Greater Geelong City Council 28 August 2012 Agenda for Ordinary Meeting SECTION B - REPORTS Page 38 3. C246 – CONSIDERATION AND EXHIBITION OF LARA WEST GROWTH AREA REZONING AND PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN (CONT’D) Environmental Implications Planning is to consider the State Planning Policy Framework, the PSP Guidelines prepared by the Growth Areas Authority and the City of Greater Geelong Sustainable Communities Infrastructure Development Guidelines October 2010. Any new urban development of this size will increase energy use and greenhouse emissions. Emissions will be minimised by creating communities that contain services within walkable distances to encourage forms of movement other than the car. The Growth Area will also be large enough to support bus routes that link to the Lara Train Station, Lara Town Centre and the Geelong CBD. The area can efficiently connect to gas and electricity infrastructure immediately to the east. Smarter home designs, as advocated by the City’s Future Proofing Geelong Program, is a significant way for developers and home owners to reduce energy use. Barwon Water has indicated a preference for growth to occur in a structured, staged way, remaining closely aligned with trunk infrastructure. The Authority states that Class A recycled water will not be considered for the development at this stage and encourages the implementation of stormwater harvesting schemes for public open space. The flora and fauna assessment concludes that cropping, ploughing and grazing have significantly modified or removed remnant grassland communities through much of the study area. A Native Vegetation Precinct Plan forms part of the Amendment documents and includes identified conservation areas. Extensive revegetation will occur in areas of public open space, particularly along and in water ways, in conjunction with the surface water management strategy. Financial Implications Planning for the Lara West Growth Area will require Council resources. The main financial implications ultimately will relate to the provision of services and infrastructure for a new community. As detailed above, a Development Contributions Plan Overlay (DCPO) forms part of the Amendment. The purpose of the DCPO is to levy developer contributions for the provision of works, services and facilities before development can commence. Policy/Legal/Statutory Implications Clause 11.02 ‘Urban Growth’ of the State Planning Policy Framework requires planning authorities to ensure that sufficient land is available to meet forecast demand. The Lara West Growth Area is identified as “Future residential” in the Lara Structure Plan and Clause 21.13 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. Clause 21.13 supports the rezoning when a review of lot supply indicates rezoning is necessary to continue to achieve at least 15 years lot supply taking into consideration any infill opportunities that will not be realised in the short term.
Greater Geelong City Council 28 August 2012 Agenda for Ordinary Meeting SECTION B - REPORTS Page 39 3. C246 – CONSIDERATION AND EXHIBITION OF LARA WEST GROWTH AREA REZONING AND PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN (CONT’D) The Amendment submission includes an assessment of land supply in Lara by Spade Consultants Pty Ltd. The assessment finds that there is between 7 and 12 years supply of land. The assessment is considered accurate and provides sufficient strategic merit to advance the rezoning at this time. Lara West is also identified in the draft G21 Regional Growth Plan for planned urban growth. Officer Direct or Indirect Interest No Council Officers have any direct or indirect interest, in accordance with section 80(c) of the Local Government Act, to which this report relates. Risk Assessment There are not expected to be any notable risks associated with implementing the recommendation contained in this report. Social Considerations Councils are required to ensure a sufficient supply of land is available in designated growth areas for residential, commercial and other community uses, including affordable housing close to jobs, transport and services. The Lara West Growth Area will be a fully planned community that promotes affordable housing. The scale of development, staged over many years, will also be a significant economic and employment generator for the Geelong region. Communication On 5 December 2011 Council officers wrote to all directly affected landowners and occupiers informing them of the preliminary planning for the Lara West Growth Area. This was followed by a joint Council and proponent consultation meeting held on 15 February 2012, to which all owners/occupiers were invited. Notification of this Council Report has been given to directly affected landowners and adjacent landowners to the Growth Area. Formal public exhibition of Planning Scheme Amendment C246 will occur following this resolution, subject to authorisation from the Minister for Planning.
