Previous Items Council on 2 February 2009 (NMOC. 2) Council on 1 June 2009 (FPOC. 1) SUMMARY To provide Councillors a cultural heritage assessment for Warringal Parklands and Banyule Flats (WPBF), and advise on further work, including the potential for a State heritage nomination. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter. CITY PLAN This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “enhance Banyule’s public and open spaces”. BACKGROUND In response to a Council resolution on 2 February 2009 (NMOC.2), heritage and environmental assessments are progressing for WPBF (the Project). At Council’s meeting on 1 June 2009, a report (FPOC.1) outlined a staged approach for the project. The report gave a priority for heritage assessments to be done as Stage 1 and environmental assessments as Stage 2. A specialist heritage consultant was appointed and cultural heritage work progressed through 2012 and 2013. Key stakeholders, including the Warringal Conservation Society, Heidelberg Historical Society, Friends of Banyule and elders form the Wurundjeri Tribe Land Cultural Heritage Council, were consulted throughout the assessment process. The findings of the assessment were then presented to the Banyule Environmental Advisory Committee (BEAC) on 12 February 2014. A summary of the draft heritage report’s findings, progress for Stage 2 and an update on the North-East road link are given in this report. The detailed cultural heritage report is shown in Attachment 1.

4.1

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues. STAGE 1: THE HERITAGE VALUES ASSESSMENT A summary of the key findings for the WPBF in the draft Cultural Heritage Assessment is given below: 

There is a multi-layered landscape with historic, aesthetic and social heritage significance at a Local and State level.



Historic and social significance is attributed at the State level, for its:  Remnant rural landscapes being of those that inspired the nationally acclaimed Heidelberg School of Painters.  Being a site of significant conservation struggles on a State and local level, including the 1950s Save the Yarra Campaign, the first of many community led movements to protect the Yarra River Corridor.  Association with development of the prestige estates and tenant farmers of Heidelberg in the early 19th century.



At a local level, the area has historic, social, archaeological and aesthetic significance for its:  Surviving evidence of the pastoral and tenant farm period.  Age range and variety of tree planting and park making.  Enduring connection and importance to the Woi wurrung people.  Potential to reveal artefacts or features associated with the sites early agricultural development.  River landscape, major open spaces and significant views, particularly the visual inter-relationship with the former Banyule Homestead.

The complexity and layering of State and Local significance means that effective land management is best achieved by future preparation of a Conservation Management Plan (CMP). STAGE 2: ECOLOGICAL AND CONSERVATION VALUES ASSESSMENT Expert ecological and environmental experts have been appointed to do this work. The assessment will be done in three parts over two years. These are: 1. 2.

3.

Desktop review of ecological and conservation values. Design and implement targeted field studies to obtain a full botanical and faunal inventory and investigate occurrence of rare flora and fauna within the study site. Ecological Assessment, advice on wetland importance, conservation significance and recommendations.

4.1

This timing will ensure appropriate seasonal data collection, to help uncover potential ecological and conservation values. After this work is done, the final scope of a CMP can be identified so future land management takes an integrated approach for the management of heritage, ecological and conservation values. NORTH EAST LINK There has been no further advice from VicRoads or the State Government since the North East Link Quarterly Report was given to Council in December 2013. The staging of the WPBF project is well within the projected timeframe for commencement of a NE link, as given in the State Government’s draft metropolitan planning strategy, Plan Melbourne. This strategy puts road building focus on the East-West link. Reference to the North East link says that: “As part of any future planning for the North East link, an above-ground freeway through the Banyule Flats and other environmentally-sensitive areas will be precluded and there will be careful consideration of other transport, environmental, heritage and social issues” (Plan Melbourne, p. 81). DISCUSSION Now that a heritage assessment has been completed further progress can be made on its recommendations. On the premise that State heritage significance is likely to exist, and ongoing work needs to be done to complete environmental assessments, the top priorities for further progress are: 1. 2.

Nominate the site to the Victorian Heritage Register. This includes preparation of a nomination form to Heritage Victoria. Progress the Ecological and Conservation Values Assessment.

Following this Council will receive a further report to recommend future steps. This may include:   

Preparing a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) that integrates recommendations and management considerations from both Stage 1 (heritage) and Stage 2 (environmental). Preparing a Planning Scheme Amendment, for the Heritage Overlay if there is timely progress or an outcome on the Heritage Victoria nomination work. Implementation of the ecology and conservation recommendations.

CONCLUSION Progress has been made in uncovering heritage significance at WPBF. This will inform the proposed preparation of a nomination to Heritage Victoria. A successful nomination to Heritage Victoria, along with the preparation of an integrated Conservation Management Plan, would provide guidance for effective site management and improvements. Progress will continue on the ecological and conservation values assessment, followed with a report to Council for future consideration.

