Amendment C119 - Maddingley Framework Plan

Council has prepared Amendment C119moor to the Moorabool Planning Scheme.

The amendment introduces local policy and an associated framework plan which identifies potential future land uses in the Maddingley Framework Plan area (see map below), consistent with the recommendations of the Maddingley Planning Study (Centrum, October 2025)

The amendment provides justification to support and enable the future transition of undeveloped land to industrial purposes through proponent led rezoning in later phases.

These proposed local policy changes will provide: 

  • long-term guidance that supports the continuation of existing uses.
  • strategic support for the transition of the Maddingley Framework Plan area to industrial uses through future planning scheme amendments to rezone land.
