Draft ‘Hawkesbury Place Plans’ – Public Exhibition

24 May 2023

Council is inviting community members to view and comment on a series of Draft Place Plans, which is now on public exhibition at yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au until Wednesday, 21 June 2023.

The series of Draft Place Plans has been created for towns and villages across the Hawkesbury to develop and celebrate the unique local characteristics of each place as well as provide a vision document to assist in applying for future grants.

A place plan is a long-term plan that provides a road map to guide future planning in local centres. The Plans will aim to improve the sense of place, ensure local business has the conditions to thrive, and to create a place that instils pride in the community.

The Draft Hawkesbury Place Plans has been prepared based on the outcomes of the community engagement in accordance with the Community Engagement Policy.

A copy of the Draft Place Plans can also be viewed at:
