PURPOSE OF PSP

To accommodate the future population growth... Melbourne is a fast-growing city which will have an increase of population reaching to 5 million by 2030 (State of Victoria, 2008). Preparing the future influx of newcomers, urban planning and design have been playing a significant role to maximize the city capacity with different types of activities for Melbourne residents. The new accommodation spaces require the further development in the inner suburbs to meet the necessity of living space, job opportunities, and transportation network. In the meantime, preserving the Melbournian lifestyle and character also lie in the heart in creating a liveable and recognizable city in Australia. The Yarraville Precinct Structure Plan will explore and propose a new urban planning and design framework in the inner Western Suburb - Yarraville in addressing the future needs from the residents. Yarraville has been gentrifying in recent decades which attracted lots of middle class and professionals to move in. It has the potential to become a new entry point of Western development since its short proximity to Melbourne CBD. The new transport intervention proposal will be the primary leading role in distributing the opportunities and expanding the development towards the Western suburbs.

YY HISTORY AND PRIDE

What to pride...... 1. There is a strong social bonding among communities. 2. People are welcoming to educate the newcomers. 3. Business traders are respecting the local culture.

From Glezos (2008)...... “The residential zone became framed within four main arterial roads, creating a sense that the village was hidden. Therefore, despite its close proximity to the city, its ambience is more like a small country town” Image Source: http://www.starweekly.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Yarravillepopuppark1.jpg

The proposed extension of Tram 82 will start at Moonee Pond and end at Sunshine West. It provides dayto-day public transport services for the residents living in western suburbs to better access to commercial services and connects to Melbourne CBD.

Melbourne CBD

Sunshine

In the past, there have been two tram lines starting from Footscray but closed in the 1960s due to the increase in car dependency (Lack, 1992). Therefore, the extension of Tram 82 aims to re-introduce the tram service to reduce car use and encourage residents to use public transport.

20-min Neighborhood

This theory constructs by the following principles where neighborhood should provide diverse services serving different social groups and design for pedestrian and transit; it should also provide access to public spaces and respect to the local history (Leccese & McCormick, 2000). Affordance is also important in dealing with the socio-economic issues as relating to the economic vitality and social stability (Leccese & McCormick, 2000).This notion has also appeared on many famous plannersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; works, such as Jane Jacobs and Jan Gehl, who has proposed the idea that city should build for human; street life, building interfaces, and architecture should interact with each other in constructing a human-scale living environment. They both believe that street and public spaces themselves can sustain lives which can provide diverse opportunities for public engagement. Therefore, having active streetscapes and a diverse neighborhood can turn a new page in developing a liveable environment in Yarraville.

The theory is drawn from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Plan Melbourne 2017-2050. The concept aims to provide the ability to live locally and meet the everyday needs by taking 20-min traveling time through walking, cycling and taking public transport from residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home (Plan Melbourne, 2017). It proposes an inclusive, self-sustain and healthy lifestyle among residents (Plan Melbourne, 2017). To produce a 20-min neighborhood, providing a variety of services and infrastructure such as schools, public spaces, with access to different transport modes within a walkable distance is the solution to reduce car dependency and create a vibrant living environment (Plan Melbourne, 2017). As a result, this theory lies in the center of the PSP in constructing an easy-access neighborhood.

THEORIES Low Carbon City

Biophilic Urban Design

This idea bases on the notion of sustainability which meets the current development needs without compromising the future generation’ needs (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1992). The idea is highly applied in a North European Country - Copenhagen which is the most practical example in the entire world. This theory aims to reduce the carbon emission and mitigate the impacts of global climate change (Jain, 2009). Copenhagen’s development follows the strategies on increasing the urban density while reduce the car dependency by improving the public transport and promoting cyclability and walkability in the city (Pineda & Vogel, 2014). Comprehensive cycling and walking paths enhanced the desire to reduce car use and better connected to different areas (Pineda & Vogel, 2014). Therefore, to ease the issue of high car dependency, having an integrated network connecting cycling, walking and public transport network is a must to create a low carbon city (Pineda & Vogel, 2014).

