3.3.2 Element – Urban neighbourhoods

Photograph 3.3.2-1 Example of an urban neighbourhood which offers housing choices and high amenity located in Paradise Point. Photograph by John Mills.

3.3.2.1 Specific outcomes

All urban neighbourhoods

(1) Urban neighbourhoods are compact, well-designed and pedestrian-friendly, offer housing choice and high amenity and provide access to facilities, services, public transport, employment and essential infrastructure.

(2) Urban neighbourhoods are generally located on or near high frequency public transport corridors served by light rail or rapid bus.

Note: Some corridors have a specialised employment focus or are unsuited to intensive residential development, including general industry areas that front corridors served by light rail or rapid bus.

(3) Certain locations not within or near high frequency public transport corridors reflect long-term locations of low-medium, medium and high intensity density development and have the potential for increased public transport services.

(4) The intensity of development in urban neighbourhoods transitions between zones as follows; Urban neighbourhoods vary from pockets of detached housing on smaller lots to medium or higher-intensity places containing medium or high-rise buildings.

(a) the Low-medium density residential zone accommodates a range of lot sizes and dwellings types with low-medium building height, including traditional housing, small lot housing, dual occupancies, soho housing, townhouses, terrace housing and apartments;

(b) the Medium density residential zone accommodates a range of lot sizes and dwellings types, including townhouses, terrace housing and apartments; and

(c) the High density residential zone mostly accommodates apartments.

iSPOT:#68183758 Page 3 of 22

Figure <x>

Transition of development intensity in urban neighbourhoods.

(5) A range of residential dwelling types provides housing choice, diversity and options for all stages of life. Housing includes a mix of tenure, size and type to assist with affordability and location options, and to support occupants from various social and cultural backgrounds including key workers.

(6) Urban neighbourhoods have a public transport hub, community facility, park or mixed use centre, specialist centre or neighbourhood centre as their focal point.

(7) Streets are characterised by high-quality walking and cycling paths, street trees and local streets for shared car and bike use. A legible built form and network of interconnected thoroughfares make it easy to get around.

(8) The Building height overlay map shows the building height pattern and desired future appearance for local areas within urban neighbourhoods. This map also shows areas where building heights change abruptly to achieve a deliberate and distinct contrast in built form within and between low, medium or high-rise areas.

(9) Increases in building height up to a maximum of 50% above the Building height overlay map may occur in limited circumstances in urban neighbourhoods where all the following outcomes are satisfied:

(a) the development is not located within the Low-medium density residential zone;

(ba) a reinforced local identity and sense of place;

(cb) a well managed interface with, relationship to and impact on nearby development, including the reasonable amenity expectations of nearby residents;

(dc) a varied, ordered and interesting local skyline;

(ed) an excellent standard of appearance of the built form and street edge;

(fe) housing choice and affordability;

(gf) protection for important elements of local character or scenic amenity, including views from popular public outlooks to the city’s significant natural features;

(hg) deliberate and distinct built form contrast in locations where building heights change abruptly on the Building height overlay map; and

(ih) the safe, secure and efficient functioning of the Gold Coast Airport or other aeronautical facilities.

Note: Where the Building height overlay map shows both storeys and metres, the lesser of the two shall apply, and any fraction which results from the calculations shall be rounded down to the nearest floor or partial floor.

(10) Increases in building height, beyond 50% above the Building height overlay map, are not anticipated in urban neighbourhoods.

Note: No criteria have been identified for building heights which are more than 50% above the Building height overlay map, because such increases are in conflict with City Plan.

Note: Specific outcomes (9) and (10) do not apply to locations in urban neighbourhoods that are within the Low-medium residential zone.

(11) Increases in building height in urban neighbourhoods within the Low-medium density residential zone, above the Building height overlay map, are not anticipated, as these areas

iSPOT:#68183758 Page 4 of 22

have a deliberate planned low-medium building height.

