Panel report to the Minister for Planning October 2006 (2.3 MB PDF file)
Departmental letter in relation to a reference in the panel's report to the Jezreel Consortium proposal (26 October 2006)

The panel was asked to review a number of sensitive urban lands identified in the draft South Coast Regional Strategy (see Appendix 2), as well as an additional site at Comberton Grange. Its terms of reference were to:

• review the suitability of each site for urban development and the scale and type of any recommended land release, having regard to the site's biophysical constraints, servicing and infrastructure issues
• advise on the priority and timing of any recommended releases for urban development, including an assessment against forecast population growth trends
• advise on what (if any) alternate land uses might be suitable for each site in the event that urban development is not considered suitable.
