The review is an audit of the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme. All Councils are required to regularly review their Planning Schemes to ensure they are up-to-date and provide clear and relevant guidance for the community, developers and planners.
It provides a strategic basis for planning the future use and development of land within the Rural Living Zone (RLZ) and for managing different areas of RLZ land across the shire. The key objective of the Strategy is to provide for a finite 30 year supply of RLZ land across the shire.
The Rural Land Use Strategy will identify and address existing and emerging rural land use planning issues and opportunities, and set a new direction to ensure the protection of our important farming and rural conservation areas.
The Industrial Design Guidelines (Amendment C71) must be considered when developing industrial or commercial land.
Macedon Ranges has long been recognised as having a number of distinctive attributes and dominant features in our landscape. The Statement of Planning Policy provides a framework to ensure the Macedon Ranges are protected, conserved and enhanced.
The Landscape Assessment Study ensures natural and cultural landscapes of the Macedon Ranges are conserved and enhanced.
