Strathbogie Shire Farming Zone Review

Strathbogie Shire Council has recently commenced a Farming Zone Review and has engaged Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake this review. The review will provide a clear vision and plan to support the sustainable use and management of the Shire’s rural areas, primarily through ensuring that the correct zones are in place.

The review has been prompted by the development of new rural zones by the State Government and this project will analyse the current application of the Farming Zone and determine any changes required (potential use of other rural zones) to achieve a sustainable future for the rural areas of the Shire.

A key component of the review is consultation with the community and agencies, with a series of sessions to be held throughout the Shire. The workshops will include a presentation of the issues as understood by the project team and will focus on engaging the community in one-on-one and small group discussions, to gather a complete understanding of the current and future issues affecting the rural areas of Strathbogie Shire.

The consultation outcomes will be combined with information gathered by the project team to date, in order to produce an Issues & Options Paper that will guide development of the Farming Zone Review Draft Report
