Moray Council has published proposals to build up to 500 houses at Mosstodloch.
The masterplan setting out the development of the village over the next 20 years is now open to public consultation.
As well as housebuilding, the proposals also include a "strengthened" village centre near the Ian Baxter Picnic Area.
In addition, a new road might be built from Cowfords Roundabout to Garmouth Road to offer an alternative route for HGVs and traffic.
Crown Estate Scotland, which owns some of the land, drew up the masterplan following discussions with the community.
Moray Council is now asking for the community’s thoughts on the draft document, before using the feedback to develop the final plan.
The consultation will last until the last week of August.
David Gordon (Speyside/Glenlivet, Conservative), who chairs the council's planning committee, is encouraging people to take part.
"I know people are very passionate about their area, so I hope they will grab this chance to contribute to the plans with both hands.
"We have a fantastic opportunity here to build the foundations of a community-led village development.
"I look forward to this masterplan coming back to committee following input from locals."
