jacana valley master plan visioning framework - Hume City Council

Introduction
Appendix C
Public Park and Recreation Zone (PPRZ)
The purpose of this zone is to recognise areas for public recreation and open space, protect
and conserve areas of significance where appropriate and provide for commercial uses where
appropriate.
This land is owned by Hume City Council and the Jacana Valley Master Plan is an opportunity to
build on existing policy for the planning of the area.
Retail Premises (i.e. café) uses are conditionally permitted within this zone.
Residential 1 Zone (R1Z)
There is a small strip of R1Z land within Jacana Reserve fronting Johnstone Street opposite
Westfield Boulevard. Within the local area, residential dwellings would appear to the be the
highest and best use for R1Z land in the study area.
Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO2) – Merri and Moonee Ponds Creeks Environs
The key objectives of this overlay are to maintain and improve the ecological function, waterway
function, recreation use, landscape character and heritage of these areas.
The Jacana Valley Master Plan would seek to build and enhance on these objectives for the study
area including Moonee Ponds Creek.
Melbourne Airports Environs Overlay (MAEO2)
This applies to a small portion of the VicRoads land on the western edge of the study area and is
not considered to be important in relation to the Jacana Valley Master Plan.
Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO1)
This applies to part of the VicRoads land required for the proposed E18 connection road linking
north of the study area to the Western Ring Road along the western boundary of the study
area and section on east near Freeland Grove Reserve above Broadmeadows Sporting Club.
Development of the E14 would have a significant impact on the precinct’s functions and values.
Special Building Overlay (SBO)
This applies to sections of the study area that are subject to inundation and development
should retain a free passage and temporary storage of floodwaters, minimise flood damage,
be compatible with the flood hazard and local drainage conditions and should not cause
significant rise in flood level or flow velocity. The study area will not be prone to negative levels of
development in accordance with these objectives and should not impact on this overlay and the
water quality of Moonee Ponds Creek.
