West Wimmera Shire Council (WWSC) is reviewing planning policy settings for the towns of Apsley, Edenhope, Goroke, Harrow, and Kaniva. This work is part of the broader West Wimmera Planning Scheme Review and aims to support the future development, character, and services of our small towns.
What is the Small Towns Plan?
The Small Towns Plan will identify opportunities specific to each town, acknowledging and building on their unique attributes. This will help guide future planning and development decisions to ensure our small towns remain vibrant, liveable, and well-serviced into the future.
The plan will:
-
Build on the individual strengths of Apsley, Edenhope, Goroke, Harrow, and Kaniva.
-
Identify opportunities to improve liveability and support local services.
-
Guide future planning policy and infrastructure investment.
-
Support sustainable growth that reflects each town’s character and needs.
The first step in developing the plan is gathering community input.
