About the review

The Draft Rural Land and Activities Review seeks to provide a vision for the future of rural land within the Shire, which is primarily within the Farming Zone. The draft review also provides high-level strategic direction and guidance for future strategic planning for the small townships of Pyalong, Tallarook, Tooborac and Waterford Park.

The Draft Rural Land and Activities Review has been informed by expert advice and community consultation.

An Issues and Opportunities Paper was exhibited to the community and State authorities from 30 July 2019 to 9 September 2019. A Community Liaison Group was endorsed by Council at its Ordinary Council Meeting held 21 October 2019 to provide ongoing community input.

Feedback received during the consultation period of the draft Rural Land Activities Review will help inform and guide the content of the final Rural Land and Activities Review that will form the basis of a future Planning Scheme Amendment.
