Writing Feedback / food security / sustainability assignment; scenario [2]

hi, im wondering if people can give me some starting points on writing this. im not even entirely sure what a stakeholder's "stake" means (how it affects them?) and im having a lot of trouble imagining that i'm working professionally.

Scenario: The Victorian Parliament has voted to extend the urban growth boundary to accommodate population growth. Part of this extension is occurring in a mostly rural Shire on Melbourne's fringe. Around 40% of the fresh vegetables produced in the Shire are consumed by Melbourne residents. Another 40% reaches regional markets with the remainder travelling interstate or overseas. Despite this, the area has experienced long-term drought. As a result of housing demand and water scarcity, growers have repeatedly called for council to rezone rural land for residential living. Despite this, climate change and PEAK oil have brought new uncertainties to national and global food supply, throwing new importance of peri-urban production in supplementing food supply.

Your role is to advise the strategic planning team about the best way to balance population growth, housing and water supply and whilst maintaining food security. The team will use your recommendations to include in their Structure Plans for the area.

You work for the United Nations Associated of Australia, Victorian Division. You are holding a forum in November called " best way to balance population growth, housing and water supply whilst maintaining food security to take recommendations to the upcoming seminar.Global Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture: Australia's Role? Challenges and Opportunities". Your role is to research the best way to balance population growth, housing and water supply whilst maintaining food security to take recommendations to the upcoming seminar.

Your Draft Report needs to cover the following: 
1. Outline the background, including the policy background, to the problem raised within your chosen scenario (Note that the policy background will be more important in some scenarios than others, so please consult your tutor for guidance on this).
2. Identify the stakeholders and explain their 'stake' in the issue or issues raised within your chosen scenario. You may need to look at 'local' stakeholders and also consider the influence of non-local individuals or organisations (such as industry groups, government agencies, advocates, community groups or social sectors). Who needs to be considered in formulating a response to the problem or situation presented by your scenario? What is negotiable and non-negotiable? Who needs to be directly consulted? Which policies need to be considered? Who needs to be kept informed?
3. Briefly articulate some ways of dealing sustainability with challenges posed by your chosen scenario.
