City strategy outlines vision for future land use planning and development

The Strategy is intended to guide future land use planning and development in the City and focusses on facilitating urban growth while providing housing diversity, supporting economic growth, delivering quality public spaces and protecting our environmental and community assets.

All community members are invited to complete our online survey or attend our drop-in sessions to provide feedback and help shape the future of the City.

Mayor Linda Aitken said the document was the City’s first Local Planning Strategy and encouraged residents to have their say.

“As one of the State’s fastest growing local government areas, the City continues to play an important role in accommodating population growth, supporting economic opportunities, delivering connected infrastructure, all while balancing our impact on the environment,” she said.

“Our community wants diverse housing choices, a range of transport services and infrastructure to support walking, cycling, public transport and car use.

“The Strategy aims to protect our unique local character and sense of place while we plan for future growth and development.”

Once finalised, the Strategy will inform a new Planning Scheme, as well as land use plans and policies.
