About the Plan

The Structure Plan is a strategic document used to manage, influence and facilitate change in the Activity Centre.

The plan provides a framework for future land use and development. It was embedded into the planning scheme in May 2018 (through the approval of Amendment C149).

Council’s aspirations for Knox Central include:

  • Supporting the creation of an attractive centre with strong connections to the natural environment.
  • The rejuvenation of Lewis Park and Blind Creek. This includes improving integration with adjoining areas, providing valuable access to open space networks for the community.
  • Achieving high quality built form in the public realm.
  • Enhancing Knox Central’s role as the civic and public heart of the municipality, where communities connect and congregate.
  • Creating new and improved civic spaces.
  • Creating a range of opportunities for people to live in Knox Central close to:
    • shops
    • transport
    • leisure activities
    • open space
