THE SURF Coast Shire is poised to approve a development plan for its Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre as it waits on tender submissions to build the project.<\/p>\n

The shire exhibited the development plan for the long-awaited pool earlier this year and opened it to public submissions, for which it held a hearing this week.<\/p>\n

The development plan outlines the strategic justification for the facility relating to Surf Coast strategic planning policies, in this case the Torquay-Jan Juc Structure Plan 2007, and is a final box to tick before a planning permit application can be lodged.<\/p>\n

Speaking for urban designers Urbis, submitter Ben Porteous made the case for the shire to tick a final box before a main permit application.<\/p>\n

“After this development plan is approved, there will be a planning permit application lodged that will respond to [strategic] requirements,” he said.<\/p>\n

“That will include the details of the facility, to determine the size of the buildings, the size of the pools and layouts.”<\/p>\n

Submissions received during the exhibition of the development plan requested the council include indoor or heated pools in its final design, and arguing that inclusion of a health centre alongside the aquatics facility was surplus to requirements due to surrounding allied health facilities in Torquay and Jan Juc.<\/p>\n

Neither objector chose to speak at Tuesday’s submissions hearing.<\/p>\n

The shire will consider submissions as part of its decision whether to approve the development plan at a future council meeting.<\/p>\n

Since exhibition of the development plan, the shire agreed last month to amend its preferred option for the aquatic and health centre.<\/p>\n

Its endorsed design now includes an indoor 25m pool<\/a> alongside a one program pool, gym, program spaces, allied health suites, caf\u00e9 and supporting amenities, with the council underwriting a budget shortfall of $3.57 million to allow it to proceed to tender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
