The Lowood Futures Strategy is a blueprint that establishes a bold and ambitious vision and Concept Master Plan. The Strategy focuses on priorities for redevelopment, public realm enhancements and infrastructure upgrades to create a distinctive and attractive place, strengthen the local economy and attract people to stop, interact and engage.

The Strategy is a collaboration between Somerset Regional Council and the Lowood community and provides the foundation for effective partnerships to enable and deliver the initiatives and projects. The approach is built on the understanding that the Strategy will be successful if the community and key stakeholders own the outcomes and are confident to act on the initiatives.

The Lowood Futures Strategy is organised into five key components. These components reflect the shared views of the community and simply illustrate ‘why’ we think change is required, ‘what’ our future aspirations are for Lowood, ‘how’ we will achieve the vision, ‘where’ change is proposed and ‘when’ you can expect action and transformation to occur.

Lowood has untapped potential as a regional centre serving the needs of a growing population, as well as visitors and tourists stopping to experience the town’s unique local character. Now is the time to leverage the positive momentum and investments in major projects and harness the community’s desire to transform the Town Centre and stimulate new activity and development.

The Concept Master Plan illustrates how the Strategy Initiatives can be realised through change on the ground, presented at a Township scale and Town Centre scale. The Lowood Futures Strategy is the future of Lowood.
