Draft Port Elliot Master Plan

The Draft Middleton, Milang and Port Elliot Master Plans were prepared based on a series of location based co-design workshops and MySay input from the community. The Master Plans were commenced following community outcomes from the 2021 Village Conversations.

The aim of the Master Plans (the Plans) was to develop implementable plans with clearly defined and prioritised actions to ensure the desired future character can be achieved. The Plans were developed with a number of Objectives as follows:

• Identifying any land needed to accommodate future needs of the growing population from a residential, recreation, open space, commercial and industrial perspective.
• In identifying the above needs explore the social needs of a growing community and the associated services required.
• Explore and identify any infrastructure needs particularly focussed on heavy vehicle routes and local traffic management within and around the town and any potential essential services upgrades.
• The protection and enhancement of the natural environment.
• Analyse the public realm to ensure that an agreed theme is identified and carried through any future development.
• Ensure that the plan continues to build on established facilities and tourism elements.
• Ensure that the plan acknowledges and incorporates actions and outcomes identified in other Council documents.

Each of the three Plans were collaboratively developed with the community by a highly skilled multi-disciplinary team of consultants through a series of steps including:

• a working group site visit where key stakeholders from the community were met
• preparation of background material including identification of the strategic framework applicable to each
• full day co-design workshop involving stakeholders, community members and council staff comprising a workshop
• preliminary draft plans prepared
• MySay feedback on preliminary draft plans
• updated plans prepared
• Internal staff and executive team feedback provided
• Final draft plans prepared for formal consultation
• Council Information presentation overview of Plans and key recommendations
•
