Table 5-3: Unserviced communities
5.1.3 Unserviced Areas
In 2000, an analysis of unserviced communities which have the potential to impact downstream activities was undertaken. This analysis included a risk assessment which considered:
The number of existing developed lots and their size; The site soil conditions; and The proximity of the existing development to downstream activities such as town water supply, shellfish food production, aquatic ecosystem and recreational and agricultural uses. The unserviced communities that were assessed are shown in Table 5-3.

The report from this analysis provided a priority ranking of small villages and ‘fringe’ areas for both the former Greater Taree City Council and Great Lakes Council areas. These rankings are shown in Table 5-4. The former Gloucester Shire Council was not amalgamated with MidCoast Water at the time that the detailed risk assessment was undertaken and, as such, unserviced communities in the former Gloucester Shire local government area were not part of this assessment. We have looked at the Gloucester area unserviced communities at a high level and have determined that villages such as Stratford belong in Priority Group 3.
