Development Industry Reference Group

5 May 2011

Council is continuing to consult the members of the Development Industry Reference Group (DIRG) on a range of planning related matters. 
 
Although a meeting was not held last month, Council sought comment on issues such as a draft implementation note regarding the methodology for determining public parks credits pursuant to the Hervey Bay City Planning Scheme Planning Scheme Policy 4 and the Standard Conditions for detached dwellings and sheds. 
 
Based on the feedback received, a workshop will be scheduled in the coming weeks to discuss these and other issues, including the Final Report of the Infrastructure Charges Taskforce, which was released last month. 

As this group comprises representatives from various peak bodies, you are encouraged to contact the member/s that best represents your interests as follows:
