PDA UNDER REVIEW – your feedback is sought – click on link below
It is no secret that I have had concerns with the effectiveness of the Southport PDA (Priority Development Area) planning scheme. Its intent is to generate growth in the CBD by removing development barriers and increasing investment opportunities. It is debatable whether it is has delivered on this over the past decade. That is why I have requested a review of the scheme to see how we can make it fit for service for the future of our CBD.
The community consultation period is now open, and we would love your input. The components of the PDA Development Scheme currently under review include:
Land use plan - regulates development within the PDA
Infrastructure plan - details the infrastructure needed to support the land use plan for the PDA
Implementation strategy - describe strategies and mechanisms that will complement the land use plan and infrastructure plan to meet the Vision for the PDA.
