Have your say on Planning Scheme Amendment C120well

What is Planning Scheme Amendment C120well?

Planning Scheme Amendment C120well proposes to translate the adopted Maffra Structure Plan (Mesh 2022) into the Wellington Planning Scheme. It provides direction for potential future residential growth areas, commercial, and industrial development translated through updated planning policy.

The amendment supports the long-term growth of Maffra and acknowledges its role as the second largest township within the Wellington Shire by:

• Introducing policy, which guides the growth of Maffra to 2042.
• Rezoning existing residential land in Maffra to a new 'Maffra-specific' Schedule to the General Residential Zone Schedule 2 (Maffra Residential Area) (GRZ2).
• Updating the Development Plan Overlay - Schedule 1 (DPO1) (which applies to land across Wellington Shire).
• Correcting policy neutral zone and overlay anomalies.
• Adding future projects (potential Planning Scheme Amendments identified within the Implementation Plan in the Maffra Structure Plan) to Clause 74.02 - Further Strategic Work.
