Regional Plan 2013-2016

 

A new plan for the Northern Rivers

The Northern Rivers Regional Plan 2013-2016 is the culmination of months of research, data analysis and stakeholder consultation. The plan is a clearly articulated strategy for future development. Issues such as transport and affordable housing have been brought forward from previous plans (see below) as they are still priorities for our region. Some new ones have been added, for instance how we prepare for the digital economy and opportunities in health and aged care.
