Municipal Planning Strategy

A Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) contains the strategic planning, land use and development objectives of the municipality and the strategies for achieving them. It is effectively the basis for the use of zones and other land use controls within the planning scheme. .

Council consulted with the wider community in 2016/17 during the development of the Council & Wellbeing Plan and the Community Vision. The outcomes, and how they relate to land use planning and development issues have helped inform an updated MPS.

Implementing the updated Municipal Planning Strategy (formerly known as the Municipal Strategic Statement - Amendment C200
