Summerland Peninsula Master Plan

The Phillip Island Nature Parks is seeking a Principal Designer to coordinate a highly skilled multi-disciplinary design team for the provision of design works to develop the Summerland Peninsula Master Plan.

The purpose of this project is to renew the 2012 Summerland Peninsula Master Plan and to revisit the original objectives of:

• A creative and innovative redirection to define the area as a ‘destination.’
• A precinct wide vision that encapsulates the potential of the site for more diverse and layered ecotourism and recreational experiences.
• Better integrate environmental management, education, and research within the visitor experience.
• New or replacement facilities that represent best practice contemporary sustainable design standards for ecotourism facilities.
• Redefine the relationship between the Nature Parks, the Summerland Peninsula, and the local community.

Through a robust stakeholder engagement process the scope of works will facilitate the identification of goals and updated objectives from key stakeholders for the project, however, key objectives of the refreshed Master Plan include:

• People move in throughout the Peninsula to points of interest without damage to habitat and wildlife or compromise to other users experience.
• The Summerland Farm complements the environmental and tourism experience on the rest of the peninsula.
• The Nobbies Centre purpose is clear and any infrastructure to complement this purpose is sustainably designed for the future.
• Bunurong culture is evident to all community and visitors.
• The Phillip Island Community appreciate, respect and champion the Peninsula and its future vision.
• Infrastructure solutions are achievable and can be maintained within the Nature Parks operating model.

Contingent on the successful completion of the Master Plan the principal consultant may be provided a Notice to Proceed to advance designs for the Nobbies precinct to detail design.
