All residential land in the structure plan area is zoned Residential 1 with the exception of land located to the north of
Plantation Road (between Plantation Road and the Geelong Ring Road). The purpose of this zone is to provide for
residential development at a range of densities with a variety of dwellings to meet the housing needs of all households.
Land at 270-302; 304-308; and 310-312 Plantation Road is zoned Low Density Residential (LDRZ). The purpose of this
zone is to provide for low-density residential development on lots which, in the absence of reticulated sewerage, can treat
and retain all wastewater. Authorisation was granted by the Minister for Planning in 2008 to rezone the land from LDRZ to
R1Z, however it was not acted upon in the required time and has since lapsed.
Large tracts of land on the eastern side of the Princes Highway and Station Street are zoned Industrial 1. This includes

the structure plan area are zoned Business 1. The purpose of this zone is to encourage the intensive development of
business centres for retailing and other complementary commercial, entertainment and community uses.
