Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
Executive Summary
The city of Victor Harbor has always been important for the state of South Australia. It is
one of the biggest tourist attractions of the area and it's location gives it a unique character.
Today there is a visible decay present that together with shifts in commercial trends, are
affecting the central area of Victor Harbor. Efforts are being directed in order to regenerate
and revitalise the decayed Ocean Street Main Precinct. This report presents a analysis of
the current situation of the area that takes into consideration literature review, a site visit
and comments from the city council and community groups. Here are presented the results
of the analysis together with a proposal for a master plan that addresses the identified
issues. 1. Project Definition
The Victor Harbor Main Street Precinct project has been prepared for the purpose of addressing
the scope of design work requirement to provide for the eventual and effective implementation of
a revised Main Street Urban Design Framework for the Ocean Street Precinct. It takes into account
important information about process, scope and anticipated outcomes for the project.
Development has been minimal during recent years resulting in a shifting of retail trends from the
main street to peripheral shopping centres. This trend has created the need for project to revitalise
the precinct of Ocean Street.
1.1 Objectives
The main objective of the project is to develop a comprehensive urban design framework for the
Main Street Precinct that encourages and supports a commercially vibrant and attractive shopping
and business centre that offers a diversity of activities and provides a friendly environment. In
order to achieve this objective of the project the Victor Harbor Main Street Precinct Committee
has identified series of precise goals which are:

Identifying opportunities for improvement of the presentation and amenity of the business
precinct through individual and cooperative arrangements involving landlords, business
tenants and council.
4
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report

Actioning initiatives within the Town Centre Master Plan and promoting revitalisation of the
Town Centre.

Identifying strategies to attract people and traffic to the central business district.

Communicating to residents and visitors the benefits of a strong and vibrant business
precinct and engaging their support and cooperation in the achievement of the
Committee’s objectives.

Reviewing the various strategic documents produced for and by Council to identify
priorities and initiate the “easy wins”.
The above five goals are the basis of the proposal which that is here presented as a master plan for
the works to be done on Ocean Street. The project has regard to balancing the range of issues
typically associated with urban renewal projects: economic, environmental and social aspects
regarding demographics, infrastructure, architecture, culture, heritage, landscape amenity, urban
design, population, tourism, commercial scenarios & retail mix, recreation, and employment.
There is also an important emphasis on both operational and environmental sustainability.
2. Context Because of the importance of the area to the city and the project, there are many issues that
where considered during the analysis and derived into a master plan. Here the issues are been
described under the following topics: Historical context,Physical context and Strategic context.
2.1. Historical context
The first people to inhabit the area of what is now Victor Harbor where the Ramindjeri people who
called the area ‘Wirramulla’ (The City of Victor Harbor 2010). European explorers surveyed the
area during the beginning of the 1800's and development has been present ever since. The name
Victor Harbor was given by Governor Gawler after HMS Victor in 1838 (Flinders Ranges Research
1996).Despite its rich soil situation and being one of the first harbours in South Australia, it was
until 1839 that a real town settlement began. It was this year when Reverend Ridgeway Newland
and 34 settlers (The group comprised his family, some relations and friends along with several
skilled farm workers and their families) arrived at Yilki in July 1839 (Caballero 2008). The arrival of
Europeans to the area was not much different than other areas of South Australia. The situation
5
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
was not easy and life was hard.
Illustration 1: Victor Harbor Circa 1910
2.1.1 Port Victor
By 1850 the new town began to be considered an important spot for trading. This situation created
close connections with Goolwa and the River Murry (Flinders Ranges Research 1996). The
establishment of the port created many jobs and with this, the construction of churches, hotel,
school, post office and police station and bridges soon came to the area creating the town of Port
Victor. The horse drawn railway was extended along the Causeway to Granite Island in the mid‐
1860s (The City of Victor Harbor 2010). The importance of this town as a commercial port lasted
nearly 2 more decades. As this importance decline, tourism to the area started to become popular.
In 1873 merchant and MP Alexander Hay and his second wife Agnes made the long trip to Victor
Harbor for a holiday. Mrs. Hay was so taken with it, that she persuaded her husband to build a
house there (Caballero 2008). This trend was later followed by many other families from Adelaide
creating the tourist industry that continues to be so important for the town and the area.
2.1.2 Tourist Town
The town started to reinvent itself in order to respond to this interest tourist have in it. Granite
Island’s improvements began in 1888 when the council began planting trees on it. The horse tram
passenger service to the Island ran from 1894 to 1954 (Caballero 2008). By 1897, a committee was
set up “to consider the improvement of Port Victor and its surrounds”. These improvements
included music, dance, films and the Literary Society, which also raised funds for other facilities
and groups (Caballero 2008). The town's name was changed to 'Victor Harbor' in 1921 blamed in
confusion with Port Victoria (Victor Harbor, South Australia 2010). The popularity of the area as a
trip destination was such that in 1926 the population of Victor Harbor was 2,500 visitor for the
6
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
next year were 60,000 (Caballero 2008). The next decades only brought more and more visitors to
town and with them; infrastructure and attractions were also developed. This popularity helped to
cushion the town from the worst effects of the Great Depression of the 1940s.
Illustration 2: Granite Island
This development of the city of Victor Harbor has been constant and continues up to our days.
According to Caballero (2008) these efforts include:

