Table 9: Contribution of the ECMP to objects of the CM Act

The latest population projections from the NSW Planning Portal (March 2021) state that the population of the MidCoast region is projected to rise from 91,800 in 2016 to 100,100 in 2041. In the Manning River ECMP Planning Area, Taree (including Cundletown) has a population growth of 0.33% per year and current undeveloped residential-zoned land could provide 652 dwellings. The demand for dwellings by 2036 was stated as being 536 at the current population projection and 643 under a high growth scenario (draft Urban Land Monitor review 2021). Development for infrastructure, housing and commercial use is managed by Council’s Land Use Planning team under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. Documents currently being developed include:

• Urban Land Monitor Review • Housing Strategy • Rural Strategy • Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan. For more information on land use planning see section 8.1.5.
