Why is Gisborne Business Park now part of Gisborne Futures?

Last updated on 27 July 2020

Council has previously prepared a draft master plan for expansion of the Gisborne Business Park that included more land for industrial and commercial uses to support economic growth and jobs in Gisborne and across the shire.

The draft Business Park Development Plan was exhibited in February 2019. A number of submissions were made regarding traffic, township character, urban design, environmental conditions and the potential heritage values of Woiwurrung Cottage at 111 Saunders Road, New Gisborne. 

To strengthen integrated planning outcomes Council incorporated further work on the Gisborne Business Park expansion area into Gisborne Futures in December 2019.

Council will consider the Gisborne Business Park and as part of the implementation of Gisborne Futures project.
