The Bass Coast includes a number of state and national significant areas including Phillip Island and the Bunurong Coastal Park and attracts a large number of visitors who come to enjoy its beauty, nature and surrounds. The Shire is also experiencing significant development pressures and there is strong community sentiment that township growth should be managed. Following a declaration, a Statement of Planning Policy will be developed to better protect the Bass Coast area’s unique landscapes, environment, and lifestyle. This report presents a summary of the key findings from the first phase of engagement for the Bass Coast DAL. The engagement started on 10 July 2019 and finished on 12 August 2019. The engagement process sought to reach a broad range of residents and stakeholders from across the Bass Coast, to communicate that DELWP was beginning the process for the Bass Coast DAL declaration. The engagement sought feedback from the community on what was most valued about the Bass Coast, and their vision for the future of the area. The process was designed and delivered by Capire Consulting Group (Capire) and supported by DELWP. The purpose of engagement was to input into Stage One of the project, including informing the declaration of Bass Coast as a DAL, and to shape a 50 year vision for the region. Additional consultation will be undertaken in Stage Two and Stage Three of the project and will provide guidance for the Statement of Planning Policy. During the engagement, approximately 2,118 people were reached by the project either online or through participation in face-to-face engagement activities. The participants were asked to consider what they valued most about the Bass Coast, the threats to these values, and how these values can be protected. Participants were asked to explore five key themes: natural environments, landscapes and scenic views, culture and heritage, townships and settlements, and areas of economic prosperity. All online and face-to- face engagement feedback was consolidated, and comments were analysed into themes. 3 WWW.CAPIRE.COM.AU BASS COAST – DISTINCTIVE AREAS AND LANDSCAPES, FINAL REPORT 2019 Values Across the five themes, the most frequently identified values were: Natural landscapes: beaches, Beaches: coastal walks, cliff Aboriginal heritage and history: rock platforms, formations e.g. faces and coastline, rocky culturally significant sacred sites Eagle’s Nest, connection to cliff foreshore, sand dunes, rock to the Bunurong people, middens faces, views of beaches ledges with rock pools and artefacts, burial sites and connecting farmlands, rural scar trees landscapes and rolling hills Township character: small size, Tourism: keeping young relaxed and village feel, easy people in the townships and access to open space, amenity having environmentally and facilities considered, sustainable and appropriate tourism Threats Across the five themes, when participants were asked to identify the threats to what they value, they most frequently noted: Overdevelopment: Buildings as a ‘visual intrusion’ Development threatening sites of inappropriate housing on landscape, large scale, high- Aboriginal, European historical value, subdivisions, small blocks of rise residential, resorts, leading to demolition of historic land.

  • Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community
    Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community Engagement – Paths, Trails and Footpaths Inverloch and Cape Paterson Complete the concrete pathway to the Inverloch surf club before someone is run over by a car Add a cycle path/lane to the Cape Pat-Inverloch road Footpaths in Inverloch on every road and bins at beach exits Sort the walking/ bike path to Cape Paterson out as a high priority. It's one of the missing links in growing tourism and would provide another health and wellbeing option for the locals. The section along surf parade and up to the RACV Club entrance. Finish the footpath from Ayr Creek to Invy Surf Beach Inverloch needs more FOOTPATHS up near the highway end of town! There's nothing worse than having to use a mobility scooter on the road.... It's frightening! Not to mention it's actually illegal! So come on how about paving the place!! - Also please extend the walking track along Surf Pde Inverloch. Invest in footpaths in Inverloch down Toorak Road. This a community that likes to walk and exercise and people's safety is at risk as they walk with prams, run and walk into town along the road, as they have no other option. Invest some of our capital works budget in the wellbeing and safety of residents and visitors. There are nature strips on either side so no reason why this cannot be achieved - Jan Martin (resident and ratepayer) This should be a high priority as Toorak Road carries a lot of pedestrian traffic. With sun glare and shade cast by trees it is extremely dangerous as drivers have difficulty spotting pedestrians as well as keeping their eye on traffic and parked vehicles.

  • 34 Mcrae Drive, Dalyston, Lot 1 on TP 545826
    Ian and Joy Brown 3 Danube Close Skye 3977 Victoria Attention: Planning Department Bass Coast Shire Council PO Box 118 Wonthaggi 3995 Victoria Re: Objection to “notice of application for planning permit. Reference number 200020” 34 McRae Drive, Dalyston, Lot 1 on TP 545826 Our objection is based on: - Future precedent and inappropriate intensification of the estate - The effect it will have on the consistency of style and build form of the estate. - The unknown - How do we know the development is going to be appropriate for the estate and our future home? - Not maintaining the “village character of Dalyston” - Blatant disregard for Shire adopted strategies and discussion papers. For us, the primary reason for our purchase was an affordable block (36 McCrae Drive/Lot 44) in a rural setting, with easy access to the beautiful Bass Coast and the services of Wonthaggi township. We purchased the parcel understandably knowing it was smaller residential block. We did not ever assume that the already small parcel next door was going to get divided to two approximately 308m2 size parcels. The intensification of the property is inappropriate, and we see it as impossible for the future developments to meet an appropriate level, and comparable built form to other developments in Stage 5. As stated in the Dalyston structure plan 2018 “The development of Dalyston has been largely influenced by its rural setting, which offers the town a village-like character”. Any future development on this property, if subdivided, will see houses fence to fence making it impossible to retain the existing character of the township.
