Marong Township Structure Plan
The Marong Township Structure Plan is now a statutory implementation framework rather than only a strategic plan: Amendment C263gben was gazetted on 29 May 2025, bringing new local policy, zones and overlays into effect for the township and adjoining growth areas (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf). Its planning function is to move Marong from a rural-service township of about 1,413 people in 2019 toward an approximately 8,000-person satellite settlement, while using flood, bushfire, heritage, vegetation, odour-buffer and infrastructure controls to decide where that growth can actually occur (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.16).
The mechanism is deliberately staged. The amendment rezoned established township land and applied overlays now, but left the major new residential precincts to future planning, development plans, servicing resolution and, where needed, later proponent-led amendments (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.27, 71). That means the plan gives Marong a growth direction and an infrastructure list, but it does not itself make all mapped growth land development-ready (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.27).
Background
Marong is about 15 kilometres west of Bendigo City Centre and sits at the meeting of the Calder Highway, Calder Alternative Highway and Wimmera Highway, with Bullock Creek, Fletchers Creek and the non-operational Inglewood broad-gauge railway crossing the township context (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.16). The idea of Marong growing as a larger satellite township was identified in the Bendigo Residential Development Strategy in 2004 and confirmed through the Greater Bendigo Residential Strategy in 2014, The Marong Plan 2011 and the Loddon Mallee South Regional Growth Plan 2014 (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.16, 18).
Council began early work on the structure plan in 2016, released a draft for public comment in 2017, undertook consultation on the final draft from 20 June to 20 August 2018, and adopted the Marong Township Structure Plan on 16 September 2020 (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.18). Amendment C263gben was authorised on 31 October 2022, exhibited from 25 May to 7 July 2023, heard by a Panel in February 2024, adopted by Council on 24 June 2024, and gazetted on 29 May 2025 (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf).
The amendment implements three main bodies of strategic work: the Marong Township Structure Plan, the Marong Flood Study and the Marong Heritage Citations Study (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf). The amendment changed the Planning Policy Framework, rezoned land within and adjoining the township, applied the Heritage Overlay, Design and Development Overlay, Development Plan Overlay, Floodway Overlay and Land Subject to Inundation Overlay, and introduced new incorporated and background documents (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.9, 13).
Analysis
Statutory Effect and Planning Mechanism
The most important statutory point is that the structure plan itself remains a background document, not an incorporated document (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.27). The Panel supported that approach because the growth areas were not being rezoned in full through C263gben and because regional infrastructure questions, including the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct and Marong Western Freight Corridor, were still being planned (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.27).
This creates a two-layer planning system for Marong. The existing township now has live statutory changes, including replacement of Township Zone areas with more specific Neighbourhood Residential Zone, Mixed Use Zone and Commercial 1 Zone controls, while future growth precincts are guided by the structure plan, local policy and future development-plan or rezoning processes (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.13, 27, 71). In simple terms, the old one-size township bucket has been split into more precise buckets, but the largest new buckets still need more work before they can be filled (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.27, 71).
The practical effect was visible soon after gazettal. A December 2025 childcare-centre application at 42 Torrens Street was lodged before C263gben but assessed after gazettal, and officers recorded that the site had changed from Township Zone and Development Plan Overlay to Neighbourhood Residential Zone and Design and Development Overlay (Source: Council-Meeting-Agenda-December-15-2025.pdf, p.46). Officers also recorded that the removal of the former Development Plan Overlay Schedule 6 notice-and-review exemption was the most consequential procedural change for that application, because notice under section 52 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 was then required and objections were received (Source: Council-Meeting-Agenda-December-15-2025.pdf, pp.46, 52). This shows that C263gben did not merely update maps; it changed how individual permit applications are notified, assessed and contested (Source: Council-Meeting-Agenda-December-15-2025.pdf, pp.46, 52).
Land Supply, Yield and Growth Containment
The plan’s headline settlement target is an approximately 8,000-person township, but the land budget is more constrained than that number suggests (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.16, 17). The land use budget identifies 214.44 hectares of residential land in the study area, but after native vegetation, an education site, retarding basins, recreation reserves and local parks, connector roads and intersection land, the net developable area is 182.78 hectares (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.17). Using the structure plan’s 2.6 persons per dwelling assumption, the population target depends on how much of that net land can be delivered and how closely later subdivisions achieve the assumed densities (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.17).
The plan uses different density expectations for different settlement forms. Existing and future low-density residential areas are identified for densities below 8 dwellings per hectare, undeveloped land within established or recently subdivided areas is expected to support an average of 11 dwellings per hectare, and the township core and mixed-use areas are intended to accommodate medium-density housing (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.64). The Panel noted that the 11 dwellings per hectare assumption, equivalent to an average lot size of about 900 square metres, was consistent with bushfire-interface planning guidance in this context (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.29).
