The Borough of Queenscliffe and City of Greater Geelong and the appointed planning consultants Planisphere have developed a draft Structure Plan for the township of Point Lonsdale.
The project, jointly funded by the State Government and the municipalities of Queenscliffe and Geelong, was 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 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 29 March 2008 with over 120 attendees. The workshop responses are can be viewed using the link below.
An informal drop in community information session will be held on Saturday 4 October 2008 at the Point Lonsdale Primary School Hall, Bowen Road, Point Lonsdale from 10.00am to 2.00pm.
Officer and consultant representatives will be at the venue to talk to interested persons about the key directions of the draft and explain opportunities for making submissions to the draft.
The community is invited to view the draft and make submissions to it by 31 October 2008.