The Minister acknowledged the Council position. A briefing was held with the Linking Melbourne Authority regarding the East West Link Project on 18 November 2013. Additionally, Council last considered a report on this matter on 16 December 2013. In this meeting Council were informed that:  In October 2009, The Victorian Government released the draft ‘Plan Melbourne’ with a 2050 vision for Melbourne iterating in terms of transport and more specifically the North East Road Link, Plan Melbourne lists as one of its shortterm and long-term initiatives. A finalised ‘Plan Melbourne’, having considered all submissions is still expected to be released at the end of March 2014.  Council has also provided a submission to the State Government’s draft metropolitan planning strategy, Plan Melbourne, giving effect to Council’s preferred alignment for a more direct route. No further correspondence has been received from VicRoads and the Department of Planning, Transport and Local Infrastructure (DPTLI). RECENT CORRESPONDENCE AND FEEDBACK There has been no further advice received from VicRoads and State Government since the North East Link Quarterly Report was given to Council on 16 December 2013. Council is currently preparing for a Community Transport Forum to be held on 8 April 2014. This event will be an information session with an opportunity to ask questions of a transport panel representing both Council and State Government agencies. There will also be opportunities for the community to be involved in providing input into a new Integrated Transport Plan for the municipality. The forum will provide an opportunity for the further feedback in relation to the North East Road Link. Banyule residents can currently find out information and register their interest regarding the upcoming forum via Banyule City Council’s website. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH THE NORTH EAST LINK  A draft cultural heritage assessment for Warringal Parklands and Banyule Flats (WPBF) has recently been completed where further progress can be made on its recommendations.

 An alternative transport proposal for Melbourne was recently released by The State Opposition entitled “Project 10,000”, designed to tackle the road safety and congestion concerns within the state and puts forward a list of projects to address this. At a Council meeting on 17th February 2014, Council expressed its concerns that much of "Project 10,000" will have a minimal impact on traffic congestion within the City of Banyule and also raised the issue of funding implications on other important state transport projects including: A. The Doncaster Rail Project; B. The Airport Rail Project; C. The North East Link Project - with direct connection from M80 to EastLink in Ringwood; D. Incremental improvements to the Hurstbridge Rail Line, including duplication of the line between Rosanna and Heidelberg and from Greensborough to Eltham; E. South Morang extension to Mernda and Whittlesea; and F. The connection of the South Morang line from Clifton Hill to Southern Cross Station. Council suggests that the State Opposition should provide a commitment, timeline and funding model for the delivery of these other projects as well as details of removing the Rosanna Railway crossing and how the nearby parklands and businesses of the Rosanna Shopping Centre will be protected. Council will be writing to the State Opposition Leader seeking an explanation of the Oppositions Policy named "Project 10,000" and expressing its concerns raised as outlined in the Notice of Motion during the Council meeting of 17 February 2014. CONCLUSION No further correspondence has been received from VicRoads and the Department of Planning, Transport and Local Infrastructure (DPTLI) since the last Council report of 16 December. However, a finalised Plan Melbourne, having considered all submissions is expected to be released at the end of March 2014. A report summarising the draft heritage report’s findings and progress for Stage 2 will be submitted to Council to review at its 17 March 2014 meeting. A Community Transport Forum is being held on Tuesday 8 April, where it is expected issues related to the North East Link will be raised. Council will be writing to the State Opposition Leader seeking an explanation of the Oppositions Policy named "Project 10,000" and expressing its concerns raised in Council meeting of 17 February 2014.

SUMMARY The proposal seeks to increase the height of an approved eight to nine storey medical services building by one level to provide a building with a maximum height of nine to ten storeys. The entire additional floor level of the building will project above the 25 metre height control for this part of the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre.

Building Previously Approved and Under Construction Planning permission was initially granted under delegation on 10th January 2013 for the construction of a medical services building with a maximum number of nine storeys. The approved parapet building height to Martin Street (excluding roof top plant and equipment) is 26.2 metres and to the rear of the building is 31.8 metres. The architecture of the building is contemporary and utilises a predominantly glazed finish on the upper level of the Martin Street facade of the structure with dark grey, light grey and silver glazing with silver, grey and white alucabond panels to provide detail at street level. The side elevations of the building are to be pre-cast concrete panels with geometric sections of these panels painted in dark and mid grey on the northern elevation with a central glazed light court in the southern elevation of the building. The rear eastern elevation of the building is to be treated in a similar fashion to the Martin Street façade of the building. The approved building is currently under construction.

