Winery and Accommodation approved – on The Bellarine

We were recently successful in achieving a planning permit for a winery and cabin accommodation on the Bellarine Peninsula just outside Leopold, east of Geelong.

Some grape cultivation was already in place and our clients wanted to expand the wine making operation to include on-site processing and sales to the public, along with a food service/cafe, and some cabin accommodation.

Our services included full design of the winery, and the cabins as well as processing the planning permit application and managing consultants. The sloping site with views over Lake Connewarre provided an ideal setting, although with design issues that required careful planning and resolution.

The City of Greater Geelong ultimately issued a planning permit, as sought, with all concerns addressed and overcome, thanks to the skills of our architects and the planning team. We can’t wait for the opening!
