Bass Coast Shire Council is inviting feedback from businesses, stakeholders, and members of the community on its draft Industrial Land Use Strategy.

The strategy aims to address the growing demand for industrial land in key precincts including Cowes, Grantville, Newhaven, Inverloch, and Wonthaggi.

Feedback is open until July 28, with drop in sessions held across the shire throughout July.

Phillip Island sessions are:

July 9, 10am - 3pm: Information Centre, Newhaven
July 19, 10am - 3pm: Berninneit, Cowes

Sessions will also be held in Grantville, Inverloch and Wonthaggi.

The draft strategy outlines overarching strategies, vision statements, guidelines for land use and development, and long-term expansion area plans.

"The Bass Coast Industrial Land Use Strategy is an initiative aimed at supporting employment growth and attracting investment," said Bass Coast Shire Mayor, Cr Clare Le Serve.

"Feedback from our community is critical to ensure the strategy aligns with local needs and aspirations. I encourage you to take this opportunity to provide input into this work."

The council said the strategy builds upon feedback gathered during the consultation on the Industrial Land Use Strategy Discussion Paper earlier this year which heard of community concerns regarding land suitability and availability.

You can take part by reviewing the strategy on the engage.basscoast website and completing a survey, or by booking a consultation with the strategic planning team.

Following the engagement period, a final strategy will be developed and presented to the August Council Meeting.
