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

contain a 3.5ha primary school that provides opportunities for schools
and community partners to work together and share the use of school
facilities, for example, library or resource centre, hall or meeting
spaces, performing arts spaces, information technology centre, local
sporting facilities jointly used by the community; create spaces to
support school-aged holiday, before and after school programs; and
co-locate pre-school centres on school grounds.
The South East Neighbourhood Activity Centre will be located adjacent to Barwon
Heads Road. Key elements of the rationale for its location are:
Central part of a south-eastern sub catchment.
Unique catchment to North Eastern Neighbourhood Activity Centre
and Major Activity Centre (for local supermarket level retailing).
The centre should be located at the intersection of two routes on the local public
transport system.
The local road network will be designed to provide convenient access to the centre
and ‘feed’ it with passing trade to support the viability of its businesses through
exposure.
This area can expect to hold approximately 248 jobs. The job mix will be focused
on service and clerical jobs.
4.6.8 LOCAL CENTRES WITHIN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The growth area will include local centres scattered throughout the residential
areas, focusing on areas that have relatively poor access to the three primary
centres. This includes nodes at Marshall Station and the possible future public
transport interchange at Rossack Drive.
At this level of the retail system, a larger number of smaller centres will encourage
walking trips and form important social foci for those in the immediate area. They
will assist in community building by providing a sense of community spirit and
belonging, and providing opportunities for social interaction, thus reducing social
isolation. They will also be important information resources.
These local nodes fall into three categories:
