Moorabool and Melton councils preside over rapidly developing communities, and are inviting their communities to provide input on changing town centres.
Moorabool council are seeking input from the community on their long-term vision for Bacchus Marsh Town Centre.
The current Bacchus Marsh Structure Plan was incorporated into the Moorabool Planning Scheme in 2016.
Council said since that time, Bacchus Marsh has undergone significant growth and change and will continue to face new challenges into the future.
Because of this council is starting work on a new Structure Plan for the Town Centre that aims to build on and protect what is valued in Bacchus Marsh Town Centre, and meet the evolving needs of residents, businesses and visitors.
Community input can be delivered at two drop-in sessions in the James Young Room of the Lerderderg Library.
Sessions are on Thursday, February 16, 4-6pm, and Friday, February 17, noon-2pm.
Input can also be provided online until March 3.
Melton council are also still seeking community input on their Melton Town Centre Revitalisation plan.
Melton council released a discussion paper on the Revitalisation plan in January, and are seeking feedback on the discussion paper online.
Feedback will help inform the development of the draft Revitalisation Plan, which will outline a series of recommendations for consideration.
