THE O'Farrell government's draft policy for resolving land use conflicts in NSW has been criticised by a member of its own cabinet, who says it is ''underdone'' in parts and does not balance mining and agricultural interests.
Just two weeks after the draft strategic land use policy was announced by the Planning Minister, Brad Hazzard, the Energy Minister, Chris Hartcher and Deputy Premier and Nationals leader, Andrew Stoner, the Minister for Western NSW, Kevin Humphries, downplayed its significance before a community meeting on the issue in Gunnedah today.
''All cabinet have endorsed at this stage is that the drafts go out for discussion and response from the community and stakeholders,'' he said. ''I can say we're a long way from signing off on those draft strategic plans.''
