Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development AgencyAGENCY NO COMMENTS PROPONENT’SRESPONSEParade and its environs, ie.strong and classically-heavybuilt masonry-type forms withrestrained to sombre colours inorder to interact with the Paradewith reverence. In other words,a “timeless” solution for a sitethat adjoins Australia’s mostsymbolically and visuallyimportant vista, not currentarchitectural fashion (light,colourful, etc.) which will datequickly.DATERECEIVEDSymmetryAnzac Parade has a militaryprecision, which is evident inmany things, such as thebalance of the existing east andwest portal buildings (Sections3 & 4, Parkes.) It would bedesirable to investigate anypotential for Block 2 Section 33,Reid (the Rectory associatedwith St John’s Church) toprovide a limited, but visuallysimilar development on the Reidcorner of the intersection.Noted generally this hasbeen the strategyadopted.Topographical Effect onBuilding HeightAs the land rises from approx.RL 566.0 at the ConstitutionAvenue frontage, up to RL569.0at Road 2A, the two buildingsfronting Road 2A (on blocks Band C) may be 4m taller thanthe one fronting ConstitutionAvenue. This is demonstrated inthe street elevation of theproposed built form from AnzacParade East, where thebuildings increase in heightalong Anzac Parade Eastbefore reducing down again. Itis questioned whether the resultof this topographical effect onthe Anzac Parade frontage hasbeen fully considered.Building heights arecovered in Amendment74 to the NationalCapital PlanNovember 2012 Cardno 104
Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development Agency11 The National Capital PlanThe object of the National Capital Plan (the Plan) which is prepared and administered by theNational Capital Authority (NCA) is 'to ensure that Canberra and the territory are planned anddeveloped in accordance with their national significance'. The NCA is charged ‘to keep the Planunder constant review and to propose amendments to it where necessary’.The Plan, sets out the broad planning framework for all of the Australian Capital Territory, andprovides detailed planning policies and guidelines for areas designated as having the specialcharacteristics of the national capital. Such areas are identified in the Plan and are referred to as‘designated areas’. Campbell Section 5 is a ‘designated area’.Any buildings or structures, demolition, landscaping or excavations works in ‘designated areas’require the prior written approval of the NCA. The NCA’s consideration of any application is basedon the relevant provisions of the National Capital Plan.Amendment 74 Campbell Section 5 adjusted the land use boundaries within Section 5, andprescribed detailed conditions of planning, design and development on the subject land whichoutlined requirements for public space, building form, site access and set-back, building height,building facades, materials and landscape.Earlier sections in this Works Approval identified proposed works on Campbell Section 5. Theproposed works have been designed in accordance with the Plan.It is noted from the consultation process undertaken by the NCA, regarding Amendment 74,comments have been received regarding:Building set back and height associated with the adjacent New Zealand Memorial;Building facade is sympathetic to both National and Commonwealth Heritage;Building form is sympathetic to East Portal Building, New Zealand Memorial and theParliament House vista;Landscape along the south western side of the site.A response to the comments is to be provided by the NCA and LDA and any design changes are tobe incorporated in the final Works Approval submission.November 2012 Cardno 105
