Foreword This Background Report is the first step in the process of preparing a Structure Plan for Corio and Norlane. When it is prepared the Structure Plan will provide a vision, plans and directions to guide development of the area over a 10 to 15 year period. The Structure Plan will contain three parts, Part A “Structure Plan”, Part B “Implementation & Review” and Part C “Background Report”. Part A will contain the Structure Plan and concept plans and will include principles and directions in response to the key influences identified in the Background Report. Part B contains a program for implementing the Structure Plan including the undertaking of other strategic work and future review of the Structure Plan. Part C (this Background Report) provides the foundation and contextual information for the Structure Plan and identifies the issues, opportunities and constraints facing the suburbs, under the following headings: • Introduction • Policy Context • Demographic Profile • Physical Infrastructure • Built Form • Movement and Transport • Economic Development and Employment • Social Infrastructure • Natural Environment and Heritage • Recreation and Open Space The Structure Plan is being prepared by Council and DPCD officers through a Planning and Development Working Group which is positioned in a broader Corio and Norlane Urban Renewal Project governance structure. The broader structure involves State Government departments and the City of Greater Geelong. The working group is one of three groups running concurrently during 2010/11. The other two working groups in the Governance structure are Transport and Community Infrastructure, and Engagement and Communications. The Corio Norlane Structure Plan follows a similar process and format to that of other inhouse City of Greater Geelong produced structure plans (e.g. for Townships on the Bellarine Peninsula and Lara). The Background Report builds on a number of reports commissioned by the former Victorian Government in its development of a business case for the urban renewal project, as well as published government and Council strategies and policies. The Background Report was prepared by the City of Greater Geleong with close involvement of DPCD officers and informed by previous work by State Government agencies. The report is not necessarily endorsed by DPCD or the State Government. Corio Norlane Structure Plan Background Report - 6 - Final - March 2011
PART C 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background BACKGROUND REPORT The Corio and Norlane area has many advantages that enable it to be a high demand economic and residential location. It is close to the Geelong Central Business District, Avalon Airport, Geelong Port and industrial areas, Corio Bay, and the Werribee to Avalon Employment Corridor. It also has accessible and affordable housing with easy access to Melbourne via road and rail linkages. However within Corio and Norlane, demographic and socio-economic analysis finds that there are sections of these communities with high unemployment levels, low education levels, low household incomes and an increased likelihood of living in public and rental housing. The area has low residential densities and population levels have declined in contrast to the strong population growth in the remainder of the City of Greater Geelong. Office of Housing stock represents approximately 35% of dwellings in Norlane and over 40% in the Rosewall area in Corio’s east. Some of the housing stock and retail facilities are ageing and of poor quality. The Corio Norlane area has a large industrial presence in its north and east and as a result, has been more harshly affected by the impacts of manufacturing sector restructuring and associated job losses in the recent past. Several government and non-government initiated projects in Corio and Norlane over the past decade have resulted in a community aspiring to improve the quality of their lives and eager for holistic urban renewal. Key programs and initiatives are described below: 1.1.1 Corio Norlane Development Advisory Board (CN DAB) The Corio Norlane Development Advisory Board (CN DAB) is the peak body representing the community. It is a partnership between government and nongovernment organisations, schools, industry and residents and plays a consultative and advisory role. The CN DAB Healthy Community Plan 2009-2013 states the community’s vision (see below) and has been endorsed by the World Health Organisation. CNDAB Vision: “Corio Norlane is a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable community that offers the highest possible quality of life for all residents” 1.1.2 Corio Norlane Urban Renewal In 2009, the Corio Norlane Urban Renewal initiative was established to provide the longterm and sustained support to deliver on the vision of the (former) State Government, the City of Greater Geelong and the community to transform Corio Norlane into a thriving and connected community where people choose to live, work and invest. Eight strategies have been identified for Corio Norlane Urban Renewal as central to achieving this vision. These strategies are to: Corio Norlane Structure Plan Background Report - 7 - Final - March 2011
