FAQs
Answers to your questions about Local Place Plans and Community Action Plans
There are different ways to lead the delivery of a Local Place Plan (LPP). A full local place plan process starts by engaging your community from scratch and can take around 6 months to complete.
No, unless you decide that your Community Action Plan is not recent enough to warrant it being used as the basis for a Local Place Plan without being refreshed first.
Registration of your Local Place Plan with the Local Council Planning Department will ensure that it is placed on a public register and become a material consideration (i.e. something that carries weight in the decision-making process) in decision making for development and regulation of land and building in your area.
A Local Place Plan only actually requires two maps: a map outlining the geographical boundary of the area the LPP covers and a legend map that shows where each proposal in the LPP is located.