This new design paradigm is based on the theory of biophilia which explains the idea that humans are unconsciously attracted and attached by nature and various kind of lives (Wilson, 1993). It aims to reduce the impacts on the natural environment and fosters the benefits between humans and nature in the built environment (Kellert et al., 2007). As in many research, contacting with nature creates significant advantages to human, for instance, it enhances the sense of healing and recovery from illness; it provides spaces for exercising (Kellert et al., 2007). Both physical and mental health can be supported by only using the power of nature (Wilson, 1993). For example, use the daylight to replace the light bulbs and planting vegetation in an office to refresh the environment (Wilson, 1993). In moving towards sustainability, this “restorative environmental design” not only help to save the natural environment from degradation but also construct a more livable environment (Kellert et al., 2007).

Heritage District is located in the City of Sunnyvale in California, United State, which is the downtown of Sunnyvale. Undergoing the process of gentrification, Heritage District is a place where many mid-dle class and professionals moved in. The district has been redeveloping into a new mixuse precinct aimed to provide more housing and commercial activity for the newcomers (Sunnyvale General Plan, 2016). The area is currently dominated by low-density residential zone with lots of detached houses. There is also some new-built office and apartment buildings. The major commercial area situates at the center of the area which is near the train station. The building is steadily increasing towards the center, where those mixed-use and residential buildings accumulated. P.18

Heritage District is having a similar demographics with Yarraville. The dominated residents are mostly working as professionals, managers, and businessman which are the high-income occupations. Over a third of population have tertiary education qualification. There is over 50% are family household and 32% are with children. Therefore, the Cityline Sunnyvale Development Plan introduced by the Sunnyvale City Council proposes to create a more livable neighborhood by providing more housing for accommodation and diversifying the commercial activity in the area to serve the residents (Cityline Sunnyvale, 2017).

02 Self-sustained Neighborhood

03 Distinctive Character

South Historic Murphy Avenue is the most vibrant street in Heritage District. Buildings are only two-storeys high which generated a human-scale walking experience. The outdoor dining space and street furniture, such as seatings and lights, also provides â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the eye on streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the pedestrian to feel safe on the avenue. Tree cover also creates a pleasant walking and cycling environment in the area.

The mixed-use buildings in Heritage District are playing an important role in activating the community. Most of them are having ground level retails and stores and residential space on the above levels. Apartments are commonly found in these buildings.

While undergoing a lot of development processes, the Sunnyvale City Council also preserves the local character in creating a distinctive neighborhood. South Historic Murphy Avenue is the example. It is not only serving as an activity hub with lots of well-known bars and restaurants, but also a historical hub. Most of the building facades are maintained from the past with unique architectural design. The streetscape and street furniture also used the classic design to interact with the building facades.

When having some special festivals or events such as the farmer market during the weekends, the avenue will close for pedestrian only. Therefore, a vital streetscape can enhance the walk desire of residents and also attract different types of business to move in.

Edited by Author

Some neighborhood estates also introduced in the district. Most of them are creating a self-sustained community with various types of facilities such as swimming pools and public open space. Unlike the gated-community, the commercial shops are facing the street, which provides a chance for residents to engage with the public. A large public plaza next to the estate is also provided to serve the surrounding communities.

Revitalizing and rehabilitating the heritage buildings not only can preserve the local culture but also generate a new form of living experience in the neighborhood.

The predominant age group is between 25-27 with a median age at 36. Additional attention should be paid on this group as they will become the aging population in the following 2030 years. Most of the residents are born in Australia with the European background, especially with Anglo background. Since Melbourne is a multi-cultural city, this PSP aims to create a liveable environment with harmony with different cultures.

The statistic gathered from ABS (2017) between 2006 to 2015, demonstrates the increasing population in Yarraville. The projected population from 2017 to 2041 will increase by 40.9% including new-born baby and immigration. The population density is 2,775.7 (person/km2), whilst Richmond, as an eastern inner suburb approximately 6km from Melbourne CBD, had already reached 5030.8 (person/km2) in 2015. Therefore, the future development should increase infrastructure and housing and plan for accommodating those newcomers.

