Council is preparing a new planning scheme to replace the current one.

It sets out zones, building heights, design standards and much more. It ensures we have enough land set aside for homes, green spaces, community facilities and business, while planning for a climate-resilient future.

Take the time to explore what’s proposed for your property, local area and our region.

Your feedback is important. Whether you support the plan or have some concerns, we want to hear from you - please make a submission.

Community feedback has informed preparation of the proposed planning scheme. We heard you. Protecting our natural environment, maintaining our unique character and addressing public transport, traffic and parking, improving development outcomes and housing affordability are all important.
