Daylesford Gets New Planning Protection

(9/5/05) “Daylesford’s unique neighbourhood character will be protected”

Minister for Planning Rob Hulls announced last Wednesday that Daylesford will get new planning provisions to protect neighbourhood character.  In his press release, the Minister said “…the measures would ensure residential development in Daylesford was in keeping with community expectations about what was and wasn’t appropriate for the area.”    Note:  Macedon Ranges has yet to undertake landscape and neighbourhood character studies.  The amount of work still to be done in Macedon Ranges is one of the reasons why we are asking the State government for help.
