QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the recently released draft South Coast Regional Marine Strategic Plan, and ask -
(1) In the Environment and Biodiversity Section on page five, the plan states that it will encourage regional research into potential climate change scenarios for the south coast including developing regional-scale digital elevation models. Was any research on climate change impacts conducted prior to preparing the plan?
(2) Will the SPP 2.6 Coastal Setback Policy be applied in the plan?
