  • Attachment 1. Maitland City Council Submission – Draft Hunter Regional Plan and Draft Plan for Growing Hunter City
    Attachment 1. Maitland City Council Submission – draft Hunter Regional Plan and draft Plan for Growing Hunter City – March 2016 Executive summary Council welcomes the release of both the draft Hunter Regional Plan as well as the companion document being the draft Plan for Growing Hunter City. The release of an up-dated strategic framework for the region is considered overdue. Council notes and supports a number of important commitments to the Hunter Region by the NSW Government. A number of these commitments however have resource implications for councils and this consideration needs to be included in a future implementation plan. There is also a large number of recommendations and proposed actions in the draft Plans. It is recommended that these actions are prioritised in the final Plans and that the timeframe and funding sources for their implementation is clearly outlined in the annual reporting process. It is noted that the Maitland City Council area is largely included within the boundary of the Hunter City. Adjoining areas to the north, west and south of the Hunter City are identified as part of the Hunter City hinterland. This includes centres such as Kurri Kurri, Heddon Greta, Greta and Branxton. The Hunter Expressway is also included in the hinterland. However, it is considered important to recognise the importance and impact of the Hunter Expressway. It would be appropriate to consider the inclusion of the Expressway and adjacent urban areas in the Hunter City rather than as part of the “hinterland”. This includes areas associated with the corridor of development from Maitland to Kurri Kurri as well as the Hunter Expressway and west to Branxton.
