Community planning services in Glenelg Shire Council: 1998-2005
Overview
This review was undertaken following receipt of a number of concerns expressed by the local community, organisations and government agencies around the provision of town planning services to Glenelg Shire Council. The concerns fall under three broad headings: an alleged failure of the planning contractor to comply with legislative requirements; appropriateness of the council’s arrangements for delivering its planning services; quality of the council’s strategic planning for the use and development of land in its area. These concerns centred around the impact of council decisions on the conservation and protection of significant state and local cultural, historic and environmental assets.
