Planning and Policy Impact<br />
PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL<br />
The maintenance of an up-to-date strategic planning framework is an important part of <strong>Council</strong>’<br />
s operations. The objectives of the program are to facilitate ecologically sustainable urban<br />
development, promote economic growth and coordinate good development outcomes for the<br />
future benefit of current and future generations. The actions described above are derived from<br />
<strong>Council</strong>’s adopted UGMS, which is in turn consistent with the Mid North Coast Regional<br />
Strategy.<br />
Financial & Economic Implications<br />
The Strategic Planning team comprises a Manager, two Senior Strategic Planners and two<br />
Strategic Planners. The team operates with an annual budget for strategic studies, such as for<br />
ecological investigations in areas of high landowner fragmentation, where coordination of<br />
landowner funding is not possible. It is proposed that <strong>Council</strong> undertake the above program<br />
within current staffing and annual budget allocation.<br />
Options<br />
<strong>Council</strong> could opt to defer consideration of the above report or amended the priorities contained<br />
therein. It is recommended that <strong>Council</strong> endorse the Strategic program, as detailed in the<br />
report.<br />
