Rural Lands Strategy

In February 2018, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council began the process of engagement and research to produce a Rural Lands Strategy that would inform the creation of the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council Local Environmental Plan (LEP).

The Rural Lands Strategy was developed following considerable community consultation throughout 2018 and 2019, and was adopted by Council in June 2020. The Strategy forms part of Council’s suite of strategic landuse planning documents.

The Directions Paper is a snapshot of what issues are important to our Local Government Area as well as the opportunities we should pursue when drafting land use legislation and control plans.
