Horsham North action list finalised

Published on 23 May 2023

Community feedback has shaped an action list that aims to improve the liveability of a Horsham neighbourhood across the next decade.

Horsham Rural City Council adopted the final version of the Horsham North Local Area Plan at Monday night’s May 22 Meeting.

It follows extensive engagement activities with local residents during November and December last year.

The Plan is centred on three key themes:

1. Land Use and Future Character
2. Access and Connectivity
3. Public and Open Spaces

Ten goals have been developed in accordance with the three themes.

1. Ensure all streets have a footpath on at least one side
2. Reinstate bitumen footpaths that have disappeared historically due to inadequate maintenance
3. Improve safety issues through the completion of seven initial assessments currently underway
4. Investigation of a third underpass and Rail Corridor Landscape Plan
5. Develop Lukin Court Public Open Space
6. Planting of 409 trees on nature-strips within Horsham North
7. Completion of Dudley Cornell Reserve Master Plan
8. Undertake a Housing Diversity and Affordability Strategy
9. Undertake a third art work installation at the Horsham Silos site
10. Land Acquisition of surplus Vic Track land in the Rail Corridor.
