The site is the southern parcel contained within Lot 1 on PS701127S and has an area of approximately 24ha. The northern parcel of the allotment, dissected by the future railway corridor that forms part of the Regional Rail Link, does not form part of this application. It is proposed to subdivide the land into 294 residential lots in a mix of lot sizes. The proposed subdivision also includes a central open space and drainage reserve which will be designed to act as passive open space. The land is within the Urban Growth Zone and forms part of the Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP1089) area. The land is not currently affected by any overlays. A planning permit is required under the following clauses of the Wyndham Planning Scheme: Clause 37.07-10 (Urban Growth Zone) – To subdivide land. Clause 52.29 (Land Adjacent to a Road Zone, Category 2) – To subdivide land adjacent to a road in a Road Zone, Category 1. To provide for an expedited and efficient approvals process, this application has been prepared as part of a combined planning scheme amendment and permit application under Section 96A of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to be considered concurrently with the Tarneit North PSP. The proposed subdivision will enable the land to be developed in accordance with the vision established in the PSP. Another application for subdivision of the northern parcel of the allotment together with the adjoining lot to the north extending to Dohertys Road is also included in the combined application. The proposed plan of subdivision provides for a variable range of residential lot sizes and reflecting its location on the northern edge of the Tarneit Gardens Town Centre catchment and residential neighbourhood. Whilst some minor deviations are proposed from the draft Tarneit North PSP, these are generally as a consequence of design detail. Overall, it is considered that the design response is generally in accordance with and maintains the integrity and objectives of the PSP. 2 Leakes Rd, Tarneit This report describes the site and its context, details the proposal and provides an assessment of the proposal against the relevant provisions of the Wyndham Planning Scheme. 1.2 Strategic Context 1.2.1 West Growth Corridor Plan Subject Land Figure 1 – Melbourne West Growth Corridor Plan The West Growth Corridor Plan establishes a framework for sustainable growth within the most rapidly growing of Melbourne’s growth corridors. It was adopted by the Minister for Planning on 13 June 2012. Upon development, the West Growth Corridor will support an increase in population of at least 290,000 and will have capacity to accommodate at least 130,000 jobs. The Corridor Plan sets a vision and provides a structure to deliver major infrastructure to the region that will support the region’s important role in meeting Victoria’s industrial and logistics needs. Planned infrastructure within the West Corridor includes: The Regional Rail Link (RRL); The proposed Outer Metropolitan Ring (OMR) transport corridor; The Melton rail line corridor; and The potential Western Intermodal Freight Terminal. The Melbourne West Growth Corridor Plan is depicted at Figure 1. 3 Leakes Rd, Tarneit Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan The Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP1089) is a strategic plan prepared by the Growth Areas Authority to guide urban development within the PSP area. It covers an area of approximately 1,000ha hectares and is expected to provide for more than 12,000 homes for around 35,000 new residents over the next 20 years. 1.2.2 When approved, Amendment Cxx to the Wyndham Planning Scheme will incorporate the following documents into the Wyndham Planning Scheme: Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP1089); Tarneit North Development Contributions Plan; and Tarneit North Native Vegetation Precinct Plan The Amendment will also: Apply Schedule xxx to the Urban Growth Zone (UGZxxx) to all land within the Tarneit North PSP area; Introduce Schedule xxx to the Urban Growth Zone (UGZxxx) into the Wyndham Planning Scheme; Apply the Residential 1 Zone to the subject land as an implied zone through the UGZxxx; and Apply Schedule xxx to the Development Contributions Overlay (DCPOxxx) to all land within the Tarneit North PSP area; Introduce Schedule xxx to the Development Contributions Overlay (DCPOxx) into the Wyndham Planning Scheme. The location of the site as part of the Tarneit North PSP is shown in Figure 2. 