Project update 13 December, 2023.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the drop-in sessions, submitted feedback and contacted Council with relation the three projects within the Williamstown Foreshore Precinct that were on public exhibition.

Council received significant interest with over 1000 contributions across the three projects during the eight-week consultation period. Given the large amount of feedback received, Council officers will be working through the responses over January to develop a “What we Heard” report, which will be published in March 2024.

Council will consider all suggestions, comments and concerns in conjunction with its stakeholders and relevant planning considerations when updating designs for each of the three projects.

Williamstown Foreshore precinct

The Williamstown Foreshore precinct is a place for living, locals, visitors of all kinds and an ecologically significant coastal environment. In the face of climate change, the precinct is committed to supporting and integrating climate positive design, increasing biodiversity, and celebrating cultural heritage and storytelling. This design process will inform planning and projects to meet the needs of the community, the precinct as a tourism destination and protection of the coastal landscape for now and into the future.

The Williamstown Foreshore precinct concept design highlights a network of open space areas along the foreshore precinct.
