Katoomba Charrette Report & Town Centre Strategy Access into undeveloped lands within the centre of this street block should be shared among such developments, wherever physically feasible, to minimise unnecessary multiple driveways and to increase the permeability of this street block to encourage walkability, especially north-south across it to and from the Town Centre. 11.2.3 Proposed Charrette Design Bible College Increased Use The relatively under-utilised Bible College is proposed to be converted to an accommodation for the elderly, or perhaps a backpacker accommodation. Whatever the new use, it should increase the diversity of accommodation and vitality of the Town Centre. Service Station The existing service station is proposed to be re-used, at least temporarily, as a business incubator operation, or some other ‘holding use’ until real estate values rise to the point of justifying a much higher and mixed use development for this site, again in compliance with the above Project Design Brief. Cascade Street Medium-Density Medium-density residential is proposed for the several empty or under-utilised lots on Cascade Street. These smaller dwellings are perhaps two storeys, some are dual-occupancies, and they should all be compatible with their neighbours and surrounding context in terms of privacy and architecture. Intra-Block Medium-Density Infill Development/s Two types of development are shown for the undeveloped mid-block lands. The more intensive options involve consolidation, using the existing private driveway serving the new strip of business premises off Katoomba Street is extended to serve a number of small dwellings at the rear of the properties fronting Waratah and Edwards Street. This scheme would need cooperation from the various affected owners, either through a joint venture or by purchasing and assembling the land and creating a new street. The alternate approach development/s is based on adding new access driveways beside existing buildings on Edwards Street to enable medium-density development in rear yards. This development does not require assembly of adjoining properties, and could be done incrementally, as various owners choose to develop their rear properties. One Way of Perhaps Many to Develop in Compliance with the Project Design Brief This design indicates only two of perhaps many ways to comply with the Project Design Brief, and hopefully to affect win/wins both for the existing owners and for the Town Centre. 120
Katoomba Charrette Report & Town Centre Strategy Charrette design for potential redevelopment of the south of Waratah Street Action 11.2 - Facilitate regulatory changes and negotiations among owners that encourage development in this street block in compliance with its Project Design Brief. PART III – WHAT’S HAPPENDED SINCE THE CHARRETTE, AND WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT 12. PROGRESS SINCE THE CHARRETTE The Katoomba Town Centre Charrette was conducted at the end of October 1998. During the time that was required between the completion of the Charrette and the presentation of this Report to Council, a number of activities have been taking place that will impact on ongoing implementation. These activities included the announcement of a significant funding package from the NSW State Government in January 1999 based on an interim document (Katoomba Town centre Future Directions Document). 12.1 Katoomba Town Centre Future Directions Document Council has endorsed the broad principles that were developed during the Charrette. This broad strategy was called the Katoomba Future directions Document and was placed on public exhibition for comment in November and December 1998. This allowed additional comments from the community to be considered in the preparation of this final strategy. The Katoomba Future Directions Document will be superceded by this report. 121
