FACILITY SERVICE EXISTING PROPOSED CUMULATIVE ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION TYPE PROVISION BENCHMARK PROVISION (WITHIN 5KM) DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENT (2021) for the provision of any additional community halls. The existing provision of three facilities within 5km will meet potential community need under cumulative population growth (2.34). Local parks (passive open space) 1:4,000 people 17 0.98 5.85 The site and surrounding area is served well by a good network of passive open space. This includes approximately 17 open space areas within 5km of the site. According to benchmarks the proposed development could trigger the need (0.98) for additional passive open space in the area. The existing provision of 17 areas of open space within 5km will meet potential community need under cumulative population growth (5.85). However the size and accessibility issues related to the existing areas of open space are unknown. The proposed development includes the provision of trunk drainage areas separating residential areas onsite. The primary and secondary function of these areas is for drainage and riparian improvements. However these areas will also provide a tertiary function as passive open space for use by the local population. Based on the existing provision of passive open space in the area, and the provision of open space onsite, it is anticipated that the proposed development will meet the needs of the community. Active open space 1:2,000 people 13 1.31 7.80 The existing area is served well by active open space including a number of sports pitches, ovals, skate parks and other facilities. There are approximately 13 active open space areas within 5km of the site. According to benchmarks the proposed development could trigger the need (1.31) for additional active open space to serve the needs of the local community and future residents. The existing provision of 13 areas of open space within 5km will meet potential 34 NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND BENCHMARKING URBIS APPENDIX_O_COMMUNITY_NEEDS_ASSESSMENT
FACILITY SERVICE EXISTING PROPOSED CUMULATIVE ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION TYPE PROVISION BENCHMARK PROVISION (WITHIN 5KM) DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENT (2021) community need under cumulative population growth (7.80). However the size and accessibility issues related to the existing areas of open space are unknown. The proposed development will include the dedication of land, and landscape embellishments, including vegetation, walking and cycling paths, signage and street furniture. This will promote active and passive use of, and improve access to, Peel Park and Redbank Creek. These embellishments will establish Peel Park as a significant regional facility. Horse riding 1:30,000 people Swimming pool 1:100,000 people Tennis courts 1:3,410 people 5 0.13 0.78 The proposed development, and natural growth, will not require the provision of horse riding facilities. 2 0.04 0.23 The proposed development, and natural population growth, will not require the provision of a public swimming pool 2 1.15 6.86 There are two tennis facilities in the surrounding area, including those located at Turnbull Oval in North Richmond. In comparison with provision benchmarks, the proposed development could trigger the need (1.15) for additional tennis facilities as part of the active open space offer. The existing provision of 2 tennis court facilities within 5km will not meet the potential community need under cumulative population growth (6.86). <strong>Community</strong> health care 1:20,000 people However anecdotal evidence from consultation suggests that there is no additional demand for tennis courts in the area, and the provision of additional active recreation as part of the proposed upgrade to Peel Park, will meet the community need for active recreation. 5 0.20 1.17 There are currently five community health services within 5km of the site.
