Draft MidCoast Rural Strategy

Context

The scope of the Strategy is extensive. Essentially all land and water currently zoned for rural, environmental or waterway purposes throughout the MidCoast needs to be considered, this area is illustrated in Figure 1. Simply put, over 95% of all land and water outside of the existing towns and villages of the MidCoast has been considered during the preparation of the Strategy. Figure 1.
