Have your say on the Far North Regional Plan - Draft What's being decided? The State Planning Commission (the Commission) has released the Far North Regional Plan and they want to hear from community, councils and industry on how we sustainably prepare for future growth. The Plan will address: • population growth by ensuring land supply • managing appropriate expansion of the region’s towns and smaller settlements and providing a range of available housing options near existing employment lands • health and community services • diverse housing options to meet the needs of an ageing population, attract skilled workers, and provide for single-person households, seasonal workers, and tourists. The Plan also focuses on preserving the region’s cultural heritage and natural resources, actions to protect biodiversity, and ways to boost the region’s economy by ensuring land, infrastructure and houses needed for growth are in place.
