1.0 Introduction
1.1 Carlton is an inner urban area to the north of the
Melbourne CBD, nestled between Fitzroy and North Melbourne. The area has developed its own unique cultural significance resulting from its rich history of industrialisation and following post-industrial settlements. The target study area is a 17.1-hectare site. The site’s borders are encapsulated by ‘paths’ (Lynch, 1960), which are the roads surrounding the site; Swanston St to the west, Lytton St to the north, Lygon St to the east and Grattan St to the south. The site features tree-lined streets with a charming abundance of heritage buildings and homes, mixed with new residential developments. It is distinctly separated into residential and retail districts, with different forms of transport intersecting the site at multiple points (See Figure 11).
1.2 The decision to focus on this site was influenced by initial group interests in the topics of housing, retail and transportation.

1.0 INTRODUCING CARLTON 1.3
This Urban Design and Planning Report aims to consolidate issues in the study area in relation to housing and to introduce a proposal to improve the site. This implementation will be achieved by introducing a set of objectives aligning to a vision for the site and actions will be proposed for implementation.
1.4 The themes discussed in this report will focus mainly on ‘liveable’6 and ‘sustainable’7 housing design and planning. In addition; transport connections and access, local employment and heritage capabilities and constraints will be discussed relative to the vision statement.

2.1 SITE ANALYSIS ISSUES Access to suitable housing for a rapidly growing population presents a unique challenge for Australian cities and their town planners. Significantly, according to Levy, “Housing is probably the area in which physical planning decisions have their greatest social effects” (Levy, 2016).
OPPORTUNITIES According to Baum & Gleeson (2010), places like Carlton ‘can mitigate the inequality which is expressed in stratified income and living standards, ‘housing stress’1 and subsequent ‘social exclusion’2 of some groups in the Carlton community’. It can achieve better social outcomes by ‘implementing multiple levels of planning policy to support these different groups’ and by ‘structuring space and place to mitigate the harmful impacts of inequality and ‘socio-spatial disparities’3 which emerged in the site analysis. This will allow Carlton to respond to population growth and change.
WHY is this happening in Carlton?
Rapidly growing population and insufficient housing stock.
+ 45% = Lack of integral elderly communtiy, due to lack of planning policy for ageing-in-place.
?
Lack of state and Commonwealth planning policy for affordable housing.
50.7% of renters in ‘rental stress’ due to lack of local employment opportunities and high rental prices.

2.2 ‘HOUSING AFFORDABILITY’ & AFFORDABLE HOUSING’ 4
5
Housing is not affordable for a large portion of residents, impacting ‘liveability’6 and ‘sustainability’7; the planning scheme needs to work to ensure housing stock becomes more affordable to provide
inclusivity and diversity in Carlton. ISSUE Carlton presents distinctly stratified groups with contrasting income levels, and therefore housing availability is affected by the residents’ ranging socio-economic statuses According to the Carlton Community Plan, although some residents live above standard terms, ‘in contrast many people in Carlton are living with much poorer standards of income, education, employment, housing and socio-economic status’ (The City of Melbourne, 2010). The issue of housing affordability is closely linked with various social aspects within the Carlton community and will continue to affect the ability of the municipality to cater for the needs of its residents now and into the future. Housing stress in Carlton might present possible consequences of gentrification which will lead to the exclusion of lower-income community members. OPPORTUNITY Carlton has the opportunity to ensure that housing stays affordable to allow these integral existing members of the community to ‘remain active community participants’ (Beer, 2007). ‘Thus, planning takes on the vital role of facilitating this necessary change and building a resilient city’ (Freeman & Tranter, 2011).

