Land being used for industrial use is being reviewed and City of Greater Geelong is asking for community feedback.
The Industrial Land Supply Review examines all current and future industrial land, measuring its economic importance and future supply.
The review will investigate how and if industrial land in Greater Geelong is being used in both established and new industrial areas.
“The insights gathered in the review will help us understand the state of our industrial land and plan for the future so that our industrial areas can continue to thrive,” Chair of the City’s planning portfolio councillor Andrew Katos said.
“The manufacturing, energy, construction and logistics sectors are a core part of our local economy and account for nearly half of our total economic output.”
Key recommendations include:
establishing a new industrial framework or strategy
facilitating the delivery of new employment precincts that can accommodate diverse industrial sectors as a key municipal economic development priority
protecting core industrial areas from residential encroachment
reviewing future policy on minimum lot sizes in the Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct to better accommodate a broader range of businesses
encouraging relocation of ageing heavy industry to prevent land use conflicts.
Have your say (yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au/ILSR25) by completing the online survey or dropping a pin on the online mapping tool and providing feedback by 5pm Sunday 2 November.
The City will host a drop-in session at Wurriki Nyal on Monday 27 October from 4 pm to 6 pm. Register your attendance at geelong.link/ILSRRegister
