A planned growth precinct — Warrnambool City Council (in planning)

Lifestyle

Coastal regional living, at regional prices.

Warrnambool offers something few growth fronts can: a genuine coastal city with beaches, a working CBD, sport, festivals and hospitals — and a new community planned around parks and walkability on its eastern edge.

Everyday life

What's around you.

Parks & open space

The draft plan threads a network of local parks, waterway corridors and green spines through the precinct, so most homes are a short walk from open space and a shared path.

Shopping & services

Gateway Plaza and the Warrnambool CBD (Liebig St) cover everyday and weekend shopping, with a local town centre planned inside the precinct as the community grows.

Coast & recreation

Lake Pertobe, the Logans Beach whale nursery and the Warrnambool foreshore promenade are all within a short drive — winter whale watching, summer swimming and a promenade that runs the length of the city's beaches.

Family-first design

With a median age of 42 in Warrnambool and 17% of residents aged 0–14, the precinct is planned around walkable streets, schools and playgrounds rather than car-only living.

A town centre to come

A walkable local centre is planned as the heart of the precinct — cafés, everyday retail and community facilities within the neighbourhood rather than a drive away.
