FAQs

The Mansfield Station Precinct Masterplan is a strategic plan aimed at guiding the future development of the area surrounding the Mansfield Station Precinct. It seeks to create a vibrant public open space that contributes to the local community and Mansfield Township as a whole while addressing land use, built form, movement, access, character, and public realm within the Precinct.

The community has raised concerns about the existing masterplan, particularly that it does not reflect the new buildings on the site and that there are additional features they would like to see. The revision process aims to address these concerns and ensure that the masterplan reflects the community's needs and aspirations.

There are several ways to get involved in the engagement process, including participating in online feedback platforms, attending public meetings, joining site walks with council officers, and providing feedback through letters or emails. Keep an eye on the council's website and social media channels for updates on engagement opportunities.

The engagement process will last for one month, starting in May 2023, with an additional round of engagement to take place a month after the first.

All feedback collected during the engagement process will be carefully analysed and considered when revising the masterplan. Common themes, suggestions, and areas of concern will be identified, and changes will be made to the masterplan accordingly to address the community's input.

The revised masterplan is expected to be released in July 2023, following the analysis of feedback and incorporation of changes based on community input.

Yes, after the revised masterplan is released, there will be another engagement period where the community can provide further feedback to ensure the masterplan aligns with their expectations.

Once the final masterplan has been approved by the council, an implementation plan will be established. This plan will outline the actions required to facilitate the realization of the masterplan, including necessary zoning changes, infrastructure investments, and partnerships with private developers and government agencies.
