One of the oldest laws in the province that governs use and access of public land, the Land Act, has been the attention of recent concern due to the obscurity of proposed changes. ORCBC met with Nathan Cullen, the minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship to better understand the proposed Land Act amendments. Read our newest piece, Facts about the Land Act, to gain clarity and understand what the changes are and what they aren't. https://lnkd.in/ggPt54zi

REMINDER For action - PLEASE SIGN to SAVE NATIONAL PARKS - Queensland Parliamentary petition This is a reminder to sign the Queensland parliamentary petition (link below) to save Queensland’s national parks from commercialisation (eg leases). An explanation follows: ASH has no objection to the present permitting system, permits being approved on an annual basis. In contrast, leases granted for commercial use of all or part of a national park, whether long-term or VERY long-term (eg70 years) are just plain wrong. Leasing a state asset is equivalent to selling its use rights; and every political party says so - when in Opposition! “Commercialisation” via leasing of national parks must stop. The land acquired for national parks is a public good. It must not be gifted to private developers. https://lnkd.in/gcExHURT. With warm regards to all defenders of Queensland’s national parks.

This is a significant start to deal with the challenges we face to make sure Tasmania remains a great place to live and work for all of us. As planners, we are thinking ultimately about how we all live from day to day. Not just for you or me, but your kids and grandkids. We desperately need strategy that is linked across sectors and agencies, and funded so that it can be implemented. We have the fastest regulatory planning system in the Country, but the strategic support for the future is underdeveloped, The Population Policy picks up some of PIA’s asks from recent campaigns, but these were not very ambitious (as many of my colleagues told me) because we are still trying to build the planning system. More is needed if we are to get the best for Tasmania and Tasmanians from all of the current reforms going on with this, the regional land use strategies, the Tasmanian Planning Policies, linkage to national programs, funding and everything else going on in the planning space at the moment.  Felix Ellis, Shane Broad, Helen Burnet, David O'Byrne, Emma Riley, Planning Institute of Australia

We are very pleased to have submitted a comprehensive application to the Federal Government’s Regional Precincts & Partnerships Program for the Coffin Bay Business Precinct Regeneration project.   The team have spent the last 18 months carrying out preliminary investigations, stakeholder engagement and industry and community consultation to prepare an impactful proposal that aims to address key challenges and constraints in Coffin Bay associated with land availability, critical town infrastructure and traffic (vehicle + vessel) movements. The project will enable the growth of the iconic Coffin Bay oyster industry and provide community, visitor and environmental benefits while simultaneously achieving one third of all actions identified in the Coffin Bay Master Plan.

𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 - 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 ProcurePM Project Management are very pleased to have supported Lower Eyre Council during project feasibility, delivery planning and procurement for the Coffin Bay Business Precinct Regeneration Project in readiness for their grant submission, and would like to wish Council every success in securing support from the Australian Government for this regionally significant project. The Coffin Bay Business Precinct project is an exciting initiative that will enable the sustainable growth of Coffin Bay’s aquaculture industry whilst also improving community safety and delivering on new key elements as part of the Project, including road and marine upgrades, and waste management infrastructure. Key elements of this multifaceted Project include the following: - Upgrading the existing boat ramp facility, - Expansion of the existing business precinct to enable growth, - Upgrades to the road transport infrastructure, - Repurposing the current waste transfer station land, - Establishment of a new waste transfer station at a new location, - Upgrade/renewal of the community wastewater management system, - Amenity upgrades to the business precinct, - Development of a Precinct Sustainability Strategy, and - Investigate opportunities for a research/education hub. Planning and detailed design will be undertaken in a partnership environment involving key partners, local community, stakeholders, First Nations and industry to support the development of a place with purpose that supports regional growth and prosperity, and promotes Coffin Bay’s reputable brand. ProcurePM worked closely with Councils’ team to scope the Project, and design and execute an innovative procurement approach to identify a delivery partner that will allow completion of both planning and detailed design phases for the project, and with a view to being ‘construction ready’ in early 2026. A successful grant application will mean the planning and detailed design for the project can kick-off immediately, having already undertaken a comprehensive tender process to select a suitably skilled and experienced design team (WSP in Australia).

In B.C. a Section 57 is the equivalent of a work permit for recreation infrastructure on Crown land. Any group that wants to build a shelter, fix up a trail or rehabilitate habitat has to apply to Recreation Sites and Trails BC for a Section 57 under the Forest and Range Practices Act. The Section 57 permitting process on Crown land is getting an efficiency upgrade. Here’s what you need to know: https://lnkd.in/gXJEit6f
