CASEY PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENT C181

EXPLANATORY REPORT Who is the planning authority?
This amendment has been prepared by the City of Casey, which is the planning authority for this amendment. The amendment has been made at the request of Renaissance Planning Pty Ltd on behalf of Casdar Pty Ltd.

Land affected by the amendment

The amendment applies to the land at 51-53 & 63-65 Heatherton Road, Endeavour Hills (Pt Lot J PS419224S & Lot 1 PS346040H).

What the amendment does

The amendment proposes to: rezone part of the land from Residential 1 Zone (R1Z) to Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z); amend the boundary of Development Plan-Overlay Schedule 16 (DPO16) over the land to match the corresponding development plan.

Strategic assessment of the amendment

Why is the amendment required?

The approved development plan under DPO16 is the Heatherton Road Mixed Use Precinct Development Plan; however, the boundary of DPO16 does not extend sufficiently to match the boundary of the development plan. As such, DPO16 needs to be extended to give full effect to the development plan. Additionally, the land needs to be rezoned to C1Z to facilitate the lodgement of planning permit applications in accordance with the development plan.

How does the amendment implement the objectives of planning in Victoria?

The amendment implements the objectives of planning in Victoria by addressing the following relevant objectives set out in Section 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (the Act): a) (c) (f) g) to provide for the fair, orderly, economic and sustainable use, and development of land; to secure a pleasant, efficient and safe working, living and recreational environment for all Victorians and visitors to Victoria; to facilitate development in accordance with the objectives set out in paragraphs (a)[and] (c).; to balance the present and future interests of all Victorians.

The amendment implements these objectives by releasing land for future commercial uses generally in accordance with the State and Local Planning Policy Frameworks of the Casey Planning Scheme, and with Melbourne 2030. The amendment provides for the

development of a Neighbourhood Activity Area (NAA) where an identified need exists, as articulated in Councils Activity Areas and Non-Residential Uses Strategy.

How does the amendment address the environmental effects and any relevant social and economic effects?
As the subject land is located within an established urban area, the amendment is not expected to create any environmental effects that could not be handled by permit conditions in any future planning permits issued for the land. The amendment is expected to have positive social and economic benefits for the City of Casey and the Endeavour Hills community. The amendment allows for the establishment of a NAA providing retail and convenience services, together with enhanced employment opportunities for the benefit of local residents.

Does the amendment address relevant bushfire risk?

The changes proposed by this amendment will have no impact in relation to bushfire risk.

Does the amendment comply with the requirements of any Ministers Direction applicable to the amendment?
Ministers Directions The amendment is consistent with the Ministerial Direction on the Form and Content of Planning Schemes under Section 7 of the Act. The use and development envisaged by the amendment are affected by the following Ministers Directions under Section 12 of the Act: Direction No. 9: Metropolitan Strategy Ministerial Direction No. 9 Metropolitan Strategy requires a planning authority, in preparing a planning scheme amendment, to have regard to Melbourne 2030 Planning for Sustainable Growth. The amendment is considered to be consistent with the following directions of Melbourne 2030:
Direction 1.1 build up activity centres as a focus for high quality development, activity

and living for the whole community.

Direction 1.2 broaden the base of activity in centres that are currently dominated by

shopping to include a wider range of services over longer hours, and restrict out-ofcentre development.
Direction 1.3 - locate a substantial proportion of new housing in or close to activity

centres and other strategic redevelopment sites that offer good access to services and transport.
Direction 5.1 - good urban design to make the environment more liveable and

attractive.
Direction 6.1 increased supply of well-located affordable housing. Direction 8.3 plan urban development to make jobs and community services more

accessible. Ministerial Direction No. 11 Strategic Assessment of Amendments is to ensure that a comprehensive strategic evaluation of the amendment and its outcomes are considered. The amendment complies with the requirements of this Ministerial Direction as set out in this explanatory report.

