How We Help
What’s WPG’s process for developing a master plan?
While every master plan is tailored to the specific site, there are certain elements that need to be included for greater clarity and confidence in the project. These
Project vision including key place drivers
Early establishment and clear messaging of the overall vision, mission and values help solidify the long-term goals and overall outcomes for everyone involved in the project.
Stakeholder liaising
Seeking early input from internal contributors and external businesses, organisations, agencies or interest groups allows for open and honest communication channels throughout the project.
Community engagement
Effective community engagement isn’t about overcoming objections or telling them what they need. In the early stages, it provides an effective channel for building relationships and gathering valuable data with the primary recipients of the project.
Implementation plan & governance framework
The pathway to success involves a clear map of the statutory approvals process and the setting of realistic timeframes for delivery.
Concept planning & feasibility studies
Using all information collected to date, a high-level view of how the project can (not will) look is developed and used to seek approvals to move to detailed design.

What Are Strategic Master Plans?
Master plans aim to provide direction and outline growth for the future, long-term development of designated areas. These plans work to improve and balance proposed and existing developments that benefit future businesses, residents, and visitors of the community. Additionally, master plans are:
- Non-statutory (or common law)
- A comprehensive plan for a community’s physical growth and development over time
- A future vision and policy guide
- A detailed analysis of every aspect of community development
- Used to define a town’s character and its importance
- Detailed documents outlining objectives and strategies for development management over an extended period.

Local Government Master Plans:
The Advantages Of Being Prepared
Now you understand what a strategic master plan is, let’s jump into their benefits. Local government master plans afford you the opportunity for:
- Both short and long term planning solutions. Although the overall aim of master plans is to create long-term visions and goals, they also help in the short term as they preserve and protect a community’s intended character.
- Potential private sector investments. This will assist in helping to identify both public and private goals in addition to the roles each sector will play.
- Effective decision making. The plan outlines future community aspirations. Understanding the end goal will allow government officials and other departments to make decisions that will assist in developing and producing the proposed plan.
- Assistance with prioritisation. This means you can order tasks accordingly, making for a more efficient rollout.
- Community engagement. This includes liaising with residents, business owners and anyone who has a stake in the community’s future.
