Public Feedback Invited on Strategic Housing Implementation Plan
Published on 27 February 2025
An important strategic plan providing a framework for infrastructure planning, growth area master planning and development feasibility in Leeton Shire is now available for comment following endorsement by Council at the February Ordinary Council meeting.
The DRAFT Leeton Housing Strategy Implementation Plan (HSIP) aims to investigate the development and infrastructure requirements for growth areas identified in the Leeton Housing Strategy (adopted in June 2024). These growth areas are located in Leeton and Yanco where the mainstay of housing growth is projected to occur.
The HSIP will be used by Council and other servicing agencies to forward plan services and infrastructure at a number of priority Growth Areas identified in the Leeton Housing Strategy, according to Manager Planning, Building & Health, Francois Van Der Berg.
“The Implementation Plan will benefit affected landowners and their technical advisors on future development options in proposed growth areas over the next 15 to 20 years.
“The Plan will also provide clear direction to the wider community on the key investments required to encourage the growth and development of a variety of new housing projects in Leeton Shire,” said Mr Van Der Berg.
The HSIP can be viewed on Council’s website.
Hard copies are available for viewing by the public at the Council administration office, Leeton Shire Library, Yanco Shop and Murrami and Whitton Post Offices.
The community is encouraged to provide feedback on the draft plan during the exhibition period in any of the following ways:
Submissions must be received by Council by 5pm, Friday, 28 March 2025.
