Corangamite residents are being called upon to help plan the future of the Shire's two biggest towns. The Draft Camperdown Structure Plan and Draft Terang Structure Plan are available for public feedback.
Mayor Kate Makin said the long-term plans were aimed at helping each town thrive over the next 15-20 years.
"They provide guidance on how to manage change in ways that reflects what the communities want their towns to be," Cr Makin said.
"How can land be used? What facilities and infrastructure are needed? What challenges need to be overcome and what opportunities are there to make the most of?
"The structure plans consider how to grow business and tourism opportunities and respond to the challenges of housing supply, access and safety, attracting young families, and the effects of climate change."
Cr Makin said the drafts were developed after community consultation in February and March.
"Residents contributed to developing a clear vision of their hometown's character," she said.
"Camperdown is a vibrant, walkable town that celebrates its picturesque setting and heritage, offering diverse housing, strong services, and a thriving, sustainable economy for all generations.
"Terang is a welcoming, connected town that values heritage and inclusivity, balancing growth with preservation and supporting all ages through housing, services, and a thriving economy."
Cr Makin encouraged community members to read the plans and give their feedback by Tuesday 8 July.
"The Consultation Summary Reports and Draft Structure Plans are available at www.corangamite.vic.gov.au/ctsp.
