armstrong creek urban growth plan volume 1 - City of Greater Geelong

P 6.3 A mixed-use corridor should be provided along Torquay Road,
excluding bulky goods retailers, but containing offices and highdensity
residential accommodation.
P 6.4 Two Neighbourhood Activity Centres should be developed, one on
Horseshoe Bend Road (the “North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity
Centre”) and one on Barwon Heads Road, (the “South Eastern
Neighbourhood Activity Centre”). Each of these centres should
contain convenience retailing, business and community services, and
high-density residential accommodation. In particular, the
Neighbourhood Activity Centres should contain:
o
a single supermarket;
o a government primary school and associated local sporting facilities
jointly used by the community; and
o
a ‘family hub’ of children and family support services including parenting
support, child health services, medical, community health and wellness
services, as well as other flexible spaces for use by all lifecycle groups.
Retail floorspace in the North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre
should be capped at 7,000m 2 .
P 6.5 Local centres should be developed in areas that have relatively poor
access to the three primary centres, including at Marshall Station and
the possible future public transport interchange at Rossack Drive, and
adjacent to the aged care facility near Torquay Road. All local centres
should contain:
o
local shops (at least a multi-purpose ‘corner’ store);
o a government primary school and associated local sporting facilities
jointly used by the community (except at Marshall, where an additional
school is not required); and
o a ‘family hub’ of children and family support services associated with
kindergarten, child care, maternal and child health.
P 6.6 Additional multi-purpose ‘corner’ stores co-located with a local park
should be provided within 400 metres of all dwellings.
P 6.7 Three ‘Specialised Local Centres’ should be developed to service the
proposed employment areas. These centres should contain services
such as cafes and restaurants to serve the needs of the workforce,
along with higher job density activities such as research and
development.
