Council submission to Surf Coast Distinctive Area and Landscape process
Council has last night endorsed a submission to the Surf Coast Distinctive Area and Landscape public consultation, as the declared area includes Mount Duneed and Breamlea in the Greater Geelong municipality.
The Surf Coast was declared a Distinctive Area and Landscape (DAL) by the Victorian Government in 2019, with the aim of permanently protecting the area from over-development and preserving its unique environment, landscape and lifestyle.
The declaration covers a small area of Breamlea and the area north of the Surf Coast and Greater Geelong municipal boundary at Mount Duneed Road, taking in Mount Duneed up to the Armstrong Creek Urban Growth Boundary. This northern boundary includes the Thompson Valley green break between the urban areas of Armstrong Creek and Torquay.
