2 CASEY FIELDS SOUTH PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN

1.0 INTRODUCTIONThe Casey Fields South Residential Precinct Structure Plan (the PSP) has been prepared by the Metropolitan Planning Authority (MPA) with the assistance of the Casey City Council, Government agencies, service authorities and major stakeholders.

The PSP is a long-term plan for urban development. It describes how the land is expected to be developed, and how and where services are planned to support development.

The PSP:

• Sets out plans to guide the delivery of quality urban environments in accordance with the Victorian Government guidelines.

• Enables the transition of non-urban land to urban land.

• Sets the vision for how the land should be developed and the outcomes to be achieved.

•Outlines the projects required to ensure that future residents, visitors and workers within the area can be provided with timely access to services and transport necessary to support a quality and affordable lifestyle.

• Sets out objectives, requirements and guidelines for land use, development and subdivision.

• Provides Government agencies, the Council, developers, investors and local communities with certainty about future development.

•Addresses the requirements of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 in accordance with the endorsed program and the relevant action approval for Melbourne’s growth corridors under Part 10 of that Act.

The PSP is informed by:

• The State Planning Policy Framework set out in the Casey Planning Scheme; and

• The Growth Corridor Plans: Managing Melbourne’s Growth (Growth Areas Authority, June 2012); and

• The Local Planning Policy Framework of the Casey Planning Scheme; and

• The Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Sub Regional Species Strategies for Melbourne’s Growth Areas (Department of Environment and Primary Industries 2013); and

• The Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines (GAA, 2009); and

• Background studies undertaken in the preparation of the PSP.

The following planning documents have been developed in parallel with the PSP to inform and direct the future planning and development of the Precinct:

• The Clyde Development Contributions Plan (DCP) requires development proponents to make a contribution toward infrastructure required to support the development of the Precinct.

• The Casey Fields South Residential Background Report (Background Report).

1.1 How to read this documentThis Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) guides land use and development where a planning permit is required under the Urban Growth Zone (Clause 37.07 of the Casey Planning Scheme), or any other provision of the planning scheme that references this structure plan.

A planning application and a planning permit must implement the outcomes of the PSP.

Each element of the PSP contains requirements, guidelines and conditions as relevant.

Requirements must be adhered to in developing the land. Where they are not demonstrated in a permit application, requirements will usually be included as a condition on a planning permit whether or not they take the same wording as in this structure plan. A requirement may reference a plan, table or figure in the structure plan.

Guidelines express how discretion will be exercised by the responsible authority in certain matters that require a planning permit. If the responsible authority is satisfied that an application for an alternative to a guideline implements the outcomes the responsible authority may consider the alternative. A guideline may include or reference a plan, table or figure in the PSP.

0 300m20010050



Conditions must be included in a planning permit.

Meeting these requirements, guidelines and conditions will implement the outcomes of the PSP.

Development must also comply with other Acts and approvals where relevant e.g. the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in the case of biodiversity or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 in the case of cultural heritage, amongst others.

Not every aspect of the land’s use, development or subdivision is addressed in this structure plan. A responsible authority may manage development and issue permits as relevant under its general discretion.

1.2 Land to which this PSP appliesThe CaseyFieldsSouthResidentialPSP 1057.1 adjoins PSP 1054 to the west, and comprises that part of Precinct 1057 north of Ballarto Road. It occupies an area of approximately 110 ha in the City of Casey. The precinct extends from Clyde-Five Ways Road in the east to Casey Fields Boulevard in the west; and north from Ballarto Road to the southern boundary of Casey Fields Sportsgrounds in the north. PSP 57.1 has a Net Developable Area (NDA) of approximately 91 hectares.

Plan 1 identifies the key features of the land contained within the precinct boundaries.

1.3 Development Contributions PlanDevelopment proponents within the Casey Fields South Residential Precincts will be bound by the Clyde Development Contributions Plan (the DCP). The DCP sets out requirements for infrastructure funding across this and two other precincts.

The DCP is a separate document incorporated in the Casey Planning Scheme.

1.4 Background InformationDetailed background information on the precincts is available including their local and metropolitan context, history, biodiversity, landform and topography, open space and community facilities. This information is summarized in the Casey Fields South PSP 1057.1 Background Report and has informed the preparation of the PSP.

2.0 OUTCOMES

2.1 VisionCaseyFieldsSouthResidentialPrecinct occupies an area of approximately 110 ha in the City of Casey. The precinct extends from Clyde-Five Ways Road in the east to Casey Fields Boulevard in the west; and to the southern boundary of Casey Fields Sportsgrounds in the north.

