2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN
The example following shows a method of linking the Community Strategic Plan with the LEP via
the Delivery Program.
A community identifies ‘Preserving our
region’s unique rural lifestyle’ as one of
its objectives in the Community
Strategic Plan.
One of the strategies it identifies to
achieve this objective is ‘encourage
suitable development that does not
impact on significant rural landscapes’.
The council realises that this will have a potential
impact on the LEP and references the Regional
Strategy to see where the community’s intentions
for rural lands might align with the Strategy’s
settlement planning principles.
The strategy from the Community Strategic Plan
is then incorporated into the Delivery Program
and Council determines a series of actions to
implement the strategy’s intention of preserving
significant rural landscapes.
One of the actions it decides to take is to prepare a
Conservation and Development Strategy for the
shire. This will identify significant landscapes that
should be preserved and will also highlight lands that
may be suitable for various types of development.
Council will reference the Regional Strategy when
undertaking this work.
After further discussions with the community, the
results of the Strategy are translated into land
zonings in the LEP and more specific controls are
incorporated into Development Control Plans.