2.3 PLANNING FOR AGEING IN PLACE Providing suitable housing,
transport and so-
cial infrastructure for a growing ageing-population presents a significant challenge for Carlton.
Planning can facilitate ageing-in-place to foster better social
outcomes.
ISSUE As Carlton’s population continues to age, the demand for the facilitation of ageing in place will undoubtedly grow.
The application at 482-492 D rummond St, is for the use and redevelopment of a Residential Aged Care Facility, car parking and bike facilities.
At present, the site lacks sufficient direction and provisions for adequate spaces and places for the elderly to socialise, live and learn (Displayed in Figure 12). A minimal amount of elderly persons were observed moving in or around the site. This lack of sufficient planning is exemplified by the number (or lack thereof) of active applications submitted to the Victorian Planning Register to service Carlton’s ageing population. Among a considerable amount of applications (Displayed in Fiure 13), only one of these active applications includes provisions for residential aged care facilities. This application is outside the sites borders. OPPORTUNITY Carlton is therefore faced with the important challenge to provide sufficient suitable housing and service options for its ageing community. This will give Carlton the opportunity to enable its ageing population to continue living within the municipality, contributing to the local identity and livelihood.

2.4 FUTURE PLANNING & HERITAGE OVERLAYS The feasibility of any future planning proposals is significantly inhibited by the decisions of past planners regarding extensive
heritage overlay
controls. The municipality is presented with the challenge to facilitate positive developments in Carlton, whilst maintaining its significant heritage character. ISSUE The ability of planners to integrate appropriate and effective strategies regarding affordable, liveable and sustainable housing in Carlton will continue to be restricted by planning overlays, policies and procedures carried out in the past. This ‘enduring physicality of the city’ presents unique opportunities and limitations as the municipality plans for future growth (Harris & Smith, 2011). Increasingly diverse housing stock will allow more people to reside in Carlton, however, the high expense of these properties will likely only be available to those belonging within the medium to high socio-economic bracket. This could subsequently exclude groups such as elderly residents, or cause them to experience ‘housing stress’ (Traill, 2017). OPPORTUNITY This gives Carlton the unique challenge and opportunity to prevent issues with ‘spatial justice’8, including spatial disparities and social exclusion as it is related to housing (Whitzman, 2017). Carlton must approach this regeneration with consideration of culturally significant ‘places’ to ensure local identity is upheld.

