These strategies will be implemented in the following ways:
Use policy and exercise discretion
Effective settlement planning guides urban development and adds development to areas with the lowest environmental risks and areas where new urban development has the least impact on environmental assets.
Need to assess the risks of existing residents, property and community infrastructure from forest fires and will not increase due to future land use and development
appropriate.
It is required to integrate and connect natural values and habitats, including creeks and residual vegetation areas, within an open space network when appropriate.
Use the Surf Coast Shire’s “Organization Guide” to encourage the use of native plant species in landscape planning.
Environmental management plans are required to be developed by suitably qualified professionals as part of any application for significant development or rezoning in the vicinity of environmentally sensitive areas.
All recommendations are required to comply with the requirements of Clause 14.02-1 (Catchment Planning and Management), retaining natural drainage corridors, vegetation buffers at least 30 m wide along both sides of the waterway to maintain natural drainage functions, stream habitats and wildlife corridors and Landscape values to minimize erosion on river banks and edges and to reduce contaminated surface runoff from adjacent land uses.
Land management plans are required to demonstrate optimal farm and environmental management practices through the development and segmentation of rural areas.
Request for a salinity impact report to be able to significantly alter any land use and development of the surface water and groundwater hydrological flow patterns from map 1 to the areas indicated in this article – “potential salinity impact areas” and take measures to mitigate expansion The production of existing areas affected by salinity or new areas affected by salinity.
It is required that the uninhabitable buildings in areas susceptible to flooding be aligned such that their longitudinal axes are parallel to the predicted flood flow direction.
In flood-prone areas, for residential extensions of more than 20 square meters and below the nominal flood protection level, the owner is required to:
– Agreement with the Council under Article 173 of the 1987 Plan and Environmental Law that the ground level is below the nominal flood control level and that the owner is fully responsible for any damage caused by the flood. The agreement must be registered on the title; and
– Use waterproof materials designed for flood protection and any possible flow rate impact.
Application area and overlay
The application environment covers the protection of important wetlands, waterways and residual vegetation and habitats in the hinterland and coastal towns.
A vegetation protection cover is applied to protect important native vegetation.
On the Great Ocean Road, Bells Beach and the Addis Abbas hinterland use important landscape coverage to protect important native vegetation and habitats in areas of high landscape significance.
Apply environmental significance to a special water supply catchment area to protect and maintain water quality and production in the catchment area.
Flood cover or submerged land is applied to land identified as prone to flooding by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority.
Apply salinity management coverage to salinity and saline-alkali wetlands or major salinity assets.
Apply environmental significance to saline-alkali wetlands and major salinity assets of environmental value.
Apply forest fire management coverage to areas where extreme forest fires can occur.
Further strategic work
Review current applications in agricultural areas, rural protected areas and rural living areas to ensure that land containing important biodiversity assets is properly classified.
Other behavior
Work with the National Fire Department and the Ministry of Environment, Land, Water and Planning to continuously improve the effectiveness of Bushfire management coverage.
Work with Corangamite CMA and the Ministry of Environment and Primary Industries to study the implementation of erosion management cover and appropriate cover to address coastal acid sulfate soil problems.
Continue to investigate water reuse opportunities in the public and private sectors and work with relevant state and regional authorities.

problem
Coastal areas, environmental values and the scenic advantages of the surf coast provide support for tourism.
Tourism benefits the community by injecting funds into the local economy, providing employment opportunities, improving facilities, creating business opportunities and stimulating improved transport services.
As tourism development seeks to take advantage of the environmental and landscape values of nature and agricultural tourism in the rural hinterland, the focus of tourism is expanding while providing diverse opportunities for struggling rural businesses.
Great Otway National Park offers opportunities for the development of nature and adventure, around a variety of passive and active entertainment options
For visitors.
The benefits of tourism need to be balanced against potential negative impacts, including: – through loss of comfort, overburdened services, infrastructure pressure (water supply, wastewater treatment, waste disposal, roads, parking lots) and the impact of the environment on local communities Damage; – The pressure of high-density and larger-scale urban tourism development can be compromised. Low-scale and vegetation characteristics of coastal townships; – Pressure on tourism development in rural and environmentally sensitive areas in coastal and rural hinterlands, which may endanger the natural environment, landscape values and agricultural activities. – Extremely high and extreme forest fire risk areas The pressure of tourism development.
The concentration of tourist visitors depends on peak holidays, day trips and the coast.
Hotel and travel service providers strive to fill job vacancies and internal staff, especially during peak hours.
Increased traffic on the Great Ocean Road (especially during the forest fire season) leads to traffic congestion, traffic hazards and emergency response difficulties.
The Caravan Park is a major part of the affordable tourist accommodation in Charles.
However, privately owned RV parks face an uncertain future due to financial and development pressures.
purpose
Tourism Development
Strengthen and expand tourism while protecting Charles’s environment, landscape and cultural values, and the lifestyles of its residents.
Strategy
Tourism Development
Find high-profile, high-volume tourism development projects in appropriate urban areas to best meet their impact and infrastructure requirements.
In addition to the settlement boundaries, avoid tourism and other commercial facilities subject to major landscape coverage Schedule 1 or cancel important indigenous residences
Vegetation cannot be avoided or reduced appropriately.
Restrict non-agricultural tourism development to the coastal hinterland of Lorne and other selected rural areas. These developments are based on small-scale, natural and adventurous tourism activities and accommodations that are compatible with natural processes and are designed to minimize the risk of exposure and forest fires.
Encourage the development of agricultural tourism in the rural hinterland to assist the diversification of the rural economy. This type of development is small and directly related to the rural/agricultural environment.
Ensuring that new tourism development uses high quality, low intensity, unobtrusive, on-site responsive buildings and works in accordance with ecologically sustainable design principles.
Encourage use and development, increase visitor time and increase the number of visitors during off-peak hours.
Promote the provision of appropriate infrastructure to support tourism.
Encourage the development of a variety of quality tourist accommodations and facilities to meet the changing needs of visitors.
Consider providing a caravan park in an appropriate location to provide affordable tourist accommodation.

The strategy will be implemented in the following ways:
Use policy and exercise discretion
When deciding on a non-urban tourism development application, please consider:
– The development of tourism in the Shire agricultural area is usually small in scale and does not affect the agricultural use of the land.
– Tourism development should be of a nature, design and site selection to avoid conflicts with existing rural uses, protect rural landscapes and environmental values, avoid the loss of high-quality agricultural land, and be close to existing towns.
– Tourism development should improve the environmental conditions of the land by protecting and rebuilding native vegetation and controlling pests and animals, erosion, salinity, rainwater and nutrient runoff. This should be demonstrated by the development and implementation of a management plan.
Do not encourage tourism development:
– major agricultural areas, especially in open rural landscape areas,
– Areas at risk of jungle fires unless the risk to life, property and infrastructure is reduced to an acceptable level.
Dissuasion to strengthen tourism development, among which:
– Unavoidable losses to biodiversity assets,
– Unable to manage the risks of a jungle fire.
Application area and overlay
The application of special-purpose areas to towns is particularly suitable for more concentrated tourism development. Application design and development coverage to enhance the design and construction of the tourist area.
Application environment importance overlay, vegetation protection coverage and important landscape overlays to identify important biodiversity assets.
Apply Bushfire Management Overlay to areas where extreme forest fires can occur.
Further strategic work
To develop a sustainable design guide for tourism development in rural areas.
Other behavior
Investigate the DPCD program to expand the limited range of tourism opportunities in rural protected areas to support the environmental outcomes of the land.
