From the Media release, Tuesday, 12 October 2010
At last night's meeting City of Greater Geelong Councillors supported the preparation of Amendment C188 to assist in the development of the Jetty Road Neighbourhood Activity Centre.
Planning portfolio holder Cr Andrew Katos said the proposal was for a combined planning permit and amendment applying to part of the land at 148-166 Jetty Road in Drysdale.
"The amendment seeks to rezone the land from Residential 1 to Business 1 Zone, and to apply a cap on floor area able to be leased in the activity centre," he said.
"The amendment also includes an application to include Jetty Road Neighbourhood Activity Centre as a strip shopping centre where gaming machines are prohibited."
"A further Design and Development overlay has been requested to ensure that any development is consistent with the Jetty Road Urban Growth Plan."
"Key issues such as maintaining view, integration with the adjoining park, pedestrian usage and amenity will be properly addressed in this overlay," said Cr Katos.
The cap on floor area able to be leased has been included to ensure that the Neighbourhood Activity Centre is limited in scale and the area's retail centre hierarchy is maintained.
The proposed planning permit involves a two lot subdivision that will avoid the amendment resulting in one title being two zones.
Amendment C188 is considered to be consistent with the Jetty Road Urban Growth Plan (pdf 5mb) and the Development Plan Overlay (Greater Geelong Planning Scheme - Amendment C152 - Panel Report - August 2009 - pdf 1.01mb) that applies to the land.
Exhibition of Amendment C188 and accompanying Planning Permit will be subject to Ministerial Authorisation.
More information about Amendment C188 is available. The Minutes of the meeting were not available at this time.
Update - 19 October 2010 - the Minutes of the Meeting held 12 October 2010 are now available in pdf format from the Geelong Council's website.
