The plan was the culmination of a rigorous planning process that considered the entire Plenty Valley growth corridor. This process confirmed the Urban Development Zone, which required that a Local Structure Plan (LSP) be prepared and incorporated into the Whittlesea Planning Scheme before subdivision and development could proceed. The Mernda Strategy Plan builds on the foundations of the PVSP and introduces many new principles associated with sustainable development. It articulates a vision for a series of new communities that will be much more than new residential estates on Melbourne’s northern fringe. As well as meeting future housing needs, development in Mernda will foster economic development, environmental preservation and social progress. Local Structure Plans were subsequently approved for South Morang, Whittlesea Township and the north-east portion of Mernda/Doreen (Laurimar Estate). The Mernda Strategy Plan will constitute the LSP (now described as an Incorporated Plan under the VPPs) for the balance of the designated urban growth area in Mernda and Doreen. future of Mernda as an urban growth corridor and initiated amendments to the Whittlesea and then Diamond Creek Planning Schemes to facilitate this process.
