The purpose of the Health Precinct Structure Plan (HPSP) is to develop a long-term guiding framework for land use and built form outcomes within the Health Precinct. 

The key objectives of the structure plan are to:

• Provide specific direction as to where the health and allied activities are to be located.

• Meet the healthcare needs of the municipality and the broader regional area.

• Create a vision and feel for the area that defines built form, open space design, landscape enhancements and entry points.

• Improve access and connectivity including appropriate car parking, walkability, safety, all ability access, public transport and emergency vehicle access.

• Demonstrate environmental sustainability.
