Schedule 3 - Priority infrastructure plan and supporting material

  1. Preliminary
  2. Planning assumptions
  3. Priority infrastructure area
  4. Desired standards of service
  5. Plans for trunk infrastructure

3.1 Preliminary

  1. The purpose of the priority infrastructure plan is to:
    1. integrate and coordinate land use planning and infrastructure planning
    2. ensure that trunk infrastructure is planned and provided in an efficient and orderly manner.
  2. The priority infrastructure plan:
    1. states in Section 5.2 (planning assumptions) the projections of future urban growth and the assumptions of demand for each trunk infrastructure network, which have informed the preparation of the priority infrastructure plan
    2. identifies in Section 5.3 (priority infrastructure area) the prioritised area to accommodate urban growth for 10 to 15 years
    3. states in Section 5.4 (desired standards of service) for each network of development infrastructure the desired standard of performance of infrastructure
    4. identifies in Section 5.5 (plans for trunk infrastructure) the existing and planned trunk infrastructure for the following networks:
      1. water supply
      2. wastewater
      3. transport

3.2 Planning assumptions

  1. The planning assumptions form a logical and consistent basis for the planning of the trunk infrastructure networks and the determination of the priority infrastructure area.
