PART ONE Introduction
PURPOSE OF PLAN The purpose of this Heidelberg West Green City Precinct Structure Plan is to provide a holistic framework to guide the urban development of the 103 hectares area over the next 23 years – 2017 to 2040. It will outline the vision, objectives and strategic directions for land use and development, access and movement and public spaces, aiming to facilitate growth and liveability in Heidelberg West.

STRATEGIC CONTEXT Heidelberg West has been identified as the potential precinct for urban development due to its low socio-economic profile, inadequate public transport network, and high car dependency. The study area sits within the City of Banyule, 2 kilometres away from its nearest train station, Heidelberg Railway Station. It is bordered by the eastern border of Darebin Creek, Bell Street, Waterdale Road and Outhwaite Road. As identified in Plan Melbourne 2017-2050, the precinct is situated within the ‘La Trobe National Employment and Innovation Cluster,’ the focused area will provide more job opportunities and propel towards a thriving economy that will help contribute to the Victorian economy. This will be supported by establishing new mixed-use development along a newly defined major road (Oriel Road), higher density development, provision of sustainable and affordable housing, and providing an integrated public transport network (e.g., creating a new tram line from Heidelberg Station and Preston) connecting residents and visitors to key activity nodes within the precinct.

At present, there are approximately 5704 residents living in the precinct. Given the lack of employment opportunities in the area, the precinct has high unemployment rate and low weekly personal income. The City of Banyule (City of Banyule, n.d.) highlighted that the unemployment rate in the neighbourhood is rated the highest across the municipality (City of Banyule, 2015). In addition, it is reported that 326 households in the precinct are suffering from rental stress (atlas.id, 2016). The low socio-economic profile can be improved by providing more job opportunities within close proximity and the provision of affordable housing for current and future residents. 593 people

ZONING & OVERLAY Zoning
ZONING & OVERLAY
C1Z - Commercial 1 C2Z - Commercial 2 GRZ1 - General Residential Zone
The precinct is an established General Residential Zone (GRZ) with low-density dwellings that were developed by the housing commission in the 1950s. The zoning in the area illustrates that there are separate land uses Planning as Map the Commercial zone (C1Z), Public Use Zone (PUZ) and Public Parks (PPRZ & PCRZ), with these located at the edge of the precinct.
IN3Z - Industrial 3 MUZ - Mixed Use PUZ1 - Public Use - Service & Utility PUZ2 - Public Use - Education PPRZ - Public Park & Recreation PCRZ - Public Conservation & Resource Major Road/Road RDZ1 - Road - Category 1
The lack of mixed-use zoning ultimately reduces the quality of life as residents are required to walk more than 800 metres to their destination. Futhermore, the lack of street activities and employment opportunities would impact the local economic growth. Hence, inadequate access to jobs and services is one of the issues in the neighbourhood. 0

Olympic Village
O.V. Child & family Centre Malahang Parade Reserve Elsedeaq Mosque
The Elsedeaq Mosque is a significant landmark for the Somali community that resides in proximity such as the former Olympic Village, currently home to approximately 3000 Somali migrants (Rawlinson, 2016). They named the mosque as “Little Somaliland� (Rawlinson, 2016).
Darebin Creek
St Pius X Primary School
Most of these buildings were constructed in the 1950s, hence, concerns were raised by the residents due to the dated facilities inability to meet future needs of the community.

It is also observed that most of the bus services are not handicap accessible. Hence, there is a need to look into providing more handicap accessible public transport options and infrastructure for the handicap community in Heidelberg West.

Despite the provision of public transport services, the infrequency and long waiting time for buses prove the inefficiency of these services provided for the residents in the area. For example, an average waiting time for bus Route 550 leading towards La Trobe University via Waterdale Road is about 30 minutes on weekdays and 40 minutes on Saturday. It is noted that there is no bus service on Sunday. The inefficient bus services consequently contributes to the high reliance on automobile as reflected in the neighborhood.

WALKABILITY ANALYSIS
WALKABILITY ANALYSIS This walkability assessment uses a 20 minutes walking catchment to analyze walkability in the neighborhood. Through analysis, it is evident that residents are able to reach key amenities within a 20 minutes’ walk.

However, as shown in figure 24, 25 and 26, walking along main roads (Oriel Road and Southern Road) further impedes the pedestrian experience due to the narrow footpaths (less than 1.5 m), wide streets and low street activity.

The topography analysis suggests that the precinct is relatively flat hence ideal for future public transport improvements, particularly the provision of the tram network.

In terms of street patterns, cul-de-sac and grid street patterns are two dominant street typologies in the area. Unlike grid pattern, the cul-de-sac is considered inefficient as it limits pedestrian access and permeability through buildings, thus it reduces walkability.

In terms of development, typical suburban dwellings tend to have large setbacks and backyards. As shown in Figure 30, new developments display narrow setbacks and smaller green open spaces.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REPORT

This Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) will use the community feedback collated by City of Banyule to address the concerns and needs of the residents.

/
diversity and friendliness

/
As noted in the Community Engagement Report (Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services, 2017), most of the residents were concerned by the high crime rates and anti-social behavior due to the inadequate surveillance in the precinct, the lack of street lightings on residential streets, public transportation, traffic congestions, road safety, dated buildings, lack of street trees and streetscape maintenance.

However, the community suggested that the precinct is diversified with strong community spirit, the availability of parking and sporting facilities. Not only The Mall and Malahang Parade Reserves are a great meeting place for people, the indigenous flora and fauna in Darebin Creek serves as an attraction for the precinct.

THE MISSING LINK
THE MISSING LINK
Distance away from precinct: 3.2 km
Due to the lack of proximity to train station and infrequent bus services, residents remain highly dependent on automobile transport. Despite its close centrality to Melbourne’s Central Business District (12 km), an average public transport travel time to the CBD takes about 45 minutes. The long travel distance will consequently affect the quality of life, commuting experience, and mental health of the community in time to come.

CREATING A NEW LINK
CREATING A NEW LINK The proposed tram route will serve as an essential link for the ‘La Trobe National Employment and Innovation Cluster’. It will not only connect people to their jobs and education but will also intersect with existing public transport bus (route 517, 527, 549, 552, 553 and 903), tram (route 86) and train (Preston Railway Station and Heidelberg Railway Station) networks. The outcome of this tram proposal will improve public transport services, facilitate better connectivity to jobs, education, and services, reduce car dependency, improve street activity and quality of life.

VISION
Heidelberg West Green City Precinct will be a vibrant and inclusive place for residents to live, work and grow. Located within the La Trobe Employment and Innovation Cluster, it will be a central knowledge hub that promotes lifelong learning through the provision of skill-based training and vocational education. It will be an accessible, 20-minute walkable neighbourhood, offering local amenities within close proximity, and easy access to Northland and Heidelberg major activity centres, employment opportunities, and surrounding transport networks. A new tram route will activate Oriel Road as a future “high� street for the precinct, connecting the iconic Mall and Olympic Village shopping centres, and providing for new mixed use residential development. Development will adhere to eco-city principles and aim to co-exist harmoniously with Darebin Creek, with the desire of enhancing the natural ecosystem, and establishing the creek as a valuable open space beneficial to the health and wellbeing of residents.
