Master Plan & Structure Planning and Implementation Strategy

Adopted by Wagga Wagga City Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on Monday night, 16 December 2019, the Master Plan outlines the 25-30 year vision for the area around Wagga Wagga’s two major hospitals to develop a central activity hub to enhance current and new health services in Wagga Wagga and the Riverina, and to support local employment in this key industry.

The master plan was created to:

  • Define the health precinct around the public and private hospitals.
  • Provide a strategic direction for the management of competing land uses and development pressures within the health precinct.
  • Identify and facilitate suitable reuse of buildings for health and allied health practices.
  • Maximise opportunities for complimentary activities including hospitality and accommodation.
  • Serve as a model health precinct plan that can be replicated in other health precincts in regional cities, including Albury and Griffith.
