Strategic Planning Projects

Green Wedge Management Plan

The Shire is preparing a Green Wedge Management Plan that will recommend a range of strategies to protect the values of the Green Wedge area of the Peninsula for the long term.

Rye Township Plan

The Rye Township Plan will set out the long-term strategic vision for the town, providing a holistic view of the township including the foreshore, Point Nepean Road and commercial centre.

Dromana Township Plan

The Dromana Township Plan was adopted in 2018 and sets out the long-term strategic vision for the potential scale and form of buildings within the Dromana town centre and surrounding residential areas.

Tyabb Airfield Community Reference Group

The Tyabb airfield and the surrounding areas require careful planning to provide for the long-term operation of the airfield while protecting the safety and amenity of residents. The Tyabb Airfield Precinct Plan thus aims to achieve a “balanced, fair and sustainable co-existence” between airfield operations and the amenity of the local community.

Tootgarook Wetland Management Plan

The Tootgarook Wetland Management Plan was adopted in 2018 and is an environmental management plan that sets out a range of actions to protect and conserve the valued ecosystem of the Tootgarook Wetland as well as promote the area as an ecotourism destination.

Mornington Peninsula Activity Centres Strategy 2018

The strategy articulates the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council's vision for the Peninsula's activity centres, which seeks to maintain and enhance the existing activity centres hierarchy, and ensure that future development is appropriate to the character, role and function of each centre.

Mornington Peninsula Housing and Settlement Strategy 2017

The strategy articulates the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council's vision for the Peninsula's settlements, which seeks to manage the demand for housing and associated population growth in a way that recognises the special values of the Mornington Peninsula, supports the inclusiveness and liveability of the townships and villages, and enhances the health and wellbeing of the community.

Mornington Peninsula Industrial Areas Strategy 2018

The strategy articulates the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council's vision for the Peninsula's industrial areas, which seeks to ensure that the industrial areas provide an important base for economic activity, investment, employment, and a wide range of businesses while serving the local community and supporting the Peninsula's liveability.

Defining the Extent of Tootgarook Wetland

The Shire is working to define a reliable extent of the Tootgarook Wetland, introduce a buffer around it, and develop local guidelines and policies to manage land use and development within the buffer. It will then review the boundary and conditions of the existing Environmental Significance Overlay - Schedule 30 based on the newly defined extent.

Coastal Villages and Neighbourhoods Strategy

The Shire is developing a Coastal Villages and Neighbourhood Strategy that will provide design and character frameworks to guide public and private development’s response to threats of coastal erosion, flooding, sea level rise and storm surge over the next 15 to 20 years.
