Overview of Strategy

The purpose of the Growth Management Strategy ('Strategy') is to develop a long-term framework to direct and manage future urban growth, with a focus on the role and growth potential of Wellington's six main urban centres:

• Sale/Wurruk/Longford
• Maffra
• Stratford
• Heyfield
• Rosedale
• Yarram

The Strategy does not rezone land, but instead identifies preferred strategic directions and township roles to meet long-term growth needs. The Strategy identifies priority economic development opportunities across Wellington to support future job creation and investment. ‘As a whole’ the Strategy will provide Council, relevant agencies, investors and the community with clear strategic direction supporting long term urban and economic growth.
