Bayside Council received a ‘Highly Commended’ in the recent LGNSW Awards in the Cultural Change/Innovation Excellence Awards for the Bayside Land Use and Infrastructure Limitations Study (LUILS).
The LUILS was prepared by SGS Economics together with Council’s Planning team and input from key stakeholders.
It is a study that considers a range of existing and future constraints and opportunities within Bayside, analysing how future growth will shape the LGA.
The judges noted: “This was an exemplary approach used to look at resolving a future problem. It will be instrumental in helping the council develop its strategic documents and may also have wider application for use by other councils.”
“We are really pleased that the approach to planning for our area, including for the major infrastructure of the Port, Airport and Botany Industrial Plant was acknowledged,” said a Council spokesperson.
“Council did have a consultant assist us with this study but we engaged with many major stakeholders and it was this more collaborative approach that has resulted in such a useful study and improved connections with major landowners and agencies in the LGA.”
