George Town Structure Plan
A Structure Plan is a long term framework to guide and shape future use and development for a defined spatial area.
Structure plans give effect to multiple policies and local governance, which may apply to a spatial area whilst providing for changing community needs.
They guide the changes to land use, built form and public spaces to achieve a place's economic, social and environmental objectives.
The George Town Council has committed to developing the Structure Plan, in line with its strategic objectives, with the purpose of:
- Strengthening identity, celebrating the attributes of this unique location and the opportunities this offers;
- Creating a pathway to shaping a place that its residents highly value;
- Building capacity to be responsive to economic growth; and
- Supporting capability to attract new residents, striving for 10,000 people in the municipality.
