A Housing Strategy enables Upper Lachlan Shire Council to plan effectively for new and future housing growth having regard to current data, trends and characteristics of the local housing market. It provides both a long-term vision and a practical framework for how the Council will guide, manage and improve housing within the Local Government Area.

What is a Development Control Plan?
A Development Control Plan is to be read in conjunction with the Upper Lachlan Local Environmental Plan and any relevant State Environmental Planning Policies.
