The Northern Rivers Local Government Development Design and Construction Manual is a collaboration between Lismore City Council, Ballina Shire Council, Kyogle Shire Council, Richmond Valley Council, Clarence Valley Council and Byron Shire Council.
It serves as a resource that provides uniform development standards across the Northern Rivers area through a comprehensive set of guidelines for design and construction of development infrastructure.
The manual is intended to benefit both the community and the development industry by providing clear instructions for infrastructure requirements in the region. It is based on the Aus-spec Development Specification series, but has been tailored to meet the specific needs of the Northern Rivers area.
The manual is intended to be used by the development industry before planning begins, which will facilitate faster and more efficient processing of developments through council.
