We’re reviewing the 2013 Precinct Structure Plan that guides development of Thurgoona Wirlinga to ensure the area is well-prepared for future growth.

Thurgoona Wirlinga was identified as a key growth area since the late 1970s. Its population has almost doubled in the last 10 years from 6,500 to 11,300 and is expected to increase to 50,000 people by 2070. This significant growth and change requires a robust Precinct Structure Plan with strategies that ensure new opportunities are leveraged and challenges overcome as the area continues to develop.

We’re into the next phase of the project and would like your feedback on the options we’re considering in updating the Precinct Structure Plan. We’ve listened carefully to your aspirations and concerns along with what you want to retain or see improved from the current 2013 Thurgoona Wirlinga Precinct Structure Plan. We've also considered the changes to planning policies and technical investigations (e.g. Biodiversity Assessment) which underpin the Structure Plan.

We’ve prepared a Discussion Paper which outlines a number of new strategies for how we want the Thurgoona Wirlinga area to develop. This includes matters that need to be considered in subdivision and development proposals, as well as planning our infrastructure needs.

Consultation on the Discussion Paper closed on Sunday 21 April. This feedback will be used to shape an update of the Thurgoona Wirlinga Precinct Structure Plan.

Physical copies of the Discussion Paper are available for you to read at:

• Albury Library Museum (540 Kiewa Street)
• Lavington Library (366 Griffith Road)
• Customer Service Centre (553 Kiewa Street)

This video (one hour long) will help you understand the most important information contained in the Discussion Paper. The video is a recording of the project team outlining the insights and ideas behind how we developed the updated strategies.

This survey will take between 10 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on how many questions you choose to answer. You can skip questions so that you can comment on those of most importance to you.

For best viewing of maps and images we recommend using a computer (not a mobile phone).
