MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

6. Setbacks<br />

Minimum setbacks standards apply to residential uses under the Residential Design<br />

Codes through the Scheme. Minimum standards do not apply to commercial<br />

development and are generally determined by the presentation and availability <strong>of</strong><br />

parking as attractors for most retail centres.<br />

As one (1) <strong>of</strong> the objectives for the centre is to achieve external facing floor space a<br />

maximum setback is recommended to maintain contact with the surrounding street<br />

environs. The maximum setback still provides some opportunity for limited car parking<br />

within the setback area (if required), better surveillance from vehicles in the street and<br />

maintenance <strong>of</strong> a higher level <strong>of</strong> amenity for uses not directly within the busier traffic<br />

environments <strong>of</strong> Waverley Street, Grand Promenade and Alexander Drive. Specifically<br />

it is recommended that the maximum setback to Waverley Street and Grand<br />

Promenade boundaries shall be 16.5m and Alexander Drive boundary be 10m for<br />

better interaction with the proposed light rail station and bus interchange.<br />

Consultation/Communication Implications<br />

Should Council initiate an Amendment, it will need to be advertised for public comment in<br />

accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005 and the Town Planning<br />
