    Bagdad Mangalore Structure Plan

    Southern Midland Council is developing a long-term plan for the Bagdad-Mangalore valley, to replace the 2010 Bagdad-Mangalore Structure Plan. 

    The plan will be informed by extensive community and stakeholder engagement, and set a 30-year vision to meet changing community needs in areas such as housing, roads and paths, open space, community infrastructure, township amenity, and agricultural land. 

    The plan may recommend changes to zoning, or identify future infrastructure upgrades, to be delivered over time.  The new Structure Plan is expected to be completed in late 2025.
