C’mite seeks feedback on Camperdown’s future
CORANGAMITE Shire Council is seeking feedback from the communities on plans to shape the future of one of the shire’s biggest towns.
The Draft Camperdown Structure Plan is now available for public feedback.
The document serves as the long-term plans which will guide and shape each community over the next 15-20 years to manage and facilitate change within the town.
Corangamite Shire Council mayor councillor Kate Makin said the long-term plans were aimed at helping the town thrive.
“It provides guidance on how to manage change in ways that reflects what the community wants their town to be,” she said.
“How can land be used? What facilities and infrastructure are needed? What challenges need to be overcome and what opportunities are there to make the most of?
“The structure plan considers how to grow business and tourism opportunities and respond to the challenges of housing supply, access and safety, attracting young families and the effects of climate change.”
Cr Makin said the draft was developed after community consultation in February and March.
“Residents contributed to developing a clear vision of their hometown’s character,” she said.
“Camperdown is a vibrant, walkable town that celebrates its picturesque setting and heritage, offering diverse housing, strong services and a thriving, sustainable economy for all generations.”
Cr Makin encouraged community members to read the plans and give their feedback by Tuesday, July 8.
“The Consultation Summary Report and Draft Structure Plan are available at www.corangamite.vic.gov.au/ctsp,” she said.
“You can also come along to one of the drop-in sessions to find out more and give feedback, fill in an online survey, or send a formal submission to planning@corangamite.vic.gov.au.”
Two sessions will be held in Camperdown the first at the Civic Centre, 181 Manifold Street, on Thursday, June 19 from 6.30-8.30pm and the second at the Killara Centre, 210-212 Manifold Street, on Friday, June 20 from 9-11am.
Council is also seeking feedback on the Draft Terang Structure Plan.
