Town Planning is about people and the community and aims to maintain and improve our quality of life. Council takes a great deal of care in planning our community and, through our Planning Scheme, we aim to create a high quality town and rural environment.
While all communities are made up of individuals with different tastes, needs and lifestyles, some values are common to all. One of the main functions of effective Town Planning is to ensure that development and land use proposals are appropriate for the area now and into the future.