It is proposed to construct an additional level on top of the approved building. The approved parapet building height to Martin Street (excluding roof top plant and equipment) would increase to 29.9 metres and to 36.2 metres at the rear of the building. The maximum height of the approved building will therefore be increased by up to 4.4 metres. The additional level will be designed and faced with materials to match those approved for the main structure. The additional level would provide further space to accommodate the existing thirty medical practitioners that have been approved for the building with no increase in the number of practitioners proposed. As no additional practitioners are proposed, no increase in car parking requirements is generated by the proposal. A copy of the advertised plans comprise Attachment 1 to this report. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The site has a history of planning permission being granted for multi-storey development. Planning Permit P434/05 was issued on 21 March 2006 for buildings and works for the purpose of constructing a multi-level (five storey) building to be utilised for medical consulting rooms and dwellings and a reduction in the standard parking requirement. This permit has not been acted on and lapsed on 21 March 2009. Planning Permit P78/08 was issued on 13 October 2008 for buildings and works for mixed use development (seven storeys plus two levels of basement car parking) comprising ten (10) medical suites, 19 apartments and reduction in the standard car parking requirement. This permit has not been acted on and lapsed on 13 October 2012. Planning permission under the current permit application was initially granted on 10th January 2013 for Buildings and works for a multi-storey building and basement car park, comprising a medical centre and reduction in on site car parking. It is noted that this height exceeded the preferred height for the Medical Services precinct of the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre. An amendment to increase the number of medical practitioners that may operate from the premises from nineteen to thirty was approved on 14 November 2013.

Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment

To the immediate south of the application site at No.8 Martin Street is a recently completed multi-storey building. A planning permit was granted at P376/2010 for a mixed use, multi-level development comprising a seven storey building with two basement car parking levels, consisting of eight medical centres and 29 apartments and reduction in the standard car parking requirements. Further south on the corner of Martin and Burgundy Streets, is a single storey medical consultants rooms with car park access via a service road which runs parallel with Burgundy Street. To the immediate east is a 3m wide unmade laneway running north from Burgundy Street giving access to a number of properties to the north of the application site. On the eastern side of this right of way is Warringal Hospital which has single, double and triple storey sections of building and faces Burgundy Street. To the west, on the opposite side of Martin Street, is a recently completed multi-deck car park for the nearby Austin Hospital. Residential dwellings converted to medical suites and other residential dwellings are located to the north of this car park. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notice of the proposal was placed in one edition of the Heidelberg Leader, abutting and opposite land owners/occupiers were notified by post and two site notices were displayed on the property, one at the front and one at the rear. Three objections were received on the grounds of:     

Overshadowing Noise Light spill Lack of car parking Overlooking and loss of privacy

A public consultation meeting was held between two of the objectors and the permit applicant which was also attended by officers, the Mayor and the Ward Councillor. REFERRAL COMMENTS No referral comments were required on the proposal in this instance. PLANNING CONTROLS The key planning controls considered in the assessment of this application are summarised in Table 1 below with further detail provided in Attachment 2.

The proposed additional level of the building is required to provide increased flexibility to the internal arrangement of the building to accommodate the particular spatial requirements of specialist medical practitioners. The proposal has broad strategic support at a State level by integrating health facilities with local and regional communities and at a more local level through the land use and economic objectives envisaged within the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre and the Heidelberg Precinct Structure Plan, however, the proposal must also meet the visual and built form outcomes envisaged for the precinct. The proposed additional floor level, as it presents to Martin Street, will be 6.3 metres above the preferred building height of 25 metres. At the rear of the site, due to the fall of the land away from Martin Street, the additional level will be 11.2 metres above the preferred building height. In considering the appropriateness of the heights sought above the Heidelberg Structure Plan, Council should consider the broad urban design objectives set out in the State Planning Policy Framework as well as the decision guidelines and the design objectives of the Design and Development Overlays (Schedule 5) which guide development outcomes in the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre: 

The additional height is appropriate having regard to the with the broad urban design principles set out in Clause 15.01-2 of the Banyule Planning Scheme which require consideration of urban design principles including context, landmarks, views and vistas. The scale of the surrounding context is an important consideration and it is felt that the additional level will sit comfortably in the context of nearby, large scale development such as the Austin Hospital. It is also noted that since the introduction of the Design and Development Overlays (Schedule 5), new developments such as the Austin car park, the Warringal Hospital and the abutting site have been commenced or completed and a reasonable transition is achieved with respect to the additional height now sought and this emerging context. The context for this site is different to that of other areas within the activity centre where it may not be appropriate to consider heights above those preferred in the structure plan.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 17 March 2014

Page 14


Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment



The additional level is considered appropriate with respect to the Design and Development Overlays (Schedule 5) decision guidelines. In particular, it is considered that the proposed scale respects surrounding development and also supports a preferred intensity of use. Furthermore, natural light opportunities for adjoining buildings are not impacted due to the nature of the commercial built form to the south and inclusion of a light well along the southern elevation.



