LEGISLATION
and policy frameworks The following table provides a high-level overview of legislation and policies that are relevant in preparing and implementing the Foreshore Management Plan (and undertaking works on the foreshore).
This table may look onerous at first; however a key purpose of the Plan is to help navigate and simplify the regulatory and approval processes. For further information on legislation, plans and policies visit Council’s website and/or legal information resources such as AustLII (www.austlii.edu.au)
