Northern Area Plan 2016
Strategic Plan Framework: Public Services and Utilities

The main public services and utilities in the Plan context are water and sewerage, drainage, waste disposal, cemeteries, electricity and telecommunications. The provision of public services and utilities is primarily the responsibility of a number of Government Departments and Agencies, the local Councils and statutory bodies. However, the role of the private sector is becoming increasingly important.

The Department has consulted with all statutory agencies and bodies with responsibility for the provision of public utilities and services within the Plan area. The information provided by those agencies is contained in the Public Utilities and Services Technical Supplement.
