problem
Population growth in coastal towns is expected to continue to grow for the foreseeable future due to continued interest in the natural environment of the region.
Torquay-Jan Juc is the only coastal city in Charles that can accommodate significant growth. Winchelsea also has capacity and infrastructure to accommodate growth.
The growth of coastal towns from Anglesea to Lorne is limited by physical, environmental and forest fires, including the Great Otway National Park and the desire to preserve the coastal landscape of the natural landscape between these urban settlements.
Surf Coast Shire is located in one of the world’s most vulnerable jungle fires, and forest-covered land poses a forest fire threat to the towns of Deans Marsh and Bellbrae.
The coastal town of Anglesea leads to Lorne, including the western edge of Jan Juc.
Development pressures and insensitive suburban style development are threatening the characteristics of coastal towns that residents and tourists value.
Insensitivity and inappropriate development are often due to inadequate understanding of local characteristics and stemming from inadequate analysis of the environment in which the property is located.
In the summer, tourists and absent holiday home owners experienced a massive expansion of the coastal population. During this period, the peak night population is estimated to have almost tripled, and major changes have taken place in family structure and service and facility needs.
A large part of the housing in coastal towns is not permanently occupied, but as a holiday home.
These settlements are highly car-dependent communities with limited public transport services throughout the Shire and townships.
Outdoor recreation and entertainment opportunities are an important aspect of the desirability and livability of the Surf Coast area.
There is increasing pressure to build large retail stores (such as supermarkets, discount department stores, and large retail stores) inside and outside designated event centers.
Pedestrian and bicycle lane facilities between the entire settlement and the settlement are limited and poorly designed.
The demand for summer parking in coastal towns is much higher than in winter.
Due to the growth and development of the city, especially in the reconstruction of higher density, the coastal town heritage sites are lost.
Re-development, different from people’s character and values
Heritage site
aims
Activity center planning
To support a powerful, versatile, accessible, accessible event center, the entire municipality can provide the best facilities for residents and visitors, and maintain a vibrant and sustainable local economy.
Encourage a variety of entertainment and entertainment opportunities throughout the city
This is in line with the social, economic and cultural characteristics of the local community.
Billing mode
Ensure that urban development minimizes environmental impacts, minimizes the impact of environmental risks, and effectively uses land, infrastructure and resources, and concentrates on accessible locations.
Neighbor character
Individual coastal township characteristics that protect low urban density, implicit architectural forms, ecological values of vegetation coastal landscapes and natural environments, and inappropriate urban development.
heritage
Protect the cultural heritage of Charles and enhance the community’s appreciation of the history and development of the region.
Open space and infrastructure
Ensure that the landscape and development methods of the open space are in line with local characteristics and use forest fire mitigation measures when relevant.
Establish an existing transportation system in a way that reduces vehicle dependence, encourage walking and cycling for local travel, and integrate road traffic and public transportation.
Space and manage summer travel/vacation peaks.
Promote the timely provision of a range of community and recreational facilities to meet the needs of local residents and promote community health and cohesion.
Strategy
Activity center planning
Ensuring the design and scale of the event center to include the local characteristics of the town or community in which they are located.
Promote various uses and activities within the activity centre to support local employment opportunities and make towns more self-sufficient, thereby reducing dependence on motor vehicles.
Encourage the use of horizontal and vertical mixes in the event centre, including the use of the basement and appropriate high-rise offices and apartments.
Provides a flexible, built-in form that complements native features and evolves over time to meet current and future needs.
Promote diversified residential opportunities, including medium-density housing, affordable housing and housing for the elderly, close to the event center.
Promote the establishment of neighborhood activity centres in new growth areas where appropriate, providing a range of retail, commercial and community facilities to serve local residents.
Ensuring that the architectural styles of large retail stores are integrated with the surrounding area by “packages” by smaller retail units (eg, shops, cafes) that are consistent with the general rhythm and scale of the street and have an active front.
Limit the visual impact of large-scale parking lots from major roads, place them on the side or rear of the building, and block large areas of parking lots through landscapes and shades.
Ensuring landscaping, including shade trees, combined with parking, open spaces and street design.
Parking spaces are required at all centers to meet projected normal demand rather than peak (seasonal) demand.
Optimize the effective use of land by maximizing basement and rooftop parking spaces, on-street parking and the opportunity to share parking between centers.
Make sure that pedestrians, cyclists and public transport in the surrounding neighborhoods have easy access to the event centre.
Promote high levels of pedestrian penetration and comfort in the event center.
Bicycle storage facilities are available in an easily identifiable location.
Ensuring that advertising signage is consistent with the surrounding urban environment in terms of size, format, materials, color and lighting, with the aim of minimizing visual clutter by integrating into the development of the entire architectural form.
Ensuring the location of the video game console does not compromise the social, economic and cultural well-being of the community.
Billing mode
Designate Torquay-Jan Juc and Winchelsea as the main urban growth centers for Charles.
Maintain a clear non-urban break between towns and villages, especially Geelong and Torquay and coastal settlements.
Neighborhood feature
Ensure that residential development density is compatible with the protection of indigenous vegetation and historical vegetation
The neighborhood features of surfing coast settlements.
In all development projects, coastal towns in all coastal towns and coastal areas are encouraged.
Recognize the key role that vegetation plays in determining township characteristics and softening urban development.
heritage
Promote conservation management plans for key or complex heritage sites before seeking planning and building permits and engineering
Open space and infrastructure
Priority is given to the use of indigenous cultivation in open space landscapes and, where appropriate, with appropriate public works of art to reflect this.
Avoid landscaping in a continuous, continuous manner, where open space networks are at risk of being connected to jungle fires or in close proximity to forest fires.
Encourage the delivery and coordination of public transport to best meet the needs of local and regional communities.
Make sure to provide open space in all new partitions, paying particular attention to identifying specific community needs.
Prepare to allocate social infrastructure within township community centers to meet local needs and ensure access for all
fulfill
The strategy will be implemented in the following ways:
Use policy and exercise discretion
The neighborhood features of the coastal town of Torquay-Jan Juc to Lorne are required to be considered in all development applications within these settlements.
Use the Street View and Landscaping Policy, Section 22.02 to promote the preferred neighborhood and streetscape features of the urban area.
Request for new developments and external alterations to existing buildings to comply with important statements regarding the relevant heritage sites listed on Surf Coast Shire Heritage
Study Phase 2B – Statement of Meaning, incorporated into the document in July 2009.
Request for new works by Barrabool Barrabool Road 1135 (external painting, interior renovation and changes in the mature garden environment) taking into account the ‘Barrabool Union
(Former Presbyterian Church) Church and Manse: Heritage Assessment, 2014 Reference Document.
Operational and management plans are required to maintain and maintain the relevant infrastructure, including drainage systems, open spaces, landscaping and road reserves.
A range of batch sizes is needed in the greenfield segment to encourage housing diversity and avoid future application to Tomahawk segmentation.
Strongly discourage the establishment of large retail stores outside the designated event center.
Use of the Game Policy (Section 22.08) to ensure that the use or installation of video game consoles does not adversely affect or exacerbate the culture or characteristics of the township
Problem gambling.
Application area and overlay
Apply design and development overlays to Torquay and Jan Juc to ensure that development helps prioritize neighborhood features.
Apply neighborhood character overlays to Lorne, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven to protect the coastal features of these towns.
Design and development overlays are applied to Moggs Creek and Eastern View to protect the coastal features of these towns.
Significant landscape coverage is applied to protect the low density vegetation features of Anglesea and Lorne.
Apply important landscape cover to protect the vegetation landscape in the middle of Torquay and Jan Juc.
Apply important landscape overlays to protect the view of the Bayview River in Winchelsea.
The application environment covers the protection of important vegetation and habitats in the coastal towns of Torquay / Jan Juc, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven, Moggs Creek and Lorne.
Apply heritage overlays to protect heritage sites of great significance.
Further strategic work
Monitor supply and demand for residential and industrial land to ensure adequate land supply.
The Torquay-Jan Juc and Winchelsea structural plans are regularly reviewed to ensure proper planning and accommodation for the urban development of these towns.
Other behavior
Develop sustainable urban coastal design and segmentation guidelines to inform policy implementation and use of educational materials.
Complete an assessment of the importance of the heritage of the nominated site and conduct further scope studies to identify any other potentially significant areas.

problem
Loss and degradation of biodiversity and ecosystem processes and functions.
Loss and fragmentation of indigenous vegetation, including threatened ecological communities and habitats of animals and plants, as well as loss of native vegetation and loss of biodiversity.
The number of rare and threatened species continues to decline, including species unique to Otways and Surf Coast Shire.
By increasing plaque area, improving connectivity, reducing soil erosion and weed management, especially in the Deans Marsh, Bambra and Pennyroyal areas, increased agroforestry and sustainable agricultural practices have led to significant improvements in residual vegetation patches.
Degradation of land and water, including sand dunes and cliff erosion, dryland salinity, soil depletion and waterlogging.
The social and recreational uses of the coast threaten the inherent value of the coastal and marine environment.
Declining linear biolinks, such as road reserves, rail lines, streams and drainage lines, connecting residual vegetation, larger reserves and water bodies that help sustain
Diversity and connected isolated habitats.
Threats to the health of waterways and wetlands, estuaries and marine ecosystems.
Urban and rural flood management.
The impact of salinity hotspots on biodiversity, water quality, agricultural production, buildings and infrastructure.
By changing the hydrological process, the impact on the natural growth of saline-alkali areas such as lakes, estuaries, coastal wetlands and salt marshes is developed.
Due to the dense vegetation cover, emergency vehicles are difficult to access, the terrain is steep, the development of bush/city junctions is exposed, and the high traffic during the fire season, the risk of jungle fires in urban and rural areas.
Coastal towns face the potential of landscape-scale forest fires, including jungle fires that infiltrate towns and villages.
High visitor visits to areas with high risk of bush fires, especially during the forest fire risk season.
Responses to forest fire mitigation measures increase the loss of native vegetation.
Impacts of climate change on forest fire risk and sea level rise and coastal biodiversity.
Invasion of pests by plants and animals has an impact on the biodiversity, landscape values and productivity of agricultural land in coastal protected areas and jungle areas.
aims
Environmental assets
For the present and future generations, protect and enhance the diverse natural resources of Charles in an ecologically sustainable way.
Environmental risk
Manage the risks of environmental hazards, including forest fires, salinity and floods, to avoid adverse consequences for both natural and man-made environments.
Strategy
Environmental assets
Retain and strengthen buffers for riparian and wetlands with adequate and adequate vegetation, and preserve natural drainage and waterway corridors and vegetation buffers to prevent
Nutrients and sediments enter waterways, lakes, wetlands and estuaries and slow down runoff.
Promote an environmental buffer near the Great Otway National Park.
Avoid expanding settlements or enhancing development at locations identified as containing biodiversity assets, unless the assets are not dispersed or otherwise compromised and can be protected and incorporated into the proposed open space network.
Ensure that coastal and nearby developments are compatible with the environmental values, visual characteristics and comfort of the coastal environment and enhance their environmental value.
Identify and protect buffer zones for coastal vegetation communities that may be affected by coastal climate change impacts to allow vegetation communities (such as Saltmarshes) to migrate to land.
Improve the ecological connectivity of the entire landscape, connect scattered habitats, and strengthen the ecosystem’s ability to adapt to climate change.
Encourage continuous protection, strengthen and rebuild local vegetation.
Encourage the management of harmful pests and animals, including the removal of environmental weeds found in the 2013 Surf Coast County Weeds.
Encourage the reuse and retention of rainwater in urban environments to reduce the impact on downstream hydrology.
Environmental risk
Dissuasion of buildings, works, land use and subdivisions is detrimental to the maintenance of the natural systems of land affected by floods and floods.
Directly plan new urban growth areas away from saline-alkali land.
Minimize development on land in or near natural salt waterways, including wetlands, to prevent degradation.
Dissuading land use and development that may aggravate or initiate salinity, taking into account salinity risks and taking appropriate measures to mitigate any adverse effects.
Avoid rezoning and developing land for urban purposes with high risk of flooding.
Support a limited range of sustainability and social equity, coastal dependence, recreation and tourism activities at appropriate locations to complement and promote the natural and cultural values of the coast.
Guide new urban growth areas and break away from the dangers of jungle fires.
Avoid increased development in areas where forest fires are at risk, including proximity to or adjacent to national park/urban settlement interfaces.
Ensuring that development is permitted only if the forest fire reduces the risk of life, property and community infrastructure to an acceptable level and forest fire protection measures can be implemented at any time.
Ensure that use and development (including social activities) take due account of fire, safety and management measures to minimize the risks to life and property caused by special activities or developments that are concentrated in large numbers of people.
