What are the main concerns?

The natural features of the landscape around Port Campbell are the highlight of the town.

Views to the bay and surrounding cliff lines are highly important.

There is a strong sense of place to be maintained.

Retain the bay as the most significant feature of the town.

Port Campbell is perceived as a natural place. 

 

Has the proposal considered the concerns?

Flexible open space on the foreshore allow for appreciation of views to the natural setting.

Use of natural materials including stone paving and timber have been proposed.

The design is unique to Port Campbell, not a generic coastal town approach.
