Outcomes
Timeframe
Embedding Green and Blue Grid principles within the land-use planning framework
1
Review planning controls to deliver
environmental sustainability
outcomes.
Planning controls for environmental
sustainability will support the translation of
Green and Blue Grid principles.
Amendments to environmental
planning instruments and DCPs.
Short-term
2
Consider appropriate planning
mechanisms to accommodate Green
and Blue grid connections, particularly
during precinct planning.
The planning system can support the
implementation of Green and Blue Grid
projects. For example, planning controls to
encourage tree canopy cover, and identify
land needed to deliver Green and Blue Grid
connections.
Embed Green and Blue Grid
principles within the planning
framework.
Medium-term
Delivering Green and Blue Grid projects in the public domain
3
Prioritise Green and Blue Grid
projects for delivery.
This preliminary work will enable Council
officers to prioritise the implementation of
Green and Blue Grid Projects to assist with
securing funding and resourcing.
A Green and Blue Grid Project
Priority List is prepared.
Short-term
4
Undertake project scoping and
implement Green and Blue Grid
projects, as funding becomes
available.
Undertaking project scoping and feasibility
work will support the detailed design and
funding allocation to enable Green and Blue
Grid projects to be delivered.
Note: Project scoping may determine that the
implementation of all 24-LGA Green and Blue
Grid project opportunities is not achievable and
some projects may need to be varied to respond
to planning and funding opportunities.
Green and Blue Grid Priority Projects
are implemented.
Ongoing
Community education and
participation opportunities are
frequently offered and accessed by
the community.
Ongoing
Working with the community to improve Green and Blue Grid connectivity
5
Deliver community education and
participation opportunities.
Enhancing the community’s value of trees
by promoting their social, economic and
environmental benefits can contribute to
improving green links on private and public land.
This education and participation program is
consistent with actions within the Camden
Sustainability Strategy, Biodiversity Strategy
and other relevant Council plans.
