We have 3 community infrastructure-related plans. But only 1 of them is in the Community Services and Infrastructure Planning Policy. We want to include the other 2 so we can provide strategic direction to all our infrastructure plans.
Proposed changes
- Update the policy scope to include sport and recreation facilities . This allows the policy to include:
- Sports Facility Development Plan
- Indoor Sports Facilities Feasibility Study.
- updates and consolidation the policy aims, objectives and definitions to include added plans
- update guiding principles
- include framework for assessing community infrastructure needs
- update related Council Policy and Strategy.
What these changes will achieve
- A consistent, responsive and evidence-based approach to planning and delivery of local, connected and sustainable community services and facilities
- build and support an inclusive, healthy and resilient community
- develop and maintain a network of quality, flexible and responsive community services and infrastructure. And designed and operated to meet the diverse needs of the community
- apply an evidence-based planning approach to understand universal needs and demands.
- address specific areas of disadvantage and inequity.
