RESPONSE

by:Save DimmeysSUMMARY

The Draft Swan Street Structure Plan. V2 (DSSSP) is to provide a strate-gic approach for managing future development on Swan Street and thesurrounding study area.

At its September 2011 meeting, Yarra Council deferred adoption of theplan so further discussions and work could be undertaken on it.

The revised Draft Structure Plan. V2 is worse than the DSSSP Version1. The DSSSP V2 Built Form Map is included at Page 15 of this RE-SPONSE document.

Of particular interest is the built form, (preferred maximum buildingheights and setback). The study area involved in this DSSSP. V2 is fromthe Yarra River up to the top of Richmond Hill, (St Ignatius) and fromPunt Road all the way to Loyola Grove. (Burnley Golf Course).

SAY NO to the Yarra Councillors, acting to force high-density develop-ment towers upon (Richmond / Cremorne / Burnley), and creating a de-facto Melbourne Central Business District, (CBD) extension.

SAY NO to the proposed 7-10 Storey Built Form Towers.

SAY NO to the High-Density Signature Building Towers (up to 20 Sto-reys, Yellow Stars on DSSSP V2 Map).

SAY NO to higher buildings along the Yarra River Corridor & Trans-port Corridors, (Punt Road & All Railway Lines)for High-Density Tow-ers.

SECTION2

Background

In September 2011 Save Dimmeys alerted residents about the

Draft Swan Street Structure Plan (DSSSP) Version 1 from Yarra

Council. Initially, the Council placed on public exhibition the Struc-

ture Plan with proposed built form building heights being 5-6 storeys

maximum except on a few designated sites.

We were pleased that with all your input and feedback to Yarra

Councillors, they elected to send it back to the drawing board

and delayed its adoption.

Version 2 of the Draft Swan Street Structure Plan (DSSSP) is now

in front of us, and regrettably it is far WORSE than the first! Yarra

Council has not taken the opportunity to remedy the deficiencies

in the Version 1 document. Nor has it addressed any concerns of

the submitters (residents). In fact it ignores everything raised bythe community.

DSSP V2. PUBLIC EXHIBITION - COUNCILLORS

As recently as 17 April, 2012, Yarra Council was under pressure and

again voted to put this ambiguous, incomplete and inconclusive Ver-

sion 2 document on exhibition, calling for public comment.The Councillors did not hear your response loud enough last

time.

Once again you have to get your fingers working.

Email, text, fax, phone and contact EVERY ONE OF THE SIX

COUNCILLORS* who voted for the Draft Swan Structure Plan.Version 2.

SECTION3

BackgroundContinued...

At the Yarra Council Meeting on 17 April 2012,

Six (6) Councillors *voted to endorse the Draft Swan St StructurePlan. V2, and place it on Public Exhibition.

ROLL CALL.

Councillor Dale Smedley (Apology & absent from Council Meet-ing).

Councillor Stephen Jolly & Councillor Anthony Main (OP-

POSED the Draft Swan St Structure Plan V2. Public Exhibi-

tion).

*Councillor Josh Funder (Moved) [Labor]

*Councillor Geoff Barber(Seconded) [Labor] Mayor

*Councillor Alison Clarke (Amendment) [Green]

*Councillor Amanda Stone (Amendment) [Green]

*Councillor Sam Gaylard (Seconded) [Green]

*Councillor Jackie Fristacky(Amendment) [Independent]

The SIX Councillors*will face the community on VOTING DAY,WHICH IS ONLY 165 DAYS AWAY, (Saturday October 27, 2012) .

The Councillors need to become our true representatives. They cannot

continue to act as defacto Council Officers and agents of the State De-

partment of Planning, serving to push a document which Ted Baillieu

(now Victorian Premier) said when he was Shadow Minister for Plan-

ning in 2004 Melbourne 2030 is a dud. The Government is adding

a new regime priority development zones , which will add newpowers that override Councils planning controls. We should be

very cautious about the way that Melbourne 2030 is proceeding

Structure Planning can be ignored. There have been activity cen-

tres that have been de-designated since by the Minister these deci-

sions are totally arbitrary. There is no way to appeal.

