Amendment C110—Exhibition, Hearing and Panel Report
Council adoption of Amendment C110
The In the Rural Living Zone Strategy provides a strategic basis for planning the future use and development of land within the Zone and for managing different areas of rural living zoned land across the shire. The key objective of the Strategy is to provide for a finite 30 years supply of rural living zoned land across the shire.
A draft version of the strategy was exhibited in November and December 2014 and received over 80 submissions. It analysed the supply of and demand for land in the Rural Living Zone across the shire and indicated ways Council can meet the desired level of land supply into the future. The final version of the strategy and its accompanying Background and Strategic Recommendations Context Report were adopted at the 23 September 2015 Council meeting with some changes.
Planning Scheme Amendment C110, which implements the strategy into the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme, has been approved by the Minister for Planning and was gazetted on 27 April 2017.
Amendment C110 has been prepared to implement the recommendations of the In the Rural Living Zone strategy.
The amendment was on public exhibition in November and December 2015. Council considered the submissions received and referred the unresolved submission to an independent panel for review.
The Panel held a Directions Hearing on 22 March 2016 and the full Panel Hearings took place on 18, 19, 20, 22, 26 and 27 April 2016.
The Panel Report was provided to Council on 17 June 2016 and concludes that the Amendment is strategically justified in part and should be adopted subject to changes.
