Region and the protect ion of areas within the Region of natural beauty or of speci a 1 significance to the Region; and · (iii) the provision of services and faciliti·es .within the Region ... To fulfill these objectives, the Commission is preparing a series of long­ range graphical .structure Plans for the urban localities throughout the Region and is assisted in doing so by the. several municipalities, state government agencies and other interested groups. This Structure Plan is. therefore a statement of planning policy adopted by the. Geelong Regional Commission the City of South Barwon and the Barrabool Shi.re· Council, and accepted by the various other authorities concerned with urban development. As an instrument of government it discusses and illustrates the long-term developm·ent strategy for the Torquay area·. · The adopted Plan broadly indicates the pattern of residential development and related commercial and community facilities envisaged for the future.

INTROOUCTION Ll The Study Area Torquay/Jan Juc is situated on the southern coast some 24 kilometres south of Geelong. The present population of the settlement is just over 3,000 people spread over an undulating coastal hinterland. The attraction of. the sea is significant in an area which boasts surf beaches. of international acclaim. Despite the 'pull' of natural recreation resources to a growing permanent population and thousands of visitors. during summer months, Torquay/Jan Juc has retained its small-scale lively character and is an attraction in itself. 1.2 Purpose of the Structure Plan The Structure Plan for Torquay/Jan Juc is a policy statement for the long-term development of the area. The Structure Plan is a revision and refinement of interim policy proposals, adopted tn 1977 by the Geelong Regional Planning Authority (now the Geelong R~gional Commission), and, the more definit.ive Jan Juc Structure Plan which sett 1ed on the short and medi urn term needs of the south-western sector ·af the·· study are.a. · The Torquay/Jan Juc Structure Plan develops :· the pattern of future residential (including "ruraJ. residential"), resort and commercial development the location of major roads to serve future development an overall open space system for the area. ,1.3 Existing Planning Control Statutory p 1 ann i ng contra 1 through zones and associ a ted Ordinance provisions for the study area, is provided .by the Geelong Regional Interim Development Order. The administration of the Order, particularly the issue of planning permits, is the responsibility of the Shire of Barrabool and the City of South Barwon.

REGIONAL CONTEXT · 2.1 Regional Objectives 2.Z Population and Housing. 2.3 Role of Torquay/Jan Juc .•. - 6 - 2. REGIONAL CONTEXT 2.1 Regional .Objectives With a prosperous,· more mobile population, and as a result of an -.- increasing proportion of the Australian population being of retirement age, coast a 1 towns have experienced · increase-d growth. This is reflected in the more intensive use of town facilities by ho 1i day visitors as well as increasing permanent resident i a 1 populati·ons. However, these trends tend to counter the resort ch~racter of coastal towns and have highlighted the need · for constructive policies which preserve the attractions of the town, for both visitors and residents. · Preparation of the Commission•s- structure plans for coastal towns contributes to an overall regional strategy. Each appraisal and preparation of a structure plan follows from the following regional objectives ensuring that the individual character and identity of the coastal towns will be retained; achieving a compatible balance between the resort a~d dormitory functions of the towns; facilitating the economic provision of water, sewerage and other reticul~ted services and roads; · ensuring the economic and efficient provision of commercial and community services; protecting the coastal landscapes and foreshores in and beteween the coastal towns. 2.2 Population and Housing Recent Population Growth In the latest intercensal period of 1971-1976 the Geelong Region increased in population from 141~000 to 156,400, a growth of 11% over the five years. Much of this increase has been in the new commuter­ suburb areas of the Bellarine Peninsula and Lara. Torquay/Jan Juc had an absolute population increase of 677 persons or 35% over the five-year period. This is similar to Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads' increase of 34% over the same time. Torquay/Jan Juc is ·enjoying increasing popularity as an area for permanent residence. A .decreasing. proportion of unoccup;.ed · dwe 11 i ngs was evident in Torquay/Jah Juc between 1911 and 1976.

  • Buckley Falls Park
    BUCKLEY FALLS PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENT AUGUST 1991 33?·. 1: .$!) ~ t. i FOREWORD Buckley Falls Park is one of Geelong's prime conservation and recreation areas although this has not always been recognised. Despite its proximity to the centre of Geelong and its significant recreational potential only a relatively small proportion of local residents, let alone visitors to the region, are aware of the area. This Management Plan aims to raise the profile of Buckley Falls Park to ensure that its natural, cultural and recreational values are managed in a balanced way for the benefit of the community. Through the implementation of this Plan, the conservation and recreation corridor along the Barwon River will be extended thereby further enhancing Geelong's open space system. This Management Plan has been prepared by a number of organisations and individuals and I thank them for thetr efforts and a fine result. The Plan recognises and documents the great natural, historical, recreational and landscape values of the Park. It proposes detailed management actions of varying levels of priority for implementation. · The Plan provides a set of long-term guidelines for the management of all aspects of the Park. It is recommended that the existing Committees of Management and any future Committees with responsibility for the area adopt the Plan in principle to ensure that the Park is conserved while allowing for a balance of uses. There is much goodwill in the general community at an organisational, individual This Management Plan was prepared by: and corporate level for the management of the area.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • Central Geelong Framework Plan Advisory Committee Engage Victoria
    Central Geelong Framework Plan Advisory 59 Committee Full Name: Andrew Mauderer Organisation: Affected property: Attachment 1: https://engage.vic.gov.au/download_file/49431 Attachment 2: Attachment 3: Comments: I would like to object to the draft central Geelong framework plan. This plan severley devalues my property at ,and restricts the type of use of my property going forward. I have previously submitted and spoken with the council in regards to a development on my property at . They planning officer advised me that we should be increasing the height of the development to utilize the full extend of the regulations. Under this new draft this would now not be possible. Many building in close proximity are already exceeding these new height restrictions.(ST JOHN OF GOD HOSPITAL,RYDGES HOTEL ETC) We are being discriminated against with this new draft proposal. I purchased this property in 1998 because you were able to build to approx 10 stories on this site,and that is where the value of this property lies. If the council want to hamstring future development of central Geelong the council need to compensate people like myself for the difference between the value of our property with a full development as opposed to the greatly reduced development potential being proposed. I have already invested a considerable amount of time and money in relation to design of a building, drawing and consultation with architects and builders,to slowly move towards the redevelopment of our site. I am submitting the plans that were discussed with council and ask to note that we object strongly to this draft Geelong framework plan and ask that we as a city don't move forward with this framework proposal as it hinders the cities future property and development.