4 Leakes Rd, Tarneit Plan showing subject site on FUSP base (when avail) Figure 2 – Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP 40) 5 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 2 SITE ANALYSIS 2.1 Site Context The site is located approximately 25km to the west of Melbourne’s CBD, within the City of Wyndham (refer Figure 3 – Locality Plan). The land is situated to the north of the established area of Tarneit. Land to the north, west and east is currently used for grazing and agricultural purposes. Leakes Road forms the southern boundary of the site, and represents the current edge to the established residential area of Tarneit. The Rose Grange Activity Centre is located approximately 1.6km to the east of the site. 2.2 Access Existing Road Network The subject land is accessed via a central crossover to Leakes Road and also via an unmade access on the north eastern corner of the parcel to Tarneit Road. Leakes and Tarneit Roads are both two-carriageway roads that are constructed to rural road standard within road reservations of approximately 20m. Public Transport The reservation for the future Regional Rail Link (RRL) bisects the overall site, forming the northern boundary of the site for this application. When complete, the RRL project will carry VLine services from Geelong and beyond and will provide two new stations at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale. The future Tarneit station directly adjoins the subject land, to the north west of the site. 6 Leakes Rd, Tarneit Subject Site Figure 3 – Locality Plan 7 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 2.3 The Subject Site Site Particulars The site is the southern parcel contained within Lot 1 on PS701127. The site is generally rectangular and has an area of approximately 24ha. 2.3.1 The northern parcel of the allotment, dissected by the future railway corridor that forms part of the Regional Rail Link, does not form part of this application. Instrument AH462111E dated 30/08/2010 is the only encumbrance registered on the Certificate of Title for the land. Instrument AH462111E is a notice under 201UB Planning and Environment Act that registers that the land is subject to a Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) Levy upon a GAIC event being triggered. Topography The site and surrounding land sits within the broader context of the Victorian Volcanic Plains which is characterised flat to gently undulating land with stony rises and volcanic cones, however the subject land is generally flat with a consistent and gradual fall from the mid-point of the land. 2.3.2 Vegetation There is no native vegetation on the subject land. 2.3.3 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage A cultural heritage management plan has been undertaken by Ecology and Heritage Partners. The assessment confirmed that there are no areas of cultural heritage significance. 2.3.4 Services and Utilities As a background study to the PSP, an infrastructure and services capacity assessment was undertaken by Spiire Consultants. The report investigated the capacity of the following utilities in catering for the future community within the Tarneit North PSP area: 2.3.5 Water Sewer Recycled Water Power Gas Telecommunications Overall the site has access to urban services extensions from development from the south. 8 Leakes Rd, Tarneit w Figure 4 – Site Analysis Plan 9 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 3 PROPOSAL 3.1 Overview It is proposed to subdivide the site to create 294 residential lots as shown in the Proposed Plan of Subdivision attached at Appendix 1 to this report. 3.2 Design Response Overall Masterplan An overall Masterplan has been prepared to guide subdivision of the larger landholding and to ensure a coordinated and orderly process for future subdivision stages. The Masterplan provides the necessary context for the application and does not form part of this application. A copy of the Overall Masterplan, showing the site for this application as Precinct 1, is attached at Appendix 2. 