Teesdale Structure Plan

The new Teesdale Structure Plan will replace the existing plan, which dates back to 1997. Since then, Teesdale’s population has continued to increase, with the township growing from 1,479 to 1,791 residents between 2011 and 2019.

The Teesdale Structure Plan:

• Builds on and recognises the existing 1997 Teesdale Structure Plan by formalising a growth area to the north-east of the town, initially identified in 1997;
• Encourages residential infill development and commercial development;
• Identifies a number of infrastructure and other projects beneficial to Teesdale that are not already considered in existing Council Strategies; and
• Does not propose any new growth areas outside the existing settlement boundary or any new commercial areas.

The Teesdale Structure Plan is guided by six principles to deliver good planning outcomes for the township: residential development; transport and movement; open space and landscaping; community infrastructure and services; commercial development; and service provision.
