Neighbourhood Character Study Broadford

CLOSED: This round of consultation has now closed. For more information on this project please contact Council's Strategic Planning team on 5734 6200.

Mitchell Shire Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Character Study for Broadford.

About the Character Study

Broadford is a peri-urban town and is going to see some change in its neighbourhoods in the coming years.

To ensure this new development recognises and responds to the key characteristics and attributes of the town, Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Character Study.

The study aims to identify the key valued features of residential neighbourhoods in Broadford, and develop Neighbourhood Character Statements describing the existing and preferred neighbourhood character across distinct precincts within the town.

These Neighbourhood Character statements will inform future planning policies which will be used to determine the planning applications about new development and how it responds to the key elements of the neighbourhood. A future Planning Scheme Amendment will be needed to introduce the planning policy.

In this first phase of community engagement, we are gathering information so we can understand what our community values about their neighbourhoods and what kind of housing they will need in the future.
