Consultation has concluded

On Wednesday 17 May 2022, Council Adopted the Mansfield Planning Strategy. Future strategic work will be undertaken to formally implement the strategy into the Mansfield Planning Scheme.

The Mansfield Planning Strategy sets out land use and development priorities for the Shire, to 2040. It provides a framework for responding to population growth and change. It also considers how to protect and enhance valued economic, environmental, local character and landscape features associated with the Shire’s towns and settlements.

This Strategy sets out a framework for Council to prioritise planning actions to delivery infrastructure over the long-term. The purpose is to:

  • Facilitate orderly development of urban land uses
  • Protect areas of agricultural productivity
  • Identify the need for additional infrastructure to service evolving communities
  • Enable change that appropriately responds to the character and quality that distinguish each of the municipality’s townships and settlements.

Included in the Strategy is a framework for land use to:

  • Respond to changing needs of residents
  • Ensure land is developed in an orderly and appropriate manner
  • Adapt to challenges brought about by growth and environmental pressures (e.g., bushfires or floods)
