Commuter Car Park Mt DruittVisual Impact Assessment ReportFigure 4-1-iii – North Parade - looking northacross the site to Centrelink.Figure 4-1-iv – North Parade - looking eastto Mt Druitt Court House4.2. Existing Planning ControlsThe Proposal has considered the objectives of relevant environmental planning instruments.Blacktown City Council‟s Local Environment Plan (LEP) zones the proposed area for the car parkas 3(a) General business Zone with a key objective being to encourage development andexpansion of business activities within the major centres of Blacktown, including the provision ofparking. The LEP nominates that a car park would typically be development requiring consent.However, the State Environment Planning Policy (Infrastructure) overrides this requirement.The Blacktown Development Control Plan 2006 (Blacktown DCP) identifies design principles forthe Blacktown LGA including building height, setback and streetscape design. Mt Druitt is asubregional centre within Blacktown LGA with no specific design restrictions under the BlacktownDCP. Council assesses development applications within Mount Druitt on a merit based systemthat takes into consideration the intended use of the proposed development and its consistencywith surrounding land uses, shadow effects and visual impacts.R-VisualImpactAssessment-23Nov10 Final.docStatus:- FINALPage 22 of 42
Commuter Car Park Mt DruittVisual Impact Assessment ReportThe car park has been designed with regard to surrounding land uses, shadow effects and visualimpacts.4.3. SafetyThe Proposal has adopted the safety of commuters and the surrounding community as aimportant design principle. A designated public pedestrian route between the car park and MtDruitt Station is located along the existing council pedestrian footpath located on the northernside of North Parade.The Proposal is designed to provide a single clear and legible pedestrian entry point with goodvisual accessibility to the communication stair, lobby areas and the glazed pedestrian lift. Thetransparency of the facade design will allow good passive surveillance of the ground and firstlevel car parking when viewed from Mount Street and North Parade. The openness of theproposed facades will provide a high perception of safety when viewed from within the car parkwith good visual access to the surrounding streets. Landscape design proposes clear,unobstructed views of the car parking from Mount Street and North Parade. Small ground coverspecies are proposed to avoid the opportunity for potential offenders to use landscape forconcealment.The „communication‟ stair is designed with 50% wider treads than nominated under the BCArequirement for a fire stair to facilitate Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principlesfor visibility.The pedestrian entry is located west of the single vehicle entry exit to avoid potential pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.The subject site will be fully secured, by a 2.1m black palisade fence located on the boundaryalong Mount Street and North Parade. The northern boundary will be secured by the existing fulllength block wall facade of the Centerlink building. The western boundary will be secured by theupgrade to the fence to the neighbouring Mt Druitt Court House.Security and public safety will also be enhanced through the provision of CCTV cameras which willbe strategically located at vehicular and pedestrian entrances and exits, fire stairs, lift lobbies andthroughout each level of vehicle parking with coverage of each parking space and all pedestriancirculation.4.4. Pedestrian AccessA single pedestrian entry point is provided towards the western end of the North Parade elevationand provides a means of pedestrian access and egress to the car park and avoids pedestrian /vehicle conflicts. The entry lobby provides access to ground level car parking, the „communicationstair‟ and lift. A clearly defined DDA compliant pedestrian path within the car park connects thededicated DDA car spaces to the entry lobby. A designated pedestrian route between the car parkand the Mt Druitt Rail Station is proposed along the existing council footpath on the northern sideof North Parade. The Proposal includes the upgrade of the pedestrian footpaths adjacent to thecar park as well as clear way finding signage. Pedestrian fire egress is located on Mount Street inthe north-east corner of the site.In accordance with Railcorp Services Requirements, 7 DDA compliant car spaces are proposedwithin the multistorey car park and a further 7 DDA compliant car spaces are to be located inclose proximately of the Mt Druitt Rail Station.
