Kensington + Kingsford Town Centres Urban Design Report | January 2017 | 1
1.0 IntroductionAs part of the comprehensive planning review of the Kensington
and Kingsford Town Centres, Randwick City Council commissioned
Conybeare Morrison (CM+) to assist council in the preparation of
new planning controls, to ensure the planning framework is up to
date and meets future demand. The Planning Strategy will inform
changes to the Randwick Local Environmental Plan 2012 (RLEP
2012) and Randwick Development Control Plan 2013
(RDCP 2013).
The re-introduction of Light Rail infrastructure to Anzac Parade is
transformative. This new ‘driver’ for redevelopment and for increase
in density around Light Rail stations, is being further ‘charged’
by the current boom taking place in Sydney’s residential market.
The built form controls will carefully manage this growth, for the
benefi t of the communities that will live, work, study, eat, shop and
socialise at Kensington and Kingsford.
Signifi cant destinations surrounding the Town Centres include
NIDA, UNSW, Prince of Wales (POW) Hospitals Campus,
Randwick Racecourse and Centennial/Moore Parks and golf
courses. The locality is vibrant, multicultural and connected with
many opportunities for creative and innovative hubs, well designed
buildings, improved public spaces, greening of streets and
pedestrian connections.
The UNSW, and further east the signifi cant hospitals precinct,
including POW, POW Private, Royal Hospital for Women and
Sydney Children’s Hospital form the Randwick Education and
Health Strategic Centre. The 38 hectares university campus caters
for more than 53,000 students and 6,000 administrative staff,
and signifi cant new and refurbished student accommodation has
recently been completed, with several new colleges along High
Street. University Mall - the main pedestrian ‘spine’ of the campus,
extends from Anzac Parade to the heart of the campus.
The proximity of the signifi cant university and hospitals precinct
offers a range of opportunities for the town centres to provide
complementary services including affordable accommodation and
innovative ‘start-up’ commercial space, to support the scientifi c
research being undertaken on campus. The Town Centres also
provide an important urban setting for meeting and socialising.
This urban design report reviews existing controls and built
form characteristics, considers a vision for each town centre,
incorporates built form options and provides recommendations in
relation to built form, setbacks, active frontages, accessibility, public
realm, open space/landscaping. At the three key nodes (Todman
Square, Kingsford Midtown and Kingsford Junction), more detailed
controls are recommended to enable the creation of distinct
character and a ‘sense of place’.

• O’Dea’s Corner
Conservation AreasConservation areas are located to the East and immediately West
of Kensington (not in the study area), and to immediately south of
the Kingsford - Daceyville Gardens residential estate.
DCP 2013
Section D1(Kensington Town Centre) and D2(Kingsford Town
Centre) outline detailed planning and design controls to supplement
the RLEP aimed at achieving high quality built form, and design and
to promote the economic opportunities within the Town Centres.
Contributory BuildingsThroughout the two study areas are a series of buildings assessed
to have ‘contributory’ status - their essential urban and streetscape
qualities should be incorporated within any new development of
these sites.

Kensington + Kingsford Town Centres Urban Design Report | January 2017 | 7
2.0 Current Town Centre Controls2.5 Flood Risks
Flooding follows the drainage path from Centennial Park,
downstream through to Kensington and Kingsford and further
south to Eastlakes Ponds and Botany Bay.
The study area has limited drainage capacity and drainage
exceedance is relatively common during storms. Particular areas
of fl ooding occur at Doncaster Avenue, Kensington, Day Lane,
Kingsford (Kensington Park) and parts of Anzac Parade.
Current light rail works include raising the height of the dam
in Centennial Park to the North, will reduce fl ooding effects
downstream - particularly in Kensington.
Randwick LEP 2012 (cl. 6.3 Flood Planning) requires consideration
of fl ooding impacts for the development on land that is fl ood
affected.
Randwick DCP 2013 (B8 Water Management) contains more
detailed controls for water conservation, stormwater management,
groundwater and fl ooding with an overall focus on ‘Water Sensitive
Urban Design’.

