The role of planning

Planning Services plays a fundamental role in the achievement of broad strategic aims of the Town in terms of its physical development and the social development of the Community.

How it is carried out

The aims are put into practice through:

• Implementation of the Town Planning Scheme through the assessment and control of land use, subdivision and development.
• Reserving land for parks, roads, schools and civic purposes.
• The preparation of broad strategic plans and policies to provide a framework for Town Planning decisions and the improvement of areas throughout the Town.
