Lifestyle
Country town living, planned for families.
Bannockburn is a growing township with a median age of 35 and an average household of 3.0 people. The draft precinct is planned around open space, creek corridors and a walkable local centre.
Parks and open space
The draft plan proposes a connected green spine along Bruce Creek, with local parks, shared paths and conservation areas threading through the neighbourhoods.
Shops today
Bannockburn Plaza and Milton Street shops cover everyday needs, with the full retail offer of Geelong about 16 km away.
Recreation
Bannockburn Bush Reserve, Brisbane Ranges National Park, Barwon River are all within easy reach for walking, riding, paddling and weekends outdoors.
Family first design
A quarter of Bannockburn residents are under 15. The draft plan reflects that with school sites, playgrounds and low speed local streets.
A town centre to come
A local town centre is proposed within the precinct, planned to sit alongside community facilities and open space rather than a highway frontage.
Wine and river country
The Moorabool Valley, the Barwon River and the Brisbane Ranges give the area its character: paddocks, granite country and short weekend drives.
