Sustainable Infrastructure Development

The sustainable development of our Borough will require increased investment in and development of high quality transportation, communications and utilities infrastructure to meet future growth needs. This is supported by regional policy that seeks the delivery of transportation and communications infrastructure that will give a competitive advantage to the Region. The Regional Development Strategy (RDS) recognises that to remain competitive in the global market it is important to continue to promote transport, which balances the needs of our environment, society and economy. The RDS also recognises the need to improve international and internal connectivity and to ensure that the opportunities provided by access to high quality telecommunications and digital services are fully exploited.
