1. Apply the understandings of spiritual and cultural landscapes of the Aboriginal Wadawurrung
people of their Sea Country – the wetlands, estuaries, rivers, lakes, and the sea – to the future
adaptation planning and design considerations of Anglesea;
2. Establish protection measures of sacred and cultural heritage sites to allow for spiritual connection to the land;
3. Relocate the existing Anglesea Beachfront Family Caravan Park to the open areas east of Ramsay
Street and south of Inverlochy Street. This process will be a staged process with initial holiday
units raised above ground levels to accommodate flood levels, and then progressively all structures will be relocated to the new location;
4. Allow for the natural progression of the River and estuary according to sea level changes, with
new settlement boundaries being established by giving preference to protecting natural habitats;
5. Re-establish the wetlands and saltmarshes at the Lions Park Reserve to their pre-European settlement status, and allow for flood zones to the east of the Anglesea River inlet;
6. Rehabilitate the Alcoa mine site and reinstate the original Anglesea River course, including water
storage and wetland systems to assist with the improvement of the hydrology of surface and
ground water quality supporting the ecological functional systems of the River course

;
7. Construct a sea wall along the Anglesea River and saltmarsh plains to protect built and natural
assets from inundation. Sea wall to include hard and soft construction methods, including rock
revetments and mangrove planting;
8. Establish land use planning controls to allow for a setback of 40 metres from the River and highwater mark to allow for coastal recession and consequently avoiding damage to built assets;
9. Main bridges and roads need to be constructed and moved to adapt to future scenarios of sea level
rise;
10. Re-alignment of the Great Ocean Road as a loop road around Anglesea;
11. Include pathways, walking tracks and cycling tracks within new Anglesea River alignments, foreshore reserves and the coastal zone;
12. Strengthen the ‘heart’ of the town, including community-focused buildings such as the Anglesea
Store and social gathering areas, and allow for one or more meeting places for the community.
Gathering places to be modelled on the principle of centres and the circles of equality

;
13. Establish a ‘heritage strip’ along the western embankment of the River, with key historical- related
buildings and functions;
14. Progressively include changes in the built infrastructure to accommodate the changing environment, inclusive of building options with light frame constructions that can change over time;
15. Establish regenerative infrastructure to include renewable energy, solar and wind energy, water
capture and storage, water- sensitive design and planning, zero waste recovery systems, and
waste-to-energy systems;
16. Establish small-scale farming within the town boundaries including vegetable gardens and locally
grown food;
10 The Anglesea River catchment area is an important aspect to the ecological health of the area. The hydrology provides
the patterns of rivers and flows, which support the abundance or the decline of plants, which in turn represent the climatic factors, and provide specific habitats for the animal species of the region. This is a key aspect to consider in
ecological planning as per McHarg’s ecological method (McHarg, 1992 [1969], pp. 127–136).
11 Centres for gathering are based on the connection to Country and the Aboriginal belief that the position of human in
nature is that of oneness. The engagement in conversation happens around the centre; the centre acts as the natural
phenomena of gravity and wholeness.
