Castlemaine Railway Precinct Masterplan
A masterplan is a dynamic long-term planning document that provides a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development. Master planning is about making the connection between buildings, social settings, and their surrounding environments.
The masterplan for Castlemaine Railway Precinct 2023 is a long-term, high-level document that will:
- guide land activation and development in and around the area
- include a road map to implementation
- provide advice on next steps for Council, the State Government and potential developers and tenants.
Council adopted the Masterplan in its December 2023 meeting.
Visit the project's page on Shape Mount Alexander for more information, including the draft masterplan and issues and opportunities paper.
