Moorabool residents are encouraged to take part in community consultations for the Bacchus Marsh Town Centre Structure Plan.
The plan sets out a framework for land use, development, and design of public and private spaces over the next 15 years.
This includes bolstering the economic hub of the main street and side streets to attract commercial use and supply the needs of the wider regional community.
Locals can contribute to the strategic vision, which aims to strengthen the role of the town centre as the primary civic, employment and retail precinct in Moorabool.
According to council, the purpose of the plan is to deliver on community objectives of sustainability, vibrancy, accessibility while retaining the rural charm and history of Bacchus Marsh.
Positive outcomes for residents are also prioritised, with convenient public transport, parking options, safe walking and cycling infrastructure, and maintenance of parks all a focus.
Feedback from the 2023 consultation highlighted the need for a ‘nice place to spend time’ and a place that was ‘easy to get around safely’ as important in the structure plan.
Once this round of consultations are complete, the final structure plan will be adopted.
The consultations close Sunday August 11.
