Purpose of this Statement
The MidCoast Local Strategic Planning Statement is a pivotal tool for expressing the desired land use outcomes for the MidCoast.
The Statement acts as a link between the strategic priorities identified at a regional level and finer-grained planning at the local level as expressed in our Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) and Development Control Plans (DCPs), as illustrated below in Figure 1. Our Statement aims to ensure consistency in strategic planning approaches and identify where further strategic planning effort may be needed. It will guide how the MidCoast LEP and DCP are prepared and delivered to meet our vision and the growth aspirations of the NSW Government.
To manage this growth, the NSW Government’s Hunter Regional Plan 2036 sets out a vision to grow the MidCoast region. The MidCoast community sets out its vision in MidCoast 2030: Shared Vision, Shared Responsibility. This Statement aligns with both of these plans as indicated in Figure 1.
