City of Stirling Corporate Business Plan

OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Objective: Create unique and liveable neighbourhoods and places

A liveable City

In the future, the City of Stirling will be known for its tree-lined streets, well-planned neighbourhoods and a network of vibrant local centres. It will be important to balance new development and accommodate growth while maintaining the character and heritage of our local areas. We will plan to maintain the amenity of these local areas, ensuring that they are thriving and liveable with a diverse range of housing. We will strategically plan for growth in activity centres and corridors to ensure our community has access to their daily needs close by.

Strategy: How will we get there? • Prioritise growth in local activity centres and corridors • Improve the quality, liveability, and identity for local areas • Facilitate diverse housing choice for our community.

Key informing frameworks and plans • Local Planning Strategy • Local Planning Schemes and Policies • Land Use Structure Plans • Heritage Management Strategy.
