What is an Urban Growth Zone (UGZ)?
The UGZ applies to land that has been identified for future urban development. The UGZ:
- Manages the transition of non-urban land into urban land.
- Encourages the development of well-planned and well-serviced new urban communities, generally in accordance with a precinct structure plan.
- Reduces the number of development approvals needed in areas where a precinct structure plan is approved.
- Safeguards non-urban land from use and development that could prejudice its future urban development.