There is over 50% of residents relying on cars as their primary mode of travel, which leads Yarraville to become a high car-dependent suburb. Thus, the extension of tram 82 aims to reduce the car dependency and attract more people to use public transport. Yarraville has dominated with the middle class and high-income group. Nearly half of the population is working in high-pay jobs such as professionals and managers. The median household income is also higher than the Victorian average. Yarraville also has a high housing cost. Both of the median weekly rent and the median average monthly mortgage repayment is greater than Victorian average. However, it does not contribute to the issue of housing stress for current residents but does for the newcomers. Therefore, the PSP aims to provide more housing type to vary the price to serve for people with various needs.

The street network follows the grid design of the Melbourne CBD with four arterial roads connecting the surrounding suburbs. The street patterns are affected by the survey taken by a series of private developers who sliced up the area bounded by Somerville Road, Francis Street, Hyde Street and Williamstown Road (Smith, 1992). Narrow and short streets with sharp angles had been introduced to promote commercial activities (Smith, 1992). The addition of the railway also complicated the street pattern in the precinct (Smith, 1992). As mentioned above, the train line (blue line) in the precinct separated the neighborhood into two sides. The burden of connecting the communities falls in the only crossing on Anderson Street. Moreover, since Yarraville is a residential suburb, on-street parking is allowed. Those car parking areas further narrow down the street, particularly on Anderson Street (Figure 3). Anderson Street is a one-way road with only 4.25m width as shown in the section drawing. Both sides of the street are occupied by car parking (Figure 6). As a result, traffic congestion during peak hours often happens on Anderson Street.

The following maps show the traffic condition on weekdays during peak hours. Those arterial roads, like Williamstown Rd, Somerville Rd, and Whitehall St are often busy. It is because of the industrial areas next to Whitehall Street and the Yarraville Oil Terminal. Truck traffic also intensifies the congestion on those streets. There is often congestion at the entrance of Williamstown Rd leaving from the West Gate Freeway in the morning (Figure 5). Compared with other roads within the precinct, Anderson Street is the most active and busy street in the precinct, which is difficult to navigate during the peak hours. Therefore, regulations of street is required to ensure the fluent traffic flow within the precinct.

First, in terms of the waiting time, most of the buses have a 15-20 minute wait, sometimes greater than 30 minutes (Graph 1). As summarized in Graph 1, bus services have the longest waiting time in Yarraville compared with other types of public transport. It may lead to the fact that people are not taking buses in the precinct.

The following maps are the public transport catchment in the precinct. They show that the bus services have covered the entire precinct, as well as the train services. However, according to Profile id (2011), there is only 22.4% of the residents choosing public transport as the main mode of travel, compared with 36.2% in Footscray. And, it is only 0.7% bus users included in the 22.4%. The primary population using public transport to work accumulated at the center of the precinct, which is near the Yarraville train station (Profile id, 2011).

As discussed, the current public transport system fails in providing an efficient service for residents, while the extension of tram 82 will help to ease the issue. It may pass through several key stops (the white spots) such as the Yarraville Station and the Coles Supermarket on Williamstown Road. It is an opportunity to propose a stable and frequent tram services throughout the precinct in sustaining the residents daily life.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the planning of public transport the catchment areas of stops are often included to estimate the potential number of travellers (Andersen & Landex, 2008; p.175).â&#x20AC;?

YY MOVEMENT & ACCESS

Truck and Walkability Analysis Trucks traffic in Yarraville is a critical issue. The highlighted roads are congested and polluted due to the high volume of trucks transporting freight at all times of the day. Air pollution is prevalent near the industrial site, due to the heavy emissions from cars and trucks within our precinct. It has lead to 20% of the children suffering from asthma in Yarraville, which is double the national average (The Age, 2015).

According to the data from VicRoads (2017), the 24/7 truck ban on arterial roads Francis St and Somerville road is predicted to redirect all truck traffic to Hyde St, which already sees 6000 trucks a day. This number is predicted to jump another 1,600 due to the arterial road truck ban. West Gate Tunnel project will create a reduction in truck volumes on those arterial and sub-arterial roads. Moreover, the extension of 24/7 on Hyde St can also help to reduce the truck impacts on residents.