4.0 Objectives In this section, you will find the objectives of the structure plan, with a corresponding outline of the actions needed to help deliver the overall vision for Carlton.
“If communities support
ageing-in-place through appropriate infrastructure, older adults can be empowered to continue as active citizens and volunteers for many years,
enriching communities through their time and experience� Alley et al. 2008.
13
4.1 PRINCIPLES & OBJECTIVES $
1.Affordable housing to promote demographic diversity.
Providing affordable housing in the site will prevent the social exclusion of some groups from Carlton’s population. This will allow Carlton’s population to remain diverse in terms of age and physical abilities. The goal is to provide the networks and infrastructure for community involvement for senior residents, to create a stronger senior community and foster the wellbeing of ageing residents.
2.Community driven, inclusive development to provide good social outcomes. Involving members of the community in planning and development decisions and actions will ensure that changes made in Carlton act to serve the current members of the community, whilst also providing for future residents. Active participation in the planning process will allow older residents to feel like a valuable member of their community, fostering additional positive social outcomes.
This will allow Carlton to become resilient in the face of population growth and change.
4. Maintain the heritage character of the municipality. The transformation of Carlton should still consider the culturally-significant heritage character of the area to ensure that the character and charm is not lost.
3.Create employment opportunities to foster a more liveable and sociallysustainable locality. To further ensure that low-socio-economic persons can remain in Carlton and continue to contribute to the municipality, local employment opportunities are essential. Ultimately, development will increase the allocation of affordable housing, whilst also ensuring that there is access to jobs and volunteering opportunities within the municipality to support senior citizens to stay in Carlton.
5. Connected by sustainable transport options to improve connectivity. Good housing should be connected by great public- and active-transport infrastructure to discourage the use of the private motor-vehicle. These transport options need to be accessible to `disabled persons and senior citizens should be provided with additional support to use this network.
14
5.0 Actions This strategic plan will suggest one major design proposal, alongside policy implementations to support this development. Actions will align with the overall vision and objectives for the site. Actions will be implemented in one of two ways; Suitable actions will be implemented in the design program at 96 Grattan St, in line with achieving the overall vision. The remainder of actions will be implemented in the form of planning policy to ensure that the overall vision is achieved in terms of servicing the senior community in Carlton.
The design proposal will combine co-housing principles with innovative community-
operated-development initiatives to produce a unique, vibrant space which fosters
positive socio-spatial outcomes in Carlton.
15
5.1
DESIGN PROGRAM
The development at 96 Grattan St will act as a pilot project for future housing development in Carlton. Better housing will be achieved with communitydesigned-and-run facilities focused on principles of enhancing the quality of life for senior citizens. In turn, the creation of better housing will provide the infrastructure and essential services (Baum & Gleeson, 2010) to foster a better, more resilient, community. This will be reflected in the strength of the senior community in Carlton, as well as a stronger Carlton community overall, with these seniors acting to enrich their municipality. Figure 16; Site to be Redeveloped, (Apple Maps, 2017, Edit by Author).
16
5.1 DESIGN PROGRAM ‘Liveable Housing Design’ Provide practical advice for building homes that are suitable for people in all stages of life, to cater for changing circumstances and support ageing-in-place’ 7 (Moreland City Council, 2014). The design schedule will initially comprise wtwo residential developments, with provisions for flexible expansion opportunities at a later stage. The model will follow precedents set at Woodstock House in Balaclava and across Melbourne’s Nightingale Projects. It will also mimic some qualities of international co-sharing models. The facility’s target user audience are elderly residents who are being displaced by gentrification in Carlton. Therefore, design and development must follow liveable housing design principles. In the first development, council will work with locals, developers and investors to create a design and plan for the precinct. The land and property is owned and built with council funding, with operative power delegated to community groups. (Woodstock Street Community Housing, 2017). In the second development, private investors and property owners will have the opportunity to own the residential properties as assets, to provide the funding capacity for the project to go forward. This addresses the challenge of providing affordable housing stock, due to its high cost. This development will be supported by a council incentive to ensure 15% of residences built are affordable within or below market value for lowincome earners, specifically retired senior citizens. (Nightingale Housing, 2017). This development will also be designed with liveable housing design principles. The design program will also include a set of community-led share spaces, such as community gardens, BBQ areas with outdoor seating and walkways. Shared spaces will facilitate the coming together of the members of these housing developments and community groups to create a co-sharedesque environment and to strengthen the connections of the residents. This innovative program is more inclusive and therefore, more diverse than the co-share method, as co-share schemes often exclude low-income earners from the project due to expensive buy-ins.

(“Introduction to Cohousing and Ecovillages | Cohousing Australia”, 2017)
The principles of co-housing resonate with the community-building vision for Carlton, these include; - Individual, private homes - Community relationships and multi-use common facilities - Elements of self-management, trust and familiarity - Stronger sense of neighbourhood “The Stradgraven layout is a cohesive layout which engages not only the residents, but the local community as well”. (“LEGil Design » Archive » Danish Co-Housing”, 2017) This layout is being used as a possible example for design in Carlton.

6.0 Implementation The actions will be undertaken in short-, medium-, and long-temporal programs which will involve several levels of community engagement and participation and additional research to ensure the vision for Carlton is achieved. The implementation stage will aim to provide solutions to issues identified at site, the exact nature of these space and place issues will nevertheless be impacted by other external forces outside the scope of this report. Additional consideration into the impacts of these forces should be taken into consideration when analysing this report.

7.0 Summary
Carlton presents unique issues and opportunities in housing its growing population in a liveable and sustainable manner. The site presents with issues of affordability, supporting the ageing population, and making significant change among extensive heritage overlays. Thus, opportunities are presented to improve the liveability and social sustainability of these demographic groups to support a better community overall.
The vision for better housing to create a better community has been reached in the planning of an innovate housing development to act as a model for future housing development in Carlton. Key stakeholders have been considered to provide the best possible design and policy solution to aid the senior and ageing population to age in place and to foster a stronger community. It must be noted that the design program is in its infantile stages, and thus the overall success of this program cannot be confirmed yet. Implementation barriers, including community attitudes, financing, government controls and other unforeseen barriers may hinder the impact of the original program. It is essential that the program is developed and altered over time to suit the changing needs of its community, ensuring that the vision for the site is kept at the forefront of these changes.
