ABOUT THE SHIRE
Colac Otway Shire is a picturesque municipality of approximately 20,578 people in south west Victoria, 138 kilometres south west of Melbourne along the Princes Highway. The shire covers a diverse land area of volcanic lakes, craters and plains in the north, the hinterland forests of the Otway Ranges and the famous Great Ocean Road coastline in the south. From the Great Ocean Road towns of Apollo Bay and Lavers Hill, to the beacon of the Cape Otway Lighthouse, the cascading waterfalls, nature trails and native wild life, the lush tree ferns of the rainforests and tall timber of the Otway forest, Colac Otway has it all. Colac is the key industrial, commercial and service centre for the shire with a population of more than 11,000. Situated on the banks of Lake Colac, Colac is only 74 kilometres from Geelong and 101 kilometres south of Ballarat. Apollo Bay is the other major urban centre with a permanent population of 1,100 that swells to more than 15,000 during the summer season. The municipality is serviced by three major roads – the Hamilton Highway, the Princes Highway and the Great Ocean Road, as well as rail passenger and freight facilities and a vast network of road transport operators. Lifestyle Colac Otway Shire offers a quality lifestyle with a thriving economy, which provides a variety of employment opportuni-ties and very affordable housing. New residents will appreciate the extensive choice of cultural, recreational and sporting facilities. Families can choose from numerous kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and childcare facilities throughout the shire. The Colac Otway Shire has a number of smaller settlements where community values and relaxed living is paramount. Consider the stunning coastal village of Apollo Bay, to quiet bush townships such as Gellibrand and Forrest, to charm-ing heritage settlements such as Beeac and Birregurra. All are within easy travelling distance of Colac. Industry & Economy Economically the region’s growth and prosperity is linked to its export-oriented primary producers – the dairy industry, fishing, timber and manufacturing industries. Transport is an important industry in our region as well as tourism-based developments.

History
The township of Colac was settled in 1837 by Hugh Murray, a pastoralist whom Colac’s main street is named after. Colac is positioned on the southern shore of Lake Colac which is 16.91km² in area and approximately 32.30km in cir-cumference. The name Colac is derived from the local Aboriginal people, Coladjin, who lived around the lake. Apollo Bay is a coastal town located on the Great Ocean Road, 188km south west of Melbourne on the Otway coast-line adjacent to the Southern Ocean. The town was originally established during the 1860s, served as a centre for whaling and timber industries and also serviced the surrounding agricultural district. It is also home to the first under-ground telephone link to Tasmania, established in 1936. The City of Colac, Shire of Colac and the Otway Shire amalgamated on the 23rd September 1994 resulting in the newly-formed Colac Otway Shire emerging as a stronger, more diverse and progressive municipality, well prepared to lead its ratepayers into the future. ARTS, CULTURE AND EVENTS Arts and cultural activities, interest groups, festivals and events thrive across the Colac Otway region. The Colac Otway Performing Arts & Cultural Centre (COPACC) is a state-of-the-art venue for the performing arts, films, functions and meeting room hire. The centre embraces the skills, arts, beliefs, traditions and aspirations of our community, providing theatre, live music, dance and exhibitions. COPACC inquiries can be directed to (03) 5232 9504 or go online to www.colacotway.vic.gov.au for more information.
Events Events and festivals across the Colac Otway Shire reflect the community in which they are held. The Shire assists the community to develop arts and recreation activities by providing funding on an annual basis. Major festivals include the Kana Festival in Colac, Apollo Bay Music Festival, the Colac Custom Car and Bike Show and the Birregurra Weekend Festival. Council has a policy of access for all to ensure people of all abilities have access to facilities and activities.

ENVIRONMENT Colac Otway Shire is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque municipalities in Victoria. It comprises spec-tacular coastal areas, lush rain-forested hinterlands and beautiful vast open plains with native grasslands and wildflowers. Council has a strong commitment to environmental management and this is reflected in our Environment Strat-egy 2010-2014 and the related Environment Action Plan. Our environmental commitment carries through to Council’s planning scheme overlays, timber industry guidelines, roadside management guidelines, our biodiversity incentive scheme and stormwater management plan as well as numerous other projects that are being under-taken to improve our local environment. Council’s Environment Department can assist you with information on native flora and fauna, sustainability, vege-tation removal, pests, weed control and environmental events.

