The plan

We are currently developing the Goornong Structure Plan.

The Structure Plan will:

  • Detail a long term vision for how to guide change in Goornong over the next 25 years
  • Consider the needs of the community
  • Identify what growth opportunities exist
  • Recommend facilities, services and infrastructure to support that growth
  • Respect the existing character and qualities of the town

The Structure Plan needs input from the community and many background documents. We've recently been working on:

Wastewater Options

Goornong currently uses on-site septic systems to manage wastewater. We are currently investigating future wastewater options for the town.

Flood Study

The City has been successful with a funding application to complete a Goornong Flood Study. This study will inform the Structure Plan. The flood study will commence in early 2025 and may take 1 – 2 years to complete.

Managed Growth Strategy

The Managed Growth Strategy a framework for future housing growth and neighbourhood character in Greater Bendigo. We have also recently started a review of rural areas. The Goornong Structure Plan will relate to both of these projects.