3.2.1 The Masterplan provides for a highly permeable road network generally aligned within 20O of a north-south orientation. Within the Amex holding two points of connection to the existing road network are proposed incorporating unsignalised left in/left out access arrangements in keeping with the requirement of the PSP. Local streets are established within a partial grid format and provide a high level of permeability. The Masterplan provides the opportunity for a ‘community hub’ and gateway at the Tarneit Road entrance to the northern site. It is intended that this land will accommodate a community recreation building comprising swimming pool, commercial kitchen and floor space for functions (restricted recreation centre) and a private child care facility incorporating a small public park interface. These facilities will supplement broader community services and facilities anticipated to be provided in the main town centre in the west of the PSP. An area of neighbourhood open space is provided within the AMEX holding (within Precinct 2), with part of the site conjoining with the primary active open space reserve which is centrally located within the PSP area. This park is intended to be the main central focal point for the community. It will be complemented by the retarding basis for storm water which will be designed to provide some complementary open space function. 10 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 3.2.2 Removal of Vegetation The proposed subdivision does not necessitate the removal of native vegetation. Access Access to the site is restricted to Leakes Road and connection to the site to the west of the application area by the Regional Rail Link and the Tarneit road overpass. Access can only be provided from Leakes Road. 3.2.3 Access is influenced by: − The proximity to the Leakes Road, Tarneit Road intersection, a major, future arterial road intersection − The provision of a signalised intersection approximately 150m west of the site. − The RRL access point. Two “left in/left out” access points will be provided no more than 200m west of the Leakes Road/Tarneit Road intersection. Pedestrian access points will be available at all local street interfaces with the arterial roads where at grade pedestrian access exists. The provision of good access to the west of the site will be important in providing access to the multi-directional signalised intersection. Housing Diversity Objectives. The housing mix and lot size has been influenced by input from Oliver Hume, providing a response to market analysis of demand for housing type across Melbourne’s west and Wyndham in particular. 3.2.4 This has also been informed by the need to respond to the physical constraints of the site, particularly the interface to the Tarneit Road railway overpass and the railway line. The advice and response to the site is also influenced by a desire to provide a diverse housing mix for all sectors of the market. In addressing these objectives specifically to the subject application area, regard has been given to: − Restricted access to the site, being bounded by Leakes Road (a future 6 lane arterial), Tarneit Road overpass and the RRL. − The uncertainty with regard to the future timing of a railway station adjoining the site, indications being that any station will be long term if at all. − The physical separation provided by the railway line to the greater part of the PSP area to the north. Essentially, this application area will have a strong relationship to the urban community to the south of Leakes Road. 11 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 3.3 Land Budget 3.3.1 Net Developable Area The land budget for the proposed subdivision (Precinct 1) is presented in Table 1 below. Table 1 – Net Developable Area Description Overall Site Area Arterial Road widening Encumbered Open Space (easement) Encumbered Open Space (drainage) Passive Open Space Linear Open Space Tree Reserve Net Developable Area (NDA) Area (ha) 24.017 1.814 0.141 1.480 0.752 0.592 0.399 18.839 ha % of Site 100% 7.55% 0.59% 6.16% 3.13% 2.4% 1.66% 78.44% % of NDA 9.63% 0.75% 7.85% 3.99% 3.14% 2.12% Yield The proposed subdivision for the site (Precinct 1) delivers a density of 15.6 dwellings per net developable hectare. Table 2 below provides a summary of the proposed lot mix. A further breakdown of the residential yield by lot size and stage is provided on the Proposed Plan of Subdivision (Yield). 3.3.2 Table 2 – Residential lot yield Frontage width 8m 9m 10.5m 12.5m 14m 15m 16m 18m Total 3.4 Area (ha) 0.161 0.129 0.445 1.845 4.604 0.112 5.204 0.068 12.568 Qty 9 6 15 52 103 4 104 1 294 % Mix 3.06% 2.04% 5.10% 17.6% 35.03% 1.36% 35.37% 0.34% 100% Urban Design Interface with Leakes Road The plan demonstrates lot frontage and internal local street frontage to Leakes Road for all but a small section of the Leakes Road frontage. For the 250m lead in to the Leakes and Tarneit Roads intersection an additional 5m landscape strip is proposed with the objective of providing larger tree planting outside the arterial road reservation. 