August 8th, 2024Gisborne plan protects landscape from outward growth

The Macedon Shire Council has rubber-stamped a new plan that sets a protected settlement boundary and will be used to guide Gisborne’s development until 2050.

At its July meeting held last week the council endorsed the new Gisborne Futures Structure Plan that
will set a protected settlement boundary to protect the surrounding landscape from further outward
growth.

The newly endorsed plan was developed following extensive planning and consultation over six years.

A total of 129 submissions were received and considered during the most recent consultation period for the
revised plan in late 2023.

The council will now write to the Minister for Planning to request an amendment be prepared for the
protected settlement boundary as indicated in the plan.
