Representation Summary:

In summary: The settlement hierarchy in the Pre-Submission Plan is not based on an up-to-date assessment, fails to reflect current circumstances, and, as such, the Plan has not been positively prepared, is not justified, and will not be effective. The evidence suggests that Horsford should be reclassified as a Key Service Centre, and an appropriate and increased level of growth assigned to it. As it stands, the Plan is not justified, will not be effective, and is not consistent with national policy.
