Port Campbell residents invited to drop-in session on town centre plan

Published on 21 August 2019

Port Campbell residents are invited to view the refined streetscape plan at a drop-in session on Wednesday 28 August, between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm at the surf club.

Council adopted the Port Campbell Town Centre Plan concept plan in March, following extensive public consultation.

There has been further refinement to the plan, taking into account many of the comments that were received from members of the community.

Coastal Ward Councillor Simon Illingworth said the refined design plan would be on display at the Surf Club.

“This will be an opportunity for residents to discuss in person with Council staff and the consultants,” Cr Illingworth said.

Cr Illingworth said there was a need to future proof the town centre so it remained safe, functional and welcoming in light of a forecast doubling in international visitor numbers by 2025.

“We need to be mindful of that increased demand in the future, but make sure locals can continue doing their daily business and enjoying the lifestyle they love about their town,” he said.

A separate session will be held on Thursday to discuss the plan specifically with traders.

The updated design plan will be available here following the community drop-in session on Wednesday.
