The structure and contents of the updated CLUP are outlined.
Brief Summary of Planning Process TaashikaywinMike Rae
Eabametoong and Mishkeegogamang First Nations have historically shared land and resources based on oral traditions of mutual understanding. In 2000, they signed an agreement to undertake joint land use planning to formally document and protect their shared traditional territory and culture. Beginning in 2002, they developed a community-driven, integrated land and resource management plan called Taashikaywin to sustainably manage resources for current and future generations, informed by extensive natural and cultural inventories of the area. While funding and start-up delays set the project back by years, the plan is now supported by new Ontario legislation enshrining First Nations' land use plans in law.

This document outlines the fundamental components of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), including its objectives, compensation and resettlement strategies, and monitoring. The key objectives of a RAP are to identify and improve or restore the livelihoods of those affected by involuntary resettlement due to a development project. It must also consider alternatives to minimize displacement. A RAP establishes compensation rates and outlines resettlement sites, income restoration activities, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring and evaluation procedures. It aims to enhance livelihoods in a sustainable manner and minimize undesirable impacts of involuntary resettlement.
Can a compensation claim arise under a structure plan?Alexandria Bishop
The document contains multiple articles related to local government law and planning. One article summarizes a recent court case that considered whether a structure plan identifying private land as public open space could give rise to compensation claims by landowners. The court found that the structure plan in this case did not reserve the land for a public purpose as defined in the local planning scheme, and therefore the landowners were not entitled to compensation. The case highlights the importance of terminology used in structure plans and planning schemes when designating private land.
Place RESI 2014: Jaimie Ferguson, Turley AssociatesPlace North West
This document discusses potential solutions to the UK's housing crisis. It examines past examples like garden cities and new towns that aimed to provide housing outside of urban areas. More recent approaches discussed include urban intensification projects, redevelopment of vacant urban land, and new settlements on formerly industrial sites. The document also analyzes the Dutch VINEX program which successfully increased housing supply through coordinated public-private partnerships and compact development near cities linked to public transit. Overall it argues the UK needs a variety of housing strategies including urban infill, extensions, new settlements, and allocating more land for homes to address supply issues.
The document discusses carbon sequestration opportunities for local authorities. It recommends restoring local habitats such as woodlands, farmland, saltmarshes, and kelp forests to naturally capture and store carbon. Investing in carbon sequestration can help local authorities meet emission reduction targets while also providing public amenities and boosting tourism. New funding models are needed to finance the purchase and long-term management of lands used for carbon storage.
Civil society support to land use planning in TanzaniaLandCam
Civil society organizations play an important role in supporting land use planning in Tanzania. They engage in policy and legal reform efforts, support planning authorities to conduct land use planning, monitor and evaluate processes, and advocate for communities. For example, one initiative supported four villages in Kiteto District to develop a joint land use plan through participatory mapping and establishing agreements to manage shared grazing lands, water points, and livestock routes. However, challenges remain such as few CSOs supporting the process, low implementation rates by the government, and potential for politically motivated subdivision of village lands.

LAND LAW 1 slides extent of ownership and enjoyment of land part 1 2014xareejx
This document discusses the extent of ownership and enjoyment of land, specifically regarding rights to the airspace above land. It begins by explaining that under common law and the National Land Code, a landowner has exclusive rights to the column of airspace above their land. However, these rights are not absolute - they are balanced against restrictions in other laws and the reasonable enjoyment of neighboring lands. The document analyzes several court cases that help define the limits of airspace rights, and how they can be enforced through trespass claims. It concludes by noting exceptions for public use of airspace at reasonable heights based on aviation laws.

Land Use Planning: Conflict Management Tool in Pastoral Areas in KenyaILRI
Conflict Management Tool in Pastoral Areas in Kenya; A presentation by Charles Kagema and Munira Jadeed of the National Land Commission (Kenya) Directorate of Land Use Planning NAIROBI
Land-use planning involves managing the use and development of land to achieve goals like preventing urban sprawl and protecting natural resources. In the Philippines, key tools for land-use planning include the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) produced by local governments. The CLUP guides long-term land use over 10-15 years, while the CDP is a shorter-term action plan. Zoning is also used to regulate land use types in different zones. Key institutions involved in land-use planning in the Philippines include the DENR, LMB, DILG, NEDA and local planning councils.
