Macksville has been identified as an important link in the NSW Fast Rail Network. The delivery of this transformative, state-shaping infrastructure, requires the implementation of a structure plan that will not only accom modate the anticipated growth of Macksville but will also contribute to the revitalisation and activation of the coastal town.

EXECUTIVE

The North Coast Regional Plan 2017 (the Plan) (Department of Planning, Industry and Environment) identifies the opportunity to make use of the strategic positioning of Macksville along the Pacific Highway to stimulate social and economic development alongside the creation of employment lands that would support surrounding communities. In doing so, the Plan seeks to establish a network of communities connected by transport infrastructure along the North Coast of NSW. As a predominantly residential town, commercial activity is concentrated in the Town Centre, with rural land uses located along the periphery of the township. The natural topography of Macksville presents challenges to expanding commercial and residential activities away from the existing Town Centre. Positioned along the Nambucca River, Macksville is subject to flooding and bushfires. In addition, Macksville is bounded by low mountains to the North, West and South. In considering the delivery of the Fast Rail network and the constraints presented by the environment, an opportunity emerges to leverage the opportunities of the existing Town Centre. In doing so, this structure plan aims to improve the interoperability of the existing transport network, enhance connectivity and support the activation of the town.

• Connectivity and access to and through Macksville is primarily vehicle and road-based. In late 2014, an extension of the Pacific Highway from Warrell Creek to Nambucca Heads was developed. The extension of the Pacific Highway involves 19.5km of four lane divided road, a new major crossing of the Nambucca River at Macksville and the Macksville bypass (Depart ment of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communica tions 2020). The Macksville bypass is 14km and opened in 2017, directing through traffic travelling towards Nambucca Heads away from the town.

• New pedestrian and cycle paths along the river and direct connections from the ‘High Street’ Precinct and Civic Plaza; and

• Realigning Wallace and West Streets to resemble a ‘traditional’ north-south connection; and

• Creating new streets and providing additional street extensions to increase permeability and meet best-practice walkability outcomes by creating blocks that are the optimal size, i.e. 150m x 80m.

3. Redefine the existing street grid to be more legible, walkable and connected 4. Expand and increase the green-grid and tree canopy to integrate with rivers Macksville’s existing street network has the foundations for the establishment of a ‘traditional’ street grid layout. Redefining the existing street grid will significantly improve both pedestrian and vehicle connectivity, especially east-west to improve mid-block permeability and north-south to provide access to the river foreshore. The addition of a pedestrianised portion of the ‘highstreet’ precinct, new pedestrian path along the foreshore and new pedestrian bridge will further improve walkability within Macksville.

5. Activate the river foreshore to establish Macksville as a waterfront destination

• Creating new pedestrian only connections, including a new pedestrian bridge connecting the Macksville Town Centre with the north-western extent of Macksville.

• Locating new mixed-use precincts, retail blocks and active frontages along the new east-west connection parallel to the river.

• Rehabilitating and transforming the environmental conservation land located north-west of the Town Centre into a new passive and active open space.

Key elements of this design principle include:

• Tree-lined streets and tree-cover on private land.

• The addition of new public open spaces;

• A new linear corridor of passive open space that runs along the Nambucca River and Tilly Willy Creek foreshore to enable public access and enjoyment of the rivers;

Part of the reimagination of Macksville is making it a waterfront destination, by activating the river foreshore. Macksville is blessed by its position at the confluence of three major waterways which provides the town with an expansive outlook and views to the Nambucca River, Taylors Arm and Tilly Willy Creek. To leverage Macksville’s positioning, it is envisaged future development of the town will activate the extensive river foreshore through:

