Wallan Station Street Masterplan
Mitchell Shire Council is preparing a Masterplan and Infrastructure Framework for the Wallan Station Street Precinct. A concept design for the Railway Station has also been prepared for advocacy purposes.
We're calling on submissions for our draft Wallan Station Street Masterplan and Infrastructure Framework - which is now available to read.
Last year, we prepared a concept design for the Railway Station area to begin our advocacy work - as we can't do it alone.
We are now at a stage of the project where we would like to have an initial consultation with landowners and residents.
The main purpose of this initial consultation is to test the ideas and vision that we have in the current draft document and to encourage you to think about the future development of the precinct and how we can collectively deliver on the vision.

Wallan Station Street Precinct Masterplan and Infrastructure Framework
Mitchell Shire Council has commenced work on the Wallan Station Street Masterplan and Infrastructure Framework. With prime access to the railway station, there are opportunities to leverage investment and transport improvements that will drive the growth of Wallan and the northern region.
There are a number of sub-precincts under discussion, from a higher density mixed-use precinct in the south to a medium and low-density residential precinct further north.
We are currently undertaking early consultation with landowners in this precinct. This Masterplan will deliver a vision for the transformation of the precinct, as it will play a pivotal role in the realisation of the development of the greater Wallan East Precinct.
Consultation under COVID-19 restrictions
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we’re may be unable to hold face-to-face drop-in sessions at this time.

Wallan Railway Station Concept Design
The Wallan Railway Station is located near the Wallan East Precinct (to the east), the Station Street Precinct (to the west), Wallara Waters (to the south-west) and land to the south-east which is earmarked for future development.
We're creating a concept design to understand how residents use public transport and what the community expects of the station itself.
This concept design will be used to advocate on behalf of our community to the State Government.
