Consultation has concluded

Feedback closed 21 November 2021

The new draft Bushland Plan of Management was on public exhibition from 6 October - 21 November 2021 (available in the document library or click here)

The draft Bushland Plan of Management (PoM) sets out Council’s land management objectives for bushland, addresses current issues and identifies and prioritises required work. It meets Council’s objectives regarding land management under the Local Government Act 1993, the Crown Land Management Act 2016 and the Native Title Act 1993.

Further background information on Council's Bushland areas is available on the ‘background’ tab (below) or click here.

Council is progressively preparing a new suite of Plans of Management that address relevant Crown reserves to comply with the requirements of The Crown Land Management Act 2016 which came into force in July 2018. View more information, including FAQs and a list of areas that are included here.

Note: Submissions are considered open access information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. In the interests of public transparency, submission in its entirety may be made available via Council’s website. Submitters are encouraged to read Council’s Information Sheet: Making a Submission to Council prior to making a submission. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

For further information call Megan White, Council's Landscape Planner on 9936 8100.

Next Steps

Council’s project team is reviewing all submissions. A report to Council will outline the community’s responses to the draft PoM, and any changes needed to finalise the document resulting from the submissions. Once adopted, the document will replace Council’s existing Bushland PoM 2014.