This principle is focused on expanding the green-grid, specifically along the river foreshore to better integrate with the waterways. Expanding the green-grid will provide much needed high-quality passive and active open space for the anticipated influx of visitors and residents associated with the introduction of the High Speed Rail. The provision of new open spaces along the river foreshore will deliver an appropriate interface from the proposed new built form associated with the elevated rail interchange and new mixed use precincts. Transforming land along the foreshore into new open space is the only viable option, given this land is exposed to flood risk, making it unsuitable for built form development. Additionally, increasing tree canopy with create a healthy and cool Macksville, as well as contribute the desired future character and streetscape. Key elements of this principle are:

PLAN4002: Plan Making Studio Alysha Tse - z5258885 17 3 STRATEGIC PRECINCT PLAN

All three urban layouts envisage a redefined wayward street grid that has rationalised and supplemented new streets, lanes and extensions to support improved connectivity and walkability. In each of the precinct plans there is a new fork intersection on the north-eastern portion of Macksville. The new fork intersection creates two new routes, with the top route taking commuters and pedestrians along the river and directly to the bridge to the western extent of Macksville, with the bottom route providing commuters and pedestrians a direct path to the station via the Town Centre Core.

Bayswater Station, Perth

Three distinct and unique precinct layouts have been designed for a reimagined Macksville. Each design embodies the overarching design principle of unlocking the potential of the elevated rail corridors and interchange, whilst incorporating the remaining four design principles.

In all three precinct plans the creation of a new civic plaza under the proposed abovegrade rail interchange and activating the river foreshore were fundamental. A new mixed use civic plaza has been created in each precinct under the rail interchange (like Bayswater Station in Perth) to activate the area beneath the station, enhance the public domain and guide people from the station towards the revived high-streets and Town Centre Core. A new foreshore park that wraps around the entire river frontage of Macksville is featured in each precinct plan. This new foreshore park will activate the river foreshore and act as an urban sponge and a natural water sensitive infrastructure asset that will protect Macksville from future flood risk. Furthermore, each precinct plan

Additionally, all three urban layouts include a new key extension of Joffre Street, providing better connectivity from the western extent of Macksville into the main town centre. The existing River Street has been realigned in all three precinct plans and is now further setback from the river to protect vehicles and pedestrians from future risk of flooding, as well as accommodate a new park that runs along the foreshore.

3.1 Precinct Plan - Option 1 Macksville Triangle Precinct Option 1 plays on the idea of a making the Macksville Town Centre Core a triangle (Macksville Triangle). This is achieved by retaining the existing ‘high-street’ along Wallace Street, creating a new ‘high-street’ extension along Princess Street, and a ‘high-street’ extension along Station Street. By creating Macksville Triangle, it will expand the existing Town Centre Core both north-east and south-west.

• A redefined, legible and rationalised street grid that includes: 1) realignment of West Street to create a new north-south connection and 2) additional east-west connections to improve walkability and permeability within Macksville Town Centre.

• A civic spine along Wallace Street, with the three new triangular shaped lots proposed to be the location of two new public buildings and a pocket park. These public buildings and pocket park will serve as anchors of the Macksville Triangle.

• A health and education sub-precinct located in the north-western extent of the Macksville Town Centre featuring a new health hub, the relocated TAFE and Primary School and a new childcare facility.

• A new primary school that is located off the busy revived high street along Wallace Street, creating a safer environment for both pedestrians and students during school drop off and pick up.

It is envisaged the revived Town Centre Core will comprise of medium to high-density mixeduse development, with landscaped streets along the pedestrianised junction. A portion of the realined River Street will be a Shared Zone to enable appreciation of the heritage items and provide a street frontage for buildings in the foreshore park.

• A new primary school west of the existing location to enable the revitalisation and intensification of Wallace Street into a major retail strip and pedestrian priority shared zone.