1969 – Granite Island declared a Fauna Sanctuary.

1973 – Proposed building of a casino at Encounter Bay (voted against by local people).

1986 – The horse tram service was reintroduced in 1986.

1989 – Tourist Information Centre opened in the old school house. This was moved to
railway terrace in 1994 and to its present site by the causeway in 1998.

1991 – Around 125,000 people visited the south coast to see whales.

1996 – Café and Penguin Centre opened on Granite Island.

2003 – Sculpture entitled “On Occupied Territory” near the foreshore and visitor centre
commemorates the encounter in 1802 of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin in
Ramindjeri Ngarrindjeri Waters, now called Encounter Bay.
This constant effort of improvement has changed the face of the city in many ways. This change
has not always been the best possible for the community or the city itself. The train no longer runs
to Victor Harbor from Adelaide as the rail gauge (size of track) was changed from Adelaide to Mt
7
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
Barker. A train called The Southern Encounter runs once a month from Mt Barker to Victor Harbor
from June to November. The Cockle Train operates between Goolwa & Victor Harbor every Sunday
and South Australian School holidays (Caballero 2008). Today the area is still a very important
tourist attractions for Australian and international tourist. 2.1.3 Heritage
The city of Victor Harbor has been affected for more than 180 years of settlement. This history can
be found in some of the historical buildings and sites that still can be found in and around the
Ocean Street Precinct. These heritage elements are diverse and must be taken into consideration
while planning something new for the area. They include old banks, shops, police station, diverse
retail precincts, the train station and trees. Heritage status may be awarded as State heritage or
Local Heritage (Appendix 1). According to the Victor Harbor District Centre (2001), Local Heritage
Registers have the aims of:

Identifying and preserving a community's collective identity, in its economic, cultural,
aesthetic and historical context.

Ensuring that change, as it inevitably occurs, is managed with proper regard to local
heritage values (eg. providing an integrated relationship between new housing and
established settlement).

