Residents have been invited to comment on
draft plans for various regions and for the whole city at a series of
Development Planning Open Days.
MEMBERS of the public and other interested
parties are invited to Development Planning Open Days, by the department of
development planning and urban management, to view and discuss draft City documents.
The City's development plans will be up for
discussion and scrutiny from 4 to 13 March at a number of venues. The plans
under consideration are the Draft Spatial Development Framework for 2010/11;
the Draft Regional Spatial Development Frameworks for Regions A to G for
2010/11 and Recent Precinct Plans and Urban Development Frameworks.
According to the City, the Spatial
Development Framework (SDF), with the Regional Spatial Development Frameworks
(RSDFs), represents its prevailing spatial planning policy. It informs development
proposals and applications that fall outside the scope of Town Planning Schemes
and provides a citywide perspective on spatial challenges and interventions.
Officials from the department will be
available to discuss these frameworks at the open days.
"The concept of the Planning Open Days is
to create opportunities to not only present an overview of planning work, but
to engage with interested parties on our planning work and for people's
comments and concerns to be captured in both a verbal and written format," said
Carolyn Lee, senior specialist: development planning and facilitation.
