Provide input on proposed update to planning scheme
Published on 05 March 2024
Council is updating its heritage overlay maps in Maldon to make sure they’re current, accurate and fit for purpose.
This work involves making changes to the Mount Alexander Planning Scheme.
Referred to as Amendment C99malx, the changes propose to improve the planning scheme by:
- Ensuring heritage overlay maps are current and up-to-date.
- Accurately reflecting the existing use and conditions of the land.
- Reflecting State Government requirements.

The amendment will impact ten properties in Maldon, and guide the way land in that area can be used or developed in the future.
Community members can find out more about the proposed amendment by visiting www.shape.mountalexander.vic.gov.au from Wednesday 6 March.
