Maffra Structure Plan (2022, Amended 2025)

Year Approved: 2022 (amended 2025)  

The Maffra Structure Plan provides a long-term strategic vision to guide the future growth of the town and a clear and rational planning framework that ensures growth and development occurs in appropriate locations and in a coordinated way over the next 20 years.  

In particular, the Maffra Structure Plan:

• helps influence, manage and facilitate change to land uses, the built form and public spaces in accordance with relevant state, regional and local planning policy;
• assesses the suitability and proposed locations of future residential growth;
• identifies the key infrastructure required to facilitate future growth;
• identifies land for future commercial, industrial and community services and facilities to support growth; and
• guides future residential land use and development.

The Maffra Structure Plan is being used as the basis to support formal changes to the Wellington Planning Scheme through revised planning provisions. This assists to facilitate the implementation of the Plan’s land use planning recommendations.
