| Recreation and Open Space Strategy 2021 - 2031 |

Agricultural Strategy
|
The first in NSW and of its kind for Local Government. This strategy is a foundational document that will guide regional decision-making in Agriculture into the future. The Agricultural Strategy 2018-2030 is multi-faceted, with consideration of land-use planning, land capability and water availability, supply chain and transport infrastructure, value-adding opportunities, skills and innovation, marketing and branding, and the CWLE. This was a jointly funded and supported program with the Federal Government. The strategy was launched by Deputy Prime Minster, Michael McCormack MP in February 2019. |

| Growth Management Strategy |
Forbes Shire Council adopted its Growth Management Strategy in December 2007 after it was exhibited for 2 months. The Council did not make any determination on the rural minimum lot size for dwelling houses as well as the most appropriate rural land use zonings because of the Central West Rural Lands Inquiry and proposed Rural SEPP. The Rural SEPP has now been gazetted and the Council has proceeded with the finalisation of the rural provisions. This report recommends a minimum lot size of 200ha. |

| Digital Strategy |
For Council, and Local Government more broadly, to be
adaptable, agile and ready to transform, a robust and strategic approach must
be taken in all areas of digital strategy into the future. The Digital Strategy 2018-2028 outlines the five
key objectives Council will deliver on over the first five years of the
strategy, in preparedness for the significant industry (and global) changes
that will inevitably impact on Council operations.
