The Maffra Structure Plan was adopted by Council on 17 May 2022.

The Maffra Structure Plan provides a long-term strategic vision to guide the future growth of the town and a clear planning framework that ensures growth and development occurs in appropriate locations and in a coordinated way over the next 20 years.

In particular, the Maffra Structure Plan:

• helps influence, manage and facilitate change to land uses, buildings and public spaces in accordance with relevant state, regional and local planning policy
• assesses the suitability and proposed locations of future residential growth
• identifies the key infrastructure required to provide future growth
• identifies land for future commercial, industrial and community services and facilities to support growth
• guides future residential land use and development

The Maffra Structure Plan will be used as the basis to support formal changes to the Wellington Planning Scheme through revised planning provisions, and to facilitate the implementation of the Plan's land use recommendations.
