The purpose of this consultation is to assist the Council in amending its Development Plan. 

The Development Plan is the planning policy document that guides development in an area.  When it is amended, the policies in the Development Plan will enable development that is consistent with them.  The decision to develop land or not is then up to land owners.  There is no compulsion to develop land and hence whether the State Government’s targets are met and in what timeframe they may be met is in the hands of individual land owners who may decide to sell or develop their property.
