City Growth Plan Map
The City Growth Plan identifies generalised areas where opportunities for increased housing choice and population growth may be accommodated, without impacting on the historic character and qualities of the City that should be protected.
The identified areas reflect the strategic intent of the Council’s guiding principles that seek a focused approach to growth through the application of the concept of living locally. They align with the strategic directions and policies of the state government, as well as responding to the changing and future needs of the local community anticipated in the next 25 years.
The City Growth Plan reinforces established corridor development policies set in place by past Council and State Government strategic directions. In addition, the draft Plan identifies key ‘precincts’ considered to have the greatest potential to accommodate additional and more diverse housing in the City.
Outside of the precincts and main road corridors, the areas of consistent, well established historical residential character are not intended for significant policy change.
The plans and range of development nominated in the draft Planning for Growth are indicative and intended to support engagement by helping stakeholders and the community envision the general location, scale and nature of possible change.
It is important to note that the proposed approach is not a final decision. Further detailed planning and consultation will be needed before any of the proposals are further contemplated or incorporated into the Local Housing Strategy that is required to be prepared by the Council. This is explained in the Next Steps section of the Plan.
The areas of the map not highlighted are generally those of well established residential character not intended for significant policy change.
All highlighted areas are not intended to be definitive and are only indicative of the broad nature and spread of greater development potential.
Not all local activity clusters or areas are shown on the City Growth Plan. Only locations of activity centres with the opportunity for some greater capacity in land uses and services are included.
