My name is Craig Czarny and I am a director of design at Hansen Partnership. I have over 30 years’ experience in urban design projects in Australia and overseas. I hold a Bachelors degree in Planning and a Masters degree in Landscape Architecture and have provided urban design, streetscape and public domain advice on a number of projects of varying scales. My qualifications and experience are set out in Appendix A. I have a sound appreciation of the urban form, streetscape and public domain issues associated with residential, commercial and streetscape settings, having provided advice on a number of activity centre, residential and neighbourhood character studies, including in Cardinia. 2. On this occasion, I have been engaged by Planning and Property Partners Pty Ltd on behalf of Kaufland Australia Pty Ltd to assess the urban design attributes of the proposed Incorporated Document guiding the development of a new retail form at 795 Princes Highway, Pakenham (Lot 1 on PS640388). The Incorporated Document is part of a larger planning proposal that is the subject of Advisory Committee proceedings to provide advice and recommendations to the Minister for Planning on the proposed rollout of Kaufland stores in Metropolitan Melbourne in accordance with Section 151 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. 3. I have inspected the site and surrounds on 9th November 2019 and reviewed exhibited plans prepared by TRG: Retail Design & Construction Management dated 4th October 2019 (Rev E1) and also ‘Day 1 Plans’ and related background, including proposed Incorporated Documents. I have also inspected relevant the Planning Policy Framework of the Cardinia Planning Scheme and submissions following exhibition of documentation. 4. I note that I have previously prepared and presented urban design evidence on behalf of Kaufland Australia Pty Ltd, relating to Tranche 1 sites which were principally proposals for ‘like with like’ approved or realised Large Format store forms. In the main, the Tranche 3 proposals are different in that they represent new urban design propositions. 5. In summary, I am satisfied that the proposed Incorporated Document, with reference to the exhibited architectural plans for the proposed Kaufland, Pakenham represents an acceptable urban design outcome when measured against relevant parameters of the Cardinia Planning Scheme, subject to minor design refinements as set out in this report. The proposed development outcome, comprising a Large Format Kaufland store and associated parking has been configured in a way that supports the progressive evolution of the Princes Highway frontage at the western approach to the Lakeside Neighbourhood Activity Centre (NAC) in Pakenham. The land is positioned at the threshold between commercial activity and residential land and suitably embodies the pattern of connected Large Format Stores already addressing the Highway to the east. With minor refinement, I am satisfied that this proposal will competently integrate with the Highway address and the broader physical context as a complement to this important junction setting. 3 Victoria Advisory Committee (Kaufland Stores) | 795 Princes Highway, Pakenham (Lot 1 on PS640388) The Site & Surrounds 6. The site is located at 795 Princes Highway, Pakenham (Lot 1 on Plan of Subdivision 640388Y) on the north side of the road leading uphill to Havana Parade. The land is identified within the ‘Peripheral Commercial’ area of the Cardinia Road PSP. The allotment is an ‘L’ shaped allotment with a frontage to Princes Highway and Thewlis Road. The site has a total area 2 of 33,190m . The land is currently undeveloped. The View of site from Thewlis Road immediate abuttals are: ▪ To the north is Havana Parade, a 16m local access road, with Pin Oak planting along the road reserve.

Place values 5 Victoria Advisory Committee (Kaufland Stores) | 795 Princes Highway, Pakenham (Lot 1 on PS640388) Planning & Design Framework 9. The site is located in the Urban Growth Zone – Schedule 1 (UGZ1). The purpose of the UGZ1 is: ▪ To implement the Municipal Planning Strategy and the Planning Policy Framework. ▪ To manage the transition of non-urban land into urban land in accordance with a precinct structure plan. ▪ To provide for a range of uses and the development of land generally in accordance with a precinct structure plan. ▪ To contain urban use and development to areas identified for urban development in a precinct structure plan. ▪ To provide for the continued non-urban use of the land until urban development in accordance with a precinct structure plan occurs. ▪ To ensure that, before a precinct structure plan is applied, the use and development of land does not prejudice the future urban use and development of the land. ▪ To provide for residential uses at densities complementary to the role and scale of the commercial centre. 10. The site is affected by the Development Contributions Plan Overlay – Schedule 2 (DCPO2). 11. Relevant Planning Policy Framework (PPF), Local Planning Policy Framework (LPPF) and Particular Provisions regarding design include (refer Appendix B): ▪ Clause 11 – Settlement; ▪ Clause 15 – Built Environment and Heritage; ▪ Clause 21.01 – Cardinia Shire Key Issues and Strategic Vision; ▪ Clause 21.03 – Settlement and Housing; ▪ Clause 21.06 – Particular Uses and Development; ▪ Clause 22.04 – Highway Development; and ▪ Clause 52.05 – Signs. 12. The following reference documents are as relevant: ▪ Cardinia Road Precinct Structure Plan (Cardinia Shire Council, 2008); ▪ Pakenham Homemaker Precinct Urban Design Framework (2004); ▪ Casey – Cardinia Growth Area Framework Plan (Victorian Government, 2006); ▪ Draft Advertising Signage Design Guidelines (Cardinia Shire Council, 2019); ▪ The Urban Design Charter (Victorian Government, 2009); and ▪ Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, 2017). 6 Victoria Advisory Committee (Kaufland Stores) | 795 Princes Highway, Pakenham (Lot 1 on PS640388) The Proposal 13.

While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.
