About the project
The Torquay - Jan Juc RELS is a land use planning and economic strategy that seeks to position Torquay and Jan Juc to make the most of opportunities over the period 2020 – 2036.
The Strategy focuses on:
- supply and demand
- floor space requirements
- land use
- the role and the function of the commercial areas.
The RELS is supported by a 2020 Background Report(PDF, 4MB) which provides the detailed context and technical analysis to underpin the strategy.
