Project update (June 2026)
At the June 23 Council Meeting, Council formally resolved to proceed with the official revocation of the community land classification for specific underutilised parcels surrounding Prospect Oval. This final milestone follows official approval from the Minister for Local Government, completing a rigorous, multi-stage statutory process.
Council is now positioned to progress into the delivery phase of the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan, which will include future partner alignments to introduce detailed site visuals and draft layout designs to the community.
Meanwhile, the Draft Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Code Amendment remains with the Minister for Planning for final approval.
Project background
In June 2025, Council endorsed the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan, setting a long-term vision to revitalise Prospect Oval and its surrounds.
This includes upgraded community sporting and recreational facilities, improved accessibility, enhanced public green space, and a balanced mix of commercial and residential uses.
The next step in delivering on this vision was the draft Code Amendment.
What we consulted on
Council’s proposed amendment to the State Government’s Planning and Design Code is the legal tool that makes the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct vision possible by setting the zoning rules, land use and building heights.
The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Code Amendment proposes two distinct zones:
- Recreation Zone: Rezones Prospect Oval and Memorial Gardens to strictly limit any development to that related to sport and recreation use, legally protecting the land for future generations.
- Urban Corridor Boulevard Zone: Rezones the Main North Road frontage to allow mixed-use buildings (max. 12 storeys), focusing density and traffic onto the arterial road andaway from local streets.
Current zones
The full Prospect Lifestyle Precinct draft Code Amendment and all related documents (including technical investigations) remain available in the Document Library on the right of this page.
What happens next
The endorsed Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Code Amendment and the statutory Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Code Amendment Engagement Report will now be submitted to the State Government's Minister for Planning, who will make the final decision on the proposal.
