Planning for Tomorrow
Local councils and regional economic development organisations play an important role in strategic, long-term economic, infrastructure and land use planning that responds to the challenges of a rapidly changing environment.
Planning for Tomorrow improves the capability of local councils and regional economic development organisations to undertake this role. It helps local councils to be in the best position to deliver on their broad strategic planning responsibilities and enable improved efficiency and decision making processes.
The Planning for Tomorrow program provides grants to local government to fund, for example, the development of economic development strategies, structural plan, policies or design guidelines around a town or localised regions, future growth and amenity needs.
Eligibility
The Planning for Tomorrow program is available to the 48 rural and regional councils and other appropriate organisations where undertaken in collaboration with local government.
