Engagement results

We've released a report capturing community feedback on the Pakington North Precinct as part of the Pakington Street and Gordon Avenue Urban Design Frameworks (UDF).

Engagement on the latest round of consultation was focused on the northern end of Pakington Street from Church Street to Waratah Street and Wellington Street.

There were 75 contributions to the survey and email submissions received during the most recent engagement.

Submissions were received from 18 suburbs, with 58.2 per cent from Geelong West

Overall, there were mixed views towards the UDF and proposed built form controls. The top four identified concerns are building heights and development; traffic and parking; amenity, character and heritage and engagement program. There is an alternative view that the reduced building heights in the UDF are prescriptive, conservative and a missed opportunity.

We thank everyone who shared their views on the Pakington North Precinct. Community input is really important to this process and all feedback will contribute to the final outcome that will be considered at an upcoming Council meeting.

The Community Engagement Report can be accessed here or it can be found in the Document Library section of the project page.