Contributing to other community projects such as Main street programs, development of
local heritage/cultural tourism and assisting in the preparation of local histories.
2.2 Physical context The Main Street Precinct of Victor Harbor is an important retail and service precinct for the Victor
Harbor City, serving both the local community and that of the broader Fleurieu region. The activity
of the precinct also draws significantly from tourism visitation to the city and region, with Ocean
Street providing one of the primary thoroughfares for access to a number of the City’s key tourist
attractions. In recent years shifting retail trends have been reinforced by the more recent
development of other shopping centres in Victor Harbor. The main street, once the social hub of
Victor Harbor, is now struggling to keep businesses open and the City of Victor Harbor
acknowledges that to keep the precinct an attraction, something needs to be done. This, coupled
8
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
with minimal development and improvement projects in Ocean Street in recent years, has resulted
in the need for reinvention and renewal of the precinct.
2.2.1 Location
The City of Victor Harbor (Council) is a regional Council located 80km to the south of the Adelaide
CBD. The main street precinct is a highlight of Victor Harbor, showcasing heritage and also local
retail. Main street precinct is surrounded by Eyre Terrace, Railway Terrace, Albert Place, Esplanade
and Torrens Street (Appendix 2).
Illustration 3: Location of Victor Harbor
2.2.2 Urban form
Victor Harbor is largely made up of single story buildings with two stories around main commercial
centres of Ocean Street and Warland Reserve. Most commercial development consists of finer
grained, smaller buildings that offer a variety, texture and atmosphere to the streetscape. There
are some exceptions in the newly developed commercial area such as Woolworths shopping
centre. It is a larger development with comparatively featureless building surrounded by car
parking. Residential developments are mostly single storey homes on substantial land parcels. The
value of land around the foreshore is increasing day by day. New development in these areas
experiences two to three story medium density apartment and townhouse complexes rather than
9
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
traditional single story home. Open spaces along the foreshore allow free access to the coast
(Victor Harbor Town Center Master Plan 2006). Illustration 4: Ocean Street built form
2.2.3 Land use
Being a small town lived both by residents and visitors, Victor Harbor has a diverse type of land
use. Land use along the main entry routes to town centre such as Hindmarsh Road, present an
unpleasant collection of motor vehicle services, industrial and fast food premises. The main
commercial hub of the town exists within the study area for this report. Hospitality, retail and
professional offices are gathered around Ocean Street and Warland Reserve. Open space coastal
areas and other tourist attractions such as the horse drawn tram, the whale tail fountain and
playgrounds creates a hub of activity during the summer season peak tourism period. Significant
stretches of open space along the entire foreshore service the town’s recreational needs. These
include passive open space, lawn bowls and clubrooms, tennis courts and clubrooms, playgrounds
(Victor Harbor Town Center Master Plan 2006). 10

Illustration 5: Victor Harbor land use map
2.2.4 Business Activity
The major employers in Victor Harbor are in tourism, retail, light industry and primary production.
As the regional centre for the southern Fleurieu Peninsula, Victor Harbor provides a broad range of
retail, commercial and public service facilities. There are an estimated 800 business in Victor
Harbor operating across eight main categories of economic activities. Currently Ocean Street has
94 businesses listed, employing a total of 379 people (Ramage, 2010). Main economic activities:

Health, medical and community services/aged care

Primary industries

Retail/Restaurants

Hospitality and tourism

Construction

Education

Light manufacturing

Business services
11
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
Health, aged care and community services provide the biggest employment category. They provide
approximately 1000 jobs. There are 600 farms and 100 peninsula dairies. Meat and specialist foods
grown locally are sold nationally and exported. However, this sector is threatened by drought and
salinity. Retail and restaurants employ almost 874 people. There are 82 businesses supplying
overnight accommodation including caravan parks. They employ 354 people. Education
institutions, including four schools, two kindergartens and TAFE employ 176 staff for approximately
1820 students. Services and banking activities include accountants, lawyers and executives of
almost 322 people. 2.2.5 Tourism statistics
Most visitors are day trippers from Adelaide to Victor Harbor. Statistics shows that intrastate
visitors 505,000 (2.8 nights), interstate visitors 92, 000 (4.5 nights) and international 16,000 (12
nights) resulting in a total of 2.3 m nights’ accommodation. The main reasons for visit are holiday
(74%), friends and relatives (21%), business (2%) and education and other (3%) (Tourism SA, 2008)
(Ramage, 2010). 2.2.6 Recreational activities
Residents and visitors can enjoy an extensive range of sporting and recreational activities. The
Victor Harbor Indoor Recreation Centre provides for basketball, volleyball, table tennis, social
dancing, indoor soccer, gymnastics and other activities. There also opportunities to participate on
a social or competitive basis in golf, tennis, football, lawn bowls, croquet, petanque, netball,
hockey, horse riding, harness racing and sailing.
2.3 Strategic context
According to Victor Harbor Town Centre Master Plan, the goal of the city is to seek 'a commercially
vibrant and attractive shopping and business centre strategy'. It is stated as a goal for the study
area that ‘northern end of Ocean Street tends to provide the business and services needs of the
community with the southern end focusing on tourist based retail, hospitality services and
convenience food’. ( Town Centre Master Plan 2010)
12
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
2.3.1 Buy local policy
Statistics show that more than half of the visiting population is composed of day trippers from
Adelaide (Ramage 2010). This situation has created a hard time to create efforts on boosting local
economy. Therefore, the city council of Victory Harbor decided to encourage “buy local policy”.
This policy reflects the idea that attention should be paid more on meeting the needs of local
market and residents and not to relay so much on tourists (Ramage 2010).
2.3.2 Zoning
The study area is under Regional Town Centre (RTCE) zone in the council development plan. The
area is surrounded by foreshore (Fo) at the south and east and residential area (R) at the north and
west.
Illustration 6: Regional Town Centre
13
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
2.3.3 Building height
The height of development should generally not exceed 2 storeys (9 metres) above existing natural
ground level, other than that where identified by specific provisions contained in the policy areas
for the Regional Town Centre Zone. Buildings should be sited close to or abutting street frontages,
with particular attention given to creating defined edges to corner sites, Landmark Development
Sites and areas of public open space (Dev Plan 2010).
2.3.4 Landmark development sites
Victor Harbor Development Plan identifies some key ‘landmark’ sites within the Regional Town
Centre Zone. There are some specific guidelines for these landmark developments. These sites
provide the opportunity to expand upon the existing built form, adding to the vibrancy, liveliness
and sustainability of the Regional Town Centre. The arrangement of development on Landmark
Development Sites, limiting height at the street front and providing more substantial set‐backs to
upper levels will ensure that new buildings relate to the existing scale of built form in the town
centre at street level. Development on these sites will be carefully designed to be sympathetic to
Victor Harbor’s unique character.