How Decisions Are Made in the Planning Framework By David Roemergbeltalliance
Land use decisions in California are guided by a planning framework established in state laws and local regulations. A developer first submits an application to the local planning department, which reviews the project and performs an environmental analysis. The developer then presents the project to the local planning commission, which takes public input into account. The commission ultimately decides to approve the project, require changes, or deny it. Key elements of the planning framework include the California Environmental Quality Act, climate change laws, general plans consisting of mandatory elements, zoning ordinances, and regulations governing subdivisions and other land use issues.
Alice charles conference_the_potential_of_landbanking_05.04.2011Alice Charles
The document discusses potential solutions to address the legacy of Ireland's property boom and bust, including unfinished developments, vacant offices and hotels, and surplus raw land. It examines landbanking solutions used in Ireland, the UK, Germany, and elsewhere. Key recommendations include:
1) Identifying partially completed projects and developing site resolution plans, which may include selling, demolishing, retrofitting, or finding interim uses for the properties.
2) Surveying, analyzing and strategically planning raw land through a geographic information system to identify suitable areas for development, agriculture, or conservation.
3) Establishing a land commission or national regeneration agency to assemble assets from NAMA, the state, and local authorities

2) The document outlines methods to quantify and value ecosystem services provided by agricultural landscapes and peri-urban areas.
3) Case studies are presented showing how ecosystem services in agricultural fields and peri-urban areas can be inventoried, monetized, mapped with GIS, and incorporated into decision support systems to guide more sustainable land use planning and management.
Williams_D_Peri-Urban environments: the x factor for plant pests and diseaseslatrobeuni
This document discusses the biosecurity risks posed by peri-urban environments. It defines peri-urban areas as mosaic landscapes between urban and rural areas with a mix of residential, commercial, recreational, and agricultural lands. This complexity makes peri-urban areas a risk for the establishment and spread of plant pests and diseases. Several case studies are examined, including fireblight in apples and pears, plum pox virus, grapevine leaf rust, myrtle rust, and exotic psyllid insects. The concluding remarks emphasize that peri-urban areas can act as an incursion bridge, with informal networks and a lack of commercial farming increasing risks to nearby agricultural industries from new pests and diseases.
Taylor_E_Frankenstein’s chicken: Understanding local opposition to industrial...latrobeuni
This document summarizes local opposition to broiler (meat chicken) farms near urban areas in Australia. It discusses the history of chicken farming regulations moving small backyard operations away from cities. Modern broiler farms face opposition over odors, noise, flies and effects on residential amenity. While farms claim technical solutions manage impacts, residents remain concerned and view large industrial operations as incompatible with rural expectations. The conflict channels uncomfortable emotions about intensive animal agriculture and "Frankenstein's broiler chicken." Regulations try to balance industry growth with managing amenity and environmental impacts through separation distances and conditions.
Wardell_Johnson_Environmental values and sense of place in the peri-urban lan...latrobeuni
This document summarizes a presentation on environmental values in peri-urban landscapes. It discusses:
- Peri-urban areas provide innovation and diversity through social interactions and knowledge sharing between urban and rural communities.
- A survey of residents in peri-urban areas of South East Queensland examined relationships between environmental ideals, ideologies, practices, and property size.
- Larger property owners tended to have different views than smaller property owners on environmental discourse frameworks and land management solutions.
- Maintaining diverse social and environmental values across the landscape is important for resilience and integrating land use planning with community needs.

The Urban Fringe Weed Management Initiative is a $4 million, 4-year program between 2010-2014 that received matched funding to control environmental weeds on public lands across 7 projects. It uses a collaborative, landscape-scale, strategic and asset-based biosecurity approach to monitoring and works across over 4,000 hectares. The goals are to reduce weed cover and extent, improve biodiversity, develop collaborative relationships, and establish systems to control weeds into the future.
