Overview

We are working on developing new MidCoast planning frameworks – a Local Environment Plan and a Development Control Plan - to provide a clear, consistent, region-wide framework for development.

Once in place, the new plans will guide the way we manage land use across the entire region, catering for the needs of our current communities and helping to shape our future, with a focus on housing, health, employment, recreation and infrastructure zones.

Major elements of developing our new Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plans are our rural and urban strategies.

Our urban zones

We have undertaken extensive work into the urban zones that apply to the towns and villages across the MidCoast.

We have looked at our housing, employment, recreation and infrastructure zones, which apply to where we live, work, shop and play - to develop a clear, consistent, region-wide planning framework for the MidCoast.

Next steps