• A new indoor sports centre co-located near the existing Macksville Memorial Aquatic Centre and sportsfield at Macksville Park to create a new recreation and sports subprecinct. x t La nd sc a ped S treet (4 6m ) S hared zo ne ( Hig h S treet ) H ea th H ub C vi c P a za E x s t ing A qua ti c Centre Ind o or Sp o r ts Cent re E x s t ing P rima ry Sc ho o E x s t ing Chi ldc a re E x s t ing H ig h S cho o R elo ca t ed Pr m ar y Sc ho o l E x s t ing H erit a ge S t at o n Bu ld ings E x s t ing Co unc il Cham bers Co unc il/C v c Centre E x s t ing TAFE Ar t s and Cult ura Ce ntre E x s t ing L ibrar y L bra ry R elo ca t ed TAFE Ch ld c are Yout h Ce nt re T Pro po sed a bo ve g ra de H g h S peed R ail Pro po sed a bo ve g ra de e xis t ng ra il T HSR T HSR Bush Park Wa t erwa y La ne(6

• A new civic plaza that connects the new TAFE, library and auditorium and activates the station precinct, with the new public buildings generating activity and movement of people.

Pedestrianised Macksville Junction Precinct Option 2 seeks to replicate an equivalent of ‘Pitt Street Mall’ in the Macksville Town Centre by making the junction of Matilda and Wallace Streets pedestrian priority. The pedestrianised junction of Matilda and Wallace Street will function as the major retail and commercial centre of the reimagined Macksville Town Centre and will also revive the existing Town Centre Core.

• A new high-street extension along Matilda Street, extending the Macksville Town Centre Core south-east and create opportunities for additional active frontages.

• Extending the existing Town Centre west, by introducing a new high-street along Station Street.

• Expansion of Dawkins Park to provide a new active open space area.

• A new childcare located away from the revived Town Centre Core and in a more central and accessible location of Macksville to serve both the existing residential development to the east, north and south, as well as the anticipated residential development within the Town Centre Core.

Activated River Precinct Option 3 prioritises the activation of the river that encompasses Macksville by extending the Town Centre west to bring activity from the high-street precinct to visitors as soon as they exit the above-grade rail interchange. Extending the Town Centre Core west will generate activity and excitement along the river and within the Station Precinct, as people travelling by rail will be greeted by a thriving high-street and new civic plaza that will feature a mixture of retail, food and drink premises and public buildings. The western extension will also act as a ‘taster’ of all the things Macksville has to offer, as it is the primary movement corridor that connects the rail interchange and civic plaza back to the Town Centre Core.

Key elements within Option 3 are:

• Community pavilions dispersed throughout the new foreshore park to activate the foreshore and foster opportunities for the community to interact with the river.

• A rationalised and legible street grid to create a highly connected and walkable Macksville Town Centre.

Triangle

• Limited intensification proposed in the new civic plaza and along the western extent of the Town Centre to maintain view corridors to Tilly Willy Creek and Taylors Arm further west.

All three urban layouts presented unique and city-shaping design elements that would assist in revitalising Macksville into a thriving, vibrant and contemporary Town Centre. Therefore, the preferred option is a hybrid that adopts the key elements proposed for the revived Town Centre Core. Specifically, the concept of the Town Centre Core renamed to Macksville Triangle (Option 1) has been integrated into the preferred option and is formed by the pedestrianised junction of Matilda and Wallace Streets (Option 2) and Station Street (Option 1 & 3). Additionally, the western extension of the Town Centre via Station Street (Option 3) has been adopted to activate the adjacent civic plaza by introducing retail uses, a new health hub and new TAFE which will generate activity around the new rail interchange. This western extension is the primary movement corridor that connects the rail interchange and civic plaza back to the Town Centre Core. Furthermore, making the northern extent of Matilda Street a high-street (Option 3) extends the Town Centre to the Nambucca River and provides opportunities for activation.

• A selection of streets (primarily ones exposed to flood risk) within Macksville Town Centre will feature landscaping including rain gardens and pervious surfaces. These landscaped streets will provide additional natural water sensitive infrastructure that will enable absorption and temporary storage of stormwater to help mitigate flooding within the Town Centre and severe damage.

