Council are developing the Toolern Metropolitan Activity Centre and Employment and Mixed Use Urban Design Framework. An urban design framework is a detailed planning and design document that will guide the future development of the town centre.

Located in Cobblebank, this town centre will serve the region as the main hub for shopping, services, food and entertainment and will be similar to Sunshine and Broadmeadows town centres.

Right next door will be a future employment area featuring office spaces, warehousing, big box retail and light industry.

As part of the Urban Design Framework (UDF) process, a background report is required in order to identify any issues and opportunities prior to beginning the UDF. The Background report is below.
