Shoalhaven City Council asked for your feedback on a Discussion Paper (pdf 3.7MB) about the update of the Growth Management Strategy. This Paper was exhibited between November 2018 - January 2019, with the opportunity to provide feedback on it ending in January 2019.
The project team is currently reviewing the responses received and will publish an Engagement Report in July 2019. This report will summarise the feedback received. The matters identified in the submissions will be used to inform the preparation of a draft updated Strategy. Council intends to publicly exhibit and seek your feedback on a draft updated Strategy early next year (2020).
Shoalhaven Character Assessments
Council also asked for your feedback on a draft Shoalhaven Character Assessments Report prepared by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment and Roberts Day (an urban design company).
Your
feedback on this document has been passed to Roberts Day for its consideration.
A separate webpage has been created for this project. To stay informed, please visit the Shoalhaven Character Assessments page and subscribe for updates via the “Stay Informed” link on the page.
Local Strategic Planning Statement
Council is also developing a Local Strategic Planning Statement, a new strategic land-use policy document setting out how Council will meet the community’s needs over the next 20 years. This Statement will explain the basis for strategic planning with regards to economic, social and environmental matters. It covers how Council anticipates the City will change and the infrastructure and services required by the community.
This means the Statement will address a broad range of matters such as:
- Housing supply, diversity and affordability
- Employment and economic growth
- Environmental protection
- Preserving the character of towns and villages, and
- Infrastructure and service provision.
Your feedback on the Growth Management Discussion Paper and Character Assessment Report will be considered as the Local Strategic Planning Statement is developed.
