The Exeter and District Structure Plan 2026 was adopted by Council at its Ordinary meeting on 18 August 2026.
It provides a long term plan for land use and development for the future of Exeter, Gravelly Beach, Blackwall and Lanena.
The structure plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains responsive to changing circumstances and needs as the area grows and changes.

A Structure Plan is a document that guides the future development of a town or suburb. It lays the foundation for regulatory zoning and the planning process, including where future growth is planned to occur.
The focus of the 2026 Structure Plan is on land use and development and seeks to address future needs for growth, particularly residential growth. It builds on the previous 2014 Structure Plan which was reviewed to understand what has changed in the twelve years since it was released and what the future needs of the community are.
The Structure Plan 2026 was informed by three rounds of community consultation which is detailed in the Engagement Summary.
Details of the submissions and Council’s response is included in the Engagement Summary, which can be downloaded here: :
