Help shape the vision for land use and development in Nillumbik as we prepare our new Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS).
A Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) provides an overview of important local planning issues and, together with the Victorian Planning Policy Framework, provides the strategic basis of the Nillumbik Planning Scheme – the 'vision' for the planning scheme.
It is the 'big-picture' part of the planning scheme that identifies key issues and influences specific to Nillumbik.
Mayor Peter Perkins said the MPS was a critical blueprint for future development and land use in Shire.
"This vision needs to reflect everything we love about where we live," Cr Perkins said.
"The MPS will influence planning decisions in the Shire for many years to come and we encourage our community take the opportunity to provide their input into it.
"There will be opportunities to share and discuss ideas at a series of online community workshops later this month."
Key themes and influences will be discussed at a series of four programmed online community workshops. Register here.