The structure plan does not release every logical expansion parcel at once. Precinct 2A was moved into the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct investigation area, with its ultimate land use to be determined through that process rather than through the Marong plan alone (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 56). The Panel accepted that Precinct 2A may have locational attributes for residential use, but found that its short-term inclusion in the employment precinct investigation area was appropriate because BREP interfaces and the freight corridor need to be resolved first (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.10).
The clearest planning trade-off is that Marong is being contained to limit impacts on surrounding farmland and farming operations, but the same containment means that several expansion questions become technically dependent rather than automatic (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.17, 37). The Panel supported monitoring possible extensions to Precinct 1 and Precinct 4, but only where odour, freight-corridor alignment, infrastructure servicing, bushfire and drainage constraints can be resolved (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.37, 91).
Infrastructure, Movement and Staging
The transport problem is structural: Marong’s town centre is also a state-highway junction, so township growth increases local demand in the same place where regional freight and through-traffic already create barriers for pedestrians, cyclists and local traffic (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.46). The structure plan estimates that growth generated by its recommendations will add about 16,300 daily vehicle movements, excluding existing and through traffic (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.46). That number explains why the plan treats the Western Freight Corridor, intersection upgrades and active-transport links as enabling infrastructure rather than optional improvements (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.46, 55-58).
The infrastructure table identifies multiple road and intersection projects, including Salvarezza Road boulevard collector road, an east collector road, a potential alternative freight route, the Salvarezza Road bridge, upgrades at Landry Lane/Wimmera Highway, Wimmera Highway/Calder Alternative Highway, Calder Highway/Calder Alternative Highway, Goldie Street/Calder Highway, Allies Road/Calder Highway, and a new east collector road intersection with Calder Highway (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-56). Some projects are proposed for inclusion in a Development Contributions Framework, while ultimate state-government projects, such as the alternative freight routes and railway station works, are noted as subject to business case and funding (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-57).
The plan’s infrastructure funding language changed during the amendment process from a Development Contributions Plan framing to a Development Contributions Framework and future shared infrastructure funding plans (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.22, 110). That is significant because the available source material lists projects and whether they are proposed for contribution-framework inclusion, but it does not provide levy rates, cost apportionment, per-hectare charges or per-lot charges (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-58). The analysis can therefore identify infrastructure dependencies, but it cannot test whether the contribution burden is proportionate across parcels or adequate to fund the listed works (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-58).
Water and sewer servicing are live constraints rather than background utilities. The structure plan states that Coliban Water was undertaking works to upgrade Marong’s reticulated potable-water system to meet current needs and that new development areas could be accommodated but would likely require additional infrastructure determined by Coliban Water at the appropriate time (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.22). The infrastructure table lists potable-water and wastewater augmentation for existing development as a short-term Coliban Water responsibility and additional upgrades to serve development above the 195 metre contour line up to 200 metres as a medium-term Coliban Water responsibility, with neither item proposed for inclusion in the Development Contributions Framework (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.57).
Flooding, Drainage and Encumbered Land
Flooding is not a minor overlay issue in Marong; it is one of the main reasons the plan differentiates between developable land, encumbered open space and infrastructure land (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.16, 23-24). The Marong Flood Study modelled Bullock Creek and Fletchers Creek and recommended planning-scheme updates based on the 1 per cent Annual Exceedance Probability design results (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.16). The incorporated Marong Local Floodplain Development Plan applies to land affected by the LSIO and FO in the flood-study area and requires permit applications to demonstrate compliance with performance criteria (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.413-416).
The floodplain plan records major flood events in 1870, 1974, 1978, 1983, 1992, 1995, 2010, 2011 and 2016, with the January 2011 event estimated at approximately a 1 per cent AEP flood and the September 2016 event estimated at approximately a 5 per cent AEP flood (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.416). It also records that flooding has historically caused little damage to buildings because development has mostly occurred outside the floodplain, but high flows can affect Calder Highway and Marong-Serpentine Road access (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.416).
The development mechanism is performance-based. Major residential subdivisions must fill all lots to at least 300 millimetres above the 1 per cent AEP flood level and must achieve a cut-and-fill balance of 1.3 cubic metres of cut for each 1.0 cubic metre of fill (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.415-417). New dwellings must generally have finished floor levels at least 300 millimetres above the 1 per cent AEP flood level, while some extensions and non-habitable buildings have separate criteria (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.417-419).
