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.
