Macedon Ranges Small Town Study 2006

Small towns and communities situated across Macedon Ranges Shire are facing a range of issues that relate to infrastructure and development, their environmental setting, community facilities / services and rural character. Strategic assessment of several of the larger settlements (Macedon, Mount Macedon, Lancefield and Malmsbury) was undertaken in the late 1990’s, and there is a Local Policy and Structure Plan in the current Planning Scheme for each of these towns. Six other small towns were selected for review as part of the project (Tylden, Newham, Carlsruhe, Monegeetta-Bolinda, Darraweit- Guim and Lauriston).