The noise and smell in the industrial areas of Yarraville have generated an unpleasant environment for pedestrians. Yarraville is dominated by cars and the wide roads, lead to limited and poorly designed pedestrian spaces. Along with narrow footpaths, this makes it difficult for pedestrians to cross the road. As there is no safety infrastructure between the roads and footpaths, it is very dangerous for pedestrians (Figure 7). Moreover, people plant trees to enhance their privacy and separate the traffic noise. However, trees and plants from residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes extend onto the footpaths, which makes the footpaths narrower and harder for pedestrians to walk around the neighborhood (Figure 9).

Cyclability Analysis

The idea of formal and informal bike lanes is drawn from the Maribyrnong City Council. Whilst formal lanes mean that there are designed biking paths for cyclists, the informal bike routes mean that there are no designed paths but cyclists still cycle on the street (Maribyrnong City Council, 2017). The data of cycling blackspots is gathered by cyclists who frequently use the bike paths. Most cyclists commented that the bike paths are not well-maintained (The Greens, 2017). The lack of maintenance of bike lanes has attributed to the safety issue. As a result, there were not many residents using the existing cycling infrastructure on site.

Through the observations, it was evident that the only designated bike lane was at the periphery of the precinct, which is along Somerville Rd and Hyde St. The rest were shared lanes with vehicles. Safety is a critical issue on the site as there have been many reported incidents of cyclist deaths, especially to the Northeast of the precinct where there is heavy truck traffic (Herald Sun, 2017).

YY DEVELOPMENT

Land Use Analysis The precinct is dominated by residential housing, with an industrial area right next to the residential zone. Most of the commercial activities are centralized at the Yarraville Village. There is a limited distribution of mixed land use.

Moreover, the noise and smell from the industries generated a displeasing the living environment, which leads to the reduction of housing price along with the side of Hyde street facing the industrial precinct (The Age, 2017). Therefore, it is a chance to redevelop the industrial zone into multi-functional use as a buffer zone separating residents and factories.

The industrial zone in the precinct serves as a primary economic hub where the Sugar Australia and CSR and Yarraville Oil Terminal located and close to the Port Melbourne (Maribyrnong Planning Scheme, 2017). However, since the economic shift, the industries in that area is fading out and most of the land turns to empty lands as shown in Figure 12.

The facilities are not distributed evenly in the precinct as most of them located on the eastern side such as aging-care and medical facilities. There are four schools including one child-care and kindergarten, two primary schools and a specialist school; whilst there is no secondary education service in the entire Yarraville suburb. The family household with children in the precinct is 47.2%. Residents are complaining that there should be a secondary school in the area (Herald Sun, 2017). Therefore, preparing for the future growing population, additional attention should be paid on distributing of services and facilities with better access.

Housing should meet the needs of all residents. The housing market in Yarraville dominates with one-storey single detached houses (Figure 14). Looking at the population density level, Yarraville is a low-density suburb, compared with other areas in the City of Maribyrnong as shown in Graph 4. As Yarravilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population continues to grow, there will be more families and individuals that will be living in the suburb. Therefore, the dwelling size and housing density should respond to those changes as well. The recent phenomenon is that there is a new development trend of apartment buildings in the residential zone (Figure 15 & 16). Being an inner suburb in preparing the population incline, Yarraville has the potential to increase the density for the newcomers to move in.

As suggested by the process of gentrification that the demand for houses in Yarraville has risen as more professionals and young families are moving into the area, hence causing an increase in housing prices (Young, 2002). The high housing costs have pushed out prospective and current Yarraville residents with lower incomes who also want to live in the area due to its proximity to Melbourne CBD and amenities nearby. The median housing price in Yarraville is $900,500 while Greater Melbourne is $500,000 (Profile id, 2016). The map is showing the snapshot of 3 bedrooms houses which is higher than the Yarraville median price. According to the SGSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rental Affordability Index (2015), a score of 94 indicates that it is unaffordable and households would be paying more than 30% of their income on rent and are at risk of experiencing housing stress. The average rental household with an income below AUD$90,000 paying rent for a three bedroom dwelling would find it difficult to meet daily costs and other expenditure such as health care and outings etc.

