3 PART A. purpose BACKGROUND and introduction AND CONTEXT Purpose This Summary of Feedback outlines the key messages heard on land use ideas from the first round of community engagement for the Anglesea Futures Land Use Plan. It is not intended to capture every comment or reference comments to individuals or organisations but provide a broad summary of the ideas that were heard. Introduction Since 1961, a large area of Crown land north of Anglesea has been leased to Alcoa to operate a coal mine and power station. In August 2015, the mine and power station ceased operation. The Crown land at the former mine site, and the area surrounding the mine, is important to Anglesea residents and businesses, as well as the wider community. A Land Use Plan is being prepared to provide a framework for re-use of this area to the north of Anglesea, including the former power station and mine (the study area). The Land Use Plan will be a high level strategic document which will identify broad land uses for different areas. Feedback received from the community will inform the preferred land uses for the site. The preferred uses will be incorporated into a draft Land Use Plan that will be released for public comment later in ANGLESEA FUTURES Land Use Ideas Summary of Feedback - August
4 PART A. BACKGROUND Community Engagement AND CONTEXT Process Engagement with the community has been ongoing through the Anglesea Futures Community Conversations series. All ideas received since the series commenced in August 2015 are being considered in the preparation of the Land Use Plan. Consultation on land use ideas was undertaken with the community from June Notification of the consultation period included newspaper notices, letters to owners/occupiers and s to people that had previously been engaged. A variety of engagement methods were used to seek community feedback including an on-line survey, two open-house sessions and a community ideas forum. Written submissions were also invited. Engagement channels Written submission Social media Information stalls at Anglesea summer markets Ideas forum Online survey 2 open house events Open house sessions conducted on 11 and 25 June 2017 enabled participants to walk through displays, ask questions about the plan, share their knowledge of the area and provide ideas and their vision for the future. During the Open House on 25 June 2017, an Ideas Forum was also held which included presentations from stakeholders and members of the community about ideas for the future use of the Anglesea Futures study area. An online survey enabled the community and stakeholders to provide feedback. Participants were asked to consider and provide feedback on their values and vision, their preferred land uses/activities and their most non-preferred land uses/activities for the study area. In addition to the targeted consultation period, land use ideas were also collected at the four information stalls held at the Anglesea River Bank Markets from January to April The information stalls enabled holiday makers, holiday home owners and residents to talk to the Anglesea Futures team and learn more about the land use planning process. Engagement response 1082 Visits to the Anglesea Futures engagement website 11 Written submissions 197 People attended public house / ideas forum events 203 People completed an online survey or made another online contribution 2 ANGLESEA FUTURES Land Use Ideas Summary of Feedback - August 2017

9 PART A. BACKGROUND Social Map AND Comments CONTEXT A mapping tool that enabled participants to post their ideas on a map was also used to collect land use ideas for the study area. The Social map tool also allows others to see the comments that are posted onto the map. Participants were asked to post a comment on the map with their preferred activities and land uses for the study area. A total of 80 pins were posted onto the map. Six pins were duplicates and were removed from the total. From the 74 pins there were 89 comments left with some pins having more than one idea. From the graph below it can be seen that the most poular activities/uses included mountain biking (46%), renewable enegry (19%), recreation (17%), community uses (7%) and environment (5%). Figure 5.

10 PART A. BACKGROUND Written Submissions AND CONTEXT Formal submissions were also received from stakeholders regarding future land uses for the study area. The following summarised submissions were received from eleven stakeholders: Submission 1. Anglesea Bike Park Committee of management Retain bike park in existing location and construct a network of new bike paths and trails which link the town centre, the existing bike park, the mine site and the wider region. Implement the Bike Town concept through construction of a network of bike trails to promote active lifestyles, connected community s and sustainability. Submission 2. Surf Coast Wildlife Shelters Group Inc. Conserve and protect all native flora, fauna and ecosystems & conserve and protect landscapes and natural heritage in the area. Minimise the environmental impacts of any proposed tourism or recreational activities on wildlife and promote and provide environmental and wildlife education. Submission 3. Surf Coast Trail Group Construct a network of a range of bike and walking trails (approx. 40km) for a range of abilities in the former coal mine pit, the crown land lease area, new National Park area and link with existing trails and bike park. Spin off economic benefits to the local economy through job creation and increased spending from visitors. Submission 4. ANGAIR Calling for the protection of the Alcoa freehold land along Fraser Avenue. It s high environmental values are currently used for wildflower walks and seed and cutting collection and are a valuable environmental asset. Submission 5. Private Individual Submission suggests that low key use consistent with the environment of the Anglesea Heath is required. The quiet seaside village feel of Anglesea needs to be retained and the settlement boundary maintained. Submission 6. Geelong Environment Council (GEC) This submission would like to see the addition of 300ha of the Bald Hills Heathland into the National Park. In addition, they do not support the destruction of 7ha of land adjacent to Coal Mine Road. This area is extremely rich in orchids (some protected under the EPBC Act) and GEC calls for this land to be protected. This submission would also support a high-level ecotourism and education centre for all ages that focusses on Anglesea s cultural heritage and environmental assets (similar to the Daintree Proposal made at the Ideas Forum). New bike trails should be allowed only if they replace the existing Eumeralla trails. Submission 7. Private Individual This submission supports renewable energy facilities (particularly solar and pumped storage hydro) at the site. This submission also supports hand over of the lease area to National Park and would like to see further conservation efforts to protect the biodiversity values of the Messmate track area. Submission 8. Private Individual This submission proposes that a spa resort including hot springs, a 200 room hotel, restaurant and swimming pool be developed on the site. This proposal would create jobs and replace jobs lost because of the mine/power station closure, provide a new pool facility for the community as well as a tourism attraction for Anglesea and provide water to maintain the river. 8 ANGLESEA FUTURES Land Use Ideas Summary of Feedback - August 2017
11 Submission 9. Private Individual This submission proposes that a water park for water skiing, boating and other water sports be created. The waterpark would create local employment and help to maintain the flows in the Anglesea River. Submission 10. Private Individual This submission proposes that the existing power station building be retained to generate electricity via high temperature incineration of residential, commercial and industrial waste. The incineration facility would create local employment and extend life of existing landfill in Anglesea. Water from the power station could be discharged into the river to maintain Anglesea River flows. Other aspects of the closure of the Alcoa site should continue (i.e. inclusion of the lease area to the National Park and site rehabilitation). Submission 11. Private Individual This submission proposes that an environmental complex (e.g. Eden project) be built and that the former power station be turned into a natural history museum and café with camping and cabin facilities for tourists, scenic drives and look outs in National Park. It also proposes that mountain bike trails around the waterbody and National Park be built and the retention of existing bike park. The submission also proposes that the Anglesea Golf club along with the bowls and tennis clubs be moved next to the waterbody. ANGLESEA FUTURES Land Use Ideas Summary of Feedback - August