3.0 Urban Design Analysis3.1 Open Space
The following public and private open spaces are situated within
the walking catchment of the Town Centres:
Public Open Spaces
• Kokoda Memorial Park
• Kensington Park
• Paine Reserve
• Daceyville Gardens
• Centennial Parklands
Private Open Spaces
• Randwick Racecourse
• Australian Golf Club
• Eastlake Golf Club
• UNSW Campus
Whilst the town centres have access to some open spaces -
large and medium sized parks and gardens, there is a lack of
smaller pocket parks/spaces that link to larger parks, such as
pocket plazas, town squares and more generous footpath areas.
These spaces will contribute to a sense of place and liveability for
residents, visitors and workers within, and around, the Centres.

3.0 Urban Design Analysis3.2 Public Transport
Light RailThe Kingsford Precinct Light Rail Corridor will be a shared bus
and light rail corridor along Anzac Parade, extending from Moore
Park to the Kingsford Terminus. This corridor will provide improved
access to public transport, Sydney CBD, and will provide a catalyst
for upgrading the public domain.
The Light Rail route includes the following stops:
• Carlton Street Stop
• Todman Avenue Stop
• UNSW Anzac Parade Stop
• Strachan Street Stop
• Kingsford Terminus
BusKensington and Kingsford are well serviced by buses with a
number of routes to, or from the CBD, Leichhardt and Wolli Creek,
Bondi Junction, Coogee, Maroubra Junction, Eastgardens and
Sydney Airport.
The current bus network is being reviewed by Transport for NSW to
provide a well-integrated and coordinated public transport system
in response to introduction of the Light Rail and in particular,
integration with the new interchange and terminus at Kingsford.

3.0 Urban Design Analysis3.3 View Analysis
The relatively fl at topography limits district views and vistas,
compared to other centres with in the Randwick LGA.
There are, however, important streetscape views at major
intersections and at curves in Anzac Parade. Side street views
are important, connecting the Anzac Parade Boulevard with
communities, parks and other activities to the East and West of the
Town Centres.

3.0 Urban Design Analysis3.5 Existing Built Form
The proposed urban design and development controls build upon
the existing principles set out in the current DCP. Randwick’s
Comprehensive DCP 2013, for Kensington Town Centre states
that:
Proposed building heights for the Centre acknowledge that
Anzac Parade can visually support slightly taller buildings along
the main street, with a visual transition to lower heights ‘behind’
the main street. Generally, this means that the maximum height of
any building along Anzac Parade will be 4 storeys setting back to 6
storeys, [...].
The proposed urban design continues these built form principles
for both Kingsford and Kensington Town Centres along Anzac
Parade and into surrounding streets. A four storey podium/street
wall is continued along Anzac Parade and major side streets, with
higher built form elements permitted to nine storeys and 17 or 18
storeys at key nodes.

4.0 Urban Design Vision + Principles4.1 Vision - Kensington Town Centre
Kensington is a vibrant multicultural town centre situated along a rejuvenated Anzac Parade boulevard and public domain, capitalising on its proximity to Randwick Racecourse, UNSW and new accessibility to Sydney CBD via the Light Rail. This highly sustainable centre sets a new standard within the Randwick LGA for ESD targets, WSUD practices and generous footpaths.
Kensington offers a vibrant, city apartment lifestyle, supported by high quality social and community infrastructure, including affordable and student housing. It draws on its rich multicultural roots to form a focus of restaurants and shopping, attracting visitors from across Sydney.
The integrity of existing heritage and contributory buildings is respected and integrated with the best contemporary architecture, to enhance the character and layering of the town centre experience. In collaboration with UNSW, innovative business start-ups will support a vital community of entrepreneurs, delivering new and innovative ideas.