The preferred option assumes land within East Macksville will be reclaimed for a major strategic natural flood mitigation to protect the reimagined Macksville Town Centre. Part of the strategic flood mitigation involves re-engineering and transforming Macksville Park and Dawkins Park into detention basins to allow the temporary storage of stormwater as an additional precaution to protect the Town Centre Core from flood damage. This approach is similar to Hasset Park in Section 5 Campbell, Sarah Redfern Park in Minto and Victoria Park in Camperdown, where the active and passive open spaces are at a lower elevation than surrounding streets and built form, to enable the parks to act as urban sponges by holding and absorbing rainwater when it falls. Furthermore, it is proposed and existing stream located between residential development within east Macksville be daylighted to allow storage of stormwater that will flow back to Nambucca OtherRiver.

• A new primary school and childcare facility located away from the revived Wallace Street and pedestrianised Macksville Triangle. This design element creates a safer environment for students during school drop off and pick up. Additionally, moving the school and childcare away from the high-street facilitates a safe environment for pedestrians in the new shared zone within Macksville Triangle.

• A plaza area within the new foreshore park to create a landmark destination and enable public access and appreciation to the repurposed heritage station buildings. This landmark destination will further connect the river to the Town Centre and provide opportunties for outdoor dining along the river.

key elements of the Preferred Option include:

PLAN4002: Plan Making Studio Alysha Preferred Option - Hybrid Macksville a Sponge City with a Pedestrianised Town Centre

• A portion of the realigned River Street made a shared zone to create a street frontage for building located within the Foreshore Park. A shared zone will enable greater appreciation of existing heritage items located along the Shared Zone.

• Lower intensification is proposed in the northern extent of the Town Centre to maintain views and vistas to the Nambucca River.

• Adaptive reuse of heritage station buildings into new community and commercial uses inspired by the historic Temora Railway Station and Newcastle Station.

• A new arts and cultural centre anchors the new pedestrianised Macksville Triangle and will also act as a beacon to signify to vehicles they are entering a shared zone.

• A new foreshore park that wraps around Macksville’s entire river frontage and includes community pavilions to provide amenity as the community interacts and enjoys the river. This new park frames the Town Centre and will serve as an urban sponge in the event of a flood.

• The adaptive reuse extensions of selected heritage items have been proposed at the rear of the heritage item to allow adequate view sharing for development south the heritage items. These adaptive reuse extensions are sympathetic to the existing height of the heritage items in most cases are an additional storey in height.

The significant investment in infrastructure creates an exciting opportunity to leverage the High-Speed Rail to enliven and revitalise the existing Macksville Town Centre into a vibrant, resilient and integrated centre. Investment in the revitalisation of Macksville will transform the town into a Strategic Centre of the Nambucca Valley region, aligning with State Government’s Strategy for decentralisation. The Masterplan illustrates the finer grain of 3 urban blocks (10 mini blocks), setting out the desired layout of built form which is driven by the activation of the high-street streetscapes and foreshore. It also details the desired future character of the public realm by providing generous urban canopy and highquality footpaths that connect to the wider network.

• Views of the river are obtained from Block 1 and 2, with the built form proposed opposite the foreshore park of lower height. Additionally, a new view corridor has been created from the placement of apartments above mixed use in block 1, enabling potential residents in apartments in Block 2 to enjoy views of the river

• Retention and addition of new heritage items located within the foreshore park will activate the foreshore and make Macksville a waterfront destination (Principle 5). These heritage items convey the historic character and identity of the town, creating a visual interest of the reimagined Town Centre. There is potential for these heritage items to be restored for adaptive reuse into a mix of retail, community, cafes and restaurant uses.

