It guides land managers to enter project-specific information, outlines required sections such as project description, location, statutory planning framework, community consultation, environmental assessment, and certification. The template emphasizes proper use of legislative provisions and independent review of legislative change and assessment best practice, while distinguishing author guidance text from final content.","\u0003\nCouncil Roadside\u000bReserves Project\nREF Template – Minor Works\n\u0003\u003CProject Name>\u0004\nPrepared By:\nDate:\n\u000f\u0004\nAbout this document\nThis document is based on the REF template developed by EMAP Consulting for local councils in NSW as part of the Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Council Roadside Reserves Project. This Project, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust, worked to build the capacity of councils to improve the management of their roadside environments.\nGuide to this template\nThe intention is that land managers will work directly into a copy of this template. Instructions and prompts are in grey text boxes. These should be deleted as you work through the template. The red text is for the author’s guidance only and should be deleted at the completion of the document.\nStandard writing examples are provided in one of two Excel Workbook (prompts in green text boxes) that accompany this project’s resource kit, which can be amended based on the needs of the project.\nThis template is for proposed activities identified as ‘Minor Works’. The amount of assessment required is dependent on the nature of the proposed activity and the environmental values of the site, each REF should be prepared with this in mind.\nThe guidance in this REF template is for guidance purposes only and the author should undertake his/her own review of legislative changes and assessment of best practice.\nDocument Tracking\nAcknowledgements\n4\nThis document was prepared by Dr Emma McIntyre of EMAP Consulting for local councils in NSW as part of the Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Council Roadside Reserves Project (CRR).  The CRR project is funded by the NSW Environmental Trust to build the capacity of councils and to improve the management of roadside environmental values in NSW.\nCitation: EMAP Consulting (2019).
