4.1 Concept

4.1.1 It is proposed that all development within the Adamstown SDZ be subject to a schedule of phasing. The purpose of phasing is to ensure that infrastructure, services, facilities and amenities are provided together with residential development.

4.1.2 The proposed phasing schedule is based on the premise that the number of dwelling units that may be permitted in each phase of development is dependent on a predetermined amount of works to provide infrastructure, services, facilities and amenities having been completed to serve each phase.

4.1.3 This is considered appropriate in the context of a Strategic Development Zone, given that any planning application that is in

compliance with the approved Planning Scheme will receive a ﬁ nal Phasing and Implementation grant of planning permission within eight weeks. Construction may commence immediately thereafter.

4.2 Sequence

4.2.1 To ensure fl exibility, the proposed phasing schedule is sequential I II rather than time-specifi c. There are thirteen sequential phases of development in the Adamstown Planning Scheme, with the critical fi rst phase being split into phases 1A and 1B. Phase 1 comprises 1,000 units, evenly spilt between the two sub-phases. Phase 2 has 800 units and the remaining phases, except for the last phase, have 800 units.

4.2.2 A ‘Roll - Over’ mechanism may operate between any two phases. In the event of the maximum permissible number of units being completed before the required facilities and infrastructure in any phase, a ‘Roll - Over’ of up to 250 dwelling units may be constructed in the following phase, subject to planning permission. These residential units may not be occupied until the required facilities and infrastructure in the previous phase have been completed.

4.2.3 The thirteen sequential phases facilitate a gradual east-west progression across the SDZ lands. Prior to the completion of phase seven, or between 5,001 and 5,800 dwelling units, all of the SDZ lands will have been opened up for development and all major public transportation, external road links internal road loops and sanitary services infrastructure will have been completed.

4.2.4 Phases eight to ten allow for consolidation and completion of development throughout Adamstown and prior to the commencement of phase eleven, or more than 8,200 dwelling units, all infrastructure, services, facilities and amenities necessary to facilitate the minimum required quantum of residential development in the SDZ will have III IV been completed. Figure 4.1. Indicative Phased Development of Adamstown District Centre 4.2.5 Phases eleven to thirteen comprise further intensiﬁ cation that allow additional residential development up to the permitted Planning Scheme ceiling of 10,150 dwelling units. The key elements of the proposed phasing sequence are illustrated and described on the following pages:-
