Wellington Shire Council is inviting the community to participate in a second round of community consultation for the Stratford Structure Plan. Following the first sessions held in March 2025, council is eager to continue its collaborative efforts with the community to shape the future of Stratford.

Have your say in shaping Stratford's future! The Structure Plan will guide growth, housing, infrastructure, and development over the next 20 years

The Plan will define a settlement boundary to consolidate growth while protecting valued land, assess suitable locations for future residential development, and identify the key infrastructure required to support the town's long-term sustainability. Once finalised, the Structure Plan will inform changes to the Wellington Planning Scheme, helping to guide future growth and development in a way that reflects the community's priorities.

During the second round of consultations, council officers will confirm the key issues and opportunities raised during the last round of engagement to ensure feedback has been accurately captured, share a draft option for the Stratford Structure Plan and ask attendees to raise any ideas or issues that have not been mentioned before.

The consultation sessions will be held on Wednesday 28 May from 1pm to 2pm and from 6.30pm to 7.30pm at Stratford Recreational Reserve. For more information, phone council's strategic planning team on 1300 366 244.
