Future Hepburn Document Library
During the development of the Future Hepburn projects a number of technical studies and reviews were undertaken. These technical studies, along with past community engagement projects and current Council strategic documents informed the draft township structure plans and the Rural Hepburn strategy. This library has been organised into the following sections:
- Relevant current Council strategies
- Technical Studies relevant to the whole of the Shire
- Other reference documents developed by third parties that have been referenced through this work
- Future Hepburn Background Reports
- Technical Studies sorted by townships of Clunes, Creswick, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, Glenlyon and Trentham
The draft township structure plans, engagement plans, and other supporting engagement documents can be found on the individual project pages for the Township Structure Plans, Rural Hepburn and the Integrated Transport Strategy.
Current Shire Strategies and other documents
These strategies directly relate to the Future Hepburn projects. The engagement and strategies from these projects were shared with consultants.
