Preparation and content of State planning policy
26 Preparation and content of State planning policy
The Commission may, with the agreement or on the direction of the Minister, prepare State planning policies.
A State planning policy is to be directed primarily towards broad general planning and facilitating the coordination of planning throughout the State by local governments and public authorities.
Despite subsection (2), a State planning policy may make provision for any matter which may be the subject of a local planning scheme.
A State planning policy may be prepared so as to apply —
generally or in a particular class of matter or in particular classes of matter; and
throughout the State or in a specified portion or specified portions of the State, whether or not a planning scheme has been prepared or is being prepared in that portion or those portions of the State.
