May 2024 Update

The Pakington North Urban Design Framework (UDF), endorsed by a community panel for Council consideration, is now available for the broader community to view below.

This UDF from the Panel will be considered by Council for adoption at its 28 May council meeting.

After 20 hours of deliberative engagement on the themes of Built Form, Public Realm and, Access and Movement, the last session on 18 April saw a majority of the Panel indicating that they were comfortable or very comfortable to progress the UDF to a Council Meeting for consideration and adoption. During the final session the community panel was also given time to consider whether anything was missing in the UDF and provide additional feedback.

The Final Pakington North Urban Design Framework responds to recommendations on built form, access and movement within and around the Pakington North precinct, streetscape improvements and open space. Recommendations were made based on criteria the panel set, including that the recommendations be realistic, enhance liveability, provide flexibility for future development options and take a holistic design approach.

The Pakington North Engagement Summary Report provides details on sessions that informed the UDF, the response to final feedback explains how the feedback provided on the Draft UDF that was presented to the Community Panel on 18 April (last session), was considered and reflected in the Final UDF, while the summary of changes provides clarity to the updates made. An updated Final Pakington Street (Geelong West) and Gordon Avenue Urban Design Framework is also available, with minor updates to remove references to Pakington North Precinct as relevant.
