client: warnambool city council

description of project

Warrnambool City Council engaged hansen and Hyder Consulting to undertake a Structure Plan for the area defined as the ‘Warrnambool Eastern Activity Precinct’ at the eastern extent of Warrnambool. The need for the Eastern Activity Precinct Structure Plan was highlighted as one of the key recommendations of the Panel Hearing in relation to Warrnambool Planning Scheme Amendments C28, C31 and C32, which sought to rezone Residential and Rural land to Business Use.

The aim of the project was to develop a Structure Plan to guide the integrated development of the Warrnambool Eastern Activity Precinct. The Plan will guide the major changes in land use, built form and public spaces that together will achieve economic, social and environmental objectives for the Precinct for over a 20 year period.

The project was initiated and funded by the Warrnambool City Council and engaged with all key land owners and stakeholders within the Eastern Activity Precinct through site visits and a series of interactive planning and design workshops held in June and July 2004.
