Gisborne Business Park Development Plan

We have been preparing a master plan for expansion of the Gisborne Business Park. The plan provided for more land for industrial and commercial uses to support economic growth and jobs in Gisborne and across the shire.

The Draft Business Park Development Plan was exhibited to the community in February 2019. A number of submissions were made regarding traffic, township character and urban design, environmental conditions and the potential heritage values of Woiwurrung Cottage at 111 Saunders Road, New Gisborne. These submissions were considered at the 22 May 2019 Ordinary Council Meeting.

At the 18 December 2019 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council resolved to further consider the Gisborne Business Park Development Plan as part of the Gisborne Futures project.

The resolution was that Council:

  1. Resolve to further consider the Gisborne Futures Business Park Development Plan as part of the Gisborne Futures project.
  2. Resolve to inform submitters to the Gisborne Business Park Development Plan of this decision. 

This will allow the project to be considered holistically as part of the overall planning for Gisborne as a regional centre. 

For further information, refer to the Gisborne Futures Phase 4 Consultation Report found on the Gisborne Futures webpage.