Tiwari_P_Property market, social and political impacts of special economic zo...latrobeuni
This document discusses the impacts of special economic zones (SEZs) on urban form and property markets in Hyderabad, India. It presents two hypotheses: 1) the degree of alignment between local and state government visions will impact resulting land use patterns between SEZ developments and the city, and 2) land use patterns will transition from high-end near SEZs to more speculative uses further away. The document finds that in Hyderabad, land use between SEZs and the city is largely unplanned, with high-end development at SEZs and speculative low-value uses on former agricultural land. It also notes impacts like loss of livelihoods and common resources from SEZ development.
The document discusses how fragmented peri-urban agricultural systems can be reconfigured to achieve integrated social, economic, and environmental outcomes. A 2006 forum found that a sustainable future was unlikely with a "business as usual" approach, but over 60% likely if an integrated extension program provided incentives for best practices. By 2010, 73% of mid-scale farms feared the region's farming future. The document advocates a collaborative service delivery model involving government, universities, and industry to support farmers through business development, training, and regional branding.
Sinclair_I_Growing food in a residential landscapelatrobeuni
This document summarizes a presentation about growing food in residential landscapes. It discusses how planning has not prioritized food security or protecting food-producing land from urban expansion. The fringe areas around major cities like Sydney and Melbourne are significant producers of perishable vegetables and other intensive crops. However, rural residential development is fragmenting farms and causing land use conflicts that threaten the sustainability of agriculture near cities. The presentation concludes there is a need for planning strategies to address these issues and protect critical peri-urban food production areas.
Stockwell_B_Understanding the role of disturbance in peri-urbanlatrobeuni
This document discusses conceptualizing peri-urban agricultural systems using complexity theory and biomimicry. It proposes that peri-urban zones can be characterized as spatially and temporally patchy communities dominated by disturbance. Drawing analogies to coastal ecosystems, it suggests five dynamics that guide succession after disturbance: 1) disturbance intensity determines founder vs. relict control; 2) refugia and connectivity aid recolonization; 3) small changes create diverse community mixes; 4) adaptation is key for survival in transitional environments; and 5) initial conditions post-disturbance shape trajectories. Understanding these dynamics could help design interventions for sustainable peri-urban agriculture.
Over the past 30 years there have been significant changes in the types of farms and commodities produced in the region. Grain production decreased by 73% while wine grape production increased by 197%. Sheep numbers declined by 58% and cattle by 5%, while pig numbers decreased substantially by 69%.
Stevens_P_On Scale and Abundance – Rewatering the peri-urban landscapes of Au...latrobeuni
This document discusses approaches to watering peri-urban landscapes in more sustainable ways. It advocates designing landscapes using ecological principles to increase water retention and create more productive, resilient ecosystems. Specifically, it recommends placing vegetation and water infiltration nodes at all high points and ridges in the landscape. This would help replace current 'discharge' systems with 'recharge' systems that use biological and ecological processes to ensure long-term water, soil, and ecosystem security while providing amenities. The goal is to establish cities and towns as "forest ecosystems" with over 70% vegetation cover, high biocapacity, and integrated peri-urban areas.
Millington_A_McLaren Vale - south of Adelaide: changing identities of a peri-...latrobeuni
This document summarizes research on the changing identities of McLaren Vale, a premier wine region south of Adelaide, Australia. McLaren Vale has a "double edge effect" as both a suburban and rural area. It is defined in various ways, including as a township, wine growing district, and protected area. The researchers conducted cognitive mapping interviews to understand perceptions of McLaren Vale's boundaries and identity. They found land use has changed over time, with crops like cereals and almonds being replaced by vines. This has altered the landscape aesthetics and seasonal palettes important to McLaren Vale's identity. However, the Willunga Farmers Market and reinvention as a food and wine destination have helped establish a
Pepping_M_Workshop: Peri-Urban – Where two worlds meet as onelatrobeuni
This document summarizes information from a workshop on peri-urban areas held in Melbourne. It discusses the characteristics and issues facing peri-urban environments, including balancing food production with urban growth, rural lifestyles versus farming, and attracting city residents while maintaining environmental habitats and agricultural land. The document also provides population and demographic statistics for Wingecarribee Shire, including its aging population and goals to retain a distinct rural character and protect natural resources outlined in the shire's community strategic plan through 2031.
