Whittlesea Township Plan

Whittlesea Township Plan

The Whittlesea Township Plan establishes a long term vision and provides direction for the future planning and development of the Whittlesea Township over the next 15-20 years.

Looking forward, Whittlesea Township will:

• retain its unique rural country feel, continue to serve the day to day needs of the local community with a strong community focus for the surrounding rural areas.
• have a thriving, inclusive, connected and safe community and provide for the community to age-well across all life stages, with well utilised services and facilities, including opportunities for recreation, to meet the current and changing needs of the community.
• be a contained town where residential growth is appropriately managed, and which has a diversity of housing options to meet the needs of different household types and which respects the character of the local area.
• be a well connected and accessible community with sustainable and active travel options.
• have a strong and vibrant local economy and local employment opportunities.
• continue to have a strong connection to the surrounding natural environment.

Whilst implementation of the plan is primarily the responsibility of Council, support is also required from the State Government, other public agencies and the private sector.
