Preparation of the Rockbank North Major Town Centre Urban Design Framework underway

Echelon Planning and UrbanFold have been engaged by Melton City Council to work collaboratively with Council and landowners to prepare the Rockbank North Major Town Centre Urban Design Framework. The Major Activity Centre is within the Rockbank North PSP area which has been under development for close to ten years and is now home to residents within the suburb who will have a keen interest in the planning for their Major Town Centre. The PSP sets out that the Town Centre will accommodate significant retail, along with a mix of other uses including commercial, civic, community, entertainment, employment, residential and recreation, which will service the needs of the growing community in Aintree and future communities to the north and west of the PSP area. The Urban Design Framework will set out a clear vision for the Rockbank North Major Town Centre and guide its use and development over time. It will deliver planning and urban design policies and principles that will guide landowners/developers in preparing plans and enable Council to assess planning permit applications within a clear framework.
