An implementation plan will be developed with the final version of this Environment Strategy. It will
include:
     the environmental planning framework that will support the implementation of the Strategy
     how the success of the Strategy will be monitored, evaluated and reported to the
       community
     significant key implementation actions for the first three years of the life of the Environment
       Strategy, following community feedback on the draft.

The Environment Strategy is expected to be a 10 year document, with regular progress reporting
and review throughout that time.
