### sec.16 Contents of local planning instruments
A planning scheme must—
identify strategic outcomes for the local government area to which the planning scheme applies; and
include measures that facilitate the achievement of the strategic outcomes; and
coordinate and integrate the matters dealt with by the planning scheme, including State and regional aspects of the matters.
A regulation may prescribe requirements (the regulated requirements ) for the contents of a local planning instrument.
The contents prescribed by regulation apply instead of a local planning instrument, to the extent of any inconsistency.
For the application of this section to a planning instrument change under the Economic Development Act 2012 , see also sections 40L (3) , 41 (4) and 42K (2) of that Act.
