Strategic Planning Work

We are currently working on a number of strategic planning projects, with previous, current, and future work reflected below.

Strategic Planning policy endorsed by Council to date:

Work underway

  • Land Development Strategy
  • Planning Scheme Review
  • Neighbourhood Character Assessment & Design Guidelines – Bright

Further work

The Planning Scheme Review has highlighted priority areas that require community input which in coordination with outcomes of the Land Development Strategy will reflect a 5–10-year Strategic work program.

  1. Rural Land Strategy Review
  2. Structure Planning (by township)
  3. Significant Landscape Overlay Review

Business as usual

The strategic planning team is also regularly meeting with relevant authorities and stakeholders to address existing issues that implicate planning, growth and infrastructure in the region.
