Document control
The version available on this web page will be the sole controlled version. The onus is therefore on users to be familiar with and refer to this as the latest version of the IDS.
As Council’s commitment to regular reviews compounds the difficulty of ensuring paper copies are kept current, hard copies will no longer be produced.
Summarised amendments from the December 2018 version are in IDS 2022 Amendments Summary [PDF, 296 KB].
