Amendment C245 Greater Geelong Planning Scheme being prepared

Geelong Council is providing residents with the opportunity to view the amendment being prepared regarding dwellings over the height of 7.5 meters.

"The amendment seeks to implement the findings of the "Review of Design and Development Overlay 14 - Dwellings over 7.5 meters in height" (November 2010) and proposes to retain a modified DDO14 permanently in areas that have been identified as having access to significant views within the municipality..."

This includes areas within Clifton Springs and Drysdale.

You can inspect the amendment, supporting documents and the explanatory report at Ocean Grove customer service centre (as Drysdale is not open due to renovations) or on the Geelong Council website or on the Department of Planning and Community Development's website.

There will be a public drop in session at the Potato Shed on Thursday 10 November 2011 between 4 and 6pm.

Submissions close Monday 12 December 2011. They must be in writing and sent to The Coordinator, Strategic Implementation Unit, City of Greater Geelong, PO Box 104, Geelong, Vic 3220 or by email to: strategicplanning@geelongcity.vic.gov.au.
