Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development Agency1.3 BackgroundCardno has been engaged by the ACT Government’s Land Development Agency (LDA) to provideengineering consultancy and construction supervision services for a mixed-use, urban developmentin Campbell. The proposed development is located within the National Capital Authority’s (NCA’s)planning jurisdiction and therefore requires NCA Works Approval.Cardno with its appointed sub-consultants Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects, Jane IrwinLandscape Architecture (JILA), The Expert Client (TEC), CB Richard Ellis (CBRE), LANDdata, andDouglas Partners have produced this Works Approval report and associated drawings.In 2011, the LDA consulted with the NCA to discuss the development of Campbell Section 5. TheNCA supported the general proposal to reconsider the land use boundaries for Campbell Section 5,with a view to reducing the impact of a multi-storey development on adjacent single storey housing.The NCA agreed to prepare an amendment to the National Capital Plan (NCP) reflecting thesechanges.The LDA prepared a number of Concept Options for the development of the site, based on thedesign principles of the NCP. Through community engagement, including a Project ReferenceGroup, a Preferred Concept Master Plan was developed. The Concept Master Plan was furtherdeveloped into a Draft Master Plan, which has informed the necessary changes to the NCP.The Draft Master Plan Report, prepared by Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects and Jane IrwinLandscape Architecture for the LDA, is available on the NCA website at www.nationalcapital.gov.au.In June 2012, a draft of this report and drawings was distributed to the LDA, NCA, TAMS and otherkey stakeholders for comment. The feedback attained from this consultation has been incorporatedinto the design where possible. Generally, the design does meet the stakeholder requirements,although areas that may be deemed deficient include the location of new street trees in the vergeand some tree species selection. The stakeholder comments and project team responses can befound in Section 10 of this report.Several road improvement projects adjacent to the Campbell Section 5 development are due to beundertaken and completed by the NCA, ACT Government and ASIO prior to the works outlined inthis report. It is expected that the proposed timing of the Campbell Section 5 works should avoid anysignificant construction co-ordination issues.Cardno has been advised of long-term proposals (>8 years) by the NCA and ACT Government forextensive changes to Constitution Avenue fronting the Campbell Section 5 development. It isintended that a planted WSUD median be introduced along Constitution Avenue together withalterations to the carriageway and southern verge.November 2012 Cardno 2

It is approximately 6.4 ha in size and is bounded byConstitution Avenue to the south, Anzac Park East to the west, and Page, Chowne and CreswellStreets to the north and east. Constitution Avenue and Anzac Parade are identified in the NCP asMain Avenues.

Parallel with Campbell Section 5 western boundaryare the Air Force, Rats of Tobruk and New Zealand memorials, and a space reserved for theAustralian Peacekeeping memorial. The site is separated from the Parade by three rows of matureblue gums lining Anzac Parade.1.5 Planning concepts and objectivesThe planning concepts defining the proposed development at Campbell Section 5 are: Vibrant and sustainable urban communitiesCanberra has evolved successful traditions of urban development that deserve recognition. The bestdevelopments have evolved over time into diverse and sustainable urban communities - mixing localshopping, convenient access to parks and public transport with a variety of housing choice withincomfortable walking range. Successful Canberra examples include Kingston and Manuka.Progressive urban design practice must be predicated on a clear methodology that producespositive urban projects rather than restrictive regulation. The combination of the following urbanelements is critical in providing a contemporary Australian society. Public TransportIn Canberra as in other cities, public transport can provide a legible and sustainable metropolitanframework, while being the catalyst around which local communities develop. Unlike the car, publictransport encourages a local pedestrian culture that supports retail and community uses and streetlife. Health research has focused on the benefits of walking and cycling as part of daily commuting incontrast to the disbenefits of driving.The Sustainable Transport Action Plan envisages that by 2031 Constitution Avenue will be servicedby a Rapid Line Bus/Light Rail Service and a Frequent Line Bus Service. If implemented, the site willbe well connected to a Regional and Local transport network.November 2012 Cardno 3
