4.6.5 MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTRE The Major Activity Centre is conceptualised to provide: the full range of convenience and comparison retail, anchored by discount department stores, supermarkets, speciality stores and bulky goods stores; a wide range of community facilities and services, education services and health services; entertainment space, including a tavern and associated cinema; employment opportunities, including commercial and government offices. This will create a vibrant, cultural heart active throughout the day and night. The Major Activity Centre is designed to provide services for the Armstrong Creek population and service parts of the Surf Coast Shire, particularly its existing escape expenditure. However, the Centre will complement the Geelong CAA. The Armstrong Creek Major Activity Centre will perform a similar role to Waurn Ponds but have a largely distinct catchment, which is notionally defined by the rail line. As a result, it is estimated that the Major Activity Centre will: accommodate approximately 35,000 sqm of retail space; target approximately 25,000 sqm of restricted retail space; target approximately 7,000 sqm of entertainment space; target approximately 35,000 sqm of office space; and target approximately 35,000 sqm of community services space. Other key elements include high-density housing, a town square, a possible future public transport interchange on a proposed new high-quality public transport link and a local transit route linking it with the whole growth area. Provision has also been made for a private school immediately south of the centre. It is planned that commercial activity will cluster in the centre proper but also line Torquay Road as far north as the existing rail line, forming a node and strip of supporting commercial activity but excluding bulky goods. The Major Activity Centre will be located alongside Torquay Road. Key elements of the rationale for its location are: ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 80
Central part of Armstrong Creek catchment, accessible from all development cells. Unique catchment to nearest competitor at Waurn Ponds. Location adjoining Torquay Road to capture expenditure from Surf Coast Shire (first intervening opportunity for north bound trips). Positioned just off Torquay Road to encourage development of an integrated and pedestrian oriented precinct. Location adjacent proposed high-quality public transport link. Location adjacent Armstrong Creek parkland to provide associated recreational opportunities and attractive walking and cycling connections. This area can expect to hold approximately 3,034 jobs. The job mix will be focused on service, managerial, professional and clerical jobs. 4.6.6 NORTH EASTERN NEIGHBOURHOOD ACTIVITY CENTRE The North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre is conceptualised to accommodate a single supermarket that is associated with complementary convenience retailing, business services and community services. This centre has the potential to grow beyond the recommended size of 7,000 sqm retail if market forces are free to dictate growth. If uncapped, this centre could grow early in the development process and absorb some of the catchment that is designed to be allocated to the South Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre and the Major Activity Centre. In order to encourage a larger number of smaller centres, and thus encourage walking and non car based activity centre trips, it is recommended that the retail floorspace of the North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre be capped. It is estimated that the North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre will: require a cap of 7,000 sqm of retail space; be associated with approximately 1,400 sqm of business and community service space; incorporate 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; ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 81
