Strategic Projects
Planning also has an important role in initiating and managing changes to the planning scheme and in structuring areas for future growth and development. Planners need to have a long term strategic vision and ensure there is enough land available to adequately serve the needs of the community. Strategic planning is often involved in a number of new and exciting projects such as:
- Heritage preservation and landscape protection
- Climate change adaptation
- Flooding, bushfire and other hazard studies and mitigation
- Promotion and enhancement of the Municipality
- Encouraging new visitors and residents to the area
- Streetscape enhancement and urban design