Dr Paul Mees, Senior Lecturer in University of Melbourne, Architec-

ture & Planning is also quoted in a report to Yarra Council on the 9 No-

vember 2004, talking at the Smith Street Bianco Redevelopment Pub-

lic Meeting stated: 85% of Activity Centres are Major Activity Cen-

tres like Smith Street. These are where large-scale redevelop-ment will occur. Arguably, there are no real criteria,they can be

de-designated and one Major Activity Centre has been de-

designated (BLACKBURN). .

THE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ACTIVITY CENTRES SAY NOTH-

ING ABOUT NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER, HERITAGE

ETC..The Draft Swan Street Structure Plan study area encom-

passes much more real estate than just properties fronting Swan

5


6/18

Street. One look at the Draft Swan Street

Structure Plan will reveal huge tracts of

land far more than encompassed in the

vision of Major Activity Centres in Mel-

bourne 2030. The area involved in this

monstrosity is from the Yarra River up to

the top of Richmond Hill, (St Ignatius)

and from Punt Road all the way to Loyola

Grove. (Burnley Golf Course).

Clearly, the Draft Swan Street Structure

Plan as now publicly exhibitedVersion2

isaimed at facilitating and encourag-

ing an influx of developers intent on

high-density sky-scraper tower con-

struction, which have little or no ar-

chitectural merit nor community

benefit.

The infrastructure and services importantto encouraging and maintaining increases

in population growth, (such as envisaged

by higher density hi-rise tower construc-

tion within the Draft Swan Street Struc-

ture Plan study area), has been consis-

tently and steadily eroded since the early

1980s, e.g. Child Care Centres, Maternal

Health, Kindergartens, Primary School

and Secondary Schools and Public meet-

ing Spaces and open green spaces / Play-

grounds.

These facilities have all been eroded to the

detriment of the local community, and are

not proposed to be replaced even with the

influx of 20,000 new residents proposed

for Richmond. Existing services such as

Post, Police and Fire and Digital Commu-

nications will be sorely stretched to even

contemplate adequate coverage for such

an increase in density.

Yarra Councillors live no-where near

the Swan Street Structure area.

DIMMEYSThe Draft Swan Street Structure Plan

Version 1 and 2 both affect the DIM-

MEYS site. (DIMMEYS Stages 1 & 2

and any further in-fill tower propos-

als).

In Version 1, the Council voted that the

Draft Swan Street Structure Plan on theSouth Side of Swan Street (DIMMEYS

side) was to be four (4) storeys maximum.

This was in September 2011.

Now, the new Version 2 of the Draft

Swan Street Structure Plan reveals

the DIMMEYS South Side of Swan

the DIMMEYS South Side of Swan

Street is proposed to increase the

maximum height to six (6) storeys.

What remains of the two-storey exist-ing DIMMEYS building after the new

Glass Tower is built? IT IS PROPOSED

TO BE ALLOWED SIX STOREYS ALL

ALONG THE SWAN STREET FRONT-AGE?

An increase of two storeys permittedafter only six months delay in adopting

this document. Any infill Tower be-

tween the DIMMEYS Glass Tower andTHE MURAL, COULD BE SIX OR

MORE STOREYS DEPENDING ON

THE WHIM OF HERITAGE VICTORIA,

YARRA COUNCIL AND OTHERS.

STAGE ONE Glass Tower already ap-proved for Ten Storeys on DIMMEYS.

STAGE TWO: 1-3 Railway Place (DIM-MEYS car park) proposal of 9 Storeys, cur-

rently in hand with Yarra Council.

STAGE THREE: Possible In-fill Tower onDIMMEYS directly behind the MURAL,

preferred 6 Storeys? Probably much

higher, given the previous two precedents

of Stage One and Stage Two.In discussion with Councillors in 2011,

about DSSSP Version 1 plans and draw-

ings, and built form heights being so am-

biguous, and at odds with Council pre-

ferred height limit, it was revealed that

Councillors understood we all know that

is just the starting point. We want a maxi-

mum of six storeys and the developers

6


7/18

say we start at six storeys, because its just not viable for anything

lower.

IMPORTANT NOTE

THE BUILDING HEIGHTS AND SETBACKS PLAN IS INTENDED TO

BE A GUIDE ONLY. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS WILL BE AS-

SESSED AGAINST THE SITES CONTEXT, RELEVANT OBJECTIVES

OF THE STRUCTURE PLAN, STATE POLICY AND COUNCILS PLAN-

NING SCHEME (Map on Page 42 of the Draft Swan Street Structure

Plan V2).

