Design and Development Overlay 14 is back on the Geelong Council Agenda tonight

Design and Development Overlay 14 (DDO14) - Dwellings over 7.5m Review is scheduled as Item 3 on the Geelong Council Agenda tonight.


The (DDO14) control within the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme requires dwellings over 7.5m in height to obtain planning approval prior to construction.


Drysdale and Clifton Springs are affected - refer previous post on this for map. 
Recommendation is that Council:


1. Prepare an amendment (C245) to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, subject to authorisation, to:
a) Amend the MSS as required including deleting reference to further work (DDO14 review) in clause 21.06-6;
b) Draft a new schedule to the Design and Development Overlay (based on the document version in Appendix 2) which relates to areas identified as having access to views in the municipality and tailored objectives and decision guidelines to assist decision making;
c) Update the planning scheme maps (based on the maps in Appendix 1) to apply the DDO to the identified areas and delete it from all others;
d) Delete DDO14 from the area covered by SLO8;
e) Include the DDO14 over 114-158 The Avenue (south side of the street only) and 84 & 86 Tuckfield Street Ocean Grove.


I wonder if they will have a quorum tonight on this issue?
