MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

3. Special Control Area<br />

Together with the zoning map changes Scheme text amendments are proposed<br />

introducing a new special control area for the Dianella Centre Plan and minor changes<br />

to existing clauses. A new clause is proposed to specify development standards under<br />

Part 6 - Special Control Areas, Clause 6.11.<br />

Amendments are necessary to introduce minimum standards for desired built-form to<br />

give effect <strong>of</strong> the Centre Plan vision. Clause 6.1.1 is required to be amended and new<br />

Clause 6.11 inserted, with development provisions on height and variations to the R-<br />

AC3 code.<br />

The following height and building form standards are proposed under the new Clause<br />

6.11:-<br />

All development within the District Centre zone shall have a minimum floor to<br />

ceiling height <strong>of</strong> 3.5m from natural ground level for the ground floor;<br />

The minimum height <strong>of</strong> buildings fronting Alexander Drive, Grand Promenade<br />

and Waverley Street, within the Special Control Area, shall be 15m, from the<br />

natural ground level <strong>of</strong> the verge (street level);<br />

The maximum height <strong>of</strong> buildings fronting Chester Avenue shall be a maximum<br />

<strong>of</strong> 15m;<br />

The maximum height <strong>of</strong> buildings fronting Kerry Street shall be 9.5m;<br />

The maximum height <strong>of</strong> buildings fronting Waverley Street (for residential zoned<br />

lots) shall be 15m; and<br />

Except as otherwise required in the Scheme the minimum building form in<br />

residential zones shall be three (3) storeys.<br />

Clause 6.11 also proposes to apply specific development objectives for the Dianella<br />

Special Control Area for clarity not provided under the Centre Plan, as follows:-<br />

To promote a diversity <strong>of</strong> uses and services in the Centre to encourage reduced<br />

car travel, shorter trips and better social interaction;<br />

To promote a centre that has multiple functions benefiting the community<br />

through appropriate social services and business mixes;<br />

To promote integration <strong>of</strong> built form and land uses with public transport<br />

infrastructure;<br />

To encourage building forms that provide for a long life span and adaptability for<br />

use, changing with time; and<br />

To apply the activity centre standards <strong>of</strong> the Residential Design Codes, to<br />

encourage consolidated housing forms and diversity.<br />
