Mr. Charles Stanley-Smith:

Senator Higgins spoke about an area that needs to be considered. The days of being able to come up with a completely defined plan that will work for the next ten years are gone. My background is in information technology. I was in the arena when it was big ten-year plans. Then rapid development came in and that is the only way to go because by the time a big plan is finished, it is out of date.

The PPNs would be ideal for this. Try a number of pilot projects around the place and see how that works. Try it. It might not work but we do not have the time or luxury to come up with a big, all-seeing plan.
