September 6th, 2024Macedon Ranges lodges Plan for Victoria submission

The Macedon Ranges status as a declared distinctive area and landscape is among key aspects contained in the shire’s submission to the state government’s Plan for Victoria.

At its August scheduled meeting held last week the council endorsed its submission to the Victorian Government’s Plan for Victoria proposal, relating to a new land use strategy that will guide how Victoria grows and develops in the period to 2050.

The council’s submission outlines how the Plan should support the Macedon Ranges community, economy, environment and landscape.

In its submissions the council reinforces that Plan for Victoria must have regard for the Macedon Ranges’ status as a declared distinctive area and landscape and ensure the continued implementation of the Macedon Ranges Statement of Planning Policy.

The council’s submission also references the importance of its priority projects, Climate Emergency Plan (2023-2030) and other recently endorsed key township plans, including the Riddells Creek Movement Network Plan (2024-2033), Kyneton Movement Network Plan (2024-2033), Gisborne Futures Structure Plan (July 2024) and Romsey Structure Plan (May 2024).
