Aside from the Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2024 –2034 and Zoning Ordinance, the Project required the team to deliver several outputs including the Comprehensive Development Plan; Local Development Investment Program; Ecological Profile; Sectoral Studies; Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment; and CLUP Communication Plan.
