The Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities is conducing an inquiry examining city planning and sustainable urban development, with a focus on how to transition existing capital cities, and how to develop new and existing regional centres.

Port Macquarie is designated with regional city status in the state government’s 20-year blueprint for the future of the NSW North Coast.

Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has delegated authority to the general manager, in consultation with the deputy mayor, to respond to the inquiry on behalf of the council.
