Shape Albany Highway
Stage 3: Draft Precinct Structure Plan
The Albany Highway Precinct Structure Plan is here!
After years of community engagement, precinct planning and hard work, the Town is proud to present our draft plans that will guide future development of the iconic Albany Highway strip.
The Albany Highway Precinct Structure Plan will support new development and growth of the precinct as a distinct, sustainable, and vibrant place, with a strong local focus and regional appeal.
The objectives of the precinct structure plan aim to enhance local ecology, expand public open space, improve walkability, support active transport, and encourage innovative and sustainable development that complements the precinct’s existing character.
Feedback on the draft precinct structure plan is invited from all community members until 19 December 2024.
