Action 2
Improve liaison between the Government, local government and key
stakeholders
Establish Committees for Smart Growth
Lead agent: DOI in partnership with local
government
A Committee for Smart Growth will be formed for each growth area
to examine existing Growth Area Plans or prepare new Growth Area
Plans, and help with dialogue, liaison and information exchange
between the Government, local councils and other key stakeholders.
The purpose of these committees is to oversee the progress and finalisation
of Growth Area Plans, and to determine and achieve goals, objectives
and outcomes in a multidisciplinary forum.
Core membership would include DOI, councils and key infrastructure
agencies. It may also be appropriate for the development industry
to be involved. The final membership would be agreed between DOI
and councils. Membership may include several neighbouring councils
with overlapping issues and concerns, such as, the provision of
major regional infrastructure and development sequencing.
Committees for
Smart Growth
Key
tasks
These include:
- prepare an interim sequence of development in each growth
area
- coordinate the Growth Area Plan review
- provide a forum to bring together representatives of the
Government, local government and physical infrastructure
service providers and to seek agreement about the timing
and provision of physical and human services
- monitor and review the preparation and
implementation of local structure plans, including urban
design frameworks
- monitor and report on proposed outcomes for population
and housing (see draft Implementation Plan 3, Housing) and
provision of employment in each growth area
- establish a community consultation program.
Reporting structure
Each committee would report regularly to the relevant council(s)
and the Minister for Planning on the recommendations emerging
from the Growth Area Plan review process.

Lead agents: DOI in partnership with local government

process in each growth area.

a regular basis