Clause 2.0 of the Overlay sets out that if a proposal does not meet the standard in relation to height, it must be demonstrated that a proposal meets these design objectives. A high level of compliance against the design objectives of the Design and Development Overlays (Schedule 5) is considered to be achieved as the proposal:        

Provides a high quality, modern building that makes a positive contribution to this evolving medical precinct. Incorporates ecologically sustainable design elements. Is respectful of the preferred scale and character of the Heidelberg Activity Centre. Is not within the view shed area identified for view protection within the Heidelberg Structure Plan. Incorporates a combination of articulation, materials and colours to create visual interest. Provides passive surveillance to the streetscape and other public areas. Maintains sunlight and daylight access to adjoining private open spaces of dwellings in accordance with Clause 55 (ResCode). Locates windows to minimise the potential for overlooking in accordance with Clause 55.

It is also important to consider the purpose of the Special Use Zone of protecting the amenity of patients and residents within and around this precinct. In this regard, the proposed height increase will maintain the amenity of peripheral residential and other sensitive uses. This is achieved through overlooking of neighbouring residential land within 9 metres being constrained due to the height of the additional level, screen glazing to be provided and the design and configuration of the additional level in relation to adjoining residential land. A light court in the lower levels of the southern elevation of the building is continued up to the additional proposed level to maintain access to light and outlook and minimise additional overshadowing of dwellings to the south at 8 Martin Street CAR PARKING The number of medical practitioners associated with the use has been restricted under the existing planning permit to a maximum of 30 clinicians. As the proposed additional floor is to provide additional floor space without any increase in the number of practitioners, no additional car parking requirement is generated by the proposal.

10 MARTIN STREET, HEIDELBERG cont’d OBJECTORS’ CONCERNS

4.3

Overshadowing

Specific concern has been raised by the owners of the recently completed apartment development at 8 Martin Street that the proposal will overshadow the east facing balcony of this apartment. The proposed additional floor level will not result in any overshadowing above that already provided by the approved development as the proposed additional level would be above the roof canopy of the balcony of the dwelling. The balcony to this apartment has an eastern orientation which remains unobstructed by the proposal. •

Amenity impact

Concern has been raised regarding the potential extended operating hours of the building and potential noise, light spill and overlooking impact upon neighbouring property. The use of land for a medical centre does not require planning permission in this zone and there are subsequently no operating time restrictions on the use of the land. It is expected however that clinical operating hours will be consistent with standard office hours. The medical use itself, by its very nature, is unlikely to generate amenity impacts. Any overlooking would be from a height and distance well in excess of the standard applied to residential development. In terms of vehicle noise and movements associated with the use, these are expected to be within generally accepted timeframes, noting that the premises are not located within a residential zone. It should also be noted that people living adjacent to major activity centres and commercial areas cannot expect the same level of amenity as those living in the residential hinterland. Having said this, the original planning permit for the development contains noise, amenity, waste collection and construction management conditions so as to minimise the potential impact of the development upon neighbouring property. CONCLUSION For the reasons outlined above the proposal is considered acceptable and it is recommended that a Notice of Decision to Grant an Amended Permit be issued. No additional permit conditions are required on top of those contained in the current planning permit. RECOMMENDATION That Council having complied with Section 52, 58, 60, 61 and 62 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, resolves that a Notice of Decision to Grant an Amended Planning Permit be issued in respect of Application No. P674/2013 to enable the endorsement of amended plans generally in accordance with the advertised plans received by Council on 19 November 2013 for buildings and works to increase building height by one storey at 10 Martin Street, Heidelberg.

COUNCILLOR MOTIONS - STATUS UPDATE cont’d

Many of the Councillor generated motions relate to advocacy requesting to meet with our Local Members of Parliament or the relevant Minister to advocate on behalf of our Community. Some of these issues include road and transport matters and cost shifting from State and Federal Governments to Local Governments.

6.2

ADVOCACY

CURRENT SITUATION Councillors currently raise matters in the Chamber via motions or statements. There are 3 options for Councillors to raise a matter before the Council: 1. 2. 3.

Notice of Motion (Council report and forms part of the Agenda paper) General Business Urgent Business

A Council resolution is required for both Notices of Motions and Urgent Business items. Whilst General Business does not require a resolution of Council there may still be some action arising from this item and may be listed in this report. These items are generated by Councillors through the Council meeting process and often involve considerable investigation or deployment of resources the CEO will seek to prioritise the timeframe for a response to the NOM to ensure that they do not significantly impact on existing programmed workloads. CONCLUSION The latest status quarterly report is presented for noting. RECOMMENDATION That Council note the Councillor Motions Status Report.

