Overview

The proposed amendment amends the Colac Otway, Greater Geelong, Golden Plains, Surf Coast and Queenscliffe Planning Schemes to rezone a number of Barwon Water owned and managed properties to Public Use Zone 1 - Service and Utility (PUZ1) to reflect the ownership and purpose of the land and to delete a redundant Public Acquisition Overlay from land already acquired by Barwon Water in Banks Road, Ocean Grove.

Why is the amendment required?

The amendment is required to correct zoning anomalies within the planning schemes.  Barwon Water reviewed the zoning controls of all its assets and identified 40 properties where the zoning does not reflect the existing use of the land.  In addition, a review of the planning controls identified a property that was subject to a Public Acquisition Overlay (in favour of Barwon Water in the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme), which is no longer required as Barwon Water has now acquired and developed the land for a sewer pump station.

All of the identified properties are owned and managed by Barwon Water with established water and sewerage assets.  Rezoning the identified properties will contribute to the efficient operation of the relevant planning schemes.  Inclusion of the land in the PUZ1 and deletion of a redundant PAO7 (in the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme) is proper and orderly planning and identifies land that is required for ongoing water and sewerage service delivery.
