Central <strong>Waterfront</strong><br />
The central waterfront extends from <strong>the</strong> western boundary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Western<br />
Beach Boat Club to Ritchie Boulevarde at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> Eastern Beach<br />
and is generally zoned SUZ2 (Special use Zone 2) apart from three sites,<br />
Transvaal Square, Hi Lite Park and <strong>the</strong> Victorian Sailing and Water Safety<br />
School, which are zoned PPRZ.<br />
*The special use zoning aims to "realise <strong>Geelong</strong>'s potential as a city by<br />
<strong>the</strong> water and as a destination <strong>of</strong>fering a wide range <strong>of</strong> waterfront related<br />
activities" <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Geelong</strong> Planning Scheme<br />
The central waterfront is a more dynamic area than western beach, forming<br />
<strong>the</strong> interface between <strong>the</strong> Central Activities Area and Corio Bay.<br />
Changes over <strong>the</strong> preceding two decades have seen a diverse range <strong>of</strong><br />
facilities, spaces and activities develop in <strong>the</strong> central zone and some fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
development opportunities remain.<br />
This process <strong>of</strong> change and <strong>the</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> traditional waterfront enterprises does,<br />
however, place this area at risk <strong>of</strong> greater homogenisation. This trend should<br />
be considered in any redevelopment proposals for Cunningham and Yarra<br />
Street Piers and <strong>the</strong> adjacent Fishermen's Basin. Development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> piers<br />
has <strong>the</strong> potential to bring fur<strong>the</strong>r maritime and fi shing related activity back to<br />
Corio Bay and to restore in part some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> atmosphere <strong>of</strong> a working port.<br />
