Looking to Healesville's Future
Looking to Healesville's Future
Do you have ideas, or concerns about Healesville and its future growth or changes?
Yarra Ranges Council is preparing a structure plan which will inform any changes to the planning scheme for the town and is looking for your input. As a first step, Council will release a discussion paper on February 4 which will be available online or from Healesville and Lilydale Community Links.
Yarra Ranges Councillor Fiona McAllister strongly encouraged residents and businesses to have their say.
“I want to hear from people about how Healesville should develop over the next 10 years for example, how many houses per block should we allow to be built, what size town do we want to have, how do we maintain what we love about Healesville but support appropriate growth.
“What do you think about open space, recreation opportunities, footpaths, pedestrian/bike/horse paths...this is the opportunity to tell us what you think,” she said.
The discussion paper is based on the themes of housing, business, heritage, built form and public spaces, natural environment, community facilities and services, physical infrastructure and transport and parking.The background information also includes statistics about Healesville’s population, age, households, education and employment.
The discussion paper aims to inform the conversation about the structure plan and stimulate discussion.
An online discussion is also part of Council’s consultation. To join the online discussion visit http://yarrarangesviews.com.au/healesville-have-your-say
You can make comments about the discussion paper until Monday 18 March.
