Plans of Management

Edward River Council's Plans of Management are public documents that set out how community land is to be used, improved, managed and maintained.

A Plan of Management is developed by Council as a requirement of the The Local Government Act, 1993 as amended and the Local Government (General) Regulation, 2005. The Act requires Council-owned land to be classified as either ‘Community’ or ‘Operational’ land. Community land is further required to be categorised as Park, Sports Ground, General Community Use, Culturally Significant or Natural Area.

The use and management of the land is largely prescribed by the Core Objectives of each category, other related Council Policy (such as Local Environment Plan, Community Strategic Plan etc) and any other statute governing the use of the land (such as Environmental Planning & Assessment Act, 1979; Heritage Act, 1977, Disability Discrimination Act, 2014; etc).
