Recreation Zones Review

For completion by June 2019

Leisure is an important part of the MidCoast lifestyle, so it makes sense that our recreation zones are currently under review. Spanning both public and private recreational areas, this review forms part of the "Zoning in on our future" project to establish consistency in land use across the region.

Infrastructure Zones Review

For completion by June 2019

Our infrastructure zones allow for the provision of fundamental systems and services needed to support the people who live and work in our region. Developing a consistent approach to land used for our transport network, emergency services, stormwater and waste management, and power and telecommunications networks is important as we continue “Zoning in on our future”.

The result will become part of our updated planning framework, to guide the way we manage land use across the entire region.
