PROJECT
Building Back Northern Rivers
The establishment of guidelines relevant to the various local Councils across a large geographic footprint required a broad level of consultation, engagement and agreement. The resulting document offers a simple yet highly effective guide to navigating the development application and planning process required by those impacted. The judges considered the guideline a great example of successful cross-jurisdictional collaboration providing timely, practical advice to affected communities faced with flood recovery and rebuilding.
