Miners Rest Outline Development Plan and Amendment C127

Miners Rest Outline Development Plan

The chief purpose of an Outline Development Plan (ODP) is to establish a clear direction for the future development and improvement of the area that it covers. An ODP does this through the:

• use of maps and plans that show those areas where development is preferred and areas that need special management or protection
• preparation of written supporting policies and development incentives

The City of Ballarat appointed THA Landscape Architects Pty Ltd, ASR Research Pty Ltd and Ross J Goyne Consulting Pty Ltd, to prepare a new ODP for the Miners Rest township and environs. An ODP was initially prepared for the township in 1994. There have been a number of significant changes within Miners Rest in the 12 years since the original ODP was prepared.

To asA Community Workshop was held in Miners Rest on Saturday, 14 October 2006. The outcomes of the workshop were incorporated into the draft ODP document.

Information Session

A public information session was held for residents at the Cooinda Maternal & Child Healthcare Centre on Thursday, 30 August 2007 for those wishing to find out more about the Plan.

Document Exhibition

The draft Miners Rest Outline Development Plan was exhibited in September-October 2007 with submissions closing on Friday, 5 October 2007.

The current ODP provides an up-to-date review and assessment of how the township is developing, and a vision of how it should develop in the future.

The Miners Rest Outline Development Plan was adopted by Council on 12 December 2007. The adopted ODP can be downloaded below or viewed at the Ballarat Town Hall, Sturt Street, Ballarat.