BIRDWOOD AVENUE, MACLEOD - MACLEOD PRE-SCHOOL PARKING ISSUES

Author:

F2013/947

TAKE NOTICE that it is my intention to move: “That Council request an officer report seeking to provide two on-street staff car parking spaces for the Birdwood Pre-school staff adjacent to the facility.” Explanation Council has been contacted by staff at Birdwood Avenue Pre-School, Macleod, regarding the lack of suitable staff parking close to the facility. Staff are seeking the possible reinstatement of five staff parking spaces at the front of the pre-school, which were removed in 2013 to improve visitor parking in the area. The removal was in line with Council’s Activity Centre Car Parking Policy and with the high parking demand in the area from various stakeholders. At the time staff parking was made available in a nearby off street facility. Council at its meeting of 6th May 2013 considered a petition on the matter of reinstating five staff on-street parking spaces adjacent to the Macleod pre-school on Birdwood Avenue, Macleod. Council resolved for officers to meet with members of the pre-school and the Ward Councillor to seek resolution on the matter. Council officers met with members of the pre-school and Ward Councillor on 10th September 2013. Council Officers remained concerned about the provision of such on street staff parking provision. Concerns were raised in relation to the possible precedent this would set and lack of general alignment with the intent of Council’s Activity Centre Car Parking Policy in providing such spaces on street. Pre-school staff continue to have concern with the current parking arrangements. Staff have expressed safety concerns with the additional walk to the new car park area and have also raised concern with the delivery and collection of teaching equipment to the pre-school, as utilising the current short-term car park arrangements in close proximity to the pre-school is often unavailable due to the high demand for parking by train commuters and patrons to the nearby shops. Given the staff parking concerns, the high parking demand at the location and the community feedback through the petition process, I propose in this instance that Council consider a compromise solution to help address the ongoing concerns.

Notice of Motion

TAKE NOTICE that it is my intention to move: “That Council: 1.

Undertake a thorough investigation into the traffic challenges that are experienced on Bungay Street, Watsonia and connected streets in Watsonia in the mornings and afternoons of school days as a consequence of parents dropping-off and picking-up their children at Loyola College.

2.

Develop potential options for consideration by Council to better manage these traffic challenges. This could include consideration of the traffic engineering solutions employed around schools in other Councils.

3.

Consult with local residents and Loyola College in undertaking the investigation. The investigation should commence with a survey to local residents to gather their feedback on the nature and severity of the problem and on their suggestions for how this problem can be managed.

4.

Write to Loyola College seeking details of their proposed actions to assist in managing traffic and car parking associated with school drop off and pick and work with Loyola College so that the actions can be agreed and implemented."

Explanation The Ward Councillor recently attended a community consultation forum organised by Loyola College on their proposed new Performing Arts Centre. The most significant and consistent theme that emerged from the forum concerned the ongoing traffic challenges that are experienced on Bungay Street, Watsonia in the drop-off and pickup periods on school days. The ward Councillor made a commitment at the forum that he would table a Notice of Motion seeking Council to investigate this issue and to develop potential options for consideration by Council.

F2013/947

TAKE NOTICE that it is my intention to move: “That: 1.

Council develop options to refine and improve the operation of Banyule's Ward funding grants program by introducing greater consistency in its application with the other community grants programs administered by Council;

2.

Councillors be actively engaged in the development of these options;

3.

This process be undertaken as a matter of urgent priority given that deliberations concerning the 2014-15 budget are approaching and that Councillors will need to establish the level of funding to be directed to the Ward funding grants program as well as the other community grant programs administered by Council.�

Explanation Banyule City Council has a long and proud history of supporting our clubs and community organisations in delivering a range of services and benefits to our community. One of the key mechanisms by which Council provides this support is the through the Ward funding grants program. The Ward funding grants program is delivered in a clear, transparent and fully accountable process. The program is completely consistent with State Government legislation and guidelines concerning the operation and governance of Council finances. Nevertheless, Councillors believe that there may be an opportunity to refine and improve the operation of this program by introducing greater consistency in its application with the other community grants programs administered by Council. These changes could also help to address the concerns of some community members regarding the integrity of the program.

Notice of Motion

TAKE NOTICE that it is my intention to move: “That Council Investigate: 1.

The possible improvements to the existing ‘pick-up and drop-off’ parking area in Ailsa Grove, including possible changes to the existing parking restrictions in the street, with consultation of the School and the residents.

2.

The possible re-opening of Tate Street at Ailsa Grove, or other alternative for traffic to exit or turn-around at Ailsa Grove.”

