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.

Community interest in works at 2-8 Worland Rd
The site at 2–8 Worland Road is located within the North West Wangaratta Growth Area. The adopted structure plan identifies this land for future commercial use including the development of a neighbourhood activity centre which may include a supermarket and other retail or commercial businesses. Part of the site is also identified to be developed for the purposes of a drainage reserve to service the wider area.
Current works on the site relate solely to the construction of a drainage basin. While Council is aware of media reports referring to a future Coles supermarket, there are currently no planning applications before Council, and no permits have been issued for a supermarket development on this land.