Peggie T_Planning for resilient, connected and well serviced communitieslatrobeuni
The Growth Areas Authority (GAA) works with seven growth area councils to plan for new communities in Melbourne's designated growth corridors over the next 30 years. This will involve developing 350,000+ households, accommodating 1,000,000 people, and establishing employment, education, community, and open space facilities. The GAA uses long-term growth corridor plans, precinct structure planning, and infrastructure coordination to help create resilient, well-serviced, and connected communities. An example is provided of the GAA's work with Latrobe City Council to plan for growth in peri-urban centers through a collaborative process that identifies infrastructure needs.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Aims
• This paper seeks to demonstrate that longer
term strategic planning in peri-urban Sydney
has been severely compromised by State
Government decisions.
• The prognosis for rural lands deemed suitable
for urban development in and around the
Sydney Basin remaining in rural use is
doubtful.

– The Growth Centres’ green zones
– Environment protection zones
• Conclusion
4. Introduction
• In its editorial of 6 October 2006 titled, ‘On top in Pitt Town:
Sartor saves the day’, The Sydney Morning Herald opined:
“Of course, planning policy must continue to seek to preserve
Sydney’s farms and vegetable gardens by releasing other land first.
Ultimately, though, where the choice is between land and lettuce,
Sydney will have to take the land. The lettuce, after all, can grow
somewhere else.”
• This decision is symptomatic of the intersection of governance,
metropolitan planning and property rights issues related to urban
growth management on the fringe of Sydney over the past 10
years.
• A number of State Government decisions and property rights
confrontations have destabilised rigorous strategic land use
planning in NSW.

9. The former Growth Centres Commission –
statutory framework
• The Growth Centres Commission was a Statutory Body
operating under the Growth Centres (Development
Corporations) Act 1974. ‘Merged’ with DoP, October 2008.
• This Act was the principal legislation under which the
Commission operated
• The Commission operated under a Board of members which
reports directly to the Minister for Planning
• State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth
Centres) 2006, gazetted 28 July 2006, is the legal instrument
that establishes the planning rules and objectives for the
Growth Centres. Approval authorities, such as Local Councils,
must apply this policy when making planning decisions about
land within the Growth Centres
10. Role of Sydney’s Growth Centres
Sydney’s Growth Centres charter is to:
• coordinate land releases in the Growth Centres in
North West and South West Sydney;
• coordinate Precinct Planning to effect rezoning of the
released land;
• coordinate the timely provision of infrastructure
required for the rezoned land; and
• collect a contribution as part of the development
process to help fund that infrastructure.
11. Role of Sydney’s Growth Centres
• The task over 30 years:
– to facilitate as much land to market as quickly as possible,
by coordinating planning and infrastructure.
– To provide capacity for 181,000 dwellings, land for
employment and $7.5 billion in regional infrastructure to
support up to half a million additional residents in Sydney.
– Over 12,300 developable hectares; over 2,500 hectares for
employment
• Achieved by:
– Linking planning and infrastructure provision
– reduction of time to rezone land from seven to 10 years to
two to three years
– A precinct planning approach
12. Facilitation of land planning and release
• Reduction of time to rezone land from seven to 10 years to two to
three years through adopting a precinct planning approach.
• Approval and adoption of Draft Conservation Plan for the Growth
Centres which provides biodiversity certification throughout the
Growth Centres
• Agreed protocols for dealing with other concurrences at Precinct level
instead of Development Application (DA) level, so reducing
development times
• Formulation of the Growth Centres Development Code
• Implementation of the Precinct Acceleration Protocol
YET:
• Decision to abolish the GGC appears to have been a highly political one
– inter-factional power struggles; lobbying by unfavourably disposed
developers; support by former Planning Minister for GCC retention
13. Managing growth?
Landholder-nominated land releases
• Developer pressure following release of City of Cities for
greenfield releases outside the Growth Centres (e.g.
