The Glenlyon township structure plan seeks to protect and enhance the existing character of the township, guiding appropriate growth and development by providing a planning framework for future private land use. It aims to protect what we value, improve future livability, empowering the Glenlyon community to thrive.

Building on the engagement findings during the initial engagement phase, the Glenlyon Township Community Panel worked together to develop a shared vision and the key objectives across the six key themes of the structure plan - housing, business and economy, environment and heritage, urban design, movement and access, community and cultural infrastructure. This work has served as the foundation for the development of the draft structure plan.

You can learn more about the Glenlyon draft structure plan and participate by:

• Reading the resources provided in the Document library on this project page.
• Attend the Glenlyon Community Information Session. The session will include general information about the Glenlyon draft Structure Plan, an opportunity to speak with staff directly and a Structure Plan Introduction presentation.
• An online webinar. These sessions will be similar to those presented at the Community Information Sessions. These will be recorded and made available for future viewing on this project page.
• Make a submission. These can be made both online and by mail. Submissions will be open during May and June 2024.

Please note we are currently confirming the dates and other details for the community engagement activities listed above and will update the Glenlyon community as soon as possible.

Your feedback on the draft township structure plan will be collated and considered. An Engagement Summary Report will summarise the feedback and Council's response. Council will consider the final draft, inclusive of any feedback, before proceeding to adoption later in 2024.

A planning scheme amendment is required to give effect to the strategic directions within the structure plan. This process will involve an additional phase of community engagement and further submission opportunities.

We encourage you to register for Council's e-newsletter Hepburn Life to receive updates on these activities.
