The draft Central Maitland Structure Plan is a 30 year strategic plan which aims to re-establish Central Maitland as the primary centre in the Maitland local government area. Central Maitland is significant to the Maitland community, but also regionally as the city, second only to Newcastle in the Lower Hunter Region.
The structure plan provides a clear direction to guide future development in Central Maitland towards a revitalised, vibrant centre for the enjoyment of residents, workers and visitors of Maitland.
Consultation with regard to this plan concluded on 21 August 2009.
The Maitland Mercury has reported: "Council city strategy manager Monica Gibson said the council had received 20 written responses on Thursday morning, but was expecting about 100 when submissions closed on Friday."