Macarthur South/Appin) – contrary to sustainability
criteria.
• August 2011: Planning Minister calls for expressions of
interest from landowners seeking to develop their land for
housing.
• In response to invitation for landowner-nominated land
releases, 43 sites submitted for consideration, of which 29
were selected for further evaluation: rezoning of seven of
these commenced and 13 to be investigated in upcoming
local or regional strategies.
14. Ministerial land deals in the Lower Hunter
• ‘Unplanned’ land rezonings/development approval and land
dedication agreements
• In finalising the Lower Hunter Regional Strategy the NSW Government
reached agreement with four major landholders for the dedication of
over 12,000 hectares of land in return for the recognition of additional
development potential over 3280 hectares.
• The details of the negotiated outcomes were set out in a series of
Memoranda of Understanding between the NSW Government and
the four landholders/developers
• Land and Environment Court ‘land bribe’ finding against the Minister
for Planning
(Gwandalan Summerland Point Action Group Inc v Minister for
Planning [2009] NSWLEC 140)
15. Department of Planning
“documents show that four major
landowners in the area lobbied to
have their land included in the
Lower Hunter Regional Strategy.”

17. The Growth Centres’ green zones
• Abandonment of the green zones or areas – formally
described as Landscape and Rural Lifestyle Zone (LRLZ) under
the 2005 Sydney Metropolitan Strategy
• On 3 November 2005, the NSW Minister for Planning
announced the scrapping of two proposed ‘green zones’ in
the south-west and north-west urban growth centres (that is,
new urban release areas) of Sydney.
• This ‘green overlay’, designed to preserve existing non-urban
land for aesthetic, biodiversity conservation, recreation and
agricultural purposes, covered 8,400 hectares in the land
release areas, and a further 14,000 hectares outside the
growth centres boundary.
20. The demise of Sydney’s new urban release area
‘green zones’
• The role property rights played was admitted by the Minister
in an earlier media release when he announced a review of
the LRLZ and stated that “the green zones were never
intended to change people’s existing land use rights.” (5/9/05)
• Recognition of these implications was acknowledged in the
Sydney Morning Herald the next day when it reported:
Developers and groups representing thousands of aggrieved
landholders yesterday applauded the State Government’s decision to
walk away from a green zoning proposal that had denied property
owners the right to cash in on future housing estates. (10/9/05)
21. Environment Protection Zones and Down-zoning
• Four new ‘environment protection’ zones in NSW - local councils warned by
DoP to maintain wider designation of permissible land uses due to the
potential to attract compensation through compulsory acquisition for injurious
affection through down-zoning
“The range of uses proposed to be permitted in the E zones is a consideration for council in
consultation with the Department of Planning. In determining uses, council should be aware that the
range of uses should not be drawn too restrictively as they may, depending on circumstances,
invoke the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 and the need for the Minister to
designate a relevant acquiring authority.
Unless a relevant acquisition authority has been nominated and that authority has agreed to the
proposed acquisition, council should ensure, wherever possible, that the range of proposed land
uses assists in retaining the land in private ownership.”
• Advice appears to be targeted specifically to proposed E2 Environmental
Conservation and E3 Environmental Management zones.
• A major extension of the policy presumption and legal requirement that
compensation is only payable in situations where land is identified and reserved
in a statutory planning instrument for future public purpose, and not for mere
‘injurious affection’.
22. Conclusion
• The recent history of metro planning for Sydney,
particularly as it affects peri-urban areas, has been
racked by short-term ad hoc decisions governed by
political expediency.
• Long term strategic planning for Sydney has been
marred by the preoccupation of successive State
Governments with electoral cycles, urban land
release decisions that are deferential to developer
and landholder interests, and planning, land use and
zoning policy that is subservient to legally unfounded
but politically powerful property rights influences.