3.4.1 Interface with Tarneit Road Tarneit Road is influenced by the railway overpass presenting a frontage to the batter to the overpass. 3.4.2 While it is understood that the overpass will be landscapes, the plan will provide no access to Tarneit Road. The objective for this interface is to: 12 Leakes Rd, Tarneit − Minimise the visual impact of the batter to residential properties. − Utilise built form in the design of medium density development to provide some acoustic protection to the subdivision. − Provide a design response in the medium density housing form that will present well to Tarneit road. The solution is a medium density housing product used in other locations in Melbourne, including an interface with the Western Ring Road where the rear of the medium density housing will present to Tarneit road as a 2-storey wall with windows and design features. Each window will be acoustically treated for the amenity of residents of the dwellings. 13 Leakes Rd, Tarneit Road Treatments Cross sections for the key road treatments that depart from the standard GAA requirements are provided at Appendix 3 to this report. 3.4.3 Primary Access Street The main entry to the subdivision will be designed as a variation of an Access Level 2 road. 3.4.4 This road will not need to function as a connector as there are no destination or traffic volumes that will justify a connector standard. A variation to the cross section of an access level 2 road is proposed to increase the verge planting width to 5m to enable larger tree species to be established. The road cross section has also been modified opposite the drainage reserve to provide a “park” interface. Secondary Streets The objective for the major East/West street, north of the drainage reserve providing access to the local park is to provide 5m verges (nature strips) to allow for increased planting. 3.4.5 Interface with Regional Rail Line The interface with the RRL is to have all dwellings fronting the railway line, providing a local street access and an 8m landscaping strip. While the detail of landscaping will need to be resolved with Council, the reservation has the potential to accommodate diverse planting and some mounding (functioning as limited acoustic treatment and a barrier to direct access across the railway line). 3.4.6 Public Open Space The local park has been located central to the plan and will be supplemented by the drainage reserve being designed as a secondary open space asset. 3.4.7 The design and detail of the treatment of the local park will be developed in consultation with Council but will seek to respond to the broader landscape objectives as outlined in the Tarneit North PSP. Designing for Noise The site’s location at a major future traffic intersection, overpass and railway line necessitates a diverse response to noise amelioration. This will be achieved through subdivision design, built form and treatment of individual building construction methods and treatment. 3.4.8 Specifically, the subdivision plan responds to the visual and noise impacts by: − Overpass interface will seek to provide a consistent built form interface to minimise impacts from traffic at elevated road overpass. Each building will be treated acoustically with double glazing and additional insulation on the overpass interface. Open space to each dwelling will be provided at the front of the dwelling for amenity reasons. − Railway interface will set all building frontages back at least 26 metres from the railway reservation (8m tree reserve, 13 m street reservation, 5m building setback on site). An Acoustic Report has been prepared by Renzo Tonin & Associates (3 May 2013). Bedrooms of properties that are exposed to maximum external noise levels greater than 80db(A) will be insulated as part of the building design as recommended in the report or further agreed with the Responsible Authority. Furthermore, facades of bedrooms within the eastern medium density envelope, adjacent to Tarneit Road, will be constructed as per Table 2 in the Acoustic Report. 14 Leakes Rd, Tarneit Staging The proposed subdivision plan indicates six development stages. 