Master Plan
The draft Master Plan is a framework that outlines how Bradfield City Centre will grow into a thriving 24/7 ecosystem of culture, creativity, and innovation immersed in a parkland environment.
The Master Plan process
There are seven stages in the master planning process.
The draft Bradfield City Centre Master Plan was open for public exhibition from 5 February to 4 March 2024, and has now progressed to Stage 5. Submissions are currently being reviewed.
The Plan details how the city will grow over time, creating new homes and better jobs immersed in a parkland environment. It will guide development of the city for years to come.
