[GC2] Diagnosis of the Land
Description: The hinterland to coast landscape is predominantly
influenced by the Otway Range mountains, and is a prominent
feature rising some 500 - 700 m above sea level. It comprises Lower
Cretaceous sandstones, limestone and mudstones and, except for
some of the higher parts, it has been deeply dissected into a rugged
series of valleys and ridges, flowing down to the coast with
surrounding foothills and plains to the east and west. This hinterland
connects the coast with river and creek catchments flowing down to
the sea. Consequently, this connection provides ecological, social,
cultural, and economic viability to the towns of the region.
Instruction: The development of town assets needs to be aligned
with the attributes of the Hinterland to Coast Connection, and must
not be located in places that will obstruct the natural connection
between the coast and hinterland.
Relevance to Anglesea:
The Anglesea Heath surround the town, with a setting in an
amphitheatre of the landscape linking the Anglesea River from the
catchment area to the sea. The River is key to the functioning of the
ecological system of the wetlands as well as the larger watershed of
the Anglesea region, and its function and existence must be protected.
The Natural Amphitheatre [CP3]
Relation to other Core Patterns:
CP1, CP2, CP5, CP6, CP7, CP8, CP9
Alignment to Generative code:
[GC2] Diagnosis of the Land
At the larger scale the natural topography of a bay at each coastal
town results in a topographical natural setting of an amphitheatre.
At a more local scale formations of hills, valleys and cliffs form at
various locations a natural amphitheatre (a cove) in which the
towns are sited. These local natural amphitheatre settings results in
dramatic landscapes and settlement locations that are protected to a
certain extend against the harsh coastal weather patterns and
conditions. Additionally, the half-circle shapes of the landscape
result in 2 or more bays in the vicinity of the towns, with landscape
pinnacles jutting out to sea.
Instruction: Respect the land and the placement of any built or
natural features to ensure integration and siting to support the
paftery and to enhance the natural topography of each place.
Relevance to Anglesea:
Anglesea town is set within a naturally formed amphitheatre of hills
and valleys, with direct connections to the sea, with coastal cliffs and
wetlands and saltmarshes as part of the landscape. These natural
attributes are the core attraction for settlement, and need to be respected.
