The
Water Directorate has recently collaborated with the AWA in
preparing a submission to the NSW Standing Committee on Public
Works inquiry into the provision of infrastructure to regional
NSW coastal growth areas.
The
aims of the inquiry were to examine:
Growth
and consolidation trends;
Needs
for basic infrastructure;
Coordination
of Commonwealth, State and Local Government strategies to
deliver sustainable growth and infrastructure;
Best
practice methods to plan, manage and provide infrastructure;
and
Management
of socio-economic and environmental considerations of infrastructure
provision.
All
13 of our coastal member councils were invited to make a submission
to the Commissioner of the Standing Committee on Public Works
with all general feedback also welcome. Thanks to those
councils who sent through their comments and submissions.
Your contribution is appreciated.