This means in plain English that if a developer, wanted higher build-

ings, they will most likely get it approved, as Yarra Council does not

have mandated or prescribed (fixed) height limits in place anywhere

in the planning scheme.

Neither version of the DSSSP makes any reference to sustain-

able development. Yet Yarra Council has promoted on 25 April

2012, about $30,000 funding for a new Yarra Environment Strat-

egy 2013-2017, which for the first time will include policieslinked to climate adaptation and peak oil, we believe:

that to NOT include environmental aspects in the DSSSP.

V2 is reprehensible, and is a major deficiency in the docu-

ment and it currently does not include any renewable energy

assessment, requirement and obligation for any multi-storey de-

velopment.

In 2012, it is unbelievable that this type of incomplete Strategic Plan-

ning development and construction policy document is even consid-

ered.

Any credible strategic document of this type MUST include a

minimum of the following requirements for any multi-storey

development:

! Rainwater harvesting and filtration for potable use within thebuilding.

! Grey water recycling possibly for use as toilet flushing, alongwith filtration and cleansing of the water for garden use.

! Solar panels on rooftops and also worlds best practice SolarPanel Films on windows.

! Evacuated tube panels to be installed as window awnings foruse in hot water service / hydronic heating as necessary.

! The use of atriums in the core of the multi-storey building toprovide both light and thermal cooling to the interior of the

structure.

8


9/18

! LED lighting throughout the building including stand aloneSolar Powered security lighting.

! Green wall gardens to any multi-storey concrete construction.! Wind turbine small power generation for hot air and stale air

extraction.

Insulation of both walls and floors. Heat Reflective Metalised

Glazing film on all windows.

! Hydronic building heating, possibly re-using sanitised greywater.

! Storm water discharged to be sanitized to provide subterra-nean cooling / heating modules.

Councillors, say they are environmentally aware, yet allow totally en-

vironmentally deficient documents to pass out for public exhibition.

Once again, it falls to the community to tell the Councillors just what

their policy documents (which will be in effect for at least 5-10 years)should contain.

WHAT IS NEEDED? ..

A better and holistic outcome, for a viable and endur-

ing community and more sustainable growth. This

can easily be achieved by incorporating and adopting

the following factors:

1. De-designation of Swan Street to be a NeighbourhoodActivity Centre instead of being a Major Activity Centre.

2. Reduction of the area covered under the DSSSP Studyto include only Swan Street frontage properties.

3.Yarra Council should abandon the Draft Swan StreetStructure Plan. V2 in its current form, as it needs to be

completely re-written to include sustainability / envi-

ronmental zoning / building height setback issues.

4.!Yarra Council should consult to ascertain how Black-burn has had re-designation of its activity centre.

5.! Existing Business 1 Zone (B1) properties which front SwanStreet, and immediate vicinity only should be covered by

DSSSP not anywhere else / other zones.

6.! Existing Business 3 Zone (B3) / Comprehensive Zone andMixed Use Zone should only be 5-6 Storeys maximum

height.

7. Spot Rezoning to allow higher built form builings should

NOT be allowed.

8. Yarra Council should maintain its existing MSS (Munici-pal Strategic Statement) Policy for built form heights of5-6 Storeys preferred maximum height.

9. Yarra Councils MSS (Municipal Strategic Statement)

should only allow 5-6 storeys, subject to satisfying envi-

ronmental / sustainability strategy requirements.

9


10/18

10. A maximum of six (6) Storeys anywhere other than Heri-

tage Overlay areas. Buffer Zones should be prescribed

as at least 50 metres andshould be adhered to when con-

sidering applications adjacent to sensitive land uses.

11. The limit for acceptable multi-storey high-rise develop-

ment should be determined by the ability to walk-up

the building in the event of power failure (eg. Multi-

storey buildings require elevators).12. Swan Street frontage buildings (both sides) should be

three (3) storeys (as existing) height, but all further up-

per levels MUST be setback a minimum of six (6) me-

tres from the front of the building property line in Swan

Street. Existing Council position as per DSSSP Version 1

(retention of 4 storeys maximum building height in

Swan Street Heritage Overlay areas) to be formal-

ised and included into Planning Scheme ordinance.

13. Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) policy to be revised

and re-written with the Council position of permitting nomore than three (3) storeys along Swan Street at the

street front property line and four (4) storeys maximum

only if set back a minimum of six (6) metres from Swan

Street frontage, and this revision incorporated into the

Planning Scheme Ordinance.