(1211) Urban neighbourhoods are diverse and distinguished by a distinct appearance, identity and built form in each neighbourhood.

(1312) Supplies of undeveloped urban land within the Coomera Town Centre area accommodate a large percentage of the city’s planned population growth. These sites will develop as high quality new urban neighbourhoods that take advantage of their proximity to the Coomera principal centre.

Additional outcomes for the light rail urban renewal area

Figure 9 Example development – light rail urban renewal area.

(1413) The light rail urban renewal area exists within urban neighbourhoods.

(1514) The light rail urban renewal area provides a mix of small scale retail and commercial uses and activities; a mix of types and intensity of housing; and a safe and accessible street environment where pedestrians, cyclists and public transport take priority over private cars.

(1615) Building form interfaces with the street, creating strongly defined building edges and providing opportunities to engage with street life. Built form, uses that activate the street, tree planting and pedestrian facilities improve the comfort, environmental and visual quality of streetscapes.

(1716) Building form is characterised by:

(a) medium-rise buildings that have a perimeter form with buildings generally built to street edges, interspersed or ‘fractured' by public spaces, landscaped areas or pedestrian access ways (refer Figure 10a); and

(b) high-rise buildings with a clearly defined tower and podium form, where podiums are built to the street edge and may be interspersed or ‘fractured' by public spaces, landscaped areas or pedestrian access ways (refer Figure 10b).

iSPOT:#68183758 Page 5 of 22

Figure 10a Medium rise buildings that have a perimeter form with buildings generally built to street edges, interspersed or ‘fractured' by public spaces, landscaped areas or pedestrian access ways

Figure 10b High rise buildings with a clearly defined tower and podium form, where podiums are built to the street edge and may be interspersed or ‘fractured' by public spaces, landscaped areas or pedestrian access ways.

(1817) Building types and locations reinforce concentrations of activity and often protect local

iSPOT:#68183758 Page 6 of 22

appearance. Not all light rail urban renewal areas will accommodate high-rise buildings.

(1918) At public transport hubs in centres and in other mixed use areas, development supports a mix of uses and a high quality pedestrian environment.

(2019) Regardless of the built form typology, non-residential uses are concentrated at the street and lower levels of buildings, with a fine grain nature. Non-residential uses at street level are built to the street edge or front meeting places including squares, open spaces and urban parks.

(2120) Local character reflects a combination of built form and mix of uses, and is characterised by the following areas and their outcomes:

(a) ‘Primary focus areas’ encompass Southport, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, allowing for the highest concentrations of activity, commerce and intensity of buildings utilising tower and podium form;

(b) ‘Frame areas’ allow for a range of intense built form outcomes that distinguish the light rail urban renewal area. They allow for activity and commerce of a scale that services the local neighbourhood requirements and supports the light rail stations; and

(c) ‘Transition areas’ ensure the logical tapering of built form intensity and height for appropriate interface with adjacent lower intensity neighbourhoods and represent the end of the urban renewal area. These areas are purposely low to medium-rise to ensure a definitive shift in built form and the delivery of more affordable housing choices. They also offer a clear delineation and difference to the other ‘areas’ of the urban renewal area.

(2221) ‘Primary focus areas’ and ‘frame areas’ encourage innovative high-rise towers that advance the Gold Coast’s iconic skyline. These areas are free from a height designation. Appropriate height will be determined by design criteria and site context.

Note: Urban neighbourhoods are conceptually shown on strategic framework map 2.

Note: Urban neighbourhoods are locations included in the Low-medium density residential, Medium density residential and High density residential zones. Unless stated otherwise, Urban neighbourhoods may also include locations in other zones, such as the Neighbourhood centre and Community facilities zone depending on context.

Note: Urban neighbourhoods are not locations included in the Low density residential zone.

Note: The light rail urban renewal area is conceptually shown on strategic framework map 2 and identified on strategic framework map 3.

Note: Indicative access and mobility outcomes for the Coomera Town Centre area are identified on strategic framework map 8.
