A new planning scheme amendment aims to create funding and investment opportunities that support local industry and encourage new business in Corangamite Shire.
Amendment C65 lays the strategic foundation for development of the Camperdown Production Precinct.
Deputy Mayor and Leura Ward Councillor Laurie Hickey said the amendment implements the 'Camperdown Production Precinct Masterplan (2024)' by making a number of changes to the 'Corangamite Shire Planning Scheme'.
"The amendment covers 14.52 ha east of Timboon Creek and north of Old-Geelong Road, divided by Depot Road," Cr Hickey said.
"The amendment proposes to rezone land from Farming Zone to Industrial 1 Zone, allowing for greater use for industrial purposes.
"It also applies the Design and Development Overlay Schedule 9 introduces built form and siting guidelines for all new development in the precinct.
"It adds the Camperdown Production Precinct Masterplan (February 2024) as a background document and makes some minor changes to wording that will clarify strategic direction."
Cr Hickey said community members can inspect the amendment, supporting documents and an explanatory report at:
- www.planning.vic.gov.au/public-inspection or by calling the Department of Transport and Planning on 1800 789 386; and
- at the Civic Centre in Camperdown during office hours.
"Anybody can make a written submission supporting or opposing the amendment and suggesting changes."
