ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
WIDER AREA PROPOSALS The previous sections have considered and proposed climate resilient infrastructure projects which support the Town in its immediate needs whilst also supporting the proposed value chain and catalytic development opportunities that have been identified. This has been done through the development of an industrial cluster to introduce diversified manufacturing and processing capabilities to the Town’s economy, improvements in the Town’s entrance (gateway) and CBD, roads and storm water drainage infrastructure and the provision of enhanced public realm and pedestrian linkages. The following section outlines other broader based infrastructure projects which will assist with issues that are located in the wider hinterland of the Town or that impact the Town in some other way. Issues such as uncontrolled truck parking within the Town and CBD area, the unmanaged waste disposal and dumping to the north of the Town, the broader catchment management issues responding to both flooding and drought impacts, along with the provision of solar powered irrigation and water sourcing.
