sec.14Preparation of project plan

### sec.14 Preparation of project plan Before an area is constituted a project area the chief executive shall prepare, and there shall be, an approved project plan for that area. A project plan shall delineate the boundaries of the proposed project area and comprise a map and specifications which describe all soil conservation measures, undertakings, acts, proposals, prohibitions and things designed, carried out, enforced or proposed to be carried out or enforced pursuant to this Act for the purpose of soil conservation or of controlling or directing run-off water flow or for any other purpose within the scope of this Act. The chief executive shall in the preparation of a project plan classify all works for the implementation of that plan into either community works or owner works. For the purposes of this part— community works are those works that in the opinion of the chief executive are for the general benefit of the community affected by a proposed project plan or for the particular benefit of a group of owners whose land comprises part or all of a proposed project area; owner works are works other than community works. A preliminary estimate showing the capital cost of works necessary to implement a project plan shall be prepared by the chief executive showing separately the estimated costs of community works and owner works both in the aggregate and in respect of each parcel of land. The chief executive shall, where possible during the preparation of a project plan, consult with all persons who in the chief executive’s opinion will be or are likely to be affected by the implementation of the project plan. When a project plan has been prepared the chief executive shall— by notice published at least once in at least 1 newspaper circulating in the proposed project area, give notice that the plan and all matters relevant to it are open for inspection at the department’s office serving the project area for a period determined by the chief executive being not less than 21 days from the date of first publication of the notice and that objections to the plan may be lodged in accordance with the provisions of part 5 ; and serve on, or by post forward to, all the owners, or where an owner is not in occupation, the occupier, of land which will be or is likely to be affected by the implementation of the plan a copy of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) and a copy of the plan. s 14 amd 1994 No. 15 s 3 sch 1 ; 1995 No. 58 s 4 sch 1 (sec.14-ssec.1) Before an area is constituted a project area the chief executive shall prepare, and there shall be, an approved project plan for that area.
