Object

Amendment is premature and lacks strategic justification.
Standards across Melbourne should be consistent.
Impact on housing diversity or housing affordability has not been considered.
Amendment should not proceed until outcomes of State Government Apartment Design Code are known.
Introduction of the MADC as an incorporated document is not an appropriate mechanism.
Mandatory requirements throughout the document are problematic.
Mandatory standards are contrary to the operation section of the document (pg 3-4).

|
Various multi-dwelling proposals within Brunswick Activity Centre
|
Objection
|
Current planning policies and strategies already provide an appropriate platform to guide higher density residential development in the municipality.
Such policy would be more appropriate if implemented at a State level.
Proposed requirements are excessively restrictive.
Bicycle and car parking requirements are contrary or repeat from Clause 52.06 and 52.34.
A blanket approach to the form and internal layout of multi-dwelling development will discourage site responsive and innovative design solutions.
MADC is poorly drafted; widespread use of mandatory language is applied to a large number of discretionary requirements and standards.
|
Too prescriptive
State issue
Policy duplication
Poorly drafted
|
MADC is needed because lack of adequate State guidelines
Minister has indicated standards for higher density development will not proceed at this stage.
Provisions are not excessively restrictive. They reflect NSW standards and are required to ensure a reasonable standard of development for residents in apartments.
Language in MADC to be amended to replace ‘must’ with ‘should’ for discretionary provisions