FIRE PREVENTION Victoria is one of the highest fire prone areas in the world, with the Otways, plains country and Southern Victorian grasslands having a long and established history of devastating wildfires. In addition, townships see regular fires in industrial and commercial buildings and house fires affecting local families occurring on an all too regular basis. Awareness of how and why fires occur and cause the damage they do is vital in preparing the community to pre-vent, respond to and recover from the fires that affect us all. The shire’s fire prevention is managed in accordance with Council’s Municipal Fire Prevention Plan which outlines how Council, fire agencies and other relevant authorities and organisations will work together to prepare for, re-spond to and recover from wildfire. For more information of fire prevention visit www.colacotway.vic.gov.au or call Council’s Customer Service Centre on (03) 5232 9400.
Fire Inspections It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that they maintain their property in a safe, non-hazardous state during the fire danger period. Properties found to be non-compliant are issued with a fire prevention notice requiring maintenance works to be carried out within a set timeframe. Non compliance can result in court action. Burning Off For information on burning off or for a permit, please visit www.colac.otway.vic.gov.au or call Council’s Customer Ser-vice Centre on (03) 5232 9400.

POUND FACILITIES AND LOCAL LAWS
ANIMALS All cats and dogs aged three months and over must be registered with Council and must be microchipped prior to reg-istration. When you register your pet, Council will automatically issue with a registration tag that must be worn by your pet at all times. When your pet is wearing a registration tag, the tag number can be matched against the owner contact details to ensure a safe return. The tag will ensure that your pet is not mistaken for a stray. For a copy of registration fees or to download the registration form visit www.colacotway.vic.gov.au. Alternatively you can visit the Colac or Apollo Bay Customer Service Centres or telephone (03) 5231 4655. Animal Adoption Adopting a family pet from your local Council is a great option when considering pet ownership. All abandoned animals go through an assessment period to verify they are suitable for rehousing before being made available for adoption. If you have a preferred option for your family pet, officers will take your details and notify you if any animals become available that suit your circumstances. Livestock Primary production is an important part of the economy in Colac Otway Shire. Livestock is usually grazed in a fenced paddock but occasionally there is a need to move stock along roadways. For guidelines relating to moving stock or to obtain a permit, visit Council’s website.

PLANNING AND BUILDING Planning Council’s Planning Department has the responsibility for controlling land use and development under the Planning and Environment Act through the provisions of the Colac Otway Planning Scheme and for administering subdivi-sion in accordance with the Subdivision Act 1988. Statutory Planning Before you start a new business, construct a new building, alter a building or change the use of a building or land you will need to check with Council Planning Department to see if a planning permit is required. The permit gives permission for proposed works to be carried out and may be required subject to the land zoning and whether overlays apply. Strategic Planning The control of land use and development through the planning scheme is one of the most important tools avail-able to Council in implementing its planning policies and strategies. Council’s strategic planning functions are based around the preparation of forward planning policies and strategies that form a framework, providing direc-tion for land use and development across the shire. Enforcement It is Council’s responsibility to enforce compliance with the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and of conditions of issued planning permits. Council’s Planning Enforcement Officer is responsible for investigating complaints and potential breaches of the planning scheme. Breaches to the planning scheme or to a permit conditions can result in fines, enforcement or-ders or even prosecution in the Magistrates Court. Council always seeks to resolve non-compliance before taking formal steps, but often this action is needed to en-sure compliance is achieved.
Building Council’s Building Department provides a number of services including issuing building permits, siting variations and is the responsible authority for enforcement of illegal works. Building Permits A building permit is required for most building works from constructing a new house to changing the size of a win-dow. Before commencing any works it is advised that you check with a building surveyor to see if you require a permit. The permit must be in place prior to works commencing. Permits can be obtained through Council or a building surveyor. Swimming Pools All pools and spas containing more than 300mm of water must have a building permit prior to installation and a compliant safety barrier. Council carries out regular inspections to ensure safety barriers are kept maintained. Enforcement Where works are constructed without a building permit, it is Council’s responsibility to investigate the matter and commence enforcement action to resolve the issue. Works carried out without a building permit can become a costly and difficult exercise for the owner. A list of works that require a building permit is available on Council’s website or Customer Service Centres.
Most building works require a building permit irrespective of the size or cost of the project. For more information on any of the above information visit www.colacotway.vic.gov.au or contact Council on (03) 5232 9400.

TOURISM The Great Ocean Road and Great Otway National Park draw thousands of Australian and international visitors every year. Spectacular coastline and the natural beauty of the waterfalls, tall trees and lush fern forests provide a di-verse experience for those seeking a natural tourism experience. The hinter-land offers panoramic views from the dormant volcanoes across vast volcanic plains of lakes and craters which attract migratory wetland birds from Russia, China and other countries around the world. Visitors will discover galleries, wineries, tearooms and restaurants throughout the Otways offering a range of local produce and art and craft. For those looking for a more activity based experience there is a choice of walking and cycling tours, mountain biking, joy flights, horse riding, fishing, paragliding, golf, paddling with platypus and more. The two Visitor Information Centres in the Shire are located at: Colac Visitor Information Centre Corner Queen and Murray Streets Colac Ph: 1300 OTWAYS Great Ocean Road Visitor Information Centre 95 Great Ocean Road, Apollo Bay Ph: 1300 OTWAYS Call into the information centres to access information on things to see and do in the region.
