Crown Land Plans of Management

Plans of Management (PoMs) are documents written for land that is managed by Council and classified as Community land.

Plans of Management:

  • identify the key values of the land and its purposes so they can be protected and enhanced.
  • outline how the reserve and its features, will generally be managed and maintained, it does not determine the specific work schedules (mowing, maintenance or upgrades); these are determined operationally by relevant staff.
  • aim to meet the ongoing needs of the local community.
  • Indicate how the land may be used or developed (eg. leases, licences and short term uses)

The information provided in plans of management is generally repetitive with some legal wording because they use text that is provided straight out of the NSW Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) and from a template provided by the NSW Department of Planning & Environment.
