Shire President David Lavell said the council had been keen to adopt the draft plan, given strong community aspirations for renewal of the town centre.
“Ultimately, the goal of the masterplan is to deliver a thriving village lifestyle with a strong town centre,” he said.
“This centre is the cultural and retail heart of the Shire and now’s the chance for interested residents to help shape its future.”
Cr Lavell said the masterplan would incorporate ways to attract more tourists, who would bring more economic activity and vitality to the centre.
“The masterplan will ensure our town centre becomes an enviable place to live, shop, work and visit, not just in the short term but into the future,” he said.