YY SUSTAINABILITY

Green Open Space Analysis Green open spaces are not actively used in the precinct which is observed during the site visit. Physically, the quality of those spaces is low. In figure 18, the football and basketball court near the train station is underused. The fences fail to define the boundary of car park and the playground. Child can easily go across the barriers, which is a critical safety issue. It may reflect that why no one is using the spaces as parents may think it is unsafe to let their children play in. Moreover, the tree canopy is scattered, which means that it is missing the shading for people who are using the space for recreation (Figure 19). Street furniture is also missing in those green spaces (Figure 20). Therefore, upgrading the green spaces is necessary to provide a more liveable environment for the residents.

The sense of sustainability is observed during the site visit. Residents have installed the solar panel on their rooftop (Figure 22). The hydronic heating shop also discovered in the precinct (Figure 23). Various type of recycling bins also found near the station and on streets, such as clothes and shoes recycling (Figure 21). This evidence reflects that the acceptance of moving towards sustainability is spreading around the community. Therefore, it is a chance to promote more ideas in enhancing more efficient and environmentally friendly strategies.

Character Analysis

Yarraville Village contains a distinctive character that is comprised mostly of street art and furniture, that compliments the distinctive building heritage of the area. Murals dominate the area around the intersection of Anderson St and Ballarat St, notable examples include the Artwork on the rear of the Sun Theatre and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yarravilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mural near Schild St.

The Victorian-Edwardian heritage features of Yarraville, in the town center especially, are extremely important assets to those who live, work and trade in the commercial center. It creates a distinctiveness that new large-scale developments cannot compete with, and create a distinctive character and identity which the community clings to (Lack, 1992).

Therefore, when developing the precinct, it is also important to preserve the local character. Legend

CULTURE & HERITAGE

Culture Analysis Somervil

Yarravilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town center is a rich hub of heritage buildings, important to the history of the area. Perhaps the most well known is the Sun Theatre, an Art Deco style building, that serves as a legacy of a form of social entertainment that peaked in the 1930s and 40s (Victorian Heritage Database [VHD], 1999). The theatre is protected as heritage under the Victorian Heritage Register and the Maribyrnong City Council.

There is an overwhelming Anglo-centric and colonial heritage focus around Anderson Street and Industrial areas; whist the aboriginal history is overlooked in the precinct. The majority of heritage sites, such as the preserved railway gates and the former State Bank the building, recognized by either council or state heritage bodies are based on Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colonial history.

The plan proposes to create more mixed land use along Hyde Street and the tram route. Under the Hyde Street Redevelopment Project, there will introduce office and commercial mix for the existing industries in the precinct as the industrial area is serving as a primary economic hub in Greater Melbourne (Maribyrnong Planning Scheme, 2017). Those mixed-use land will generate a better buffer zone in separating the industrial and residential zone.

Being a new entrance point to Western Suburbs, the precinct will prepare to accommodate the increasing population. The new RGZ and GRZ zone allow having higher residential buildings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sustainable Construction is the adoption of materials and products in buildings and construction that will require less use of natural resources and increase the re-usability of such materials and products for the same or similar purpose, thereby reducing waste as well. Sustainable construction also enhances the resilience of the industry as such materials are readily available in the world market. Steel, other metals, glass and prefabricated parts using combinations of these, as well as recyclable substitutes for concrete are examples of sustainable materials and products.â&#x20AC;?

FINAL WORDS

For the current and future residents... “Your Yarraville” has demonstrated the potential developments which can transform the quality of life of both current and future residents in Yarraville. This distinctive and historically vital precinct will not only turn a new page of the living experience but also move towards sustainability. In bringing the knowledge together from the theories and precedent, this PSP will achieve a livable, affordable and sustainable community with diverse housing types and well accessibility and connectivity to the services and facilities through the extension of Tram 82. Public spaces will upgrade to provide more opportunities for communities engaged in celebrating its aboriginal history, distinctive culture and character, and strong social bonding. It not only generates a sense of the sustainable mode of travel but also fosters the change in lifestyle. All actions and regulations will follow the three timeframes including negotiating between different stakeholders and implementations. “Your Yarraville” will prepare for the future population influx and turn to be the next entrance gate connecting the western suburbs to Melbourne CBD.
