Strategic Planning (rezoning)
Strategic Planning involves setting the long-term vision for future use, development, protection and conservation of land. Council is responsible for developing strategies, plans and policies to reinforce this vision.
Strategic Planning ensures our community has a consistent and planned approach towards things such as housing, commercial and retail developments, neighbourhood character, amenity and heritage.
Strategic Planning also involves maintaining and updating the Gannawarra Planning Scheme.
