Old Gulgong Fire Station Plan of Management
Executive Summary
A Plan of Management (POM) is required to be prepared for public land which is owned and/or managed by a council and classified as community land under the Local Government Act 1993 (LGAct).

It describes the current purposes and uses of the community lands and their values, assigns them to one or more categories and sets out objectives and performance targets for active land management and use.
