Project Status Updates

Project Status Updates – July 2024

Since our last update in May 2024, we have continued to progress the preparation of the East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan (PSP), in collaboration with Warrnambool City Council.  

We are continuing to manage the preparation of technical assessments including: 

  • Utility servicing  
  • Bushfire  
  • Biodiversity  
  • Landscape and visual impact  
  • Cultural and post contact heritage  
  • Land capability  
  • Adverse amenity impact 
  • Economic and retail  
  • Arboriculture 
  • Drainage and integrated water management (IWM) 
  • Community infrastructure 
  • Social and affordable housing 

We are also in the process of engaging technical experts to prepare the following assessments:  

  • Traffic and transport  
  • Drainage concepts and functional designs.  

Co-design Workshop

In recent months, our team has been preparing for the co-design workshop to be held on 10 July 2024.  

In the workshop, precinct landowners, agencies and other stakeholders will be asked to consider the early technical findings and precinct constraints to develop a draft place-based plan. The session will be an opportunity for participants to work collaboratively towards planning solutions which consider the wide range of stakeholder objectives and visions for the precinct.  

Next Steps

Following the co-design workshop, we will continue to progress technical assessments which will inform the refinement of a place-based plan for the precinct.  

We will also prepare a co-design summary document to capture the key ideas discussed. Once completed, this summary will be published on the VPA website.