4.0 Urban Design Vision + Principles4.2 Vision - Kingsford Town Centre
Kingsford is a vibrant multicultural town centre with a rejuvenated public domain situated along Anzac Parade and centred on Kingsford Junction, through a network of pedestrian priority laneways. It capitalises on its proximity to NIDA, UNSW and new accessibility to Sydney CBD via the Light Rail. The highly sustainable centre will set a new standard within the Randwick LGA for ESD targets, WSUD practices and generous footpaths.
Kingsford offers a bustling and exciting city lifestyle and nightlife supported by high quality social and community infrastructure, that incorporates a mix of apartments, laneway mews, as well as affordable and student housing. It draws on its rich cultural heritage to provide an interesting and diverse selection of restaurants, cafes and retail shopping.
The integrity of existing heritage and contributory buildings and the adjacent Daceyville Gardens estate is respected and integrated through high quality urban design. Innovative business start-ups are encouraged, to provide a ‘bridge’ between research and business.

4.0 Urban Design Vision + Principles4.3 Principles
• Generally focus density along the Anzac Parade spine and at
Kingsford Junction.
• Permit taller residential tower buildings at key nodes.
• Reinforce the four storey street wall of Anzac Parade.
• Seek opportunities to create new public domain in side streets,
with new, or upgraded street closures, footpath widenings/
setbacks and micro plazas.
• Avoid overshadowing parks and key places in the public
domain between 12 noon to 2 pm in winter.
• Encourage active frontages along Anzac Parade, continuing
down side streets.
• Encourage variety in the apartment mix – including a
component of student accommodation and affordable housing.
• Encourage innovative business start-ups that translate cutting
edge research into real world business success.

4.0 Urban Design Vision + Principles4.4 Built Form Strategy
The following urban design principles defi ne the strategy for the two
Town Centres:
• New consolidated development sites – minimum frontage to be
20 metres, corner sites must be greater than 900m2.
• Residential towers are permitted at key nodes within the
Centres, including Kingsford Junction.
• Generally towers may be 16 storeys, or 18 storeys if a Design
Excellence process is followed.
• At Kingsford Junction: 15 storeys, or 17 storeys is allowed if a
Design Excellence process is followed.
• New development must reinforce the four storey street wall.
• The ground fl oor of new development must be setback
1.5 metres to 2.5 metres from the Anzac Parade property
boundary, to create a wide footpath and allow tree planting at
the kerb line.
• Level fi ve of new development and above must be setback four
metres from street wall.
• The maximum tower footprint is to be 600m2
(approximately six units)
• Development must comply with the Apartment Design Guide
(ADG) regarding building-to-building setback.
• Development must minimise overshadowing of key public
places at the winter solstice, between 12 noon to 2 pm.
• City blocks are to maximise permeability and a fi ner grain
pedestrian network.
• Development must provide active frontages to Anzac Parade
and cross streets.
• Traffi c and parking criteria must be satisfi ed.
• Wind assessment must be undertaken and mitigation impacts
detailed.
• Rear laneways are to be a maximum of four storeys, then
setback four metres to level fi ve.

5.0 Town Centre Planning Options5.1 Urban Development Options
Three development options were investigated. Constrained
sites are scattered throughout the Town Centres and this results
in the remainder being Opportunity Sites for potential future
redevelopment. Different densities and Built Form were tested:
• Option 1 - Taller Built Form in a 200 metre Radius
- Maximises number of towers along spine.
• Option 2 - Taller Built Form in a 100 metre Radius
- Focuses towers at Light Rail Stops
• Option 3 - Reinforce Spine/Taller Built Form at
Kingsford Junction
- Homogeneous increase in density along spine; towers at
Kingsford Junction.
The options created different opportunities for public spaces
- laneways, plazas and footpath widening have been tested in
relation to the built form. The future capacity of the Town Centres
was not signifi cantly different compared to the total capacity, and
the target set-out by Randwick City Council has been met in each
option.
