hansen partnership Korumburra Town Centre Framework Plan: Policy Review # Document name Summary Key issues / implications for framework plan Zoning To improve highway traffic movement through the town. To provide strong pedestrian and cycling connectivity to the Town Centre, key community assets and the schools. Relevant strategies: Maintain a compact, convenient and well-connected Town Centre that is the primary activity hub of the town. Actively encourage major retail, office and community developments to concentrate in the Town Centre Retail Core, comprising the blocks bounded by Commercial Street, King Street, Victoria Street and Bridge Street. Encourage the consolidation of sites in the Town Centre Retail Core to accommodate new large floorspace developments. Promote development in the Town Centre that improves pedestrian connectivity and the layout and operation of car parking, and enhances the amenity of the streetscape. Strongly discourage the development of new retail uses outside of the Town Centre Retail Core where such uses may weaken the principal role of the Town Centre. Support the protection of the town’s heritage buildings and streetscapes in recognition of their central role in protecting the ‘rural township’ character and ‘sense of place’ of Korumburra. Support tourism developments that promote Korumburra as a tourist destination and plan for the provision of services and features that support highway tourism traffic. Ensure new development and road traffic improvements do not compromise the longer term potential return of rail services to Melbourne. Relevant actions Prepare an updated Town Centre Framework Plan to encourage major retail, office and community proposals to concentrate in the Town Centre Retail Core in accordance with the principles established in the Priority Development Panel (PDP) report May 2010. Investigate with VicRoads plans for traffic management, calming and pedestrian safety improvements along South Gippsland Highway and Radovick Street within the Town Centre in accordance with the PDP’s recommendation. The Town Centre Framework Plan contained in this clause specifically excludes land (including the existing IGA site) from the designated ‘Retail Core’, which was supported by Planning Panels Victoria. Draft Business 1 Zone (B1Z) The purpose of the Business 1 Zone is: To encourage the intensive development of business centres for retailing and other complementary commercial, entertainment and community uses. Both residential and commercial development is permissible with an emphasis on active frontages at ground floor. The B1Z applies to the majority of the study area and is the main zone applied in most retail/commercial areas across the State. It allows a wide range of commercial activities, which is considered appropriate for a town centre. 15

To provide for associated uses that are consistent with the intent of the public land reservation or purpose. The Public Use Zone has a number of categories which can be applied to land under this zone, indicating the different public uses with which the land is associated. Within the Korumburra Town Centre the Public Use Zone 4, which relates to ‘Transport’ is applied to the railway corridor. Other Public Use Zone Schedules applied in the study area include Schedule 3 for ‘Health and Community’, Schedule 6 for ‘Local Government’ land and Schedule 7 which applies to other public uses. Road Zone Category 1 (RDZ1) The purpose of the Road Zone Category 1 is: To identify significant existing roads. To identify land, which has been acquired for a significant proposed road. A road designated as a declared road under the Transport Act 1993 must be included in a Road Zone – Category 1. Other roads (or proposed roads where the land has been acquired) may be included as Category 1 or Category 2 roads if appropriate. propriate. Within the Korumburra Town Centre, the PUZ generally applies to the car parking areas on Little Commercial Street and to community uses such as the Library, Childcare and Seniors Citizens Centre. The South Gippsland Highway and Radovick Street are both included in the RDZ1. Thus VicRoads is the responsible authority for these roads. Draft Heritage Overlay (HO) The Heritage Overlay (HO) lists sites of local and State heritage significance (Victorian Heritage Register) and is used to protect sites that have heritage value, meaning that individual buildings or whole urban precincts may be covered. The presence of a Heritage Overlay does not mean that development cannot occur but that the impact on the heritage asset must be considered. The purpose of a HO is: To conserve and enhance heritage places of natural or cultural significance. To conserve and enhance those elements which contribute to the significance of heritage places. To ensure development does not adversely affect the significance of heritage places. To conserve specifically identified heritage places by allowing a use that would otherwise be prohibited if this will demonstrably assist with the conservation of the significance of the heritage place. There are no ‘precinct based’ HOs applied within the study area, however there are three individual sites within the study area which are affected by an individual HO: HO53: Korumburra Post & Telegraph Office (former). 24-26 Bridge Street, Korumburra HO63: Korumburra Comfort Station for Women (former), Radovick Street, Korumburra HO5: Part of Korumburra Railway Station Complex Station Street, Korumburra (local significance) HO18: Korumburra Railway Station complex Station Street, Korumburra (Victorian Heritage Register) The Korumburra Railway Station complex is recognised as having both local and State heritage significance. 16
