Teesdale Structure Plan
Council wants to hear from the Teesdale community in order to assist in the development of a new Structure Plan.
About
Golden Plains Shire Council is working towards the preparation of a new Structure Plan for Teesdale and wishes to understand community preferences that may affect its content.
The Structure Plan preparation process will seek to:
- Review the existing 1997 Teesdale Structure Plan.
- Guide long term development in Teesdale.
- Review commercial development opportunities.
- Review the need for new community and development infrastructure, where not already considered in existing Council Strategies.
The Structure Plan is expected to be finalised in early 2020.
A background report has been developed to help to stimulate discussion and inform the development of the structure plan. The Background Report is available here.
