Visit from MAS Planning Unit
Newstead community representatives Helen Watters, Don Culvenor and Geoff Park were pleased to host a visit from the Mount Alexander Shire Planning Unit today. The purpose of the visit was to look at current initiatives – for example the RTC, HMAS Bell, community garden and Recreation Reserve, but also at sites where development was proposed according to the Newstead Framework Plan (part of the 2004 Urban Living Strategy). The visit provided an excellent opportunity for us to better understand the MAS planning approach and to share information and ideas about current and future projects. It is always pleasing to see our Local Government officers taking the time to understand issues and needs of the smaller towns across the Shire.
The visit concluded with refreshments at Dig Cafe.

Any chance of seeing the Newstead Framework Plan of yesteryear, or at least a summary of it, on this site?
Not sure what was included in it and whether council just plans to resume with it as it exists.
