<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 />
