Changes to the South Geelong Urban Design Framework approved by council

1 April 2025

Council has recently adopted recommendations from an independent panel, together with the proposed changes to the South Geelong UDF. This included rezoning of Barwon’s Water land for mixed use, application of overlay controls and updates to local planning provisions. The South Geelong UDF was adopted in 2022, with amendments for its implementation considered with community input since 2019 and culminating in an Independent Planning Panel in 2024. The framework is now being considered by the Planning Minister.
