As you may be aware, the NT Planning Commission released a public consultation paper, Towards a Katherine Land Use Plan, in June 2013 to guide discussion and generate comment around future land uses for the Katherine region.  A series of Land Use Forums were held in July and public comments were sought.

A Summary Report – Feedback on Consultation Paper Towards Katherine Land Use Plan – is now available on the Northern Territory Planning Commission website.

A draft Katherine Land Use Plan will be presented at the next Commission meeting in October 2013.

Recommendations will then be made to the Minister for Lands, Planning and the Environment, who will determine the next steps, including further opportunity for community and stakeholder feedback.
