The planning system is designed to provide a fair and consistent set of rules to balance the pros and cons of development.
It takes into consideration the landowner, the community and the environment.
This project will improve the planning experience for businesses and individuals, enable greater resource sharing across Councils, and ensure the region derives maximum benefit from the review of the Regional Land Use Strategy.
What is a Regional Land Use Strategy?
A Regional Land Use Strategy (RLUS) is a document that identifies how the state’s planning rules are to be applied in our region. It sets out our vision for the future.
RLUS is formally made and approved by the Minister but, in practice, is drafted by the regional Councils in response to community consultation.
- Regional land use strategies set medium to long-term planning directions, influencing how land is used and developed.
- They translate the planning objectives as laid out in the Act to our region by defining how we will achieve the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and the maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity, for example.
- They provide guidance to help ensure that local plans align with regional goals, such as identifying areas for residential growth, protecting natural environments, and preserving agricultural land.