2.3.5 Development Plan of Victor Harbor The Victor Harbor Development Plan sets out the strategy to accommodate the needs of the
population and visitors to the expanded urban area which has been and will continue to be one of
the State's primary tourist destinations. The town has expanded rapidly over recent years as a
result of its increasing popularity as a tourist resort and retirement area. The town contains a
range of tourist accommodation, including caravan parks, motels, hotels, guest houses, holiday
houses and flats. 3. Site requirements
Once the context has been established, the requirements for the project can be defined. The
project site needs to be considered in the context of Victor Harbor as presented in the previous
section. Addressing its status as a tourism/leisure destination while not forgetting the local
residence. Each person that lives the area will have different opinions about the requirements.
Here are presented the requirements as stated by different key groups interested in the
development of Ocean Street.
15
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
The Victor Harbor Town Centre Master plan states that the design outcome should consider the
points :
 Large format, lighter coloured paving units.
 Improved lighting.
 Improved furniture and rest spots.
 Improved pedestrian crossing points including regard for disabled access.
 Feature artworks (e.g. pavement art, fountain).
 Improved opportunities for outdoor dining (eg protuberance to create larger areas for
outdoor dining).
 Soft landscaping including street tree plantings, planter boxes and other vegetation
opportunities.
 Signage.
 Economic and social viability.
 Infrastructure feasibility (pavement, stormwater, service provision).
 Security and safety (application of CPTED principles), including CCTV.
 Operational and environmental sustainability of all facets.
 Treatment of approach points and intersections within the project area.
3.1 Healthcare and aging care
Aging people represent the biggest part of the permanent population of Victor Harbor. It is
perceived as a large village of retirement. Health and aged care services provide approximately
1000 jobs (Ramage 2010). this shows hos important it is for the project strategies to focus on this
age group as well to give importance of aging care industry and it's importance to local economy.
3.2 Tourism attraction
History has proven that Victor Harbor is a mayor tourist attraction. Many people visit the city for
holiday and leisure purpose. This tradition has allowed the city to present itself in a very attractive
way as part of a strategy to attract people to the area. It provides virtually everything needed for a
relaxing holiday such as sun, surf and sand, clear turquoise water, stunning views, outstanding
early colonial architecture, good pubs, cafes and restaurants. There are many activities in this area
include Greenhills Adventure park, encounter coasts discovery centre, horse drawn tram,
16
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
Urimbirra wildlife park and SA whale centre.
Tourism Research Australia estimated that $221 million are spent by intrastate visitors per year.
Even though that most visitors are day trippers they still spent approximately $148 million in
2008(Ramage 2010). Taking that point into consideration, the council encourages tourist based
retail, hospitality and food services as well as convenience retail.
3.3 Walkability
For the consideration of visitors and aged people, as well as boosting local small business, it is
reasonable to make the study area of Victor Harbor more walkable. This strategy includes
improving lighting, pavement, safety and accessibility. The pedestrian and traffic intersections
could be safer by well organised designs. An aim to create more routes to access the main street
(Ocean Street) is taken into consideration. There is a need to improve the car parking facilities
within the study area. Vivid signage and comfortable outdoor dining have proven to be good
methods to attract more people into the main street.
3.4 Environmental sustainability
All the factors mentioned above should follow the rules that the success of planning should
achieve the social, economical and environmental goals. Keeping an area environmentally
sustainable is a key issue for a long time healthy development. Therefore, any planning project
ought to pay enough attention on environmental sustainability. Because of the specific
characteristics of the activities that are present and the people that live in the city, maintaining a
sustainable environment is important to the economic development of Victor Harbor.
3.5 Summary of Survey result
The Victor Harbor Main Street Precinct Committee conducted the following survey in 2010 giving
the focus on how the area can be revitalised to retain its business and tourism. The survey was
responded by the local community and presents strong emphasis on three main criteria that are
infrastructure, land use/activities and image/character. The fist table represents peoples view of
the current condition of the area. The following graphs define what they think should and
shouldn't be present in a renewal plan for Ocean Street.
17
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
The following are the key desired outcomes for the Main Street Precinct of Victor Harbor, as
determined through a number of targeted workshops held by the City of Victor Harbor Council
with key stakeholder groups.
Staff workshop

