North Coast Urban Design Guidelines

North Coast urban design guidelines (Department of Planning 2009) is a resource document to assist in advancing quality urban design on the North Coast of NSW. As a supporting document to both the Mid North Coast and Far North Coast regional strategies, it aims to manage the regions' predicted growth in a way that ensures new development is designed to reflect and enhance the unique natural, cultural, visual and built character values of North Coast towns and villages. It assists councils, industry and local communities by providing both clear guidelines and examples of a range of appropriate built designs.