• The urban blocks are located within the north-east portion of the Town Centre and northeast of the relocated Town Centre Core (Macksville Triangle). They are bound by the new foreshore park to the north, Matilda Street (High-Street) to the west, Forrester Lane to the south and Giinagay Way to the east.These blocks represent redevelopment of the existing Town Centre Core and each block has two ‘high-street’ frontages being Wallace and Matilda Streets for Block 1 and 2, and Wallace and Princess Street for Block 3.

The new High-Speed Rail Station is a catalytic project that will reimagine Macksville.

• A new civic centre including Council Chambers and public courtyard is provided at the corner of Wallace and River Streets, anchoring the precinct and will contribute to an activated foreshore with the external courtyard enabling people to gather and utilise as a through-block connection.

• Laneways play a crucial role in increasing block permeability for pedestrians and creating opportunities visually interesting spaces within the Town Centre. Both vehicle and pedestrians can be accommodated in the one-way lanes. The network of lanes also provide site-servicing, with the lanes providing rear access for deliveries or for residents accessing garages or basement parking.

• Each urban block features small public external courtyards and landscaping to facilitate opportunities for formal and informal outdoor dining and social interaction, further contributing to the vision for an enhanced public domain that will make a vibrant and activated Macksville. fur ther key

The public domain structure aims to create a highly-connected, permeable and walkable Town Centre that has access to high-quality open spaces and the new rail interchange, located 400m from the revitalised precinct.

• Through block connections are provided between the heritage buildings to enable direct access to the Foreshore Park. Additionally, the new courtyard adjacent to the new civic building provides an addition through block connection to access the foreshore Park.

A diverse range of building type are proposed in the precinct to create a thriving Town Centre that serves the needs of the local community and visitors. Each building type responds to its context and role within the broader Strategic Precinct Plan.

• A new Civic building is located at the corner of River and Wallace Streets to activate the foreshore and serve as an anchor of this precinct.

• Adaptive reuse extensions at select heritage items are proposed to ensure the maintenance and preservation of heritage items remains feasible. Additionally, these adaptive reuse extensions will enable the heritage items to have a presence to the new realigned River Street and enable ground floor activation with these extensions hosting a mix of retail, cafes, offices or restaurants.

• A key objective of the Strategic Precinct Plan is to create an active and vibrant streetscape for pedestrians travelling along the proposed ‘High-Streets’. As mentioned previously, each urban block has two frontages to two of the ‘high-streets’, therefore mixed use development will line the high-streets with cafes, retail, restaurants and commercial premises located on the ground floor to achieve the level of activation envisaged.

• Downzone of B3 Commercial Core to B2 Local Centre for blocks with heritage items. This downzone is to ensure future development of the heritage items is sympathetic and respects the existing heritage fabric. Additionally, the downzone represents an additional measure to protect the heritage significance of these buildings.

• Introduction of SP2 Infrastructure (Road Alignment) to facilitate the delivery of the realigned River Street and Shared Zone.

• Rezone portion of Block 1 to B4 Mixed Use from B3 Commercial Core, as development is anticipated to be ancillary to the Town Centre Core by providing active uses along the foreshore.

• North-eastern corner of Block 2 to be rezoned B4 Mixed Use from B3 Commercial Core, to enable transition from commercial use to residential use.

The current zoning of the precinct predominantly comprises of B3 Commercial Core and B4 Mixed Use. While the proposed Masterplan can be achieved under the current zoning, it may result in a poorer outcome for development surrounding the heritage items. Therefore the following zoning changes are proposed:

Within the Precinct there are two existing heritage items, being 1) the Nambucca Hotel (local) and 2) Macksville Post Office (National). It is proposed to list the remaining buildings along the old River Street (now Foreshore Park) as Local Heritage Items. This proposed heritage listing is consistent with recent work undertaken by Nambucca Heads Council to restore the historic character of the shops fronting River Street. In 2018, at a meeting held by the Nambucca Advisory Council, actress and local Rachel Ward presented her schematic design to reinvigorate the River Street facade to its former ‘glory’ and unique character.