The Casey Fields South PSP is predominantly residential, with a local convenience centre planned for Ballarto Road, and will ultimately support a residential community of approximately 1460 dwellings and a population of around 4,100 people.

The precinct will provide an urbanised link between existing development to the west of Casey Fields Boulevard, and proposed new residential areas to the east of Clyde-Five Ways Road.

Casey Fields South PSP will be a community well connected to regional playing fields, building units close proximity to the existing Clyde Township and the Ballarto Road major town centre, and the potential future Clyde Railway Station. The topography of the PSP area provides for attractive views and vistas.

2.2 ObjectivesThe following objectives describe the desired outcomes of the precinct’s development, and guide the implementation of the vision.

IMAGE.CHARACTER,HERITAGEANDHOUSING

O1 Achieve a diversity of streetscape and open space outcomes to enhance local character and amenity, establishing a landscape of connecting canopies along streets, parks and waterways.

O2 Deliver a minimum of 1460 new homes (16 dwellings net developable hectare overall precinct average).

O3 Identify areas of European and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage elements within the precinct.

O4 Ensure medium and high density development is prioritised in locations proximate to high amenity and/or high activity areas.

O5 Promote housing choice through the delivery of a range of lot sizes capable of accommodating a variety of dwelling types.

TOWNCENTRES&EMPLOYMENT

O6 Encourage the provision of local convenience retail without compromising the functions and roles of nearby town centres.

OPENSPACE&COMMUNITYFACILITIES

O7 Deliver an integrated and linked network of local passive parks, active recreation reserves, and community infrastructure that meets the needs and aspirations of the new community.

BIODIVERSITY,THREATENEDSPECIES&BUSHFIREMANAGEMENT

O8 Plan for the long-term conservation and enhancement of areas of biodiversity.

O9 Ensure that bushfire protection measures are considered in the layout and design of development and the local street network.

TRANSPORT&MOVEMENT

O10 Provide strong external connections to the surrounding road network to foster accessibility of the precinct.

O11 Develop a slow-speed and permeable connector road network.

INTEGRATEDWATERMANAGEMENT&UTILITIES

O12 Deliver an integrated water management system that reduces reliance on reticulated potable water, increases the re-use of alternative water, minimises flood risk, ensures waterway health, and contributes towards a sustainable and green urban environment.

PRECINCTINFRASTRUCTUREPLAN&STAGING

O13 Ensure pre-development property structure does not impede the realisation of cohesive and integrated neighbourhoods.

O14 Ensure that development staging is co-ordinated with the delivery of key local and state infrastructure.

2.3 Summary land budgetThe Net Developable Area (NDA) is calculated by deducting the land requirements for major roads, servicing, community facilities and open space from the overall Precinct area. The estimated NDA for the precinct is 91 hectares representing approximately 82% of the PSP area.

State Planning Policy currently aims to achieve a minimum of 15 dwellings per hectare of NDA. This PSP is expected to exceed the minimum dwelling density and yield delivering approximately 1,460 dwellings with an average density of 16 dwellings per hectare of NDA.

An average household size of 2.8 persons for conventional density housing (based on Victoria in Future 2012) is used to estimate the future population of the PSP area. On this basis the future population of the PSP is estimated to be approximately 4,100 residents.

The table below sets out the land area and summary lot yield for various uses in the future urban structure.

3.5.3 Road Network

REQUIREMENTS

R32

The connector road network must:

• Provide for slow speed and permeable links.

• Connect across arterial roads and traverses through the core of each square mile.

• Facilitate efficient and direct pedestrian, cyclist, bus and vehicle movement.

• Efficiently link pedestrians and cyclists to jobs and the public transport system.

R33 Subdivision layouts must form a permeable street network that provides convenient access to local open space and allows for the effective integration with neighbouring properties.

R34

Approximately 30% of local streets (including connector streets) within a subdivision must apply an alternative cross section to the ‘standard’ cross section for these streets outlined in Appendix 4.4.

Examples of potential variations are provided in Appendix 4.4, however others are encouraged including but not limited to:

• Varied street tree placement;

• Varied footpath or carriageway placement;

• Introduction of elements to create a boulevard effect;

• Varied carriageway or parking bay pavement; and

• Differing tree outstand treatments.

For the purposes of this requirement, changes to street tree species between or within streets do not constitute a variation.

Alternative cross sections must ensure that:

• Minimum required carriageway dimensions are maintained to ensure safe and efficient operation of emergency vehicles on all streets as well as buses on connector streets.

• The performance characteristics of standard cross sections as they relate to pedestrian and cycle use are maintained.