Drainage infrastructure also takes land. The township infrastructure table identifies eight retarding-basin or water-harvesting basin items, including three Precinct 1 basins, two Precinct 2 basins, two Precinct 3 basins and one Precinct 4 basin with a pump and water tanks for the sports facility (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.56-58). Most of these drainage projects are proposed for contribution-framework inclusion, but the source material does not give basin-by-basin land-take areas or costs, which limits parcel-level yield analysis (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.56-58).
Bushfire, Odour and Interface Constraints
Bushfire risk is managed through both spatial planning and design controls. The bushfire assessment found no large contiguous areas of high-fuel forest causing extreme bushfire behaviour across the landscape, but it identified grassland hazards, possible northern fire approach and higher-hazard BMO locations on parts of Precincts 3 and 4 (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.29). The amendment uses DDO and DPO controls to require setbacks and exposure outcomes, including a maximum BAL-12.5 exposure level and setback distances including 19 metres from grassland/agricultural land, 20 metres from roadside vegetation and 33 metres from woodland vegetation, with flexibility where a qualified report demonstrates the exposure outcome can still be achieved (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.30-34).
The odour buffer around the Scott’s Gallus Lane broiler farm is a harder staging issue for Precinct 1. The structure plan applies a 1 kilometre buffer from the broiler farm at 74 Barnes Road, and the Panel supported that approach while also supporting a future monitoring action that could consider extending Precinct 1 if odour, freight-corridor, servicing, bushfire and drainage matters are resolved (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.34-38). The broiler farm owner recorded poultry production on the property since the 1950s, broiler-farm operation since the 1970s, and current production of around 1.1 million birds per year, which explains why the buffer is treated as protection for both residential amenity and ongoing agricultural operation (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.38).
The evidence on odour was contested. A GHD assessment calculated a 472 metre separation distance for a 200,000-bird capacity and considered the risk of odour impacts within Precinct 1 low, while a Tonkin & Taylor review supported a 1,000 metre buffer for existing or future residential zones or a 750 metre buffer for existing or future rural living zones (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.35). EPA advised that a 1 kilometre separation distance gave assurance for amenity and farm protection and recommended further assessment before any variation, including either operational compliance assessment or a Level 3 odour risk assessment requiring at least 13 odour surveys and dispersion modelling (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.36-37).
Town Centre, Community Facilities and Housing Diversity
The plan positions Marong’s town centre as the civic and activity focus for the 8,000-person settlement, not as a bypassed remnant centre (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.36-39). The commercial floorspace target in the structure plan is 3,000 square metres of supermarket floorspace and 2,250 square metres of specialty retail and other commercial floorspace (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.38). The town-centre controls require zero setbacks for commercial buildings, weather protection over footpaths, building heights no more than 10 metres, and at least 75 per cent transparent ground-floor windows to support passive surveillance (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.38).
Community infrastructure is planned as a network rather than as single-purpose sites. The plan identifies a 0.61 hectare community hub, a 3.5 hectare education facility, a 12 hectare neighbourhood sports facility with township-park function, several 0.4 hectare neighbourhood parks, Malone Park as an upgraded township-level park, and 22.14 hectares of encumbered Bullock Creek floodplain open space (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.45). This shows that floodplain and recreation planning are linked: some land that cannot carry conventional development becomes part of the open-space and trail system instead (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.43-45).
The December 2025 childcare-centre report demonstrates how the centre designation is already shaping permit assessment. Officers assessed an 88-place centre at 42 Torrens Street as consistent with Marong’s future role as a self-contained satellite settlement, noting the site was within the activity centre, close to Marong Kindergarten and Primary School, and able to serve existing and future demand generated by growth (Source: Council-Meeting-Agenda-December-15-2025.pdf, pp.49, 53-54). This is a useful early signal that the structure plan is being used to support community-service uses in and near the activity centre, even where objectors raise local amenity, drainage, traffic, parking and noise concerns (Source: Council-Meeting-Agenda-December-15-2025.pdf, pp.52-55).
Heritage, Vegetation and Cultural Values
The amendment applies the Heritage Overlay to eight new places, with statements of significance for each, and the broader heritage citations work assessed 12 places while explaining why some places did not meet the threshold or were not recommended for overlay application (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf; Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.17). The heritage places include examples such as 12 Leslie Street, 13 Cathcart Street, 19 Cathcart Street, 82 Goldie Street, 1329 Calder Highway, 1880 Calder Alternative Highway, Adams Street Palms and the railway bridge over Bullock Creek (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.418-440).
The Panel supported applying the Heritage Overlay to 1329 Calder Highway and 12 Leslie Street, subject to minor changes, but also found that the structure plan needed stronger recognition of Aboriginal cultural heritage values (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10-11). Later changes added requirements for cultural-values assessment early in strategic planning processes, including assessments that have regard to waterways, vegetation and cultural heritage significance (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.23, 28).