3.4.9 3.4.10 Drainage The final drainage scheme has yet to be approved by Melbourne Water. Based on draft concepts, storm water flows will be directed to the west in the south of the plan area and to the east in the north. The following presents a summary of the 2 schemes as they are currently developed: Southern Catchment The initial concept identifies a drainage scheme for the south of the plan are which will flow to the west along the railway line easement to a drainage treatment facility west of the application area as identified in the PSP. This may necessitate a temporary retarding basin in the south west of the plan area to retard flows to rural standard should the ultimate treatment facility not be constructed at the time of development, as outlined in the drainage report. Northern Catchment The Northern catchment flows to the west. The preliminary concept by Melbourne water identifies a potential single flow path and crossing of Tarneit Road at a point close to the main east-west connector intersection. An alternative concept is in consideration which seeks to provide multiple crossing points and a more dispersed flow to the west to be accommodated in a normal street network both East and West of Tarneit Road. Details of both options have been included with this application and will be further developed with Melbourne water. 15 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 4 PLANNING ASSESSMENT 4.1 Amendment Cxx This application is linked to Amendment Cxxx which proposes to introduce the Tarneit North PSP and associated planning controls into the Wyndham Planning Scheme. The assessment of this application is therefore based on the proposed controls to be introduced through the amendment. 4.2 Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan Expand with PSP details. 4.3 Zone Clause 37.07 – Urban Growth Zone The objectives of this Clause are: 4.3.1 • “To manage the transition of non-urban land into urban land in accordance with a precinct structure plan. • To provide for a range of uses and the development of land in accordance with a precinct structure plan. • To contain urban use and development to areas identified for urban development in a precinct structure plan. • To provide for the continued non-urban use of the land until urban development in accordance with a precinct structure plan occurs. • To ensure that, before a precinct structure plan is applied, the use and development of land does not prejudice the future urban use and development of the land.” Amendment Cxxx seeks to apply Schedule xxx to the PSP area. The purpose of this schedule (UGZ01) is to: • (xxx Insert when available) UGZ01 provides the statutory framework for all future use and development applications within the PSP area. The following requirements apply for subdivision applications within UGZxxx: • 16 (xxx Insert when available) Leakes Rd, Tarneit 4.4 Overlays Clause 45.06 – Development Contributions Plan Overlay – Schedule xx Subject to the approval of the PSP, Schedule xx to the DCPO will affect the site. 4.4.1 The purpose of this Clause is: To identify areas which require the preparation of a development contributions plan for the purpose of levying contributions for the provision of works, services and facilities before development can commence. The provisions of the Development Contributions Plan Overlay are acknowledged and contributions will be required as a condition on permit as part of the proposed subdivision. 4.5 Particular Provisions Clause 52.01 Public Open Space Contribution and Subdivision This clause requires that ‘a person who proposes to subdivide land must make a contribution to the council for public open space in an amount specified in the schedule to this clause (being a percentage of the land intended to be used for residential, industrial or commercial purposes, or a percentage of the site value of such land, or a combination of both)’. 4.5.1 A public open space contribution may be made only once for any of the land to be subdivided. The Schedule to Clause 52.01 specifies the amount of contribution for local (passive) public open space for land zoned UGZx (Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan) as 3.01%. The proposed subdivision comprises only part of the site, with the balance of the site and the combined Amex landholding to be further subdivided in accordance with the Tarneit North PSP. It is appropriate that the open space contribution be coordinated with the overall development of the land to provide meaningful and accessible open space within the neighbourhood. The proposed subdivision provides 3.99% of the net developable land as passive open space. Clause 52.16 Native Vegetation Precinct Plan No native vegetation is proposed to be removed. 4.5.2 Clause 52.29 Land Adjacent to a Road Zone The purpose of Clause 52.29 is to ensure appropriate access to identified roads and appropriate subdivision of land adjacent to identified roads. 