4. Identified problems
After reviewing al the previous sections of this report together with a site visit and literature
research, a series of problems have been identified within the study area. There are mainly three
kinds of problems to be addressed by a master plan proposal for Ocean Street. These problems are
presented as followed:

Difficulty for car movement. The cross of Ocean Street and Coral Street easily creates traffic
congestion. This situation also happens at the cross of Eyre Terrace & Torrens Street, and at the
cross of Albert Place & Railway Terrace. The present situation with parallel parking on both
sides of Ocean Street has also proven to be a complication for traffic.
20
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report

Difficulty for pedestrian movement. Pedestrian crossing is hard on Torrens Street because the
high speed traffic and limited linkage. There are a series of intersections that are very
complicated to go by as a pedestrian, for example Albert Place and Railway Terrace. Walking
along Ocean Street has become a complicated task because of factors such as the bad
drainage, pavement and outdoor furniture.

Linkage to Facilities the presence of other commercial centres is not well managed creating a
situation which weakens the function of town centre. Car park on McKinley Street has not
provided linkages for pedestrian to reach Ocean Street. Coral street presents no real function
as a convenient access from tourism centre on Railway Terrace to supermarket on Torrent
Street.

5. Site analysis
5.1 Business activity
The Victor Harbor main street precinct mainly serves the role of commercial, visitor and cultural
focus for the southern Fleurieu Peninsula and provide a range of retail, administrative, visitor,
cultural, entertainment, community, business, educational and recreational facilities as well as
residential and visitor accommodation appropriate to the needs of the township and visitor
catchments. Illustration 15: outdoor activities
Illustration 16: indoor activities
The day to day activity is mainly focused around Ocean Street, the traditional business hub offering
a number of services such as retail outlets, cafés and pubs. Some night time activity occurs at the
end of Ocean Street and around the Warland Reserve where there is a concentration of café, take
away and hotels that service the entertainment needs of both locals and visitors. Another hub of
day to day activity is located on the newly constructed Woolworths shopping centre. Seasonal and
tourist activity is generally centred along the foreshore and around Warland Reserve precinct and
Ocean Street retail areas.
5.2 Road Network
According to the Town Centre Traffic Management Plan, two tiered road hierarchy such as primary
and secondary has been identified. Based on functional hierarchy, pedestrian, bicycle, public and
community transport, freight, tourist and community access exist in the study area. The current
configuration of the road network do not consider marked bike paths in the the central commercial
hub of the city. 23

