The development of the buildings and precincts in the towns will
tread lightly on the land, ensure minimal disturbance to its
physical, ecological and biophysical processes. Coastal character of
the towns historically includes appropriate scale and built form.
Instruction: Provide for siting and building guidelines that require
the consideration of the natural environment, ensure minimal
disturbance to the environment, and where applicable provide for
reinstatement of the landscape where damaged. Keep buildings at a
small scale and integrate with the natural environment. Buildings to
respect nature and need to be lightweight, adaptable construction.

The current character of Anglesea is supporting mostly in-scale
homes integrated within their surroundings. Implement regulations
to enforce new buildings that enhance the town character and
which will tread lightly on the land.
