Precinct Planning Program
The Local Planning Strategy recommends that the local planning framework be progressively updated over the next 4-5 years through precinct planning.
Each precinct is complex and requires individual attention, engagement with landowners and community and development of tailored planning directions.
Precinct planning areas
The current focus areas for the Town's precinct planning program are shown below.
Albany Highway Precinct Planning 2021-2025
Precinct planning for the Albany Highway area is well underway and kicked off in 2021 with a comprehensive research and community engagement campaign called Shape Albany Highway. So far the Town has worked with the community on exploring and documenting Albany Highway, envisioning development and growth scenarios for the future of the precinct and the project team is now using the Council endorsed preferred growth scenario to develop a draft Precinct Structure Plan for Albany Highway.

Oats Street Precinct Planning 2023-2025
The Oats Street precinct, centred by Oats Street station, has been identified in State and Local Government planning frameworks as having the potential for greater development to maximise community use of high frequency public transport services. In light of this, the Town is investigating opportunities for growth and improvement, and will engage community, businesses, and other key stakeholders to develop a precinct structure plan to guide long-term redevelopment.
