“Now that we have an approved Framework Plan to guide growth in central Geelong over the next 30 years, key stakeholders finally have certainty and confidence. The Framework Plan includes several notable changes from the exhibited version including refined and improved sub-precinct boundaries and increased preferred maximum building heights that enable opportunities to be capitalised on in key locations. These changes are welcomed, and we look forward to interrogating the new Framework Plan and planning controls further.” ‒ James Hamilton, Senior Associate: Planning
The Framework Plan was delivered in consultation with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, the City of Greater Geelong, the Geelong Authority, landowners, local community members and guidance from an independent Advisory Committee appointed by the former Minister for Planning.
