Structure plans for the Omeo and Swifts Creek townships adopted at Council meeting.

The Omeo Structure Plan was adopted at the 17 September Council meeting. Minutes for the meeting can be found here. The adoption of the plan means it can now move to the implementation stage.

The Omeo Structure Plan was informed by findings outlined in the Omeo Structure Plan Background Report and by community feedback gathered through the development of the Omeo District Place Plan. Here is the engagement report providing an overview of the opportunities for community involvement and participation levels - Omeo Structure Plan Engagement Report.

Local knowledge gathered helped shape the goals and actions in the structure plans.

The Omeo Structure Plan proposes:

  • Changes to planning zones on specific parcels of land, to provide opportunity for residential development or to better align with current and historical uses.
  • Actions for further opportunities and advocacy relating to the following themes:
    • Housing
    • Local economy and land use
    • Landscape and environment
    • Urban design, build form and heritage
    • Movement and transport
    • Community infrastructure
    • Physical infrastructure

A structure plan is a long-term land use plan that provides guidance on managing and facilitating change within your town or area.