Explanation I have been contacted by Ivanhoe Primary School in relation to traffic and parking concerns, particularly in Ailsa Grove at school starting and finishing times. The school population of the Ivanhoe Primary School has increased over the past few years and demands are also increasing. The demand will mean an existing temporary class room will be replaced with a two storey portable. It is also expected that an additional two storey portable will be needed before long. This increased school population has meant greater traffic around the school and increase demand for parking. The current traffic management and the parking arrangement have been in place for a number of years. This needs to be reviewed in consultation with the school staff and parents, as well as local residents.

YOUTH COUNCIL cont’d

The Youth Council will allow Councillors and Staff to better understand their interests and possible concerns of our young residents.

They may share their concerns about the subject matter or they express a particular point of view. The Youth Council would take the following format: 

The Youth Council will be chaired by the Mayor and Councillors can facilitate the meeting as Chair (acting Mayor) throughout the day.

Two students from each school act as Councillors (8 students at a time act as the Council) with 4 sessions in the day.

The Schools (students) to set the Agenda.

Agenda items to be discussed for approximately 30 minutes (mover will have 5 minutes everyone else 3 minutes with a summation of 2 minutes) Like Council there will be 14 minutes allocated for comments from the gallery (this would allow up to 7 students to make a 2 minute comment).

Each Council session lasting 45 minutes in total.

The day Agenda will be: 9.45am: 10am: 10.30am: 11.15am: 12noon: 12.45pm. 1.30pm. 2.15pm. 2.30pm.

Arrival Morning Tea and Introductions Session 1 Session 2 Lunch (Directors can give overview of their Departments during Lunch) Session 3 Session 4* Afternoon Tea Conclusion

*last session may be reduced depending on numbers participating. 

The day will commence with a briefing from the Mayor and CEO over morning tea with two sessions before lunch and 2 sessions after lunch. The day will conclude with an afternoon tea.

An appropriate sized room will need to be provided at the Centre Ivanhoe to host the teas and lunch. Council will have displays from each Department around the room outlining their roles and responsibilities. Councillors, CEO, Directors and Senior Management would be invited to interact with the students during the breaks.

Attachment 2: Planning controls

PLANNING CONTROLS

The site is zoned Special Use 3 – Residential and Medical Services Precinct. Within this zone, planning permission is required to construct a building and carry works on the land.

4.3

ZONE

The use of the land for a Medical centre requires planning permission under this zone. OVERLAYS The site is covered by Vegetation Protection Overlay – Schedule 5. Under this overlay, planning permission is required for removal of all vegetation 12 metres or more in height or with a trunk diameter more than 40cm measured 1.4 metres above the base of the tree.

The site is also covered by Design and Development Overlay – Schedule 5. This overlay applies to the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre. Under the schedule to this overlay, a number of design requirements are identified including at the Martin Street property boundary, a maximum building height of 10 metres with buildings to be set back an additional 1.5 metres for every 3 metres of building height above 10 metres with no additional building setback required over 16 metres. The maximum building height specified for the site is 25 metres. The Design and Development Overlay provisions provide the key policy criteria to assess how successfully the built form of the proposal meets the broad range of relevant design objectives for the precinct and are summarised as follows. Built Form The Overlay seeks to promote new development that provides a positive contribution to the built form and public realm by:  Respecting the preferred scale and character of the Heidelberg Activity Centre.  Protecting views from the public realm along and across the Burgundy Street valley.  Incorporating a combination of articulation, materials and colours to create visual interest.  Providing building setbacks that create a sense of openness within the streetscape environment and maintain the amenity of peripheral residential and other sensitive uses.  Encouraging development to provide passive surveillance to the streetscape and other public areas.  Maintaining sunlight and daylight access to adjoining private open spaces of dwellings in accordance with clause 55.  Locating living areas, windows and private open spaces to minimise the potential for overlooking in accordance with clause 55.  To promote design that enables environmentally sustainable development. Precinct Plans Under the Overlay, the subject site is located within Precinct 4 of the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre, which suggests an overall building height of 25 metres and identifies the following building setback standards: ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 17 MARCH 2014 Page 145

Attachment 2

No works are proposed that trigger a permit under this overlay.


Item: 4.3

Attachment 2: Planning controls

4.3

 At the property boundary, the building can be constructed up to a maximum height of 10 metres.  Buildings should be setback an additional 1.5 metres for every 3 metres of building height above 10 metres. No additional setback is required above a building height of 16 metres. Importantly, if a proposal does not meet a height or setback standard under the Overlay, it must be demonstrated how a proposal meets the necessary Built Form Design Objectives for the Overlay as outlined above.

