Engage Bass Coast
Bass Coast Shire’s forecasted population growth will result in demand for between 8,000 – 10,000 new houses by 2036. We are one of Victoria’s fastest growing regional municipalities.
To ensure that we are well equipped to sustainably manage this forecasted population growth, Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Character Study, a Housing Strategy, and a Residential Canopy Cover Improvement Strategy.
Round 2 of this consultation is now closed for feedback.
Bass Coast is a special place to live, made up of unique neighbourhoods, villages and townships, each with a distinct character. The Neighbourhood Character Study will ensure that new development appropriately responds to the valued characteristics of residential areas across Bass Coast.
The Housing Strategy will provide a 15-year plan that will guide the growth and change of residential areas within settlement boundaries across Bass Coast. It will ensure that new homes are directed to locations that have existing services and infrastructure.
The Residential Canopy Cover Improvement Strategy aims to promote climate-responsive landscape design in residential development to support thermal comfort, reduce the urban heat island effect and improve medium density housing.
