The Managed Growth Strategy establishes a long-term residential framework plan to outline how population and housing growth needs will be accommodated in Greater Bendigo to 2056.
The guiding principles of the Managed Growth Strategy are:
- Sustainability - Housing should be planned and designed to reduce its long-term environmental impact
- Safety - Housing should be directed to areas that have fewer environmental hazards
- Suitability - A diversity of housing should be delivered to meet different needs, be near services, be affordable and encourage quality of life
The Managed Growth Strategy has a focus on urban Bendigo and larger townships and will be complemented by a Rural Areas Strategy, a draft of which is expected in 2025.
