Project Status Updates
Project Status Updates – November 2023
We have been working with Warrnambool City Council to progress the planning for the East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) by developing the ‘Vision and Purpose’ for the precinct and progressing technical inputs.
Since our last update in July 2023, we have:
- Conducted a Vision and Purpose Survey with precinct landowners and relevant government agencies to validate the key objectives we heard in pitching sessions and collect further insights.
- Prepared a Vision and Purpose Summary Report, which will be published in the coming weeks.
- Continued preparing technical work to inform our plans.
On 20 September 2023, the Victorian Government released Victoria’s Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034, in which it announced the Victorian Planning Authority will continue preparing Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) for new housing and jobs in Melbourne and regional Victoria. We will conduct further work across 21 projects to deliver more than 60,000 homes and 60,000 jobs. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land, and more jobs close to home.
The East of Aberline PSP is one of the 21 projects named in the Housing Statement.
In the coming months we will be focused on progressing technical documents and finalising the Vision and Purpose summary report in preparation for a Co-Design workshop in 2024.
We are now in the process of updating our work program and confirming new timings for this project. We will provide another update with more details on our next steps once our work program is confirmed.
