South Gippsland Housing and Settlement Strategy | Consultation Draft3.5 NON-RESIDENTIAL LAND USERETAILIn terms of retail development, the majority of retail options andopportunities exist within Leongatha and Korumburra. Additional retailfloorspace will be needed in these centres to support projected residentialgrowth.It is important to note, there is only two major supermarkets located inSouth Gippsland (Woolworths Leongatha). Large independentsupermarkets with a diverse range of stock operate in Leongatha,Korumburra, Mirboo North and Foster; with the other settlements servicedby local convenience retail. As designated settlements begin to grow theremay be sufficient demand for additional full line supermarkets, particularlyin the north-west of the Shire, such as Korumburra.Given the relatively low population in South Gippsland, a supermarket iscurrently a higher order retail facility, and careful consideration should begiven to the locations of future supermarkets given the significant trade thatcan be expected to be drawn to this location as a proportion of existingexpenditure in the Shire and impact on local businesses and amenity. As ageneral rule, higher order retail facilities should be located in District Townsor larger.Apart from providing access to goods and services, retail areas make asignificant contribution to town identity and provide a focus for communityactivity and local amenity. The Economic Development and Tourism Strategy2012 encourages the expansion of retail opportunities, particularlysupermarkets and general merchandise.The location and type of retail land uses is varied and dispersed across theShire. Leongatha and Korumburra are currently, and will remain, theprimary retail centres. There are also smaller outlets located in smallercentres.COMMERCIALCommercial development has centred on Leongatha in recent years, drivenlargely by the key employment and economic generator of the MurrayGoulburn food processing plant. Similarly, the milk processing facilities inKorumburra and Poowong, and Poowong Abattoir are significant employersin the north west of the Shire. These industries provide an employment andeconomic anchor for supporting development and residential demand inthese areas.There is low non-retail commercial demand across the Shire. This is largelydue to the absence of larger regional centres which are typically the locationfor public and private sector regional offices. However, a small amount ofnon-retail commercial land use should be facilitated to support areasexperiencing significant retail and residential growth. This is particularlyimportant in retaining local employment and reducing environmentalimpact related to work travel.Leongatha and Korumburra are identified as the key locations forcommercial land however there may be strategic opportunities forcommercial development in Port Welshpool and Port Anthony, particularlyin supporting the dominant industrial uses.Further, new business opportunities should be sought to support theprinciple of diversifying and strengthening the economy as directed by theEconomic Development and Tourism Strategy 2012.INDUSTRIALIndustrial development has centred on Leongatha in recent years. The Shirecontains port facilities at Barry’s Beach and Port Welshpool. There ispotential to promote future growth at these locations associated with theirstrategic location and existing infrastructure.The Shire also contains extractive industry, most notably sand around Nyoraand stone quarrying near Leongatha.© planisphere 2013 42
South Gippsland Housing and Settlement Strategy | Consultation DraftThe Shire supports a significant manufacturing industry closely linked toagricultural production, particularly the food production sector. The UrbanDevelopment Program Regional Industrial Report 2012 – Shire of SouthGippsland provides a detailed breakdown of the demand and supply forindustrial land in the municipality. The key finding of the UDP report is that“there is an adequate stock of zoned and unzoned industrial land stocks tomeet trend and accelerated consumption rates across the Shire and withineach of the towns.”Industrial activities are generally concentrated in Leongatha, Korumburraand Barrys Beach.Industrially zoned land is also located in Mirboo North, Port Welshpool,Toora and Nyora. It is noted that the 567 hectares of industrial land atBarrys Beach is not included in the land demand and supply calculations dueto the long term, strategic nature of the land.Demand for industrial land remains strong in Leongatha, with around 40 haof vacant industrial land identified in 2008, some of which is subject todevelopment constraints. It is anticipated that Leongatha would require anadditional 30 hectares of industrial land to accommodate demand to 2026.This suggests there is sufficient supply available to accommodate demandwithin the study period.There may also be strategic opportunities for industrial and commercialdevelopment in Port Welshpool and Port Anthony as well as an existingsupply of industrial land close to Barry’s Beach. This could be a strategicresource for future development in the event that port facilities are furtherdeveloped.Council is conducting an industrial land review for Leongatha thatrecommends and additional 12 hectares of net developable land to berezoned for industrial use.3.5.1 TOURISMSouth Gippsland contains significant natural and cultural assets whichprovide the basis for a strong tourism industry. The Shire has limited nonnaturalattractions and high quality accommodation venues. The EconomicDevelopment and Tourism Strategy 2012 encourages development oftourism-related infrastructure within the Shire.Given the role, location, amenity and environmental values of Mirboo North,Foster and Venus Bay in the regional and local context, there may betourism opportunities in these towns, particularly in hospitality andaccommodation.Council has recently rezoned land to the Rural Activity Zone to encouragetourism related activities within key areas of the Shire, generally in areasclose to tourist focal points for example Wilsons Promontory and CoalCreek. Council is conducting a study on recreational vehicles and locationsfor complementary facilities. It is also currently extending the GreatSouthern Rail Trail with further areas to be added as funding is acquired.3.5.2 NON-RESIDENTIAL USES POLICY RESPONSESRETAIL• Reinforce the role of Leongatha and Korumburra as the key retailcentres of the Shire.• Encourage the provision of retail development in accordance withadopted settlement Structure Plans and Urban DesignFrameworks.• Support expansion of ‘in-centre’ retail development in strategiclocations experiencing growth / in accordance with the settlementhierarchy.© planisphere 2013 43
