West Tamar Growth Strategy Workshop - Exeter

West Tamar Council is currently embarking on the first Growth Strategy for the region and we need your input!

The purpose of the Strategy is to enable sustainable growth over the next 30 years and beyond. The Strategy will develop a ‘roadmap’ for managing growth while balancing the protection of natural spaces and the places that make West Tamar an amazing place to live, work and invest.

SGS Economics and Planning have been engaged by Council to assist with developing the strategy.

The Strategy will consider where and how the municipality should accommodate growth and the infrastructure and community services needed to support this growth. Several growth scenarios will be investigated and consulted with the community. Community and stakeholder feedback and technical analysis of each growth scenario is key in determining a preferred growth scenario for the West Tamar municipality.

The Strategy will give Council a clear strategic direction on future growth, and will also assist developers, landowners, planning consultants and Council in preparing and assessing Scheme Amendment proposals for the rezoning of land.

Community consultation in the form of workshops, a survey and general request for feedback is coming soon. Look out for further communications about this project on this webpage, via social media, the Beacon and various other media outlets.

A series of workshops will be held to hear your views about how the West Tamar should grow.
