Adopted July 2021

A Place Plan is a guiding document that identifies the vision, character, structure and form of a place – now and into the future

The Picton Place Plan will provide the blueprint for Council’s vision for Picton as a cultural, community, heritage and government centre for Wollondilly Shire. Picton is at an important cross road with its role rapidly evolving as the Shire grows.

The Plan helps identify and define the future role of Picton. Picton has traditionally been the administrative centre for Wollondilly. The Plan supports the continuation and enhancement of Picton’s role into the future with the new community, cultural and civic precinct acting as the town centre hub.

The Picton Place Plan also provides a strong model for the development of future place plans for other towns and villages in Wollondilly Shire. Council will continue to consider the funding of infrastructure projects across the entire Shire as part of Council’s budgeting process and an important part of that is to establish a clear and cohesive vision.

The Picton Place Plan will provide Council and the community with a shared vision for the town and guide the delivery of future programs, events and infrastructure projects. It will also ensure that the emerging Picton town centre has a vibrant, strong community, cultural and civic centre for the existing and future residents of Wollondilly.

~ Documents were on Public Exhibition between 6 April and 18 May 2021, with two community drop-in sessions held on Thursday 29 April 2021. ~
