Homes show set for IPTv
BENDIGO’S residential Strategy will be reviewed because of greater than expected growth.
The State Government has announced a grant of $50,000 to carry out the review.
The review is needed because, according to the State Government, 40 per cent of the forecast growth between 2006 and 2031 had already been realised.
Regional Development Parliamentary Secretary Damian Drum made the announcement this morning.
Mr Drum said the Bendigo Residential Strategy Review would deliver greater community and investor certainty, helping the region grow.
“The Bendigo Residential Development Strategy was adopted in 2004 and is currently being audited because of the faster than anticipated growth that has occurred in Bendigo in recent years,” he said.
“Strong residential growth has many flow-on economic benefits and having a clear framework for future development will position Greater Bendigo City Council to undertake more detailed, place-based planning in the future.”
Deputy Premier Peter Ryan said about 40 per cent of the forecast growth between 2006 and 2031 had already been realised.
The Residential Strategy impacts directly on where and how property developments use “infill” parcels of land, range of housing styles and also on housing affordability.
“This project will review the strategy, assess current and estimated land supply and demand and consider various legislative and policy changes,” Mr Ryan said,
“It will also consider the latest demographic data and establish a new strategic framework to guide the long-term residential growth of Greater Bendigo.
“The project will result in a revised residential strategy that will give developers, the community and service providers greater surety and confidence about where land can be developed for residential purposes, and that sufficient land is available to accommodate the City of Greater Bendigo’s future growth.”
Mr Ryan said a contemporary strategic planning framework was essential to the economic development of a large regional centre like Bendigo.
“Clearly identifying future growth options and supporting infrastructure needs will enable the Greater Bendigo City Council and other infrastructure providers to plan their capital works programs well in advance,” he said.
“Identifying long-term growth areas will enable the council and other service authorities to start planning for the delivery of services, thereby minimising the lag time between when residential development occurs and when the services need to be in place.”

Production of regional Australia’s first ever dedicated real estate television program will begin in Bendigo next week.
The Bendigo IPTv-produced Bendigo Homes and Property Show will showcase select properties for sale with some of Bendigo’s leading real estate firms.
The show is the brainchild of Bendigo Publishing chairman and prominent real estate identity Keith Sutherland, who also hosts the series, which is backed by the Bendigo Weekly.
Mr Sutherland said the inaugural series of the Bendigo Homes and Property show would complement an already busy selling season for agents who are part of one of regional Australia’s most vibrant and best performing real estate markets.
“We all know Bendigo is booming and bringing a new concept and marketing opportunity to vendors is a great option for anyone wanting to be part of something innovative, something new and something distinctly Bendigo.”
The Bendigo Homes and Property show will be produced by award-winning cameraman and video producer Jamie Roberts from Cornerstore Media Productions, and will be available for viewing on Bendigo IPTv from late October.
As well as presenting the property of the week, the show will also include tips on interiors and landscaping to help vendors prepare their homes for sale, as well as advice from local real estate agents.
The property of the week will also be featured in the Bendigo Weekly Property Guide and on the paper’s website.
Weekly general manager Peter Kennedy said the new show was a positive step forward for the promotion of real estate in the region and a great way to link traditional print media with new and emerging internet technologies.