How does the amendment support or implement the State Planning Policy Framework?
The State Planning Policy Framework (SPPF) seeks to ensure that the objectives of planning in Victoria, as set out in the Act, are fostered through appropriate planning policies and practices that integrate relevant environmental, social and economic factors in the interests of net community benefit and sustainable development. The amendment is consistent with the SPPF. Relevant policies of the SPPF include: Clause 11.01-1 Activity centre network Clause 11.01-2 Activity centre planning Clause 11.02-3 Structure planning Clause 11.02-4 - Sequencing of Development Clause 15.01-1 Urban design Clause 15.02 Sustainable development Clause 17.01-1 Business The amendment is consistent with these policies by:
Providing business, shopping, working, leisure and community facilities, and higher

density housing in a designated, strategically planned, NAA that is connected to public transport (Clauses 11.01-1 and 11.01-2).
Releasing new land where services and infrastructure can be provided in a

strategically planned, co-ordinated and cost efficient sequence (Clauses 11.02-3 and 11.02-4).
Providing an attractive design that responds to the surrounding features and

landscape thereby improving quality of the living environment and working environments, and diversity and choice (Clause 15.01-1).
Consolidating urban development by rezoning under-utilised land for commercial and

residential development, and integration of land use and transport (Clause 15.02-1).
Locating a strategically planned NAA in an existing urban area to provide for the needs

of the local population (Clause 17.01-1).

How does the amendment support or implement the Local Planning Policy Framework?
The amendment is consistent with the Local Planning Policy Framework. The Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) divides the municipality into five regions, with the subject land being located within The Built-Up Area and shown on the Framework Plan forming part of Clause 21.03 as an Existing and committed urban area. Relevant policies of the Local Planning Policy Framework include:

Clause 21.05 The Built-Up Area Clause 21.09 Building New Communities Clause 21.11 Employment Clause 22.07 Retail Policy

The proposed is consistent with these policies by:

Providing local employment opportunities, optimising use of existing infrastructure,

facilitating opportunity for a wider range of housing types that appeal to a wider range of people and accommodate different age groups, and reducing car dependency (Clauses 21.05 and 21.09).
Expanding the number of employment opportunities in a planned activity centre that is

accessible to various modes of transport (Clause 21.11).

 Facilitating and consolidating a diversity of activity (retail, commercial, community and

housing) into a recognised and strategically planned activity centre (Clause 22.07). Activity Areas and Non-Residential Uses Strategy The Activities Areas and Non-Residential Uses Strategy seeks to provide a network of diverse, robust and accessible Activities Areas which meet the communities needs and expectations, and which form a vibrant and sustainable focus for community life. To help achieve this outcome the Strategy provides an activities areas hierarchy ranging from small local neighbourhood centres to Principle Activities Areas (Fountain Gate and Cranbourne Town Centre). The subject land is identified to be developed as a NAA in the Strategys activities areas hierarchy. The rezoning is required to facilitate development of the proposed NAA. Heatherton Road Mixed Use Precinct Development Plan The Heatherton Road Mixed Use Precinct Development Plan provides the vision and concept plan for the development of a NAA on the subject land. The proposed NAA includes a small supermarket, several specialty retailers, cafes, a gymnasium, some medium-density residential development, and a childcare centre. The proposed NAA will have a street-based design with a well-defined, pedestrian-focused core precinct. The rezoning is required to facilitate development of the proposed NAA.

Does the amendment make proper use of the Victoria Planning Provisions?
The use of a C1Z to facilitate the development of a NAA is consistent with the purpose of the zone under Clause 34.01 of the Casey Planning Scheme, which is to create vibrant mixed use commercial centres for retail, office, business, entertainment and community uses, and to provide for residential uses at densities complementary to the role and scale of the commercial centre.

How does the amendment address the views of any relevant agency?
Formal referrals to relevant agencies and departments would be undertaken in accordance with the statutory requirements as part of the exhibition of the amendment.

Does the amendment address relevant requirements of the Transport Integration Act 2010?
The amendment will not have a significant impact on the transport system, as defined by Section 3 of the Transport Integration Act 2010.

Resource and administrative costs

What impact will the new planning provisions have on the resource and administrative costs of the responsible authority?
