Read the full draft Housing and Neighbourhood Character Strategy
The population of Mount Alexander Shire is growing and a strategic approach towards housing is needed. We are working to make sure any new housing meets the population's diverse range of needs and is in the right location. We must also consider heritage values, neighbourhood character and environmental features (including the natural environment and biodiversity, and key risks such as bushfire). All of this and more is being considered as we develop a housing strategy for Chewton, Castlemaine and Campbells Creek.
Over 100 people took part in our second stage of consultation in 2023. For a summary of the key messages we heard, check out our consultation summary report.
