SITE ANALYSIS Introduction

2.1 Site Analysis

p 2-2Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan

SITE ANALYSISINTRODUCTION

A site analysis establishes the context of a proposed development by showing graphically the constraints and opportunities on the site, its immediate locality and the wider environment, and includes both natural and built elements.

The site analysis will influence how the design optimises site attributes and complements neighbourhood character whilst preserving the amenity of adjoining developments. A good site analysis is therefore essential in achieving a sustainable, responsive and sensitive development.

1 Development applications are to contain a site analysis that includes:

i) a sketch/diagrammatic plan with a legend; and

ii) a written component.

The amount of information in a site analysis will depend on the size and scale of the proposal, the site locality, complexity, nature and context.

2 The site plan and statement of environmental effects for the development application is to show how the proposed development responds to the site analysis.

3 The site analysis is to contain information on the subject site and surrounding areas as follows:

i) Site Description – Written description of streetscape and itspredominant elements.

ii) Standard of Documentation – All information required inCouncil’s DA Guide, Appendix 1 – Standard of Documentation.

Note: Photos may be required.

iii) Additional information – Any other information that may affectthe proposed development or that identifies effects that thedevelopment might have on the site and surrounds.

iv) A plan of the site showing dimensions, streets and adjoining sitesis required to an appropriate scale (usually either 1:100 or 1:200).A simple example is provided at Figure 2.1-1. For more complexdevelopments, the site analysis will require a series of plans orsketches and photographic analysis. A sample of some elementsis provided at Figure 2.1-2.

Site characteristics within the subject site

4 The site analysis plan is to include, but not be limited to, the following characteristics as appropriate:

i) Orientation & Climate – Scale, north point (magnetic north andtrue north), and prevailing wind direction(s) shown by arrows.

ii) Topography & Drainage – Contours of 0.5m intervals, spotlevels if available, slope gradients, runoff (upstream and

2.1 SITE ANALYSIS

Objectives

1 To identify the existing characteristics of the subject site and the surrounding area.

2 To encourage good site planning and landscape outcomes, informed by an understanding of the site and its context.

3 To identify the natural, environmental, cultural and historical values of the subject site and surrounds to be protected.

4 To ensure that proposed development is compatible with the existing or desired future character of the area.

5 To consider the amenity of users of the subject site and the locality.

6 To ensure that sustainability and potential risk to life and property are considered at an early stage in the design process.

7 To ensure that potential zone interface impacts are recognised and addressed in a proposal.

8 To ensure that the design response is well founded and responsive to site context.

- Existing contour conditions display low lying levels across the Village Green and extend to the east of site. Existing contour information will assist in predicting directions of rainfall runoff and locations for water collection and treatment.- Fz1 & Fz2 are identified as places of inundation during times of high rainfall. There is the possibility to extend catchment area of these affected regions. Excess runoff could then be stored, harvested onsite and used for landscape treatment and maintenance of Village Green and surrounding green spaces within Ku-ring-gai Council.

- Existing Pedestrian Crossing at Village Green Parade is well utilised and effectively located opposite existing Skate Facility and Village Green entry.- Footpath along Village Green Parade, Memorial Avenue, Killeaton St & Cowan Rd is narrow and close to road. Possibility to widen footpath and provide wide nature strip buffer’s between traffic and pathways. - Existing paved pedestrian paths link recreation facilities effectively yet do not extend to William Cowan Oval or to St Ives Bowls & Recreation Club precinct. Consider a park-wide pedestrian network linking all active areas. - No formal pedestrian crossing or entry points from Memorial Avenue, Killeaton St or Cowan Rd into the Village Green. Consider a formal pedestrian crossing and entry into reserve to promote safer access.

- Existing designated cycle network is limited. Possibility to extend network and integrate with existing road carriageways. - Site is well serviced by existing metropolitan bus routes which operate daily.- Bus stop are located at regular intervals along designated routes. - Village Green site is within 3km of several railway stations along the North Shore Line. Connections from this line may access other metropolitan and regional NSW services such as: Western Line, Northern Line, Newcastle Line & Central Coast Line.

