Planning, strategies and projects

Council has developed a range of strategies that influence planning and the works undertaken on recreation facilities and reserves across Mount Alexander Shire. These include:

Council is currently working on a Local Reserves Strategy to document and develop plans for 10 local reserves in the Shire. Council is also developing a Public Open Space Strategy to plan the strategic direction for the development of open space within the Shire.
