The core design team for the 2024 Point Grey Redevelopment project is made up of the same three design practices who submitted a (nonwinning) scheme for the 2018 competition. We recognise that the current project is entirely different from the competition stage in terms of constraints and brief. At the same time, we are excited to be able to make use of the extensive background material we collected at the competition stage, and continue developing a sensibility in tune with community values and in keeping with the significance of the site.

The NMBW consultancy team offers exceptional value for money and risk minimisation . We have a deep understanding of the site and have already established local connections through our work in the finalist submission titled Eumeralla Square for the 2018 competition. We have the intellectual rigour and management skills to be able to fully explain design logic, and our competition scheme was already in tune with community priorities. The NMBW Team puts forward a low-risk, efficient process, with bonus integration of local and bigger picture issues raised by the project; all with the backing of consistent high quality design-led methodology and comprehensive experience in multiple procurement methods.

PROJECT CHALLENGES

Stop, Stay & Spend Destination

A key challenge presented to us is to convert tourism from ‘passing by’ to ‘experiencing’ Point Grey. We propose to explore how events and stories can capture attention and aid attachment to place. It is critical that integration with longstanding everyday patterns can be incorporated into the project wherever possible, and we feel this will create an authentic experience for all.

Seasonal Shifts in Population

Opportunity to improve shared public realm that sits between two existing building locations and greater site. Evidence of historic tram rails.

Current location of Anglers Club sheltered from the full eastern exposure of the headway. Littoral landscape characterised by low lying rock formations

Like many coastal towns, Lorne experiences substantial seasonal population growth in the warmer months. The challenge this presents is creating an environment, both landscape and built form, which can accommodate swelling populations but also be viable during off-season months. Our team will prioritise flexibility on the site through multiple strategies.

Connectivity

Being approximately 1.5km’s from the centre of Lorne highlights both advantages and challenges for the project to overcome. As we know, Point Grey is already a popular destination for locals to walk to and from on their morning coffee runs. Whilst the Doug Stirling Walk along Shipwreck Trail is a beautiful scenic pedestrian path, it is not accessible for all members of the community and cannot be used at night due to poor lighting. Improvements to this promenade would encourage visitors to Lorne and Point Grey to actively participate both day and night in the broader ecology of the area, and thus extend the precincts operational hours.

Impacts of Climate Change

Land parcels adjacent orientated towards prominent landscape geography

AlongShelly Beach

Views are both to and from Point Grey. Topography of site allows distant views from multiple locations.

The position of the precinct in relationship to the ocean mean that rising sea levels will be an important factor to take into account. Our proposal will design for resilience, promote best practice coastal management and sustainable solutions.

Traffic & Parking

We understand that increasing access to the site will require the inclusion of upgraded carparking that can cater for larger vehicles, including mini-vans and buses. The key challenge here is to provide sufficient, robust and low maintenance parking solutions that sit harmoniously within the natural setting. Embracing opportunities to include planting and water sensitive urban design principles will assist in transitioning hard surfaces on the site. Designing carparks that have multiple uses will allow these areas to be utilised all year round, ensuring that the car park reverts to natural open space at times of the year when less parking is required.

Natural Qualities - Water’s Edge

Water provides another opportunity to engage with the natural environment of this site. Connection to the foreshore is vital and water engagement, along with preserving its unique beauty and tranquility will be a key area of focus in this project.

Multi-Use & Layered Environments

There is potential for the landscape and the buildings to host a range of both formal and informal activities. Generosity is at the heart of creating multi-purpose spaces that can provide food markets, be incubators for local entrepreneurs, and facilitate permanent retailers. The brief suggests a public foyer space for gathering - for example, this may also double for the display of significant local artifacts, providing an outpost for the Lorne Historical Society. Picnics, community markets, outdoor performances, historical storytelling, and quiet reflection can all co-exist in a diverse and equitable landscape.

Education, Informative Landscapes & Extended Classrooms

Education can play a major role encouraging visitors to spend more time in Lorne. Landscape opportunities to reveal and enhance hidden natural layers of geology and ecology exist and may facilitate a variety of recreational and cultural based activities. Point Grey could also become an extended classroom for use of the local school, as well as other community groups.

Planning Controls–

• The site is still affected by the following zoning controls:

• Public Conservation And Resource Zone

• Public Park And Recreation Zone; And

• Bushfire Management Overlay.

 Whilst these controls have been updated, the amendments do not impact the proposal.

 The amendments mainly reinforce the need to protect human life (bushfire), conserve the environment, limit/control residentia l development.

• Other relevant Clauses of the Surf Coast Planning Scheme previously considered are still relevant to the site and project ( Clauses 2.03, 2.04, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 52.05, 52.06, 52.17, 52.29, 53.02, 53.18)

 Similarly, just as updates for zoning controls, changes made to these clauses do not fundamentally impact the proposal.

• Nevertheless, new controls have been introduced within the year that can facilitate approval and development of the project, These Clauses relate to fast -track planning approval: Clause 52.30 /Clause 53.22.

 Further investigation is required to determine whether the project aligns with the specified requirements of the Clause(s) an d to understand the willingness to pursue these pathways.

• New strategic documents or updated strategic documents do not affect the proposal per se.

 Again, most of the amendments mainly focus on the importance of protecting human life, preserving the environment, regulating residential development.

➔ If anything, the changes made corroborate the VCAT decision and have thus been communicated to the project team to guide their masterplan design.

Grounds for refusal – Urban Design Focus

• As per VCAT decision, the LAAC building has been noted to be designed to form the dominant use of the site as a destination venue (a commercial use that could be located anywhere)

• The Beacon building, and its use as a Restaurant, is central to the entire development proposal - removal of the restaurant will impact the remaining uses on site .

• The previous Location and scale of the design did not support the other uses of the land that are functionally dependent on being on or near the water and are consistent with the purposes of the PPRZ

=> Urban design is required to review the siting and scale of the proposed LAAC building

• Building has back turned to the boat ramp - the boat ramp and surround to a component of the site that is not easily accessed or enjoyed other than by the direct users of the facility

o Causes a physical separation between the LAAC and the boat ramp which is integral to the function of the LAAC

=> Urban design is required to review the siting and interface treatments of the proposed LAAC building

• Has no connection to the marine and coastal environment .

• Size will result in the loss of POS

o Affect the amount of CP that will be required

o Cause vegetation removal as a consequence of more CP

• Traffic consultant is required to inform Urban Design outputs in regards to Car Parking layouts and access and movement for Bus, Emergency Vehicles, and vehicles with trailers to ensure smooth flow of traffic – as per VCAT Statement.
