Stawell

Town Plan
A Vision for the Future

Community Bulletin #1
May 2020

What is the project?

Council is undertaking an important project
to achieve the long term strategic vision to
make Stawell a better place to live, work,
invest and visit.
The project will guide the preferred
location, type and use of new development
in Stawell, to accommodate population and
economic growth for the next 20-30 years.
Improvements to streets and roads for all
transport modes, including walking and
cycling will be a key consideration. The
project will also identify opportunities for
potential new public open spaces and
community facilities.
The project will also provide guidance to
enhance the arrival experience into Stawell
along the Western Highway to attract
visitors to stay and spend in the town.

What areas does the project

cover?
The study area is the main settlement
area of the town including key land use
areas such as the Stawell Gold Mine and
Airport. The project will also explore in
more detail private and public land along
the Western Highway between Playford
Street and Sloane Street. A key area will
include the Seaby Street intersection as
the main route into the town centre from
the Highway.