Attachment 2

In terms of how the proposed design responds to the specific building height and setback standards suggested by Design and Development Overlay, the following considerations are relevant. Setbacks  The existing approved ground floor level is setback 700mm from Martin Street and the first floor level has a zero setback to Martin Street. This creates a zero lot line to Martin Street to a height of 8.19 metre (which comprises two floor levels and a 1 metre parapet).  Above this, the second floor level is setback 1.5m from Martin Street. This creates a 1.5 metre setback to a height of 11.7 metre (comprising three floor levels and a 1 metre parapet).  Above this, the remainder of the building, including the proposed additional level, is setback 3 metres from Martin Street. The existing and proposed building setbacks comply with all of these setback standards. Height  The ground level of the site falls away from Martin Street so that that height of the building is less to Martin Street than it is to the access lane located to the rear.  The overall height of the building as it presents to Martin Street will increase from seven to eight stories with a maximum building height above natural ground level increased from 26.2 metres to 29.5 metres, excluding rooftop plant and equipment of 1.8 metres in height.  The maximum height of the building to Martin Street, including roof top plant, will be 31.3 metres.  The maximum overall height of the building, when taken from the lowest point of the land (the rear of the site) to the highest point in the building (the rooftop plant and equipment) will increase from 34.62 metres to 38 metres. The maximum height of the approved building will therefore be increased by up to approximately 3.4 metres.  The height of the east (rear) elevation of the building (not including the height of the roof top plant screen) will be 36.2 metres. STATE PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK The State Planning Policies that are relevant to the proposal are as follows.

The following policy is relevant to the assessment of the proposal.

4.3

Municipal Strategic Statement Clause 21 of the Scheme contains Banyule’s Municipal Strategic Statement, which provides the policy framework that Clause 65.01 requires the Responsible Authority to consider when deciding on an application. The municipal profile describes the following contextual analysis that is relevant to the development now proposed:

Attachment 2

21.01-1 Banyule in context Banyule provides a significant number and range of jobs to the broader region, particularly in the industrial, retail and public sectors. Residents of Banyule also have easy access to the large number of jobs in the surrounding region and central Melbourne. The municipality and its surrounding region also include a significant number of Melbourne’s educational and health institutions. 21.02 Vision and Strategic Framework It is noted that Heidelberg is recognised as a Major / Specialist Activity Centre on the Strategic Framework Plan at Clause 21.02 of the MSS. 21.04 Land Use 21.04-2 Commercial  The City is well served by a hierarchy of Activity Centres that provide important retail, personal, professional and business services to the community and significant employment, and these centres need continued support. Objective 2 – Consolidation of commercial uses  Facilitate projects that will support business growth, employment and service delivery. 21.04-4 Community Facilities  The health and education sectors provide services and employment to the Banyule community and need to be appropriately supported. Availability of community facilities To provide a wide range of high-quality cultural, health, educational and institutional uses, responsive to the existing and likely future needs of the community. 21.06 Built Environment Key Issues  The provision of a safe, attractive and high quality built environment. 21.06-1 Objectives and Strategies Objective 1 – Safe, attractive and high quality built environment ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 17 MARCH 2014 Page 148


Item: 4.3

Attachment 2: Planning controls

 Encourage high standards of design for buildings, works, signage and landscaping Objective 3 – Sustainable design  Encourage energy and resource efficiency, sustainable transport, pollution reduction, waste management, and improved stormwater quality for building design and site layout, building, infrastructure and landscaping.

4.3

 Encourage high quality architecture and urban design.

 Encourage environmentally sustainable design principles in new buildings, works and refurbishments. 21.07 Transport and Infrastructure Key Issues

 Residents have a high dependency on private vehicles.  While some parts of the City have good access to public transport, others do not.  Cycling and walking are underestimated as viable modes of transport. 21.07-1 Objectives and Strategies Objective 1 – Accessibility  Encourage appropriate traffic management and provision of car parking.  Encourage new commercial businesses to locate in Banyule’s activity centres, particularly around transport nodes.  Encourage increased use of public transport, particularly to and from activity centres and major employment areas.  Encourage the provision of adequate and appropriately located car parking at transport interchanges, activity centres and in association with individual uses. Objective 3 – Environmental effects  Increase the use of public transport and reduced dependency on private vehicles.  Encourage intensive land uses, including medium-density residential development, community facilities and commercial activity, in areas of high accessibility by public transport.  Encourage land use and development which facilitates multi-purpose trips. 21.08 Local Places 21.08-2 Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centre Land use and Economic Development  Strengthen the wide range of health care, family support and other health related professional services by promoting/locating next to the Warringal and Austin/Mercy hospitals in the Medical Services Precinct and Heidelberg Railway Station Precinct. Built Form To provide new built form that makes a positive contribution to streetscapes and urban form. ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 17 MARCH 2014 Page 149

Attachment 2

 The logical and efficient provision, use and maintenance of urban infrastructure must be a central consideration when planning for development and redevelopment.