• Relevant minimum road reserve widths for the type of street (illustrated in Appendix 4.4) are maintained, unless otherwise approved by the responsible authority.

R35

Where a single street spans across multiple properties that street may consist of multiple cross sections so long as a suitable transition has been allowed for between each. Where that street has already been constructed or approved for construction to a property boundary, the onus is on the development connecting into that street to adopt a consistent cross-section until that suitable transition can be made.

R36 Convenient and direct access to the connector road network must be provided through neighbouring properties where a property does not otherwise have access to the connector network or signalised access to the arterial road network, as appropriate.

R37 Vehicle access to lots fronting arterial roads must be provided from a service road, local internal loop road or rear lane only, to the satisfaction of the coordinating road authority.

R38 Configuration of vehicle access to lots from a public street must ensure that there is sufficient separation between crossovers to allow for a minimum of one on-street car park for every two residential lots.

R39 Vehicle access to a lot that is six metres or less in width must be via rear laneway, unless otherwise approved by the responsible authority.

GUIDELINES

G27 Street layouts should provide multiple convenient routes to major destinations such as the potential future Clyde railway station site and Ballarto Road major town centre and the arterial road network.

G28 Street block lengths should not exceed 240 metres to ensure a permeable and low speed environment for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles is achieved.

G29 Culs-de-sac should not detract from convenient pedestrian, cycle and vehicular connections.






G30 Slip lanes should be avoided in areas of high pedestrian activity and only be provided at any other intersection between connector roads and arterial roads where they are necessitated by high traffic volumes, to the satisfaction of the coordinating roads authority.

G31

The frequency of vehicular crossovers on widened verges (a verge in excess of six metres) should be minimised through the use of a combination of:

• Rear loaded lots with laneway access.

• Vehicular access from the side of a lot.

• Combined or grouped crossovers.

• Increased lot widths.

3.6 Integrated Water Management & Utilities

3.6.1 Integrated Water Management

REQUIREMENTS

R40 Consistent with Clause 56.01-2 and Clause 56.07 of the Casey Planning Scheme, VPP Practice Note 39, and any requirements or guidelines in this PSP, a subdivision of 60 or more lots must include an Integrated Water Management Plan.

R41 Development must meet or exceed best practice stormwater quality treatment standards prior to discharge to receiving waterways and as outlined on Plan 9, unless otherwise approved by Melbourne Water and the responsible authority.

R42 Final design and boundary of constructed waterways, waterway corridors, retarding basins, stormwater quality treatment infrastructure, and associated paths, boardwalks, bridges, and planting, must be to the satisfaction of Melbourne Water and the responsible authority.

R43

Development staging must provide for the delivery of ultimate waterway and drainage infrastructure, including stormwater quality treatment. Where this is not possible, development proposals must demonstrate how any interim solution adequately manages and treats stormwater generated from the development and how this will enable delivery of an ultimate drainage solution, all to the satisfaction of Melbourne Water and the responsible authority.

R44 Stormwater conveyance and treatment must be designed in accordance with the relevant Development Services Scheme to the satisfaction of Melbourne Water.

GUIDELINES

G32 The design and layout of roads, road reserves, and public open space should optimise water use efficiency and long-term viability of vegetation and public uses through the use of Water Sensitive Urban Design initiatives.

G33 Where practical, development should include integrated water management initiatives to diversify water supply, reduce reliance on potable water and increase the utilisation of storm and waste water contributing to a sustainable and green urban environment.

G34 Development should have regard to relevant policies and strategies being implemented by the responsible authority, Melbourne Water and South East Water, including any approved Integrated Water Management Plan.

G35 Where practical, integrated water management systems should be designed to:

• Maximise habitat values for local flora and fauna species.

• Enable future harvesting and/or treatment and re-use of stormwater, including those options or opportunities outlined in Plan 9.

G36

Where practical, and where primary waterway, conservation or recreation functions are not adversely affected, land required for integrated water management initiatives (such as stormwater harvesting, aquifer storage and recharge, sewer mining) should be incorporated within the precinct open space system as depicted on Plan 5, subject to the approval of the responsible authority.

3.6.2 Utilities

REQUIREMENTS

R45 Trunk services are to be placed along the general alignments shown on Plan 10, subject to any refinements as advised by the relevant service authorities.

R46

Before development commences on a property, functional layout plans are to be submitted of the road network showing the location of all:

• Underground services

• Driveways/crossovers

• Street lights

• Street trees

A typical cross section of each street is also to be submitted showing above and below ground placement of services, street lights and trees.

