# Document name Summary Key issues / implications for framework plan
Overlays
Public Use Zone (PUZ)
The purpose of the Public Use Zone is:
To recognise public land use for public utility and community services and facilities.
To provide for associated uses that are consistent with the intent of the public land
reservation or purpose.
The Public Use Zone has a number of categories which can be applied to land under this
zone, indicating the different public uses with which the land is associated. Within the
Korumburra Town Centre the Public Use Zone 4, which relates to ‘Transport’ is applied to
the railway corridor. Other Public Use Zone Schedules applied in the study area include
Schedule 3 for ‘Health and Community’, Schedule 6 for ‘Local Government’ land and
Schedule 7 which applies to other public uses.
Road Zone Category 1 (RDZ1)
The purpose of the Road Zone Category 1 is:
To identify significant existing roads.
To identify land, which has been acquired for a significant proposed road.
A road designated as a declared road under the Transport Act 1993 must be included in
a
Road Zone – Category 1. Other roads (or proposed roads where the land has been
acquired) may be included as Category 1 or Category 2 roads if appropriate. propriate.
Within the Korumburra Town Centre, the PUZ generally applies to the car parking areas on Little Commercial Street and to
community uses such as the Library, Childcare and Seniors Citizens Centre.
The South Gippsland Highway and Radovick Street are both included in the RDZ1. Thus VicRoads is the responsible
authority for these roads.
Draft
Heritage Overlay (HO)
The Heritage Overlay (HO) lists sites of local and State heritage significance (Victorian
Heritage Register) and is used to protect sites that have heritage value, meaning that
individual buildings or whole urban precincts may be covered. The presence of a Heritage
Overlay does not mean that development cannot occur but that the impact on the heritage
asset must be considered.
The purpose of a HO is:
To conserve and enhance heritage places of natural or cultural significance.
To conserve and enhance those elements which contribute to the significance of
heritage places.
To ensure development does not adversely affect the significance of heritage places.
To conserve specifically identified heritage places by allowing a use that would
otherwise be prohibited if this will demonstrably assist with the conservation of the
significance of the heritage place.
There are no ‘precinct based’ HOs applied within the study area, however there are three individual sites within the study
area which are affected by an individual HO:
HO53: Korumburra Post & Telegraph Office (former). 24-26 Bridge Street, Korumburra
HO63: Korumburra Comfort Station for Women (former), Radovick Street, Korumburra
HO5: Part of Korumburra Railway Station Complex Station Street, Korumburra (local significance)
HO18: Korumburra Railway Station complex Station Street, Korumburra (Victorian Heritage Register)
The Korumburra Railway Station complex is recognised as having both local and State heritage significance.
