What is a structure plan?
A structure plan is a document to manage the future of an area and provide focus and direction on matters such as:
- Preferred land use and the form of buildings
- Street plantings and landscaping
- Possible locations for new public open space
- Possible locations for new development and the acceptable parameters of development
- Prioritising pedestrian access and movement in the area
- Providing good access to public transport
- The Structure Plan will help Council manage change and implement effective planning controls under the Yarra Planning Scheme.
Where are the study area boundaries?
The structure plan focuses on Smith Street but include the area bounded by Napier Street in the west, Alexandra Parade in the north, Wellington Street in the east and Victoria Parade in the south (the study area).
Background information
- Public information meeting 22 October 2007
- Consultation meeting 26 February 2008
- Consultation meeting 1 May 2008
In addition to these meetings Council commissioned ARUP to undertake a transport study 
. The aim of the study was to identify a strategic transport framework for the entire study area and provide direction for pedestrian, cycle and transport related decisions.

Next steps
The Structure Plan will be used to guide Council in the consideration of planning applications for new development in the area. The Structure Plan will also be used to improve planning controls for the area, and recommendations regarding physical improvements (roads, footpaths, parks etc) will be considered as part of Council’s capital works planning.
Acknowledgements
Council would like to thank those who attended community meetings held in 2008, people who made submissions, the Stakeholder Committee members who guided the development of the Plan, and the Department of Planning and Community Development which helped fund the Plan through its “Creating Better Places” program.
