the masterplan
The Masterplan guides strategic ratepayer investment as and when council units renew key infrastructure, and will highlight the processes, plans and policies that facilitate urban regeneration led by the community and private sector. This is council’s Enabling role.
the masterplan
This Masterplan considers and seeks to balance the needs and lifestyles of our present generation with the younger generations we want to attract and retain. We want our town centre to be celebrated and supported by residents and visitors now, and in the future. It is time for us to adapt to a decentralised and ageing population, to ageing buildings and infrastructure, and to retail decline. It is time to breathe new life into the centre with urban living, consolidated retail, and inviting attractive social spaces and activities.
