The Importance of Land Use Plans


Meetings, the importance of Land Use Plans, rapid expansion of coal and coal seam gas industries in the Hunter, CSG Industry’s statistical spin.

Last Thursday I went with others from Putty to a meeting at the Department of Environment at Governor Macquarie Tower in Sydney. The security in the building was daunting but the meeting gave us a chance to put our case forward for a mining free zone at Putty.

We were advised that the Regional Land Use Plan for the Upper Hunter which is currently being prepared by the NSW government is going to address this issue and were told that through this process communities are going to have a once in a lifetime chance to influence the future of their areas.
