Ocean Grove Community Association will hold a forum to discuss the impact of development on Ocean Grove.
Topics slated for the forum could include planning for Grubb Road/Tuckfield Street, town boundaries or the proposed Ocean Grove Principal Pedestrian Network.
OGCA chairperson Phil Edwards said the discussion is open for anyone to attend and will include current topics, such as:
Are our town boundaries immovable or just lines on a map waiting for enough developer dollars to move them?
The new shopping complex on Grubb Road is due to open around December this year with a sharp increase in traffic volume anticipated but there is no state government funding yet for the upgrade of Grubb Road – how many years will drivers, cyclist and pedestrians wait to have safe access along an upgraded Tuckfield St/Grubb Road to get to, from or past the shopping complex?
How does the COGG Settlement Strategy impact Ocean Grove and how is the Shared Trail Master Plan initiative developing?
What have the planners of COGG Council and Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) got in mind for all these and other important aspects of Ocean Grove?
There is an opportunity to listen to and ask questions of COGG and RRV planners direct on these and other planning matters during the Community Planning Forum on 31 July.
The forum will be held at Ocean Grove Bowling Club at 6.45pm with OGCA’s annual general meeting and then move immediately into the planning forum at 7pm.
“Speakers from COGG and RRV will be there and we are working to also get representatives from DELWP to speak on the Bellarine Distinctive Areas and Landscapes,” Mr Edwards said.
