The Development Plan, referred to as PlanCayman is a long-range comprehensive policy which will be used to guide physical development and the overall use of land in the Cayman Islands. The primary objective of the Development Plan is to maintain and enhance the economy, society and environment of the Cayman Islands. It is intended that the policy and strategy for the Islands is flexible enough to accommodate individual requirements, special circumstances and changing conditions while also ensuring that all development seeks to balance and integrate social, environmental and economic considerations to meet the needs of the nation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Achieving a sustainable economy requires collaboration between the government, businesses, community and individuals. As such, a priority for PlanCayman is to encourage better coordination and cooperation among all interested persons and entities
