Time is running out to have your say on future planning for the North Coast.
From its stunning beaches to the scenic hinterland, and productive valleys to coastal shores, the North Coast is a vibrant landscape of thriving ecosystems and a unique place to live.
Right now the NSW Government is developing a new plan to set the future direction for the region and so far it fails to protect the environment and the incredible natural values of the North Coast.
We’ve created a submission guide to help you prepare a submission by June 2nd. Don’t miss this chance to have you say on the future of your community.
The draft Plan covers local government areas in the North, Mid, and Lower North Coast including Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Richmond Valley, Kyogle, Clarence, Coffs Harbour, Nambucca Valley, Bellingen, Port Macquarie-Hastings, Kempsey and Greater Taree.
The plans will underpin planning and environment decisions on the North Coast over the next 15-20 years, including on key issues such as biodiversity; air pollution and water pollution; water resources, climate change; mining and coal seam gas, agriculture; waste management; transport, urban sprawl, and public open space.
It’s important that the local community has its say on the important issues that will affect the local environment and communities of the North Coast in the future.
