The Alexandra East Development Plan (the Development Plan) has been enabled through funding from the Australian Government’s Housing Support Program to unlock residentially zoned land in Alexandra across multiple landholdings. Alexandra is identified as one of the key townships within Murrindindi Shire with significant capacity to accommodate future population and housing growth.
The Development Plan provides a strategic framework to guide the staged development of this land, improving coordination and providing greater certainty for the community and developers. It also replaces the previous Wattle Street Development Plan (2014), which did not progress due to fragmented land ownership and infrastructure constraints, by establishing a more coordinated and deliverable approach.
The Development Plan has been informed by extensive community engagement and consultation with relevant agencies and includes detailed consideration of drainage, road access, pathways, open space, lot diversity and bushfire safety, including input from the CFA.
