Surf Coast Shire Council is launching a second round of community consultation to help finalise its draft Urban Futures Strategy which will guide urban growth across the shire during coming decades.
Council resolved at its June meeting to endorse the draft strategy and put it out for community consultation from 1 July to 26 August.
When finalised the strategy will establish a clear policy framework to guide sustainable urban growth within Surf Coast Shire and guide future land use planning at the township and precinct level. It considers a range of constraints, including the need to protect natural environments and significant landscapes.
In responding to forecast population growth to 2051, the strategy recommends and prioritises strategic work to ensure an adequate supply of land to meet future housing and employment needs.
