LOCALITY ANALYSIS STRATEGY VOL. 2 19/9/07 2.2 NYORA Overview of supply Nyora’s settlement type is classified as a small town. This assumes that desirably there would be one major focus for community facilities and sport, but satellite spaces for social /family recreation may be required because of geographical layout of township, and barriers created by major road etc. Nyora is home to over 50% of the population for the Strezelecki Region, and it has several large parcels of public open space; (such as the recreation reserve and speedway, the Village Green, the cemetery and the Pony Club site). Open space and sport and recreation facilities however do not appear to be developed to serve district or regional markets as in other places such as Meeniyan and Fish Creek. The railway reserve provides the core of open space in the town at present, however the tourist train currently runs through here to Wonthaggi, and therefore there are some constraints as to how this will be developed and there are issues with promoting crossing over the track ie to the Recreation Reserve. The village green with a skate trail and playground appears only partly developed and could be enhanced by a major redesign and planting program. It may however need to be relocated as the current site has been ear marked for the development of a commercial heart. The newer subdivisions are not well connected to the central hub of sport and community facilities. Future planning needs to address this. The range of recreation facilities and their classifications are shown in the following table.

LOCALITY ANALYSIS STRATEGY VOL. 2 19/9/07 Issues and actions from previous plans � Nyora Urban Design Framework (2005) The key issues relating to open space identified in this report include: � Population of Nyora likely to more than double. � The critical importance of a sewerage system for the township. The town needs a reticulated sewer that will facilitate economic development and population growth. � The need to rationalise the activities occurring on the village green and to create a strategic plan for its use and ensure consistent development forms and style. � Lack of pedestrian bicycle and horse trails throughout the town. Lack of footpaths in the core of the township, especially around the school and linking the school to the town centre. � Access to and use of existing recreational/sporting facilities � The future of the existing railway station and associated Crown land � The future of the Nyora Speedway, and how it could add value to the community (more and diverse usage) and/or perhaps be relocated to a more appropriate location � The isolated, separate and disconnected nature of the newer rural residential areas � The inherent problems of providing urban infrastructure to isolated low density residential areas � Concerns as to traffic flow, increase in heavy traffic, traffic separation from pedestrian/horse and recreation rider safety � The importance of linking the outer areas of the community (the 3987 post code area) to the town and it’s various facilities, the school etc SOUTH GIPPSLAND SHIRE 10 � The need to enhance developments/community areas through native planting and the linkage of remnant bush/park areas through native habitat corridors � Recognising, supporting and encouraging the high concentration of horse ownership and usage within the community � The opportunities to link Nyora with other towns (Lang Lang, Loch etc) through pedestrian, bicycle, horse trails � The opportunity to promote the town as a “centre” for horse and equestrian activities. � Weed control, especially in Crown land areas of the town � Strategic Plan for Nyora Recreation Reserve The plan addresses some key issues for the reserve – namely: need to upgrade the pavilion/toilet change facilities and social rooms, poor car parking provision & traffic flow issues, relationship with the school (in particular the new school oval and drop off), need for a shared path linking the school and reserve to the township, additional netball court, long tern desire for indoor courts, vegetation, water management and future / improvement of the speedway.
