<strong>Cobram</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
− To contain urban growth to identified areas in order to protect higher quality<br />
and intact agricultural areas and sensitive environmental areas, and to achieve<br />
a more compact built up area.<br />
− Provide for the development of sustainable and liveable urban areas in an<br />
integrated manner.<br />
− To release land efficiently in terms of location, supply of services and infrastructure.<br />
− To facilitate the logical and efficient provision of infrastructure.<br />
− Seek to minimise potential land use conflicts through recommending<br />
appropriate zoning patterns and/or other statutory planning tools such as<br />
overlays, design guidelines, local policies and the like.<br />
1.4 Public and Stakeholder Consultation<br />
One of the vital components of a <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is the incorporation of stakeholder<br />
consultation. Consultation sessions were held in <strong>Cobram</strong> in December 2006 and<br />
January 2007 for the following key industry stakeholders:<br />
− Business and community individuals and groups<br />
− <strong>Council</strong> officers and <strong>Council</strong>lors<br />
− Local residents<br />
− Landowners<br />
− Servicing authorities<br />
− Relevant government agencies<br />
The consultation sessions focussed on the identification of the perceived issues<br />
facing <strong>Cobram</strong> at present and the identification of important projects to be<br />
undertaken and appropriate strategic direction to be achieved over the next 15-20<br />
years.<br />
The feedback received from the consultation sessions has played an important<br />
role in the formulation of this draft <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
Attachment 1 includes details of the consultation program.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> will be seeking further community feedback on this draft <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
when it is placed on public exhibition. This feedback too, will play an important<br />
role in finalising the <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> for <strong>Cobram</strong>.<br />
