The location of towns within an extensive natural environment, by
default establishes a boundary at the edge of the towns between the
buildings and the natural forests, woodlands or grasslands. The
catchment areas around the town, as part of the rivers and creeks,
have natural boundaries within the larger region. Within the town
are neighbourhood boundaries, as well as subculture boundaries
that are formed through natural processes of social-cultural growth.
The strength of boundaries is essential to establish and maintain the
town’s own identifiable character.
Instruction: Set regulations in place to restrict further growth of
town boundaries into surrounding natural landscapes. Evaluate and
initiate future growth within existing town boundaries, and clearly
define the edges that cannot be extended. Create ‘in-fill’
developments to increase density, and support subcultural and
neighbourhood boundaries.
Relevance to Anglesea:
The natural setting of Anglesea is within the Anglesea Heath that
surrounds the town, and is covered with natural woodland bush, set
among hills and valleys. The existing town boundary must be kept
as is, to avoid the destruction of natural bush and environmental
attributes.
