Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback on the draft DAP Guidelines.

More than 700 stakeholders from over 250 organisations, including councils, Joint Organisations/Regional Organisation of Councils, government agencies/organisations, industry, private or academic organisations, infrastructure providers and community organisations were engaged.

Engagement included 22 face to face and online workshops, briefings, meetings, and other forums to obtain feedback from across the state, and the Have Your Say online platform was used to collect written feedback via a survey or submission.

Our stakeholders told us that they strongly support a regional approach and that good governance and strong leadership from RA will be critical. There was widespread support for the 5-stage DAP process which includes readiness, understanding place, options and adaptation pathways assessment, plan finalisation, and implementation and monitoring. Feedback has been analysed and captured in an engagement summary report, which can be found here.

Next steps

The RA is working to finalise the guidelines to be launched in early 2025 together.
