Amendments

A suite of planning scheme amendments have been prepared to further the implementation of the objectives contained in the Doncaster Hill Strategy.

They are:

AMENDMENT C76

Council has prepared amendment C76 to the Manningham Planning Scheme. The amendment proposes to rezone Council owned land (600A Doncaster Road, 2 Elgar Court, 101 Tram Road) and privately owned land (3 Elgar Court and part of Elgar Court - road, Doncaster) to a Comprehensive Development Zone (CDZ1). This Zone encourages a mix of uses including high density residential development and a variety of retail, commercial, social, community and entertainment uses.

The subject area is situated on a prime arterial intersection in Doncaster Hill bounded by Doncaster, Elgar and Tram Roads in Doncaster. It is identified as a gateway location in the Doncaster Hill Strategy (October 2002 - revised October 2004), thus providing a prime development site in the Doncaster Hill Activity Centre.

Amendment C76 is required to facilitate a land rationalisation and consolidation of the subject properties to fulfil the objectives of the Doncaster Hill Strategy (October 2002 – revised October 2004.

The amendment implements one of the recommendations made in the report from the Priority Development Panel (December 2007). The Panel reviewed the extent of the Comprehensive Development Zone (CDZ1) within the Activity Centre and recommended that it be extended to include the subject land (as well as other locations).

The amendment was placed on exhibition for a period of one month, from 29 May 2008 to 30 June 2008.

AMENDMENT C72

Council has prepared amendment C72 to the Manningham Planning Scheme. The amendment seeks the removal of the restrictive covenant from each of the following properties:

  • 16 Hepburn Road, Doncaster
  • 18 Hepburn Road, Doncaster
  • 20 Hepburn Road, Doncaster
  • 22 Hepburn Road, Doncaster
  • 24 Hepburn Road, Doncaster
  • 1 Short Street, Doncaster

All of these properties are located within the Doncaster Hill Activity Centre.

Each of the above lots (except 20 Hepburn Road) is subject to a restrictive covenant which allows only one dwelling on each lot and requires the dwellings on each lot to be constructed of specified materials. The restrictive covenant for 20 Hepburn Road contains a restrictive covenant which requires the use of specified materials.

Amendment C72 is a result of a recommendation of the Priority Development Panel Report (December 2007) to prepare and exhibit a planning scheme amendment to remove the restrictive covenants from the relevant properties to ensure that all land in the Doncaster Hill Activity Centre is development ready. This will then enable the subject properties to be developed in accordance with the objectives of the Doncaster Hill Strategy (October 2002 and revised October 2004) and the provisions of the Manningham Planning Scheme.

Amendment C72 was placed on exhibition from 17 April 2008 to 27 May 2008.

AMENDMENT C73

The Minister for Planning, The Honourable Justin Madden, has approved Amendment C73 to the Manningham Planning Scheme, which will assist Manningham Council to attract more investment to Doncaster Hill.

The amendment came into operation on 20 December 2007.

The Amendment modifies the existing Schedule 1 to the Comprehensive Development Zone which applies to part of the Doncaster Hill Activity Centre, by inserting a new expiry date of 31 December 2009 (refer to Amendment C45, which introduced the Comprehensive Development Zone and Schedule 1).

Amendment C73 also makes one minor change to the zone provisions by allowing for a mix of two rather than three uses on a site, with ‘residential’ still being required as the predominate use. The new interim controls will expire on 31 December 2009.

The Minister commended Council for its excellent work in preparing and implementing the Doncaster Hill Strategy.

“This minor change to the zone provisions is a small, yet significant step in fine-tuning the existing planning scheme controls to attract more investment to Doncaster Hill”, said Minister Madden.
