San Remo Structure Plan
Over the next 20 years, it is projected that San Remo will grow by between 400 and as much 2100 additional permanent residents.
For San Remo to continue to be a vibrant place to live and visit, Bass Coast Shire Council is developing a Structure Plan to guide its future growth and development to 2041.
The San Remo Structure Plan will be informed by technical reports and feedback from the preliminary community consultation, and will provide direction for future planning controls, planning permit applications and capital works.
Outcomes from Preliminary Community Consultation
Preliminary Community Consultation was undertaken from 26 October 2023 to 8 December 2023.
This round of consultation captured:
- 137 social mapping markers on various themes from 46 separate contributors; and
- 21 nominations for the Community Reference Group.

In January 2024, the San Remo Structure Plan CRG was established. The CRG is made up of 12 individuals whom live, work or have a business in San Remo.