- Residential regions surround Village Green precinct.- Several small pockets of open space are located amongst residential areas. The Village Green remains an isolated example of large public open space within the Ku-ring-gai Council area. - Retail outlets provide services to the surrounding residential communities. - Area is well serviced by schools which are located amongst residential zones. Schools services range from early childhood development - primary school - through to secondary school facilities. Educational facilities within the area are a mix of private and public.

- Existing car parking is located for retail & recreation purposes. Locations of car parking hubs are situated at St Ives Shopping Centre, St Ives Bowls & Recreation Club, Pymble Gold Club entrance & at smaller scale retail centres. Little onsite parking is available for Village Green users. Possibility to extend available on-street parking following further community consultation. - All major intersections are controlled with traffic lights- Site is easily accessible by vehicles as is surrounded by heavily used arterial, sub arterial, collector and local roads.

- Protect and enhance existing Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest (STIF). Forest is well established and the existing vegetation cluster is an important example of the endangered ecological community. -Possibility to extend existing STIF to link with other clusters of like endangered vegetation. Increasing planting will assist in ensuring species numbers increaseand promote flora & fauna bio-diversity within the region. - Opportunity to extend planting of Blue Gum High Forest to provide a corridor of significant native bio-diveristy.

- Existing contour conditions display low lying levels across the Village Green and extend to the east of site. Existing contour information will assist in predicting directions of rainfall runoff and locations for water collection and treatment.- Fz1 & Fz2 are identified as places of inundation during times of high rainfall. There is the possibility to extend catchment area of these affected regions. Excess runoff could then be stored, harvested onsite and used for landscape treatment and maintenance of Village Green and surrounding green spaces within Ku-ring-gai Council.

- Existing Pedestrian Crossing at Village Green Parade is well utilised and effectively located opposite existing Skate Facility and Village Green entry.- Footpath along Village Green Parade, Memorial Avenue, Killeaton St & Cowan Rd is narrow and close to road. Possibility to widen footpath and provide wide nature strip buffer’s between traffic and pathways. - Existing paved pedestrian paths link recreation facilities effectively yet do not extend to William Cowan Oval or to St Ives Bowls & Recreation Club precinct. Consider a park-wide pedestrian network linking all active areas. - No formal pedestrian crossing or entry points from Memorial Avenue, Killeaton St or Cowan Rd into the Village Green. Consider a formal pedestrian crossing and entry into reserve to promote safer access.

- Existing designated cycle network is limited. Possibility to extend network and integrate with existing road carriageways. - Site is well serviced by existing metropolitan bus routes which operate daily.- Bus stop are located at regular intervals along designated routes. - Village Green site is within 3km of several railway stations along the North Shore Line. Connections from this line may access other metropolitan and regional NSW services such as: Western Line, Northern Line, Newcastle Line & Central Coast Line.

- Residential regions surround Village Green precinct.- Several small pockets of open space are located amongst residential areas. The Village Green remains an isolated example of large public open space within the Ku-ring-gai Council area. - Retail outlets provide services to the surrounding residential communities. - Area is well serviced by schools which are located amongst residential zones. Schools services range from early childhood development - primary school - through to secondary school facilities. Educational facilities within the area are a mix of private and public.

- Existing car parking is located for retail & recreation purposes. Locations of car parking hubs are situated at St Ives Shopping Centre, St Ives Bowls & Recreation Club, Pymble Gold Club entrance & at smaller scale retail centres. Little onsite parking is available for Village Green users. Possibility to extend available on-street parking following further community consultation. - All major intersections are controlled with traffic lights- Site is easily accessible by vehicles as is surrounded by heavily used arterial, sub arterial, collector and local roads.

- Protect and enhance existing Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest (STIF). Forest is well established and the existing vegetation cluster is an important example of the endangered ecological community. -Possibility to extend existing STIF to link with other clusters of like endangered vegetation. Increasing planting will assist in ensuring species numbers increaseand promote flora & fauna bio-diversity within the region. - Opportunity to extend planting of Blue Gum High Forest to provide a corridor of significant native bio-diveristy.
