Brisbane Water Plan of Management - Gosford City Council - NSW ...

A
PREFACE
The Brisbane Water Plan of Management has been adopted by the Council of the City of
Gosford on 25 July 1995 (Minute No 814/95) and this is broken into two main parts, the main
committee recommendations and guidelines and the main text which includes the individual
sub-committee and task group reports to the Management Plan.
The main committee recommendations and guidelines section of the plan outlines the plan's
objectives, management guidelines and actions covering the main issues covered by the plan.
Appendix A includes the main text of the plan, including the individual reports of the various subcommittees
and task groups established to cover specific plan issues.
An important distinction is made between objectives, guidelines and actions.
Appendix A does not represent Council's adopted Plan of Management..
The Management Plan Objectives specify the aims and intent of the plan in relation to specific
issues. They identify for Council, Government and the Community the end results that should
be achieved and followed by the management plan and its implementation. The Management
Guidelines provide general guidelines to decision makers about the way things should be done.
Authorities undertaking or approving developments or works around Brisbane Water should use
them to guide the way actions are carried out and to guide future decision making about
proposals which may not have been specifically considered in the plan. Many are suitable for
incorporation in statutory documents such as Local Environmental Plans and Development
Control Plans.
The Management Actions are tasks to be undertaken and completed by specific agencies on a
low, medium or high priority basis with funding sources identified.
