Neighbourhood Character Study 2019

The Hobsons Bay Neighbourhood Character Study 2019 (NCS) has been used to inform the content and application of the new residential zones. The new residential zone schedules include design requirements for open space, landscaping, and setbacks derived from the study.

The character of Hobsons Bay ranges from the beach side or coastal areas, to the historic areas, to the garden dominated suburbs. The Neighbourhood Character Study describes the key characteristics and the preferred neighbourhood character of these distinct areas.
