Programme Highlights

Looking forward with IPR
Now that all councils have submitted their integrated plans and are well on their way to implementation, this session will look at "where to from here" and how the IPR legislation links to the proposed changes in the local government act and Destination 2036, including specific LGMA NSW actions.

A Plan to make NSW #1
How does the NSW 2021 and Regional Action Plans fit in with IPR? What are the links to our Community Strategic Plans, ROC planning, regional strategies and state of the region reporting? This session will look at addressing how NSW 2021 works with local government.
