  • Objection to the Golden Plains Shire Planning Amendment No C67 As It Relates to Barrabool Hills Localities Significant Landscape
    Objection to the Golden Plains Shire Planning Amendment No C67 as it Relates to Barrabool Hills Localities Significant Landscape Summary Basis of the Objection The planned Overlay is : Impractical Inexplicable Inappropriate Illogical Ill-conceived Unnecessary History The proposed planning amendment seeks to insert an overlay on land in the far south east of the Shire located on the South Side of the Hamilton Highway between Burnside Road and Merrawarp Road such that views of the Barrabool Hills from the Highway may not be obscured from travellers approaching Geelong from the West The amendment arises from work done by the Urban planning group Planisphere on behalf of the Victorian State Government This team generated a study known as the South West Victorian Landscape Assessment Study in 2013 and covered the region from the You Yangs to the South Australian border covering all or part of 14 Shires and covering almost 25% of Victoria. In all that area the study team found 37 significant landscapes and in all of Golden Plains only 3 locations and they totally missed the most photographed location in the Shire, the one location known across the world by image – The Dog Rocks at Batesford Objection in detail Impractical The object of the overlay in trying to protect the views of the Barrabool Hills as seen from the Hamilton Highway is impractical as the object of the view “the Barrabool Hills” is not within the Golden Plains Shire. Furthermore the Surf Coast Shire, the municipality in which the Barrabool Hills are in, has no overlays or protections of the “Hills” as regards views near or far.

  • Surf Coast Declaration Area Boundaries Advice
    Distinctive Areas & Landscapes Surf Coast Declaration Area: Boundaries Advice Consolidated Report : September2019 Introduction As part of the Distinctive Areas and Landscapes: Landscape Assessment Review Stage 1 (Scoping), Claire Scott Planning was engaged to provide advice on the proposed Surf Coast Declaration Area, and subsequent to that, on three additional ‘boundary investigation areas’. The boundary investigation areas were highlighted by the community during consultation and engagement as landscapes under threat and/or of significance, and required more detailed assessments to be undertaken as to whether they should be included in the Declaration Area. The three areas were: • Barrabool Hills • Thompson Valley (North) ‘green break’ - south of the Armstrong Creek growth area (and north of Mount Duneed Road and the Surf Coast Shire municipal boundary) • Lake Modewarre and surrounds This report is a consolidated version of all boundary advice provided to the Department on the Surf Coast Declaration Area.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 Barrabool Hills
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 Barrabool Hills Location: CERES VIC 3221 - Property No L10294 Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Barrabool Hills are a distinctive upland ridge located to the west of Geelong, on the south side of the Barwon River. They slope steeply on the northern side down to the Barwon River, and more gently southward to the coastal lowland. Numerous Aboriginal sites have been located in the area. The area today has an open pastoral landscape with few houses and few trees, contrasting with the more densely settled surrounding lowlands. There are extensive views, many of which have been depicted in well-known landscape paintings. The area has been the source of one of Victoria's most important building stones: the remains of quarries are still visible, and there are several stone buildings including cottages, barns and churches. The grassy woodlands attracted settlers from the late 1830s, and it was the home of the first vineyards in Victoria. The Barrabool Hills are significant for its aesthetic qualities and for geological and geomorphological reasons at Regional Level, The Barrabool Hills are significant for it strong association with indigenous peoples at a Regional Level. The Barrabool Hills are of historical importance at a Regional level. The Barrabool Hills are of high scenic quality, including views towards the hills from the surrounding area, such as those from Geelong, Victoria's second largest city, and from the shipping channels into Corio Bay. Being much higher than the land around they also offer long views from the hills outwards, particularly to the north, and there are striking internal views of an open, undulating pastoral landscape.

Port Phillip Bay lies in a tectonically controlled depression in which recurrent faulting has occurred from Palaeozoic to Recent time. Stratigraphic and geophysical evidence indicates maximum vertical displacement in the sunkland of more than 2,()()(i feet. Variations in Iithology and topographic relief affect the coastal landforms developed on the east and west. On the east coast, cliffs and shore platforms are n i common than on the west; beaches are broader and off-shore bars are largei and mure complex. Coastal sand ridges which are rank developed on the easl are common on the west. The submarine geology has been studied from fathograms and undei observations using aqualung equipment. Fifrj (ores were obtained in Recent marine sediments in the northern part of the bay. Main cores penetrated through Rec< sediments to older deposits with a fossil soil horizon.

  • Attachment 4D C67 Submission
    Objection to the Golden Plains Shire Planning Amendment No C67 as it Relates to Barrabool Hills Localities Significant Landscape Summary Basis of the Objection The planned Overlay is : Impractical Inexplicable Inappropriate Illogical Ill-conceived Unnecessary History The proposed planning amendment seeks to insert an overlay on land in the far south east of the Shire located on the South Side of the Hamilton Highway between Burnside Road and Merrawarp Road such that views of the Barrabool Hills from the Highway may not be obscured from travellers approaching Geelong from the West The amendment arises from work done by the Urban planning group Planisphere on behalf of the Victorian State Government This team generated a study known as the South West Victorian Landscape Assessment Study in 2013 and covered the region from the You Yangs to the South Australian border covering all or part of 14 Shires and covering almost 25% of Victoria. In all that area the study team found 37 significant landscapes and in all of Golden Plains only 3 locations and they totally missed the most photographed location in the Shire, the one location known across the world by image – The Dog Rocks at Batesford Objection in detail Impractical The object of the overlay in trying to protect the views of the Barrabool Hills as seen from the Hamilton Highway is impractical as the object of the view “the Barrabool Hills” is not within the Golden Plains Shire. Furthermore the Surf Coast Shire, the municipality in which the Barrabool Hills are in, has no overlays or protections of the “Hills” as regards views near or far.
