barwon south western region

Region overview.

The Barwon South West region stretches from the tip of the Queenscliff Heads to the border of South Australia. It has a population of approximately 420,000 people and includes some of Victoria’s fastest-growing municipalities. The region comprises two sub-regions: G21 and Great South Coast (GSC). Both sub-regions have established alliances of regional stakeholders to complete extensive consultative plans and projects. The Barwon South West has three economies: one inland which is founded on agriculture; one on the coast that is dominated by tourism and amenity lifestyles; and one in Geelong which has a diverse economic and social base.

Bushfire:

Bushfire overlap map: From this map, we were able to narrow down our choice of the site as we were avoiding areas that have a high risk of bushfires. As a result; Glenelg, Colac-Otway and Southern Grampians were ruled out.

HEALTHCARE LOCATION MAP

Health:

The healthcare map gives an indication of the facilities available in each LGA. Geelong and Surf Coast were considered to have access to facilities in Melbourne due to the distance. Since a hospice requires an area with good access to other health care services; Warrnambool was evaluated as the top selection for a hospice proposal with its relatively higher health care facilities.

Blackout Map:

The blackout map visualizes how we eliminated different religions because of the data we gathered. By using related information such as bushfire map, heritage overlay, ocean sea rise, and contours, we were able to eliminate and narrow down the number of options for a site. Eventually, the map allowed us to narrow down the choices into 2 local government areas; Moyne and Warrnambool.
