Wyndham City plans for Werribee City Centre of the future

Wyndham City has adopted an important refresh of the Werribee City Centre Plan that will guide the growth and development of the City Centre through to 2040.

The refreshed Plan incorporates feedback we received through extensive community consultation and is designed to help shape the economic, social and cultural growth of the Werribee City Centre in a way the community prefers.

Now that this important work has been done, Wyndham City will begin planning on a rolling program of streetscape upgrades proposed over the next 10 years, subject to future Council funding.

Next steps will also include progressing a Planning Scheme Amendment for Schedule 1 to the Activity Centre Zone and Schedule 1 to the Parking Overlay to incorporate them into the Wyndham Planning Scheme (subject to a future Council decision).

This process will include a public exhibition period, during which the community will have the opportunity to make submissions.

Werribee City Centre of the Future

Werribee City Centre is a vibrant, diverse and growing centre, offering a range of attractions enjoyed by those who live, work and study in the area. Over the past ten years, growth and change in the Werribee City Centre has been guided by a vision, structure plan and policy.

We've refreshed some of our important planning documents to help shape Werribee's vibrant future and want to know what you think.

What's changed?

This has been an important project with the Werribee City Centre Structure Plan, Parking Strategy, Streetscape Framework and Design Manual, Schedule 1 to the Activity Centre Zone and Parking Overlay all being updated based on your feedback:

• We've refreshed the City Centre vision highlighting Werribee’s strengths and role as part of the ‘heart’ of Wyndham.
• We've expanded the boundary of the City Centre to include important landmarks like the Werribee Racecourse and Eagle Stadium.
• We've fine tuned planning controls so new City Centre buildings integrate well with residential areas, heritage assets, streetscapes and parks, for improved amenity.
• We've updated existing strategies to make the City Centre even more accessible, attractive, vibrant and community focused.
• We created the new draft Streetscape Framework & Design Manual to guide the streetscape upgrades desired by the community.
