FIGURE 1 – SITE LOCATION The proposed development site is identified as Lot 27 on the above figure. The area identified as „Part of Lot 27‟ is a 27 ha area approved for seniors living development by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure in 2008. North Richmond is well serviced by the regional road network and is approximately four kilometres from Richmond Station, the terminus of Sydney‟s northwest rail line. Major retail facilities are available at Richmond and regional shopping is available at Penrith and Rouse Hill, approximately a 20 minute drive away. 1.3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT A Land Release Application to the Department of Planning was prepared by Urbis Urban Planning in 2009. The proposal identified the suitability of the site for residential development of 1,400 dwellings across 147ha, over the next 10 years. The NRJV have prepared a concept plan which includes the proposed development of: • Approximately 1,400 homes in addition to the Seniors Living Facility currently under construction • Local <strong>Council</strong> roads including bus route • Small scale local centre of approximately 1.0Ha • Retention and modification of three to four existing farm dams within the project site to become open water bodies • Construction of four primarily trunk drainage corridors (with a secondary riparian and tertiary open space function) separating planned residential areas • Retention of an existing farm dam on Redbank Creek and vegetation improvement to the primarily riparian corridor along the south bank of Redbank Creek, which extends along the project site perimeter 2 INTRODUCTION URBIS APPENDIX_O_COMMUNITY_NEEDS_ASSESSMENT
• Capacity improvements to a key component of existing stormwater infrastructure along with water quantity management downstream of the project site, discharging to Redbank Creek • An alternate east-west access to North Richmond to increase vehicle traffic road capacity • Multiple road connections to existing Grose Vale Road, Arthur Phillip Drive, Townsend Rd but no connection to Belmont Grove. The concept plan also provides proposed draft LEP zonings, which identify the proposed location of uses across the site (see Figure 2 below). A Local Centre is proposed, covering approximately 1.2ha, and providing a small group of shops servicing the local residents. The preferred location of the centre is in close proximity to Grose Vale Road and the existing seniors living development, which has already been approved. A multi-purpose community building is also proposed to be provided at Peel Park. It is anticipated that the community building would incorporate a Men‟s Shed, space for youth, aged and children‟s services, including a kitchen, car parking, and an interpretive Heritage facility. This building is proposed to be 300m 2 in size. URBIS APPENDIX_O_COMMUNITY_NEEDS_ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION 3
