Revised Batemans Bay Masterplan

The revised Batemans Bay Masterplan seeks balanced growth for community, business, and environment - for a thriving town centre, quality public spaces, and a resilient community.

What's happened so far

Phase one: Draft masterplan

Council prepared a draft Batemans Bay masterplan. Council received community feedback. We then asked independent company Centium to prepare a probity report.

Phase two: Revised masterplan

In June 2026, councillors approved a project plan to guide the revised masterplan. The project plan responds to community feedback from phase one and Centium's probity report. The probity report includes a structured program of technical studies.

The revised masterplan will focus on housing choice.

Have your say

We listened to the community's feedback. The revised masterplan will not include the proposed 100m height limit. Instead, we want to hear your thoughts on three different housing density options in and around Batemans Bay:

1. density in the town centre
2. medium density throughout the study area
3. density close to town but not in the centre.

Take our short survey about the Revised Batemans Bay Masterplan. Share your thoughts on housing options for the town centre, transport, heritage, the waterfront, and ways we can revitalise the town. The survey closes on Sunday 11 October 2026:

• Take our survey.

Next steps

After the phase two community engagement period is complete, we will consider all feedback. This feedback, along with the technical studies, will help shape the revised masterplan.

We will then present the revised masterplan to councillors in December 2026 for adoption.
