Future planning

Planning proposals

Planning proposals are ways of amending our planning rules to allow for a change to zone, height, or use of a property.

Areas for future development

The MidCoast region is set to experience significant residential and employment growth over the coming years. Find out more information about some large projects that are proposed in the MidCoast.

Future planning strategies

These establish our future direction on land use for the region, and includes our Local Strategic Planning Statement.

Midcoast logo

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live, the Gathang-speaking people and pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who now reside in the MidCoast Council area. We extend our respect to Elders past and present, and to all future cultural-knowledge holders.
