Community Participation Plans (CPPs) are a requirement under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and are designed to make participation by the public in planning matters clearer. The Gwydir CPP outlines how and when Council will engage the community during its planning functions. The Gwydir CPP will also clarify what is meant by public exhibition, which can include:
