Bagdad Mangalore Structure Plan Project
Southern Midland Council has commenced preparation of a long-term plan for the Bagdad-Mangalore valley, to replace the 2010 Bagdad-Mangalore Structure Plan.
The current Structure Plan is over 14 years old, and some of the fundamental drivers have changed in the time since. For example, there are new employment opportunities in the Brighton area, with the advent of the Brighton industrial precinct and freight hub. Midland Highway upgrades, completed in recent years, have lowered the speed limit through the valley and created a right-turn lane along the centre of the road. While bringing local benefits, this investment means a highway bypass is not likely in the short term. At the same time, the new Bridgewater Bridge will benefit travel times between Bagdad-Mangalore and Greater Hobart.
