Heidelberg road corridor local area plan and built form framework

Information about the proposed new planning controls for the Heidelberg Road Corridor.

Heidelberg Road forms the boundary between the City of Darebin (north side) and the City of Yarra (south side).

To protect the local amenity, Darebin and Yarra City Councils have developed an overarching draft Heidelberg Road Corridor Local Area Plan which sets strategic direction for the future of the corridor.

The Darebin City Council is considering rezoning the existing industrial land to the Commercial 2 Zone and Commercial 3 Zone (one site only) to attract a wider range of jobs.

We are also proposing to introduce building height limits, setbacks on commercial land, overshadowing controls and side and rear setbacks, along with heritage controls on selected properties.
