Provide your feedback on Council’s Economic Land Use Strategy

To support Baw Baw Shire’s future economic and employment growth, Council has developed the Draft Economic Land Use Strategy and is seeking feedback from community and businesses on the document. 

Responding to Baw Baw’s growing community, the Strategy has been drafted to ensure sufficient commercial land is allocated to meet enterprise, industry and resident needs as well as encouraging future investment to the region.  

Developed in consultation with the community and industry groups, the Draft Strategy has been shaped with feedback submitted as part of the initial community consultation in May 2022 as well as input gathered from the Issues and Options Discussion Paper 2022.  

Interested businesses and community members are invited to attend an in-person consultation session to raise questions and learn more about the Draft Strategy. 

This consultation opportunity will close on 16 April 2023.

“This key planning strategy details how land may be allocated and rezoned in the future to address both the challenges of population growth while supporting our key industries to flourish.  

I encourage community members and businesses to come along to the sessions and chat with our Planning team to learn more about how this strategy will support our Shire’s long term economic vision and strengthen future investment.”
