Landscape Assessment Study

Consultation has concluded

Mitchell Shire’s landscapes are unique and diverse. They include rolling hills, river valleys, foothills, granitic uplands, volcanic plains and cones.

To protect our most valued landscapes the Significant Landscape Overlay (SLO) is proposed to be applied to land in Pyalong, Tooborac, Glenhope and Highcamp area and Mt Piper. The existing Significant Landscape Overlay in Tallarook is proposed to be extended into Trawool.

Submissions to the Landscape Assessment Study closed on 15 December 2023.

April 2024 Update

Please download the April 2024 Information Sheet for an update on submissions received, response to submissions and next steps for the project. Updates to the Significant Landscape Overlay planning provisions are also available for download.

Council Officers will be available to discuss the response to submissions to the Landscape Assessment Study and next steps for the project at a drop-in session in Pyalong:

4-6pm Tuesday 16 April 2024, Pyalong Recreation Hall, Northern Highway, Pyalong

This will be the final drop-in session before Council considers adoption of the Landscape Assessment Study at a future Ordinary Council Meeting.
