[GC3] Diagnosis of Settlement
Small commercial zones in various locations as centres to the
towns are predominantly along the main roads, or the Great Ocean
Road that goes through. The Shopping strips entertain restaurants,
boutique shops, art and craft shops, local businesses, and holiday
accommodation. It is a ‘living centre’ with local and tourists
activities combined, resulting in travellers and tourists visiting the
region. In most of the towns the Shopping Strip features a few
historical buildings and provide for a coastal town character, and as
a result creates a sense of place. The buildings emphasise local
heritage and culture.
Instruction: The Shopping Strip must consist of a mixture of small
businesses, providing different local products and services. Large
chain stores or shopping centres must not be allowed.
Relevance to Anglesea:
The shopping street of Anglesea hosts a few restaurants, as well as
businesses, offices, and additional amenities that support local food
needs, community activities and gatherings, and is a stopping place
for travellers and tourists on the Great Ocean Road. The character
of the shopping strip needs to be kept in place, and out of character
developments must be avoided at all times.