Illustration 18: Bicycle network
24
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
5.3 Parking
There is no big parking lot or multi‐storied parking facilities in or around the shopping precinct
where shoppers can park their car and enjoy their shopping. The parking on Mckinlay Street is not
well accessed from Ocean Street. There are some other parking facilities on Stuart Street,
Esplanade and at the corner of Crozier Street and Torrens Street (Appendix 3). The main roads of
the shopping precinct namely Ocean Street and Coral street are allowed to on‐street parallel
parking which reduces the accessibility specially walkability of age or disabled people. 5.4 Demographic Analysis
The population of the City of Victor Harbor Council area is approximately 12,900 residents. At any
given time it is estimated that 2,000 or more additional visitors are residing in our community as
tourists or people frequenting their holiday home. At peak tourist season from December to
February the population grows to almost 30,000. 45% of all internal migration is to Victor Harbor
(Victor Harbor City Council). Changing pattern of population in the City of Victor Harbor

`The creation of a master plan has to present a balance the relationship between human society
and natural environment. Therefore, it is necessary to make research on the demographic data of
Victor Harbor. The aim is to know what the characteristics of the existing population, and to
provide a suitable artificially environment for them. At the same time, sustainability should be
achieved with meeting the needs of people for which a project is designed. Here are presented
seven aspects of population. These statistics create a base to understand the characteristics of the
population that will live the project.
5.4.1 Age Statistics
About half of the population (40.43%) is over 60 years old, as followed 20 ‐ 39 years and 40 ‐ 59
years, they are 25.93% and 14.71% respectively. Percentage of people is 5‐19 years old is nearly
the same with that of 20‐39, which is 14.8%. Finally, only 4.13% of population is among 0‐4 years. 25
13.27% of population in Victor Harbor was born in United Kingdom, this represents the biggest
overseas born group. The second biggest is “not stated” with 6.34%. the rest is divided into
Germany with 0.95%, New Zealand 0.73% and “born elsewhere” occupy 0.85%.
5.4.2 Age group changing
The population of Victor Harbor has been rising and is expected to continue this trend from 2006
—2021. in 2006 the population was about 12,229 and is projected to reach approximately 14,390
by 2021, this represents an increase of 17.7%. As the following chart states, this growth is not
equally distributed on all the age groups. A clear increase in the older generations can be seen.
There are even some age groups that are expected to decrease their presence in Victor Harbor.
Illustration 20: Changing pattern of population age group
26
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
5.4.3 Family statistics
60.21% of population report to be already married, and 7.4% of people are living under De Facto
marriage. This represent that most of the people within the study area live in families. There are
only 32.39% of the population that live alone.
5.4.4 Labour market changing
Total working age (15‐64 years) population in Victor Harbor is supposed to drop from 66% to about
58% during the period from 2006 to 2021. While the number of working people would rise from
6664 to approximately 7044. The workers share occupations averagely, from the biggest sector of
manager to smallest one of service work, which is 17.24% and 11.85% respectively. The other
three occupations that are between those two are technicians & trades workers (15.36%),
labourers (14.14%) and professionals (13.98%). Workers in the elderly age group are expected to
rise to about 2500. On the contrary, the number of working positions for the young is projected to
decrease.

6 Development objectives
Having analysed the current situation of the place and the people that are expected to live the
proposed project, a series of objectives must be decided. According to the Development Plan
(consolidated June 2010) of Victor Harbor City, the objectives and development control principles
are:

primary focus for business and commercial services providing a full range of shopping,
administrative, cultural, community, entertainment, education, religious, tourist, visitor and
recreational facilities, and office development.

linking of adjoining compatible developments by pedestrian paths, sharing of private and
public car parking facilities and compatible integration of new development with the
historic buildings.

accommodating medium to high‐density residential development in appropriate locations.

public realm as a safe, secure and attractive environment for pedestrian movement and
social interaction.

