Residential Growth Areas

Land known as the North West and South Wangaratta Residential Growth Areas was rezoned from Farming Zone to General Residential land in late 2019.  This rezoning was facilitated by Planning Scheme Amendment C71 and designed to facilitate growth to the current supply of residential land and allow for approximately 5000 people to call Wangaratta home in the future.

Each of the growth areas have a precinct structure plan to guide the future development and a development contributions plan to enable the provision of major infrastructure.
