What is the difference between the Skylands Masterplan and the Droughty Peninsula Structure Plan?
The Skylands Masterplan provides the visions and principles to guide the future development on Droughty Peninsula.
The Droughty Peninsula structure plan is where council will focus on the practical implementation of the vision, to ensure – a desirable urban form, a legible and connected movement network, provision for an appropriate range of, open spaces, recreation, commercial and community facilities, all set to a logical staging program. A key focus of the structure plan will be to develop the implementation framework for the 30-year lifespan of the project.
What is the process from here?
We will now develop a structure plan for the staged development of land on the Droughty Peninsula that includes a broader area than the Skylands Masterplan, with the layout and underlying concepts based on the Skylands Masterplan.
How can I have my say?
During the structure plan development, we will be running a community consultation process with opportunities for people to get involved and share your opinions and ideas, following a very similar approach successfully used for other large consultations.
We will allow sufficient time for people to provide a response and will be accepting feedback through a number of different ways, including an online survey, display at Council Chambers, and written submissions to engage and involve the whole community.
In accordance with statutory requirements, there will also be further opportunities for the community to participate during the scheme amendment and subdivision application processes.