establish integrated and cohesive streetscapes.
6.1 Desired character
According to the Development Plan of Victor Harbor, the desired character for Victor Harbor
Regional Town Centre Zone will facilitate primary regional services, business, retail, visitor and
cultural focus for the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. The Centre will provide and expand upon the
diversity of land uses available including retail, administrative, visitor, cultural, entertainment,
community, business, educational and recreational facilities appropriate to the needs of the
township and the rural and visitor catchments it serves. However, this unique seaside character of
Victor Harbor will be preserved. As stated previously, the Regional Town Centre is a tourist attraction in its own right. A significant
focus for future development will be to improve the Centre as a vibrant and memorable holiday,
seaside destination, providing both residential and visitor accommodation opportunities. Include
modulation and detail in their frontages and façade treatments, simplicity in form, minimal or no
setbacks, use of balconies and verandahs and active land uses at ground level that engage the
public both passively and actively and help to create vibrant and lively public spaces.
28
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
The Regional Town Centre will develop its movement system by providing access, parking, high
pedestrian connectivity, safety and amenity. Development will have emphasis on creating safe and
attractive pedestrian networks particularly within and adjacent to the foreshore areas.
Opportunities to develop new pedestrian connections involving land in public and private
ownership are necessary to facilitate a fully integrated, ‘permeable’ and cohesive centre (Victor
Harbor Development Plan, 2010).
6.2 Heritage and conservation
As discussed in previous sections, the historical character of the area is very important and it must be taken
seriously in any proposal. Considering the legibility of main street precinct there are some local and state
Heritage buildings that give the precinct a unique character. As presented in Appendix 1, there are 32 local
heritage places and 11 state heritage places are located in the study area (Local Heritage Register, 2001). 6.3.1 Complying development

In order to generate a master plan, all the previous analysis have been put together with a place
making theory. This has been done with the objective of determining the design principles that
rule the final proposal. In this section a quick view of this process is presented. 7.1 Place making theory
The place making theory that has been used is represented with 3 areas that intersect in order to
create the sense of space. This means that a place is the conjunction of Activities that take place

8. Design factors
The following section analyses the physical characteristics of the study area based on 4 specific
factors. This creates the base for the master plan to be proposed in this report.
8.1 Movement and Parking
Car parking should be provided under or behind buildings so as not to be visible from the main
street frontages. Deck car parks should be developed in concealed areas, such as in the locations
identified in . Parking and movement should integrate with adjoining development, and should
serve the needs of shoppers, tourists and short term visitors. The Victor Harbor main street precinct can be lived in many ways. Being the main road and
33
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
requirement for more car parking to be provided in the area of Ocean Street and that any more
development that occurs should be accompanied with a net increase in available parking so as not
to increase the under supply of car parking (Victor Harbor master plan).
The way in which Ocean Street is lived is mainly pedestrian experience. There is a considerable
change to the pedestrian movement recorded in the “tourist” section of the town centre,
specifically Albert Place, The Esplanade and Flinders Street where the pedestrian volumes increase
during the peak weekend by as much as 6 times.(Victor Harbor master plan)
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
main pedestrian hub will be presented as the heart of the street both geographically and activity
centre. There are also key development sites that have been identified in order to create entry
statements to Ocean Street. Infrastructure improvement is also taken into consideration in order
to create a friendlier walking path both for old age residents and the tourist that will come to the
area.
11. Master Plan
The entire analysis presented in previous sections have guided the final proposal for the
redevelopment of the Main Street Precinct Master Plan. This plan follows the vision to create a
more pedestrian friendly environment, allowing several complementary activities to take place.
There is a proposed change in many aspects of the infrastructure of the area, a creation of entry
statements on both ends of ocean street as well as an emphasis on the pedestrian movement and
the linkage of the entire area. The master plan proposal can be found in Appendix The entire
Master plan relays in the following key factors:

Defined pedestrian crossing

Pavement change

Tree planting

Angle parking

Street signs

Public art

Drainage

Outdoor dinning

Bike lane

Linkage to other areas
11.1 Details
To understand in a better way the proposed master plan, a series of details are here explained.
These details are presented in different sections: Pedestrian safety, Bicycle lane, Infrastructure
changes and a series of Sections. The 3 main points of design (Northern entrance, Crossing of Coral
St. and Ocean St. and South end of Ocean St.) are also explained a little bit more in detail.
39
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
11.1.1 Pedestrian Safety
As presented with the analysis, pedestrians need a more friendly environment within the study
area. In order to achieve this goal, the master plan incorporates signage, well defined crossing
through colour paving, easy walking pavement and large areas with mix activities.
Illustration 28: pedestrian considerations in master plan
11.1.2 Bicycle Lane
The incorporation of a defined lane for bicycles has various objectives. First it brings the bicycle
network into the area that may be extended in future developments. In some parts of Ocean
Street this lane will divide the pedestrian area from the vehicle areas. At some points of the road
this section will be paved with permeable paving in order to help with drainage problems. A series
of bike parking areas will be situated along ocean Street to encourage people to use this mode of
transportation.
40
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
Illustration 29: Bike lane incorporation to the area
11.1.3 Infrastructure Changes
One of the most common topics of discussion in the analysis presented in previous sections is the
infrastructure decay of the area. An upgrade for this situation is present in this proposal. Some of
the key factors include the use of a different drainage system in the centre of the street, taking that
issue out of the pedestrian area. The use of simple and practical urban furniture should be
encouraged in order to give a better image of the street. A sustainable approach has also been
taken part of this proposal, not only with water management, but also with alternative energy
sources.

