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

up to approximately 1000 sqm of local convenience shops and
services or a multi-purpose store;
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;
local sporting facilities including an additional oval co-located with
school oval; and
‘family hub’ including children and family services associated with
kindergarten, child care, maternal and child health.
Local Shops
It is estimated that these will contain:
up to approximately 1000 sqm of local convenience shops and
services and other services considered desirable as part of Precinct
Structure Planning.
Corner Stores
It is estimated that these will contain:
multi-purpose store for convenience food items, coffee, newspapers,
dry cleaning and café (based on corner store model).
Principles for Location of Local Centres
In total, some 7,500 sqm of retail development in the form of dispersed local shop
retail can be expected across the area.
One of the local centres will be co-located with an 8.4ha secondary school, indoor
sports stadium, active sports ground and base for youth services. Another of the
local centres will be co-located with the planned aged care facility near Torquay
Road. This centre will contain a base for a range of more specialised services
serving the whole growth area, co-located with the other facilities and services, and
linked to the other centres where provision would be on a smaller scale. It will be
clustered around a sensory park to be shared by the old and the young.
