outes for walking and cycling. Together, these areas will create an attractive and distinctive setting for development. ‘Urban forests’ created by revegetated areas will absorb the inevitable carbon-based emissions from buildings and vehicles in Armstrong Creek. 2.5 COMMUNITY Armstrong Creek will offer a wide range of living and lifestyle options to meet the needs of a full cross-section of the community. These will range from detached houses on family-sized blocks to apartments close to major shops and services, and include accommodation for the retired, aged, mobility-impaired and, potentially, Deakin University students. Higher-density housing, such as townhouses, will be clustered in areas close to public transport nodes and activity centres, maintaining the more traditional character of other residential areas. Affordable and social housing will be dotted through the development to integrate it within the community. The scale of the new development will enable the provision of a comprehensive range of community facilities and services such as schools, a library, medical centres and meeting spaces. These will reflect leading edge thinking in terms of efficient and convenient service delivery. Community facilities and services to serve the new community will be provided early in the life of the development to ensure convenient access for new residents. Community groups will be established to encourage a sense of community and provide input into future decisions about its development. Armstrong Creek will be a learning community. It will foster ‘lifelong learning’ through not only a comprehensive matrix of education facilities but also the social institutions and organisations that support an inquiring and creative lifestyle. This culture of learning will create a climate that is conducive to the establishment of new enterprise, harnessing people’s imagination and talent to cultivate a durable, ‘home grown’ economy. 2.6 ECONOMY Central Geelong and established industrial areas outside Armstrong Creek—such as North Geelong, Moolap, Breakwater and St Albans Park—will provide employment for some Armstrong Creek residents. However, local jobs will also be provided within Armstrong Creek to avoid the creation of a commuter suburb. A significant proportion of these jobs will be generated by the needs of the local community—such as retail and services located in traditional centres and light industry in separate estates. However, Armstrong Creek will also offer opportunities for businesses responding to broader needs such as warehousing and viticulture. Leading-edge communications infrastructure will be provided to ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 18
help attract high-technology businesses and assist people in working from home. Opportunities for businesses to utilise research undertaken at Deakin University will be explored, and a range of appropriate workspace and support services will be provided for people wishing to start their own business in the area. Initially, Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre will provide the main ‘higher order’ shopping centre for Armstrong Creek. However, as the community grows, new activity centres containing a broad range of shops and services will be developed to serve it, including another Major Activity Centre. These will be focused on leafy, pedestrian-friendly ‘mainstreets’ that provide an ‘experience’ in themselves. Footpaths will be broad, enabling outdoor dining, trees and places to rest, and verandahs will provide shelter and shade. 2.7 OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION Armstrong Creek will be a healthy, active community. A comprehensive network of open space and recreation facilities will be provided within easy reach of all homes and workplaces. This will range from active sports facilities to informal parks for quiet contemplation. Playing fields will be provided in each neighbourhood and in larger, regional-scale facilities. A range of indoor recreation facilities will also be provided. Local parks and children’s playgrounds will be distributed within a short walk of every home. Opportunities will also be provided to ‘escape’ from the urban environment and enjoy nature—particularly the stands of remnant native vegetation and revegetated river and creek corridors. Linking all of these open space and recreation facilities together will be a web of leisure trails and more direct walking and cycling paths, contributing to the formation of a healthy community. 2.8 TRANSPORT The potential will be explored for improvements to Marshall Station and for new, high-quality public transport services to serve the Armstrong Creek community. Public transport services will be provided from the outset. Development will be organised to ensure that all homes are within a short walk of public transport, reducing reliance on private cars. Torquay Road, Barwon Heads Road and a future link to the Geelong Ring Road will be developed as urban boulevards, continuing to provide good access into and out of the Armstrong Creek area without severing the communities on either side. Additional main roads will be developed to provide good vehicle access throughout the growth area. ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 19
