Great Lakes Council will be exhibiting the Draft Forster Tuncurry Employment Land Implementation Strategy (November 2008) during the period from Wednesday 17th December 2008 until Friday 13th March 2009. The draft strategy has been prepared by Hill PDA Consultants on behalf of Great Lakes Council to provide Council with a clear framework on which to plan the provision of areas for employment related activities (specifically retail, bulky goods, commercial and industrial) over the next 25 years in the Forster Tuncurry area. Submissions are invited and those interested in making formal submissions should do so in writing by the close of business on Friday 13th March 2009.
