How the Statement will be used by Council

The MidCoast LSPS outlines the planning priorities for implementing the vision for the MidCoast.

It builds on how the land use planning elements identified in MidCoast 2030: Shared Vision, Shared Responsibility (the CSP) will be achieved, and will guide Council’s decisions on future planning. It will demonstrate how Council can take the lead role in facilitating growth, while balancing environmental, social and economic outputs for the MidCoast. The Statement will inform several Council processes and procedures, including: • the roll-out of strategic projects in the MidCoast Delivery Program and Operational Plan • infrastructure priorities • effectively engaging with our community and involving them in our long term planning • retaining and enhancing the character of our towns and villages • advocacy with the NSW Government for increased provision of infrastructure and services to support growth • amendments to planning controls and the delivery of the MidCoast LEP and DCP While our Statement sets the direction for our activities as a Council, partnerships with the NSW Government, businesses, community groups and the community are also crucial in delivering our community’s aspirations.
