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 />
