This is your opportunity to help shape the future vision, design, and development in Healesville Township and guide the outcomes of the Healesville Township Design Framework (TDF). This work builds on the previously adopted Healesville Structure Plan (2016) and will explore:
- Identifying issues and opportunities in Healesville Township
- Understanding what is valued by the community
- Developing a vision, establishing priorities and informing the plan for the future of Healesville Township
The TDF will build on what residents, businesses and visitors love about Healesville. It will provide guidelines, standards, and plans to help decision-making and could include things like transport, car parks, streetscapes, and recreational facilities. Ultimately, the Healesville TDF will ensure any new development celebrates the local character, foster places that community loves and achieves a functional, enjoyable, and attractive place to live, work and visit.