14. The existing Swan Street streetscape faades to be re-

tained. It is Heritage Overlay streetscape on both sides of

Swan Street. New construction design must be in accor-

dance with Heritage built form, urban context and be far

more responsive to its Heritage surrounds, than we are

currently witnessing at DIMMEYS sites.

15. The Draft Swan Street Structure Plan must look at includ-

ing all alternative measures for achieving the desired in-

crease in population growth, such as the use of existing

vacant shop tops for low cost housing, adaptive re-use of

existing vacant commercial properties for multi-

occupancy tenement housing; rezoning Business 3 Zone

(B3) to alternative zones which allow new housing oppor-

tunities to be created within existing buildings and pro-

motion of co-housing (retention of existing homes accom-

modating unrelated individuals who share common ar-

eas yet have their own private quarters under the same

roof).

The Council Minutes indicate that the Councillors have raised

the possibility of high density towers along the Yarra River

Corridor, with the ambiguous wording of the amendment

they moved. Particularly as the Draft Swan Street Structure

Plan Study area goes right down to the Yarra River.

At the April 17 Council Meeting, the Councillors moved an

amendment to the DSSSP V2: should higher buildingsgo along the Yarra River Corridor to take advantage

of amenity and views (see p28 and p36).

By keeping the DSSSP study area so large and extended to the

Yarra River, the possibility for High Density (Towers)

along the Yarra River Corridorcan be put into action, par-ticularly if you study the DSSSP map and the PINK wriggleline which is on: DSSSP. V2. Page 42. Figure 9. Built Form.

The PINK wriggle line is over: Punt Road. [Transport Corri-

dor]. All Railway Lines. [Transport Corridor] and;

Large sections of the Yarra River Corridor. The Built Form

Map legend states:

The DSSSP V2 Built Form Map is included at Page 15 of this

RESPONSE document.

11/18

We need to permanently stop Richmond / Cremorne / Burn-

ley being the dumping ground for Housing Commission style

development, or mega commercial applications, which is the

aim of Planning Officers and Councillors.

SAY NO to the Yarra Councillors, acting to force high-

density development towers upon (Richmond / Cremorne /

Burnley), and creating a defacto Melbourne Central Busi-

ness District, (CBD) extension.SAY NO to the proposed 7-10 Storey Built Form Towers.

SAY NO to the High-Density Signature Building Towers

(Stars on Map).

SAY NOto higher buildings along the Yarra River Corridor

& Transport Corridors, (Punt Road & Railway Lines) for

High-Density Towers.

The Councillors cannot blame VCAT all the time for overdevel-

opment approvals.

This DSSSP V2 is straight out pushing the housing tar-

gets into Richmond / Cremorne / Burnley only.

Meanwhile, the areas where Councillors live, get a re-

prieve from high-density development.

Cities gang up on state

Herald Sun, Melbourne by John Masanauskas 24 Apr 2012General News - page 15 - 261 words - ID 143103072 - Photo: No - Type:

News Item - Size:98.14cm2

MAJOR councils are pushing ahead with plans to allow more high density housingalong public transport routes despite a crackdown by the Baillieu Government.

Melbourne City Council and councils covering transport hubs such as Box Bill,Dandenong and Frankston have joined forces to promote multi-storey apartmentblocks in train and tram corridors.

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said yesterday it was a viable alternative to outer suburbansprawl.

"We have all signed it saying that we all, as a policy position, encourage that greaterintensification of development for six-storey development along transport corridorsbecause thats the way we see population being accommodated using infrastructurebetter, but not detracting from the liveability of the city," he said.

"Weve got to get used to it its not for everybody but its why you are starting to seegreater residential development occurring along transport corridors and centralactivity districts." One of the first acts of the Baillieu Government was to dumpLabors policy of facilitating such development along transport routes.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy said: "It shouldnt be open slather along thosecorridors. Opening the city up as a construction site will cost us our hveability. Weneed to manage population growth and also manage our liveability." WithMelbournes population tipped to increase by more than 30 per cent by 2031, Mr Guysaid the Government wanted several options to accommodate growth "in and aroundthe CBD, in activities areas, in our growth areas and in regional areas".

Opposition planning spokesman Brian Tee said the Government had a hidden agendato dump housing development in certain suburbs and streets.
