What is a precinct structure plan and a future urban structure?

A Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) is a land use and infrastructure plan to guide the development of an area over time. It provides certainty for community members and developers by providing a long-term vision for how an area will develop in the future. 

A PSP sets out the preferred locations of residential and employment land and infrastructure, and provides guidance for transport and parking, urban design, heritage and character, open spaces and integrated water management. 

Together with the broader planning framework, precinct structure planning is an important part of the Victorian Government’s strategy to address population growth, housing and employment demands. 

The Future Urban Structure is the overall framework plan that provides high-level direction on future land uses, major transport networks, open space and activity centres.

Together with the broader planning framework, precinct structure planning is an important part of the state government’s strategy to address population growth, housing, and employment demands.
