The future <strong>of</strong> this land should be confirmed after the alignment <strong>of</strong> the link road is<br />
determined by VicRoads and take into account amenity issues created by the road.<br />
Land that falls outside (south) <strong>of</strong> the proposed east-west link should be reviewed at<br />
the same time.<br />
6.4 WEST OF GHAZEEPORE ROAD<br />
A large area <strong>of</strong> land in the Special Use Zone (SUZ7 - Extractive Industry) is located<br />
west <strong>of</strong> Ghazeepore Road outside the <strong>growth</strong> area. This land is owned by Blue<br />
Circle Cement Quarry which operates a quarry further west near Anglesea Road.<br />
It is possible that quarrying activity could eventually move closer to Ghazeepore<br />
Road and the <strong>growth</strong> area. The UGP provides industrial, sporting and rural land<br />
uses to the east <strong>of</strong> Ghazeepore Road. These land uses will provide a buffer<br />
between future residential areas and quarry activities. This area will also<br />
potentially provide for alternate connection to Surf Coast Highway via a realignment<br />
<strong>of</strong> Anglesea Road.<br />
6.5 SOUTH OF MT/ LOWER DUNEED ROAD<br />
The UGP proposes that rural land uses be maintained in the area along Mt<br />
Duneed/ Lower Duneed Road within the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Geelong</strong>. This will<br />
complement the ‘green wedge’ <strong>of</strong> rural land provided in the Surf Coast Shire<br />
between the northern edge <strong>of</strong> Torquay and Mount Duneed. A non-<strong>urban</strong> break or<br />
‘green wedge’ will help maintain the individual identities <strong>of</strong> Torquay and <strong>Geelong</strong><br />
and preserve the rural scenery and agricultural productivity <strong>of</strong> the area.<br />
The UGP approach complements the Torquay Jan Juc Structure Plan (July 2006),<br />
which provides an Urban Growth Boundary limiting the <strong>urban</strong> expansion <strong>of</strong> Torquay<br />
to Blackgate Road. The distance between the two <strong>growth</strong> boundaries is<br />
approximately 4 to 5 km.<br />
