Some research i found on the Geelong City Council Strategic Plan,

• a vital part for the region is to have a DYNAMIC, VIBRANT, and SuCCESSFUL "heart" : this being Central Geelong where our site is.

• CeNTRAL GEELONG: the waterfront, city centre, western wedge, and eastern park.

• Visitors currently praise the public and street works

extracts from the GEELONG OPEN SPACE STRATERGY,

"Australian cities are also known by their open spaces; by the texture they give the urban areas, by their shaping of residential form, by the way bright, open areas provide a backdrop and buffer to infrastructure and industrial areas. . . Much of the open space in a commnuity provides a vital role in providing spaces for recreation both as active and passive leisure actrivites... they define landscapes, and establish a sense of place to that community."

we need to make sure our campus site contributes to this characteristics of the Australian Open Space.

GEELONG OPEN PLAN STRATERGY for our site location

• aims to connect Yarra Street, providing a direct link from Eastern Beach to South Geelon Station, and a second link from Limeburners Road to Boundary Road, connection to the existing Rail Trail at Carr Street. The exsisting trail moves along the bay out the front of our campus, neither proposed or exsisting trails come in direct contact with our site, yet they are considerations for our sites 'context'.

• The bulk of the towns development during the late 20th centruy radiates o naxis out from the central core. another consideration to our sites context.

• "Reinforcing always the stratergy of Geelong... of the city meets country lifestyle." Another consideration to go into our development.
