Submit Your Feedback on the Adopted Yarragon Township Plan, Urban Design Framework and Commercial Rezoning.
Baw Baw Shire Council is encouraging residents and businesses to have their say on the adopted Yarragon Township Plan (Plan), Urban Design Framework (UDF) and commercial rezoning during an additional two-week consultation period.
The Plan and UDF were developed following thorough background research, analysis and community consultation during 2022. The community consultation included the opportunity to provide feedback via online surveys, meetings with community groups and face-to-face discussions at a number of community information sessions held at the Yarragon Community Craft and Produce Markets and at the Yarragon Public Hall.
The Plan provides a long-term strategic vision for Yarragon as well as a clear planning framework for future development of the town. It includes prioritised strategies to support and enhance the character of the Yarragon township and guide sustainable growth over the coming decades.
The UDF, which accompanies the Plan, takes a more detailed look at the town centre, including the commercial and industrial areas to provide specific design and public realm guidelines. The UDF will help guide the future urban form of the town centre providing greater certainty to the local community and commercial stakeholders.
Both the Plan and UDF were adopted by Council on 8 November 2023.
The additional online consultation period offers the community another chance to share feedback. It will run for two weeks before the matter is brought back to the May Council meeting for a decision on whether an Amendment will formally be sent to the Minister. If Council decides to send the Amendment to the Minister, there will be another round of community consultation, as required under the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
All feedback must be provided in writing and will be considered by Council.
Feedback should be submitted in writing to Strategic.Planning@bawbawshire.vic.gov.au
This consultation opportunity is open until 5pm Sunday 26 April 2026
