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

About the Character Study

Kilmore is a large peri-urban town that is experiencing significant residential growth.

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 Kilmore, 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.

How to get involved

Round One consultation is now closed. Council are preparing a Draft Neighbourhood Character Study that will go on public consultation late 2024.
