  • 21.03 Settlement
    MOIRA PLANNING SCHEME 21.03 SETTLEMENT 14/12/2017 C77 This clause provides local content to support clause 11 (Settlement) and clause 16 (Housing). 21.03-1 Key issues 14/12/2017 C77 The key planning issues and challenges relating to settlement include: . Facilitating the orderly development of towns and settlements . Facilitating the development of a diverse range of housing options for the existing and future population . Facilitating the sustainable development of small town and settlements . Controlling future development of housing in rural areas to ensure that it is responsive to a demonstrated need and will not prejudice the long-term sustainability of farming An overview of these issues and challenges are described below. 21.03-2 Orderly development of towns and settlements 14/12/2017 C77 Overview Moira Shire is a predominantly rural municipality. Moira has four principal towns (Cobram, Yarrawonga, Numurkah and Nathalia) and a number of smaller towns and settlements that support the rural and lifestyle activities of residents. New residential development is particularly encouraged in these towns so as to attract and support expanding populations that will, in turn, stimulate the economic and social development of these centres. To guide this development Council has completed the following strategic projects to guide the orderly development of its urban areas: . Yarrawonga Strategy Plan 2004 . Cobram 2025 Strategy Plan 2007 . Numurkah Strategy Plan 2010 . Nathalia Strategy Plan 2010 . Moira Small Towns and Settlements Strategy Plan 2013 The Bathumi, Youanmite and Marungi Restructure Plan Report 2008 has restructured areas to provide for the sustainable development of these areas. Council seeks to consolidate residential uses in towns and in surrounding identified rural lifestyle areas, where there is no adverse impact on rural activities.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017

Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Moira Shire. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Moira Shire. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.