Item: 4.3

Attachment 2: Planning controls

Strategies

4.3

 Encourage development that provides an active frontage at the street level.  Promote environmentally sustainable design.  Establish high quality and distinctive built form outcomes. Identity To ensure that development provides a positive contribution to the preferred identity of Heidelberg. Strategies  Ensure new development provides active frontages at the street level.

Attachment 2

The above criteria reinforce the strategic importance of the subject site within an identified, evolving medical precinct. Whilst previously residential in character, the residential character has gradually given way to a semi commercial / medical character that includes contemporary styled buildings, converted dwellings and carparks. The intensification of this change is encouraged throughout Council’s MSS, and is facilitated via the re-zoning of the subject site from Residential 1 to Special Use Zone 3 (via Amendment C60 to the Banyule Planning Scheme). The proposal responds well to the above mentioned objectives and strategies by providing additional medical suites in a building that is:  Of a high architectural standard;  Responsive to its surrounding built form context;  Respectful of Council’s expectations for the medical precinct;  Designed to provide a high level of amenity for future tenants;  Able to make more efficient use of available infrastructure, including existing commercial and public transport facilities; and  Incorporates ecologically sustainable design elements including: • Window frames and glazing that achieve a minimum 5 star rating, including use of double glazing and low E glass where required; • Louvers and open areas on the rear (east) elevation of the car park to reduce reliance on mechanical ventilation; • Use of precast concrete panels on north and south elevations, providing good thermal mass; • Use of insulation throughout, including minimum R1.5 to walls and R3.5 to roof; • Air tight construction; • Energy efficient appliances and water saving fittings; • A centralised plant to minimise energy loadings; • Automated sensor lights to toilet and kitchen facilities. • A waste management regime that encourages recycling; and • A green travel plan to encourage staff and patients to use nearby public transport and bike paths.

LOCAL POLICIES Safer Design policy Clause 22.03 identifies the Policy Objectives as follows:  To minimise opportunities for crime, through well designed and well maintained buildings and spaces.  To improve community safety and quality of life.  To enhance community perceptions of safety and reduce fear.  To discourage graffiti and vandalism. The proposed development will provide for passive surveillance of the surrounding streets and laneways via windows and glazed entries. Low level lighting will provide for staff and patient safety, areas of concealment or entrapment are avoided in the design, the carpark entries are secure and all balconies are secure. CURRENT AMENDMENTS Amendment C73 proposes to introduce an Environmentally Efficient Design local planning policy as well as update sections of the MSS to reflect this new policy. This policy applies to all residential and commercial development in the City of Banyule. The amendment commenced exhibition on 28 February 2013 and finished on 29 April 2013. A Planning Panel considered the amendment in November 2013 and the panel report is expected to be issued shortly.

Transport Project 10,000

Notice of Motion

Craig Langdon

Resolution (CO2014/26) “That: 1. Council write to the State Opposition Leader seeking an explanation of the Oppositions Policy named "Project 10,000." 2. Council notes correspondence circulated by The Hon Jenny Mikakos MP where she states the Opposition alternative transport (Project 10,000) "will dramatically improve road safety and reduce congestion around the State" by undertaking the following: - Remove our 50 worst level crossings including seven in the Northern Suburbs (Bell Street, Coburg, Bell Street, Preston, Camp Road, Campbellfield, Glenroy Road, Glenroy, High Street, Reservoir, Moreland Road, Brunswick & Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna; - Build the Melbourne Metro Rail; - Double the City Loop and build 5 new train stations; - Streamline traffic on Hoddle Street; - Get 5,000 trucks a day off the West Gate Bridge; - Widen the Tullamarine Freeway to six lanes and; - Spend $2 Billion on our roads. 3. Council expresses its concern that much of "Project 10,000" will have minimal impact on traffic congestion within the City of Banyule and also raises the issue of funding implications on other important state transport projects, such as: A. The Doncaster Rail Project; B. The Airport Rail Project; C. The North East Link Project - with direct connection from M80 to EastLink in Ringwood; D. Incremental improvements to the Hurstbridge Rail Line, including duplication of the line between Rosanna and Heidelberg and from Greensborough to Eltham;

4. Council further notes that Ms Mikakos' letter does not mention the 24hour public transport on Friday and Saturday nights. 5. Council has further concerns that the individual projects within "Project 10,000 have not been considered against other projects and may not represent the best benefit for all of Melbourne. 6. The State Opposition as the alternative Government should provide a commitment, timeline and funding model for the delivery of these other projects as well as details of removing the Rosanna Railway crossing and how the nearby parklands and businesses of the Rosanna Shopping Centre will be protected.