4.5.3 The clause establishes a permit requirement for the subdivision of land or alteration of access to land that is adjacent to a Road Zone, Category 1. Tarneit Road is contained within Category 2 Road Zone. The proposed subdivision does no create formal access to Tarneit Road. An application must be referred to relevant Roads Corporation, in this case VicRoads. Clause 56 Residential Subdivision The purposes of Clause 56 are to: 4.5.4 17 To create liveable and sustainable neighbourhoods and urban places with character and identity. To achieve residential subdivision outcomes that appropriately respond to the site and its context for: Metropolitan Melbourne growth areas, infill sites within established residential areas and regional cities and towns. To ensure residential subdivision design appropriately provides for: − Policy implementation. − Liveable and sustainable communities. − Residential lot design. Leakes Rd, Tarneit − − − − Urban landscape. Access and mobility management. Integrated water management. Site management. The proposal complies with all of the relevant objectives of Clause 56. A full assessment against the relevant objectives and standards of Clause 56 is attached at Appendix 4. 18 Leakes Rd, Tarneit 5 CONCLUSION This report has been prepared in support of a planning application made for Amex Corporation on land at Tarneit Road in Tarneit. As detailed in this report, the proposed subdivision is responsive to the conditions and context of the site and is consistent with the relevant provisions of the Wyndham Planning Scheme. The proposed subdivision generally accords with the Tarneit North PSP that provides a cohesive framework for urban development within this precinct. The urban subdivision has been designed to respond specifically to physical and environmental constraints, including the potential traffic levels associated with the future completion of Tarneit Road as an arterial road, and the future regional railway line. A variety of lot sizes and configurations are provided to ensure a diversity of housing product. The local road network is structured to promote viewlines through the development towards areas of open space and provide efficient and pedestrian and vehicular linkages. The provision of open space is appropriate in scale and in location. The proposed plan of subdivision provides for the orderly development of the land for urban purposes through a staged approach that responds to market demand and ensures the timely delivery of services. The proposal will assist in facilitating the planned urban development of the land in accordance with the PSP, NVPP and DCP. We therefore respectfully request that Council support the proposal and issues the relevant planning permits for the proposed subdivisions. 19 Leakes Rd, Tarneit APPENDIX 1 – PROPOSED PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 20 LEGEND STAGING AMEX Site - Precinct 1 Lots 8.5 x 28m Lots 14 x 36m Community Facilities Stage 1 - 53 Lots Stage Boundary Lots 12.5 x 28m Lots 16 x 36m Primary School Stage 2 - 55 Lots Access Street Level 1 Lots 14 x 28m Lots 16 x 38m Easement Stage 3 - 49 Lots Access Street Level 2 Lots 16 x 28m Lots 16 x 40m Drainage Reserve Stage 4 - 42 Lots Lots 18 x 36m Active Open Space Stage 5 - 45 Lots Lots 10.5 x 28m Lots 18 x 38m Passive Open Space Stage 6 - 50 Lots Lots 12.5 x 32m Lots 18 x 40m Linear Open Space (PS701127 - 24.02Ha) Connector Street Lots 14 x 32m Tree Reserves 0 5 Lots 16 x 32m Medium Density Envelope Lots 16 x 36m Lots 8.0m x 20m Lots 9.0 x 20m Future Railway Lots 12.5 x 18-20m Station Lots 15 x 18m Lots 11.75-12.75 x 16m Lots 16 x 16m 8 . 0 m wi d e 1 6 L I NK L I N K AC C Q O U R R I S I D I T O I R ON A 49 L i n e a r R e s e r v e/ L a n d s c a p eB u f f e r 5 9 2 3 m² 1 6 TARNE I T N A L R AI LRA I L RO AD 5 0 20.831Ha (PART) ent 12 1 6 14. 1 1 6 49 1 4 . 1 16 20 1 6 Passive Open Space 5 0.750Ha 2 3 Drainage Reserve TARNEI T ROAD 1 6 1 8 20 1 RO AD Exi st i ng Ease m 16 4 1.48Ha 49 hydraulic engineers 1 8 16 Area to be confirmed by 1 6 6 1 6 1 6 2 0 TARNE I T 12 R E GI ONA L R E GI O 1 6 1 6 12 1 6 P R OP O S E P D R O P OS E D A3 esl oe B oul evar d Proposed connection to Leakes Road (configuration to be determined) 25 50 L E AK E SR OA DE L A KES R OAD WI DE NI NG Proposed connection to Leakes Road (configuration to be determined) 0 5 50 DOHER T YS RO ADLoop road 5m wide Tree Reserve PRECINCT 1 - PROPOSED PLAN OF SUBDIVISION SCALE 1:2500 0 R OAD 12 DOHER T YS RO AD R OADW I DE NI NG 125m AMEX TARNEIT NORTH - Lot 1 PS701127 PROJ./DRG.NO. 0312-0076-00-UD REV. 07 DRAWN DG APP'D.