Vegetation is treated as both character and infrastructure. The structure plan requires arterial, sub-arterial and collector-road nature strips to be at least 5.5 metres wide to support large canopy trees, discourages removal of high-significance roadside vegetation, and expects widened road reserves where road sealing cannot fit without vegetation loss (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.28). This matters because Marong’s semi-rural character is not protected only by density controls; it is also protected through road cross-sections, frontage design, creek interfaces and vegetation-retention requirements (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.27-31).
Current Status
Amendment C263gben is complete and in effect after gazettal on 29 May 2025 (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf). The amendment has implemented the Marong Township Structure Plan, Marong Flood Study and Marong Heritage Citations through planning-scheme policy, zoning, overlay and document changes (Source: C263-Marong-Township-Structure-Plan-page.pdf). The next phase is implementation through permit decisions, development plans, infrastructure planning, contribution-framework work, BREP planning, freight-corridor planning and future rezoning of growth precincts where constraints are resolved (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.27, 55-58, 91).
Dependencies
- Blocks: Unresolved planning for Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 west of Calder Alternative Highway can delay rezoning where the Marong Western Freight Corridor alignment is not confirmed (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10-11, 91).
- Blocks: The 1 kilometre broiler-farm buffer limits westward residential expansion unless odour risk, EPA satisfaction and other constraints are resolved (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.37-38, 91).
- Blocked by: Growth-area delivery depends on potable-water and wastewater augmentation by Coliban Water, including medium-term upgrades above the 195 metre contour line up to 200 metres (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.57).
- Blocked by: Some major transport outcomes depend on Department of Transport and Planning, VicTrack, business cases and state funding, including alternative freight routes and a future railway station (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-57).
- Informed by: The plan was informed by land capability, bushfire, heritage, flooding, stormwater, economics, transport and movement, and recreation investigations (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.16).
- Implements: The amendment implements long-running strategic directions from the 2004 Bendigo Residential Development Strategy, 2014 Greater Bendigo Residential Strategy, The Marong Plan 2011 and Loddon Mallee South Regional Growth Plan 2014 (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.16, 18).
- Conflicts with: Residential expansion has unresolved interface tensions with the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct, Marong Western Freight Corridor, broiler-farm operations, bushfire setbacks, floodplain controls and drainage infrastructure (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 34-38, 55-58).
Cross-Jurisdictional Links
The most important external link is the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct, which the Victorian Planning Authority is planning immediately south of Marong and which may provide significant future industrial land supply and local employment functions for the growing township (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 70). The structure plan identifies the BREP as a large area between the Wimmera and Calder Alternative Highways, with potential to accommodate between 2,000 and 3,000 jobs (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, p.70).
The second external link is the Marong Western Freight Corridor, which is being planned by the Department of Transport and Planning to support BREP and reduce freight pressure through Marong (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 46). This is a cross-agency dependency because residential staging, town-centre amenity, BREP access, state-highway operations and the future alignment of freight movement are tied together (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 46, 55).
Water, sewer, floodplain and emergency-management dependencies also extend beyond Council. Coliban Water, North Central Catchment Management Authority, CFA, EPA, DTP, DEECA, Powercor and DJAARA are all identified in amendment or action-plan processes, which means later growth-area decisions will need agency agreement rather than only municipal assessment (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.18, 37, 91).
Gaps in This Analysis
The source set is strong on statutory status, Panel reasoning, the structure-plan text, flood controls and issue framing, but thin on costed infrastructure delivery (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-58). The infrastructure table identifies projects and whether they are proposed for inclusion in a Development Contributions Framework, but the available documents do not provide final contribution rates, project cost estimates, cost apportionment, land-credit methodology or per-lot charge effects (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.55-58).
The source set also lacks the full technical appendices for transport modelling, stormwater modelling, economic assessment, land capability and the detailed Coliban Water servicing strategy (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.16, 55-58). Because those documents are not separately available in the manifest, this page cannot calculate intersection failure thresholds, basin land-take by parcel, ultimate sewer-capacity triggers, development-contribution burden, or parcel-level net developable-area sensitivity beyond the structure-plan land budget (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.17, 55-58).
A further gap is the current status of the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct and Marong Western Freight Corridor outside the C263gben attachment set (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 70). Those projects are decisive for Precinct 2A, Precinct 1 staging and freight impacts, so the next compilation pass should seek the VPA BREP project material, DTP freight-alignment work and any associated agency business cases or consultation reports (Source: City-Greater-Bendigo-Attachments-C263gben-Marong-Structure-Plan.pdf, pp.10, 46, 70).
