The Borough of Queenscliffe and City of Greater Geelong have appointed planning consultants Planisphere to prepare a Structure Plan for the township of Point Lonsdale.
The project, jointly funded by the State Government and the municipalities of Queenscliffe and Geelong, is guided by a Project Control Group comprising Councillor and officer representatives from both municipalities and the Department of Planning and Community Development and independently chaired by Diane James, former chairperson of the Victorian Coastal Council.
Key outcomes of the Plan will be a comprehensive assessment of the township development opportunities and constraints in the context of State coastal and sustainability planning policies and the identification of a Settlement Boundary to clearly define the outer limits of urban growth for Point Lonsdale. The Plan will also be identify major community and physical infrastructure requirements for the town and appropriate planning tools to manage development form and outcomes and build on the work undertaken through the Bellarine Peninsula Strategic Plan 2006-2016.
A Community Workshop was held on the 29th March 2008 with over 120 attendees. The workshop responses are can be viewed using the link below. The attached Community Bulletin includes a Feedback sheet. Feedback sheets should be returned by 11th April 2008.