The plans and cross sections must demonstrate how services, driveways and street lights will be placed so as to achieve the road reserve width (consistent with the road cross sections outlined in this PSP) and accommodate the minimum level of street tree planting (as outlined in this PSP). If required, the plan and cross sections will nominate which services will be placed under footpaths or road pavement. The plans and cross sections are to be approved by the responsible authority and all relevant service authorities before development commences.

R47 Delivery of underground services must be coordinated, located, and bundled (utilising common trenching) to facilitate the planting of trees and other vegetation within road verges.

R48 All existing above ground electricity cables of less than 66kv voltage must be placed underground as part of the upgrade of existing roads.

R49 All new electricity supply infrastructure (excluding substations and cables of a voltage of 66kv or greater) must be provided underground.

R50 Where existing above ground electricity cables of 66kv voltage are retained along road ways, underground conduits are to be provided as part of the upgrade of these roads to allow for future undergrounding of the electricity supply.

R51

Above ground utilities must be identified at the subdivision design stage to ensure effective integration with the surrounding neighbourhood and to minimise amenity impacts, and be designed to the satisfaction of the relevant authority. Where that infrastructure is intended to be located in public open space, the land required to accommodate that infrastructure will not be counted as contributing to open space requirements classified under Clause 52.01 or within the Clyde Development Contributions Plan.

R52 Utilities must be placed outside any conservation areas shown on Plan 6. Utilities must be placed outside of natural waterway corridors or on the outer edges these corridors to avoid disturbance to existing native vegetation, significant landform features (e.g. rock outcrops) and heritage sites, to the satisfaction of Melbourne Water and the responsible authority.

GUIDELINES

G37 Above-ground utilities should be located outside of key view lines and screened with vegetation, as appropriate.

G38 Design and placement of underground services in new or upgraded streets should utilise the service placement guidelines outlined in Appendix 4.5.

G39 Utility easements to the rear of lots should only be provided where there is no practical alternative.

3.7 Infrastructure delivery & Staging

3.7.1 Precinct Infrastructure Plan

The Precinct Infrastructure Plan (PIP) at Appendix 4.1 (refer to Clyde DCP document) sets out the infrastructure and services required to meet the need of the proposed development within the precinct. The infrastructure items and and services are to be provided through a number of mechanisms including:

• Subdivision construction works by developers.

•Agreement under S173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

•Utility service provider requirements.

• The Clyde Development Contributions Plan, including separate chare areas for local items.

• Relevant development contributions from adjoining areas.

• Capital works projects by Council, State government agencies and non-government organizations.

•Works in Kind (WIK) projects undertaken by developers on behalf of Council or State government agencies.

3.7.2 Development Services Strategy

Drainage for the precinct is not covered by the Clyde Development Contributions Plan as the relevant authority for outfall drainage is Melbourne Water. Melbourne Water has prepared a Development Services Scheme (DSS) which applies to the precinct. Under the DSS developers are required to pay a levy for each developable hectare of land which is included in a planning permit application. The contribution will be used by Melbourne Water to cover the cost of constructing drainage assets provided for in the DSS and also land required for the drainage assets. Melbourne Water has advised that the DSS has been costed as follows:

• Civil works are based on engineering estimates of the costs of the various drainage works; and

•As a principle, land costs are based on the same land values as the Clyde Development Contributions Plan for consistency.

Like the Clyde Development Contributions Plan, the DSS is subject to indexation and adjustments. Civil works will be adjusted by the adjustment methodology explained in the DSS to keep pace with rising costs and land values will move in line (upwards or downwards) with movement in land values provided for in the Clyde Development Contributions Plan.

Alternative stormwater quality treatments may be provided subject to agreement with Melbourne Water and Council.



3.7.3 Development Staging

REQUIREMENTS

R53

Development staging must provide for the timely provision and delivery of:

• Arterial road reservations.

• Connector streets and connector street bridges.

• Street links between properties, constructed to the property boundary.

• Connection of the on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle network.

R54 Streets must be constructed to property boundaries where an inter-parcel connection is intended or indicated in the structure plan, by any date or stage of development required or approved by the responsible authority.

GUIDELINES

G40

Staging will be determined largely by the development proposals on land within the precinct and the availability of infrastructure services. Within this context, the following should be achieved:

• Development staging should, to the extent practicable, be integrated with adjoining developments, through the timely provision of connecting roads and walking/cycling paths.

• Where development does not directly adjoin the urban edge, local open space should be provided in early stages to provide new residents with amenity.

• Access to each new lot must be via a sealed road.

G41 The early delivery of active open space, community facilities, local parks and playgrounds is encouraged within each neighbourhood and may be delivered in stages.

