Amendment C79 includes: • Changes to Residential Zones and Zone Schedules. • Includes the adopted Council Strategy “Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041” as a reference document to the Moorabool Planning Scheme. The Strategy includes 32 neighbourhood character precincts each with corresponding design guidelines. • Changes to policy text and maps in the Municipal Strategic Statement of the Moorabool Planning Scheme, including Clause 21.07 (Bacchus Marsh) and Clause 21.03 (Settlement and Housing). What is the purpose of Amendment C79? The changes are aimed at: • Applying the State Government’s suite of residential zones to residential areas within Bacchus Marsh as identified by Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041; • Ensuring new development is consistent with the preferred neighbourhood character as outlined in the brochures that form part of Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041 for each identified precinct within Bacchus Marsh; • Providing a balance between the protection of neighbourhood and landscape character against the need to facilitate housing and population growth in appropriate areas convenient to local services and facilities; • Providing greater certainty over the level of housing change envisaged across Bacchus Marsh and ensuring new development is directed to appropriate locations capable of accommodating change. What do the changes mean for me? Amendment C79 will mostly affect new unit developments, infill subdivision and development where planning permits are required. New standards will apply to minimum lot sizes for subdivision (excluding proposed General Residential Zoned land) and other matters. A summary of key proposed controls under particular Zones and Zone Schedules can be viewed at Table 1 within this leaflet. Notably, the level of change (such as redevelopment of neighbourhoods with medium density housing for instance) that existing neighbourhoods are likely to experience over time, will be impacted by Amendment C79. All residential areas have been allocated one of four settlement types based on proximity to public transport and services, neighbourhood character and their ability to accommodate residential growth. TABLE 1 – Summary of Key Proposals in Residential Zone Schedules TABLE 2 – Summary of Settlement Types and Zone/ScheduleResidential Zone Schedules Amendment C79 includes 32 character precincts for Bacchus Marsh. Precincts have been identified as part of “Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041” based on neighbourhood character (such as lot sizes, housing typologies, landscape and street trees). Planning proposals for new developments will be encouraged to be in accordance with the identified preferred character of the relevant Neighbourhood Character precinct. Which areas are affected? All existing residentially zoned land in Bacchus Marsh is affected by Amendment C79. Most residential areas of Bacchus Marsh are proposed to have a new or updated zoning controls, while some land is proposed to be rezoned to assist in achieving desired housing and neighbourhood character outcomes.

General Residential Zone (GRZ2) Natural Residential Growth Will allow for modest housing growth and a variety of housing typologies in the form of townhouses and multi-dwelling developments, with detached houses continuing to dominate. Low scale medium density housing and alternative housing typologies (such as co- housing, retirement villages, aged care etc) may be appropriate in areas within the precincts that are more accessible to public transport, activity centres and open space than others.

It is noted that these areas are a critical source of land supply for Bacchus Marsh to 2041, and will play a crucial role in meeting the housing needs of current and future residents.

Bacchus Marsh Housing Strategy
October 2017
Proposed Amendment C79 implements the Council strategy Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041 (adopted August 2016) and includes a number of significant changes to town planning controls affecting residential zoned land in Bacchus Marsh (and its suburbs).
Amendment C79 includes:• Changes to Residential Zones and Zone
Schedules.
• Includes the adopted Council Strategy “Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041” as a reference document to the Moorabool Planning Scheme. The Strategy includes 32 neighbourhood character precincts each with corresponding design guidelines.
• Changes to policy text and maps in the Municipal Strategic Statement of the Moorabool Planning Scheme, including Clause 21.07 (Bacchus Marsh) and Clause 21.03 (Settlement and Housing).
What is the purpose of Amendment C79?The changes are aimed at:
• Applying the State Government’s suite of residential zones to residential areas within Bacchus Marsh as identified by Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041;
• Ensuring new development is consistent with the preferred neighbourhood character as outlined in the brochures that form part of Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041 for each identified precinct within Bacchus Marsh;
• Providing a balance between the protection of neighbourhood and landscape character against the need to facilitate housing and population growth in appropriate areas convenient to local services and facilities;
• Providing greater certainty over the level of housing change envisaged across Bacchus Marsh and ensuring new development is directed to appropriate locations capable of accommodating change.
What do the changes mean for me? Amendment C79 will mostly affect new unit developments, infill subdivision and development where planning permits are required. New standards will apply to minimum lot sizes for subdivision (excluding proposed General Residential Zoned land) and other matters. A summary of key proposed controls under particular Zones and Zone Schedules can be viewed at Table 1 within this leaflet.
Notably, the level of change (such as redevelopment of neighbourhoods with medium density housing for instance) that existing neighbourhoods are likely to experience over time, will be impacted by Amendment C79. All residential areas have been allocated one of four settlement types based on proximity to public transport and services, neighbourhood character and their ability to accommodate residential growth.

Amendment C79 includes 32 character precincts for Bacchus Marsh. Precincts have been identified as part of “Housing Bacchus Marsh to 2041” based on neighbourhood character (such as lot sizes, housing typologies, landscape and street trees). Planning proposals for new developments will be encouraged to be in accordance with the identified preferred character of the relevant Neighbourhood Character precinct.
Which areas are affected? All existing residentially zoned land in Bacchus Marsh is affected by Amendment C79. Most residential areas of Bacchus Marsh are proposed to have a new or updated zoning controls, while some land is proposed to be rezoned to assist in achieving desired housing and neighbourhood character outcomes.
Pages 3 and 4 of this leaflet contain two maps. Map 1 shows the current Zoning and Zone Schedules applicable to the wider Bacchus Marsh area. Map 2 shows the proposed Zoning and Zone Schedules under Amendment C79, as well as the proposed neighbourhood character precincts 1 to 32.
The proposed zoning map (Map 2) corresponds to the settlement types in Table 2.