11.1.4 Sections
Here are presented 3 sections that represent 3 specific areas of the design. The first one (A‐A')
presents the proposed treatment for the linkage to be developed towards the parking area in
McKinlay Street. The second section (B‐B') presents the typical section of the areas that have the
angle parking, this area would have permeable paving on the bike lane. Finally, the third section
here presented (C‐C') Shows the area just south of the intersection with Coral Street, an area
where more space has been dedicated to pedestrian activities.

11.2 Areas of interest
The analysis of physical characteristics clearly represents 3 areas of mayor interest(North, Centre
and South of Ocean Street. In order to create a more defined Master Plan, these areas have been
considered in more detail and are here presented.
11.2.1 North Entrance
Being the main entry way to Ocean Street, this area should be more attractive to people. It should
have an appeal to people and a way of stating that there is something interesting down the road. A
fountain with spectacular sitting arrangement under tress has been proposed. Artwork will attract
people from away of the road. On the other side of the road, a living sign will welcome everyone to
the main street precinct. This area will also host the beginning of the bike lain.
heart of tourism
Illustration 35: North entrance proposal
44
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
11.2.2 Crossing of Ocean and Coral
Walking has been encouraged in this master plan because it is the most efficient and the only fully
sustainable mode of travel. From a commercial viewpoint, a good walking environment will attract
customers and investors and ultimately this will be reflected in land and property values and rents.
This area has been thought to become the heart of pedestrian activity along Ocean Street. It will
also be used as an attractor of new activities such as the weekly market into Ocean Street. It
concentrates the more area dedicated for pedestrian activities.
Illustration 36: Crossing of Ocean and Coral proposal
45
Ocean Street Precinct Master Plan Report
11.2.3 Southern end
Street trees, canopied, verandas and deciduous pergolas can provide shade and shelter for
pedestrian. Especially the sunlight of Southern Australia in summer is very strong. Sufficient shelter
can be very helpful to build friendly pedestrian environment. This area is already going to be
presented with a major development, so here just a compliment for this development has been
proposed. The creation of sheltered areas will create a more intimate environment without
isolating the area from the rest of the project.
Illustration 37: Southern End proposal
There are some real examples of this proposed sheltering system in the city of Adelaide,
specifically Cheeser Street. This elevated planting creates good shelter and better visual amenity
for walkers. Another issue addressed in this area has been pedestrian safety, this can be created
through new pavement on the area. The paving pattern would slow down the traffic at the south
end of Ocean Street and make people safer when crossing the street.

13. Conclusion
Feeling the necessity of the project of Main Street, the city council has already done some effort to
revitalise the area. Master plan for the entire area, traffic study, economic and demographic study,
tree evaluation and heritage listings have been worked out. There still more to be done specifically
for the central area of the city. The master plan proposal for Ocean Street is contemplating the
further needs of the city taking into consideration all the site requirements along with the
historical, physical and strategic contexts. The proposal here presented has been carried out by taking into consideration of the local people’s
opinion. The survey done by Main Street Precinct Committee in 2010 is the reflection of public
participation in this master plan preparation procedure. This report has been created basically to
provided ideas and strategies that can be used to attract people to the central business district.
However, the implementation procedure may be different considering the feasibility of design and
budget.
The main concern of this plan is to make Ocean Street precinct a people friendly destination. The
aim of the plan is to develop this shopping area a comfortable, pedestrian friendly, attractive and
pleasant place to spend time. Considering the economic sliding, the Main Street business area
needs to be more attractive for customers and investors. The design has given emphasis to create
efficient linkages between Ocean Street and surrounding business and tourist hub to make the
area more accessible and lively. 50
