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.
Approved documentation for Amendment C76:
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.
