This consultation has concluded.

The consultation period for NEW planning options for Blaxland finished on 9 December 2020. Thank you to all those who completed our survey.

The Blaxland Masterplan captured the community-endorsed future vision for the town... 

vibrant, distinctive and welcoming with a town centre that retains and enhances its varied services, facilities and activities. Above all - a hub for the local community.

To achieve this vision, Council is developing new planning controls for Blaxland, to encourage revitalisation in the town centre and improve public access. 

We will come back to you once community feedback has been analysed.

    As a key part of its community consultation for the early stages of the Masterplanning for Blaxland, Council held a community workshop in the Sharon Burridge Hall at the Lower Mountains Community facilities on Saturday 26 November. Around 130 people attended on the day, using a drop-in session format.

    Council provided summaries of background studies including Property, Retail, Traffic and Parking and Urban Design Analysis.

    Participants were then able to comment on Blaxland town centre -“the bad bits”

    Town Centre “good bits”


    And then identify what they saw as “opportunities”

    They were also asked where they did their shopping


    People were also asked what their “vision for Blaxland town centre” was


    And there was a “Kid’s Vision”

    Council staff are currently reviewing and summarising comments so that a range of options can be developed. Staff have also distributed a survey questionnaire that can be accessed on the Blaxland Have Your Say website.

      In preparation for community consultation, Council has commissioned a number of consultant studies to inform the process. These studies will provide a snapshot of the current status of urban elements/ infrastructure, retail and property markets, transport services (including traffic and parking) and a general review of planning attributes.

      Copies of these studies will be available on the website in December 2016.
