Item 17
S02252
4 April 2005
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The sole cost <strong>to</strong> Council has <strong>be</strong>en related <strong>to</strong> Council staff time in undertaking the review and
preparing the report.
CONSULTATION WITH OTHER COUNCIL DEPARTMENTS
The review <strong>of</strong> the Water Management Policy had <strong>be</strong>en undertaken in conjunction with the
preparation <strong>of</strong> DCP 47 and the Riparian Policy. The process has involved staff from the
Departments <strong>of</strong> Planning and Environment, Technical Services, Open Space and Development and
Regulation.
SUMMARY
The Water Management Policy consists largely <strong>of</strong> information that is either background
information or has <strong>be</strong>en superseded by other Council documents. The vision contained in the
Policy has merit, however, this vision is superseded by that contained in the new Riparian Policy.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council rescind the Water Management Policy 1999.
