Consultation has concluded
Council’s draft Plan of Management for the Community Village and Cavanbah Centre Crown reserves was placed on public exhibition from 1 March 2021 to 14 April 2021. The period for public submissions has now closed.
About the draft Plan of Management
A Plan of Management is the legal mechanism which allows Council, as the appointed land manager, to manage the occupation and use of the lands specified in the document. This includes when and where the public can use the area, the types of activities permitted and authorises Council to grant tenures to individuals, commercial and community organisations to use or occupy the land.
Background information
The Crown Land Management Act 2016 (CLM Act) requires all councils appointed as the land manager of dedicated or reserved Crown land to manage such land as if it were public land under the Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act). Section 36 of the LG Act requires a Plan of Management to be adopted by council for all land classified as ‘community’ land and outlines the requirements of such a Plan.
The Crown, as the owner of the land, must be satisfied that Council, the appointed land manager, is proposing to use and manage the land in a manner consistent with legislation. Therefore, any draft Plan of Management must be approved by Crown Lands, a Division of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. This approval was received prior to the document being placed on public exhibition. This draft Plan of Management was placed on public exhibition from 1 March 2021 to 14 April 2021 and public submissions were received and considered by Council prior to the document being formally adopted by Council at its meeting of 13 May 2021.

Lifecycle
Stage 1
Community Village & Cavanbah Centre Draft Plan of Management has finished this stage
Draft Plan of Management as approved by the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) Division of Crown Lands (DPE Crown Lands), is exhibited for at least 42 days. Public submissions will be accepted within this period.
Stage 2
Community Village & Cavanbah Centre Draft Plan of Management has finished this stage
After the public submission period has ended, the draft Plan of Management may be revised in response to submissions. If revisions are substantial, the draft Plan of Management once again must be submitted to DPE Crown Lands for approval and may be placed on public exhibition a second time.
If revisions following the first public exhibition period are not substantial, the Draft Plan of Management will be put before a meeting of Council for it to be formally adopted.
Stage 3
Community Village & Cavanbah Centre Draft Plan of Management is currently at this stage
After adopting the Plan of Management, Council will forward a copy to DPE Crown Lands who will, on behalf of the Minister, validate the Plan of Management as applying to the land.
This Plan of Management will then become the instrument that authorises the lawful use and occupation of the land until such time as a new Plan of Management is adopted or it is revoked by the Minister. The adopted final Plan of Management can be found on Council's website under 'Community Village and Cavanbah Centre Plan of Management'.