3.7.4 Subdivision Works by Developers

REQUIREMENTS

R55

Subdivision of land within the precinct must provide and meet the total cost of delivering the

following infrastructure:

• Connector roads and local streets.

• Local bus stop infrastructure (where locations have been agreed in writing by Public Transport Victoria).

Active open space required to be set aside by the DCP must be vested in the relevant authority in the following condition:

• Free from surface / protruding rocks and structures.

• Reasonably graded and / or topsoiled to create a safe and regular surface (with a maximum 1:6 gradient).

• Bare, patchy and newly graded areas seeded, top-dressed with drought resistant grass.

R59

With respect to the public open space contribution required by Clause 52.01 of the Casey Planning Scheme, this provision sets out the amount of land to be contributed by each property in the precinct and consequently where a cash contribution is required in lieu of land.

All land owners must provide a public open space contribution equal to 4% of the Net Developable Area (Residential and Town Centres) (NDAR) upon subdivision of land in accordance with the following:

• Where land is required for unencumbered open space purposes as shown on Plan 3 and specified in Table 1 and is equal to 4% of NDAR that land is to be transferred to Council at no cost.

• Where no land or less than 4% of NDAR is shown on Plan 3 and specified in Table 1, as required for unencumbered open space purposes a cash contribution is to be made to Council to bring the total open space contribution to a value equal to 4% of NDAR of that site.

• Where land required for unencumbered open space purposes as shown on Plan 3 and specified in Table 1 is more than 4% of NDAR, Council will pay an amount equivalent to the value of the additional land being provided by that proposed development.

4.5 Service Placement Guidelines STANDARDROADCROSSSECTIONS

Figures 003 and 004 in the Engineering Design and Construction Manual for Subdivision in Growth Areas (April 2011) outline placement of services for a typical residential street environment. This approach is appropriate for the majority of the ‘standard’ road cross sections outlined in Appendix C containing grassed nature strips, footpaths and road pavements.

NON-STANDARDROADCROSSSECTIONS

To achieve greater diversity of streetscape outcomes in Melbourne’s growth areas, which enhances character and amenity of these new urban areas, non-standard road cross sections are required. Non-standard road cross sections will also be necessary to address local needs, such as fully sealed verges for high pedestrian traffic areas in town centres and opposite schools. This PSP contains suggested non-standard ‘variation’ road cross sections, however other non-standard outcomes are encouraged.

For non-standard road cross sections where service placement guidance outlined in Figure 003 and 004 in the Engineering Design and Construction Manual for Subdivision in Growth Areas (April 2011) is not applicable, the following service placement guidelines will apply.

NOTES 1 Trees are not to be placed directly over property service connections 2 Placement of services under road pavement is to be considered when service cannot be accommodated

elsewhere in road reserve. Placement of services beneath edge of road pavement/parking bays is preferable to within traffic lanes

3 Where allotment size/frontage width allows adequate room to access and work on a pipe 4 Where connections to properties are within a pit in the pedestrian pavement/footpath

GENERALPRINCIPLESFORSERVICEPLACEMENT

• Place gas and water on one side of road, electricity on the opposite side

• Place water supply on the high side of road

• Place services that need connection to adjacent properties closer to these properties

• Place trunk services further away from adjacent properties

• Place services that relate to the road carriageway (eg. drainage, street light electricity supply) closer to the road carriageway

•Maintain appropriate services clearances and overlap these clearances wherever possible

LINEARPARK

To provide pedestrian/cyclist links in a parkland setting.

A park that is developed and used for pedestrian and cyclist access, both recreational and commuter, between residential areas and key community destinations such as recreational facilities, schools and other community facilities, public transport and places of work. Linear Reserves are generally linear in nature and follow existing corridors such as water courses and roads. They usually contain paths or tracks (either formal or informal) that form part of a wider path/track network. While the primary function of Linear Reserve is pedestrian & cyclist access, these parks may serve additional purpose such as storm water conveyance, fauna movement and ecological/biodiversity protection.

TOWNSQUARE/URBANPARK

(Area equal to or less than 0.3ha or unless otherwise designated)

A passive recreation park providing opportunities for a variety of recreational and social activities in an urban setting. They are located predominantly in medium to high density residential area and mixed use centres or corridors. They provide an important role in meeting the passive recreation needs of residents, workers and visitors in activity centres and/or medium to high density residential areas.

Town squares are to be predominately hard landscaped, while urban parks have less hardstand than town squares, but more than traditional neighbourhood passive recreation parks. Urban parks also offer the opportunity for low key kick and throw activities a small turfed area.
