Why this petition matters

Developers and some landowners are currently seeking to change the Ocean Grove Town Settlement Boundary to allow even more housing development.

If you’d like to stop the sprawl of Ocean Grove and help us retain the seaside town and natural environment we all love about our town, please sign this petition.

Developers want the land to the west of Grubb Road, the land east of Banks Road and the strip of land to the north between the current Oakdene housing development and the Bellarine Highway to be included in the Ocean Grove Town Settlement Boundary. 

Say NO to this - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The Ocean Grove Community Association Inc considers that the Ocean Grove Town Settlement Boundary as depicted in the Geelong Council graphic in this petition should be retained and reinforced as the long-term settlement boundary for Ocean Grove through the position currently contained in The City of Greater Geelong Settlement Strategy Amendment C395, and through The Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning (DEWLP) Statement of Planning Policy for the Bellarine Distinctive Areas and Landscapes.

The City of Greater Geelong’s Settlement Strategy plans to keep the Ocean Grove Town Settlement Boundary as it is.  But developers are currently challenging this strategy at an Independent Panel Hearing (Amendment C395). Developers want more land for development.

The Ocean Grove Community Association Inc says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and supports the Council’s position of no change to our existing town settlement boundary.

What can you do about it?  If you share our view don’t sit back and watch as our town is changed forever – make your voice heard - if you think ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
