SUMMARY

Over the last 12 years Council has adopted structure plans for its activity centres (Lilydale, Coldstream, Monbulk, Healesville, Mooroolbark) and an Urban Design Masterplan for Chirnside Park, which is similar in content to a structure plan.

The lifespan of a structure plan is approximately 20 years, which is the timespan a structure plan is expected to remain relevant, and provides enough time to implement actions within each plan.

A recent review of structure plan actions has identified that many actions have either been implemented or are out of date. 

This report outlines how actions within each structure plan have been rationalised and updated to improve their relevance and longevity, excluding the Lilydale Structure Plan that was adopted by Council earlier this year.

Should Council resolve to adopt the revised action lists, consistent with the recommendations of this report, it is intended that the revised lists will then form the basis of annual reporting to Council on status of action implementation.
