Objective 4 Discussion 24 In-site’s Liveable Communities2050 Planning Scheme maintains that for a community to be deemed as highly liveable, there must be a significant consideration for the safety of the members within the community. Subsequently, the planning scheme aims to achieve it’s vision by planning and implementing new mixed use developments within the area of investigation which will allow for more active street frontages. Therefore increasing passive surveillance and the ‘eyes on the street’ whilst also renewing areas such as vacant lots which spark unsociable behaviours like crime. Hence, the Liveable Communities2050 Planning Scheme will facilitate the delivery of the following actions and implementations: Act 4.1: Identify and isolate areas of vacant land and poorly lit zones to prevent unsocial behaviours. Act 4.2: Subdivide current residential buildings and renew them with more land uses to foster mixed use. Act 4.3: Facilitate the implementation of new land use developments in the most advantageous areas within the are of investigation However, it is important to consider the benefits for local Stakeholders: Local Residents: More homes, greater social safety, more social interaction, more affordable homes, more land use exposure, closer jobs, closer services, less unsocial behaviours, less anxiety. Local Businesses: Later commercial zone hours, more employment, more business exposure, less commuter hours, higher land values, greater competition. Local Government: Combats population rise, more tourism, less crime rates, less security measures.
Site Context & Observations Site research established that Carlton, the suburb in which the area of investigation is situated, has had a significant increase in crime rates since 2011, where theft, burglary and property damage had increased by 70%, 84% and 67% respectively (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2016). Furthermore, site observations identified that there is an abundance of poorly lit vacant lots and car parks which are sited within the area that could potentially spark unsociable behaviours such as crime. However, these site conditions offer an opportunity for the development of mixed use buildings that can improve the safety of the area by increasing passive surveillance and the amount of ‘eyes on the street’. Additionally, site observations noticed that the area of investigation has some mixed use developments already (Map 11), the concept in which this planning scheme wishes to replicate in other appropriate areas to ensure the safety of the entire community. 25 C Map 11: Current Mixed Use Site Map D Lincoln Square North Berkeley Street Pelham Street Barry Street Leicester Street Bouverie Street Swanston Street Pelham Street A Lincoln Square South B A Image 22: 109 Leicester Street Image 23: 609 Swanston Street Image 24: 743 Swanston Street D Image 25: 672-74 Swanston Street A B C D
