  • Coomalie Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives 2000 Supports the Northern Territory Government’S Vision for Coomalie for the Next 20 to 25 Years
    Department of Lands, Planning and Environment Foreword Part 1 - Planning Concepts of Coomalie Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives 2000 supports the Northern Territory Government’s vision for Coomalie for the next 20 to 25 years. The Planning Concepts provide the direction and stimulus for public and private developers and the consent authority. This should facilitate the development of Coomalie in a manner which preserves its rural nature while recognising opportunities for continued development at a sustainable level. Part 1 - Planning Concepts provides the background information to Part 2 - Land Use Objectives. The Batchelor Division of the Northern Territory Planning Authority has been directed, and it is intended that any future Coomalie consent authority will be directed, to take the Planning Concepts into account along with those matters listed under the Planning Act 1993, when considering a development application. Part 2 - Land Use Objectives of Coomalie Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives 2000 contains the land use objectives which have formal status by virtue of declaration under section 8(1) of the Act. Part 2 - Land Use Objectives establishes the framework for planning control within the Coomalie Sub- Region. To achieve this, land use objectives are provided under Key Objectives for the entire Sub-Region and under Land Use Objectives for specific land uses. The general discussion of issues assists in interpreting and implementing the objectives. The Coomalie Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives 2000 aim to provide a co-ordinated and strategic approach to land use planning in Coomalie. In due course, the NT Planning Scheme Coomalie will apply to the entire Coomalie Sub-Region and parts of this Scheme will translate the land use objectives into planning practice.
