Whether or not to adopt industrial land development strategy is among a number of significant decisions on the agenda.

Others include enabling efforts to reimagine Bendigo Creek, implement a food system strategy, and progress a 50-year strategic vision for the city's urban trees and green infrastructure.

City of Greater Bendigo staff have recommended the council adopt the proposed industrial land development strategy and start drafting a planning scheme amendment.

The recommendation has the support of the Bendigo Manufacturing Group, which has considered finding more industrial land in Greater Bendigo a priority for many years.

"It is critical for the future growth of our industry and without it we risk losing jobs in the manufacturing, services and transport areas," Bendigo Manufacturing Group chair Mark Brennan said.

Planning for a new industrial land development strategy started after efforts to compulsorily acquire land for a business park at Marong from the Carter family came to a head in July 2018.

City staff highlighted the urgency of planning for a pipeline of industrial land in Greater Bendigo in their report in Wednesday's meeting agenda.

"The city's capacity to attract large industries requiring even modest-sized sites has basically been reached," they wrote.

While the proposed industrial land development strategy highlighted the need for new greenfield industrial land, city staff said it would not go as far as identifying specific sites.

"This is the subject of a separate process," their report said.

Drafts of the proposed strategy and a background paper attracted 20 submissions from businesses, landowners and state government agencies.

"These submissions generally related to existing precincts and some changes have been made to the strategy as a result," the meeting agenda said.

Other changes included "providing direction in relation to the existing Marong Business Park land."

The Bendigo Advertiser had yet to sight the proposed industrial land development strategy at the time of writing.

The proposed industrial land development strategy is 18 months in the making.

Work on the Reimagining Bendigo Creek Plan took place over two years.

Councillors have been recommended to adopt the plan and work towards its implementation with the Dja Dja Wurrung and the community.

City staff have also recommended the 50-year Greening Greater Bendigo strategy and 10-year action plan be endorsed.

A number of changes were made to the proposed strategy as a result of the draft's release, including expanding a section to "communicate and dispel beliefs about trees' role in bushfires."

Proposed wording on plane trees has also been amended.

Councillors will be asked to consider progress towards a master plan for the Golden Square Recreation Reserve.

A decision on the Golden Square Swimming pool is not planned for Wednesday, despite a motion carried in March. That decision is likely to be made in July, as part of planning for the entire precinct.

Wednesday's meeting starts at 6pm and will be streamed live on the City of Greater Bendigo's website.
