Chittering New Town

On the 15 April 2009, the Shire of Chittering Council resolved to seek the community’s comments on a proposal to bring forward the planning for the Chittering New Town.

The proposal has been developed by Aspen Group and seeks to:

  • widen the Chittering New Town investigation area to include land further to the south of the existing area (Map);
  • set out a vision and principles to provide a solid foundation for future detailed planning of the New Town; and
  • support development in the short-term (next 5 to 10 years).

The proposal is supported by a vision report and background papers prepared by Aspen called "Chittering New Town – Breaking the Pattern".

The development of the New Town provides an exciting opportunity to plan for sustainable population and jobs growth in the Shire of Chittering.

The model for the New Town is based around:

  • the provision of key infrastructure - education, health and lifestyle facilities and services - up-front;
  • the management of the services and infrastructure;
  • the creation of a community based around self-responsibility;
  • a partnership between government, corporate enterprises and the community to provide infrastructure and services;
  • development of the local economy and employment creation being a core business of the management of the town, with a focus on self-sufficiency, but also to include export of goods and services; and
  • the support and nurturing of a food bowl in the district and a market place to sell the produce.

A New Town in the Shire of Chittering was first raised by the State government in the early 1990s. Government strategy states that the New Town is to provide for around 10,000 people, with the creation of local jobs and development of the town to start around 2021.

The concept was incorporated into the Shire of Chittering’s Local Planning Strategy in 2004 which sets out the direction for growth over the next 20 years.

The new proposal put forward by Aspen now requires an amendment to the 2004 Local Planning Strategy and submissions by written comment should be forwarded to the Shire of Chittering.
