The final stage of the community engagement project is a second community survey.
Based on what we have heard so far, this survey seeks to refine the focus of future development controls. Council appreciates the rich and extensive feedback that was received from the community in the first two stages of engagement - 631 responses to the first survey and approximately 130 people participating in the face-to-face engagement activities in March 2024.
To date, we have heard that the community want future planning controls to:
- Focus on areas with significant heritage values.
- Not preclude change but rather respond to different site and area-based constraints and opportunities across Berry.
- Respond to infrastructure needs, especially parking, roads, pedestrian movement and drainage.
- Ensure landscaping and vegetation is a key consideration in every development.
- Continue to value and place emphasis on views and the rural landscape.

Initial in-person consultation for the Berry Planning Investigations Project has now concluded, with many people sharing their thoughts and ideas about possible new planning and heritage provisions for Berry (East of the Highway/Bypass).

Council is in the initial stages of gathering community feedback and ideas to inform the preparation of a draft Development Control Plan (DCP) for Berry, east of the Princes Highway, and the progression of a new Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) in the vicinity of Princess Street Berry.
Council has engaged Locale Consulting to assist in engaging with the community about the draft DCP. Locale are a small, dedicated and trusted team of deep-listeners and problem solvers who are committed to creating better outcomes for regional communities. They are experts in designing and delivering meaningful engagement processes that deliver genuine outcomes.
