After many draft plans, community consultations and discussions, 2020 is finally seeing some real progress. Both the Community Infrastructure Plan, now in its final stages, and The City Deal, which includes the harbour precinct redevelopment and the Skenes Creek Discovery Trail, will amount to some real change for the better.
The new Great Ocean Road Authority will impact on our local camping grounds and foreshore amenities and there are sure to be many conversations around those issues.
The Chamber is continually working to improve our relationships with the people who drive the relevant local, state and federal authorities making these plans to ensure we have an effective voice in the planning of our own future.
Our advocacy in this area is driven by the need for Sustainability in all aspects of what is proposed and the need for positive impacts for the resident businesses and wider population.
