The Baldwin Road Development Plan applies to land north of Baldwin Road in Traralgon, identified as a key residential growth area in the Latrobe Planning Scheme. It guides the coordinated subdivision and development of this land to support a well-planned and connected community that aligns with Council’s broader growth objectives.
This area was earmarked for urban expansion in the Traralgon Town Structure Plan, which identifies preferred locations for new residential development. The Baldwin Road area will accommodate a mix of residential lots and public open spaces to meet the needs of future residents.
The Development Plan Overlay – Schedule 11 (DPO11) applies to this area and requires a Development Plan to be approved before any permits for subdivision can be issued. This ensures integrated planning that considers infrastructure delivery, open space provision, and environmental outcomes from the outset.
Once finalised, the Baldwin Road Development Plan will provide a framework for a sustainable and vibrant residential community—connecting to existing neighbourhoods and integrating green spaces that promote an active lifestyle.
The Development Plan applies to the land shown in Figure 1 below.
