Planning and Environment Act 1987 Planning and Environment Act 1987 MELBOURNE PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENT C111 EXPLANATORY REPORT Who is the Planning Authority? This Amendment has been prepared by the Minister for Planning and the Minister for Planning is the Planning Authority for this Amendment. Land affected by the Amendment. The Amendment affects land at 134-144 Southbank Boulevard, 21-43 Sturt Street, and part of Southbank Boulevard, adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, Southbank. What the Amendment does. The amendment makes changes to the Schedule to Clause 52.03 “Specific Sites and Exclusions”, and the Schedule to Clause 81 “Documents Incorporated in this Scheme” to insert a new document titled ‘Melbourne Recital Hall and MTC Theatre project August 2005’, and amends the schedule to clause 61.01 – 61.04 inclusive, to make the Minister for Planning the responsible authority for the land at 134-144 Southbank Boulevard, 21-43 Sturt Street and part of Southbank Boulevard, adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, Southbank. The amendment also rezones the land from Mixed Use Zone to Capital City Zone –Schedule 1 (Outside the Retail Core), and places a Road Closure Overlay over a section of Southbank Boulevard adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, Southbank. Strategic assessment of the amendment: Why the Amendment is required. The amendment is required to facilitate the use and development of two major new arts facilities, a recital hall and a Melbourne Theatre Company theatre, at 134-144 Southbank Boulevard, 21-43 Sturt Street, and part of Southbank Boulevard, adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, within the Southbank Arts precinct. The proposal secures one of the final undeveloped sites in the Arts precinct and ensure that it is developed in keeping with the State Government’s strategies for the promotion of art through the development of new cultural infrastructure in Victoria. The development will comprise: • A Recital Hall providing a 1000 seat auditorium, a 500 seat salon and educational facilities; • A Theatre to provide a permanent home for the Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) including a 500 seat theatre and a 150 seat rehearsal hall. The Recital Hall will provide a first class acoustic environment for a range of classical and contemporary music ensembles based in Melbourne, including Music Viva, The Australian Chamber Orchestra, Melbourne Chorale, The Melbourne Festival Chamber Music Series, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria Chamber Music Ensembles. The Recital Hall will address a critical gap in Melbourne’s arts infrastructure by providing a facility for 1000 seats, a capacity level in between the current facilities offered in Melbourne. The project will fulfil a 25 year search for a purpose built Recital Hall. The 500 seat MTC Theatre will fulfil a ten year search for a permanent home for the MTC. The MTC is Australia’s longest established professional theatre company and an important element in Melbourne’s performing arts industry. The two venues have been designed by leading Melbourne architects, Ashton, Raggatt, Mc Dougall. The buildings will front Southbank Boulevard and will appear as two distinct buildings with innovative, contemporary architectural expressions that will reflect and reinforce the cultural identity of the precinct. The buildings will have a medium rise scale, consistent with the surrounding urban fabric and have been deliberately designed to provide visual interest to the public realm, both during the day and night. The two buildings will encroach beyond the existing property line to the north, requiring modifications to the intersection of Southbank Boulevard and Sturt Street, and the closure of a part of Southbank Boulevard. The proposal also includes the use and construction of a commercial car park which will occupy land to the rear of the Recital Hall and MTC Theatre. The car park will comprise 383 car parking spaces along with a retail unit fronting Sturt Street. The car park will be open to both staff and patrons of the arts venues and the general public. The Traffic Engineering Assessment undertaken for the project demonstrates that the car park is required to cater for the parking demands that will be generated by the development and to ensure that there will be no adverse parking impacts on the surrounding street network. The car park will be designed to integrate with the architecture of the Recital Hall and MTC Theatre and will provide an ‘active’ interface with Sturt Street. To facilitate the development, it is necessary to demolish the existing buildings on site including a local ‘C grade’ Art Deco heritage building at 21-23 Sturt Street. A heritage assessment undertaken by Allom -Lovell & Associates, Conservation Architects, found that while the building has architectural merit, it is not unique and is not one of Melbourne’s important art deco buildings. The study concludes that the cultural significance of the development to the Arts Precinct and the broader context of cultural life in Melbourne outweighs the comparatively minor significance of the building and justifies its demolition. The incorporated document titled ‘Melbourne Recital Hall and MTC Theatre project, August 2005’, specifically exempts the need for a permit for the use and development under any provision of the Melbourne Planning Scheme, where generally in accordance with the referenced plan drawings. The use and development must be generally in accordance with the Incorporated Plans which are listed in the document, and detailed conditions of the Incorporated Document. The inclusion of the land within the Capital City Zone will acknowledge the site’s complimentary function and strategic position proximate to The Arts Centre, The National Gallery of Victoria and The Australian Ballet Centre and will enhance the role of Melbourne’s central city as the capital of Victoria` and as an area of national and international cultural importance. How does the amendment implement the objectives of planning in Victoria? (S.4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987) The Amendment implements the objectives of planning in Victoria by implementing the relevant parts of Melbourne 2030, the SPPF, LPPF and MSS of the Melbourne Planning Scheme. How does the amendment address any environmental effects? The amendment takes into account all significant environmental effects, including both the effects the amendment might have on the environment, and the effects which the environment might have on any use or development envisaged by the amendment. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA), VicRoads, and CityLink Melbourne Ltd have been consulted with respect to any affects the proposal may have on the road network and the operation of the City Link exhaust stack. CityLink Melbourne Ltd and the EPA have no objections to the proposal, and VicRoads has no objection subject to conditions being placed on the incorporated document. How does the amendment address any relevant social and economic effects? The economic and social benefits resulting from the amendment include: The two venues will enhance Victoria’s reputation as a leading centre for the arts and culture, and will strengthen Melbourne’s role as a primary tourist destination and cultural hub for the metropolitan area. The two venues will provide a significant improvement to the Arts precinct by addressing a critical gap in Melbourne’s Arts infrastructure with the provision of facilities that are genuinely needed by the community. The project aims to facilitate the delivery of arts and cultural programs to the broader community by providing a diversity of cultural venues and encouraging improved community access and participation through better integration within the arts precinct and the Yarra corridor. The development will provide significant ongoing employment opportunities in the arts industry. How does the amendment comply with the requirements of any other Minister’s Direction applicable to the amendment? The amendment is consistent with the Ministerial Direction on the Form and Content of Planning Schemes under Section 7(5) of the Act. The amendment is affected by Ministerial Direction No. 9 and is consistent with it by having regard to Melbourne 2030 (Metropolitan Strategy). The amendment complies with Ministerial Direction 11 – Strategic Assessment of Amendments. How does the amendment support or implement the State Planning Policy Framework and any adopted State policy? The use and development affected by the amendment is supported by the ‘Metropolitan Strategy - Melbourne 2030’ with regard to: Policy 4.2, to strengthen central Melbourne’s Capital city functions and its role as the primary business, retail, sport and entertainment hub for the metropolitan area. Policy 5.1, to promote good urban design to make the environment more liveable and attractive. Policy 5.2, to recognise and protect cultural identity, neighbourhood character and sense of place. Policy 6.4, to develop a strong cultural environment and increase access to the arts, recreation and other cultural facilities. The use and development of the Melbourne Recital Hall and MTC Theatre is consistent with the State Planning Policy Framework, in particular: Clause 11.03-6, Principles of Land Use Planning, Social Needs: by providing land for accessible cultural and educational community facilities. Cl. 14.02 & 17.01, Settlement and Economic Development: The Capital City role of the City of Melbourne as the major Victorian focus of activity in finance, retail, commerce, tourism,

  • Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014
    Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda item 6.2 Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014 Presenter: Rob Adams, Director City Design Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the recent public release of the Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint (Blueprint) and advise on the implications for Council. 2. The preparation of a Blueprint to guide the future development of the Melbourne’s Arts Precinct was initiated in May 2011 by the Victorian Government and presents a shared vision for the future of the area as determined by a working group, chaired by architect Yvonne von Hartel AM and comprising key precinct stakeholders including Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, University of Melbourne and major arts institutions. Key issues 3. The principles underpinning the Blueprint were informed by a community consultation process that involved representatives of arts organisations, residents, arts students and visitors to the precinct. 4. The Blueprint identifies that the precinct has the potential to be a vibrant and active destination and proposes that this will only be fully realised when all levels of government agree to cooperate in the facilitation of this special place. Council’s ongoing participation in the implementation of projects in the public realm is one way by which this overall vision can be achieved (refer Attachment 2). 5. The Blueprint is consistent with Council’s adopted Southbank Structure Plan and includes actions such as the streetscape improvements to City Road, open space along Southbank Boulevard and the integration of Dodds Street with the VCA campus.

    This version of Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 has been prepared for use with screen reader software. The printed publication contains various design features that have been necessarily omitted from this version. In other respects this document contains identical text to that in the PDF version of the document which is available at planmelbourne.vic.gov.au Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 Metropolitan planning strategy Page 1 of 164 The Minister for Planning Victoria is one of the most diverse and liveable places in the world. The foundation of our success has been our people. We would not be as prosperous as we are today without the wealth of new people and new ideas that came through migration – particularly during the boom times of the 1850s Gold Rush and 1950s post- War years. Now, as Victoria experiences its third population boom, we need to grow in the right places and in the right ways. Population growth will give us the critical mass of people and skills we need to build better infrastructure for our cities, suburbs and towns; deliver services to our ageing population; transition to a low-carbon economy; and profit from the opportunities of the Asian Century. We need to see this population boom as an opportunity for Victoria to grow more liveable, more sustainable and more prosperous. For that to happen, we need to grow in controlled ways. That means stopping Melbourne’s urban sprawl, ensuring our regional cities remain affordable and liveable, making smart investments in infrastructure that encourage job growth outside the CBD, and giving local communities across the state support to put together their own plans for development.

  • Transforming Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street
    Transforming Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street The City of Melbourne is giving our neighbourhood a facelift – 2.5 hectares of beautiful new green public spaces along Southbank Boulevard and its surrounds! Commencing on 9 July, construction works will take an estimated 18 months – and while there’ll be plenty of long-term benefits to the Melbourne Arts Precinct, there’ll also be some short-term impacts to our visitors, including temporary road closures, changes/diversions to roads and traffic lights, and changed access to our car park. So what’s this project all about? City of Melbourne Vision The Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street Draft Concept Plan outlines City of Melbourne’s vision for creating great public spaces for people in Southbank. It sets the direction and plan to transform Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street into one of Australia’s most pedestrian-friendly places, linking the Domain Parklands to the Yarra River. It recognises the rich history and stories of the site and is based on extensive community and stakeholder engagement. Construction of the first stage will start Monday 9 July 2018. You can view the interactive Draft Concept Plan here; the plan outlines 10 actions for a new vision for Southbank that will: • create 2.5 hectares of new public open space • prioritise pedestrians, public transport and cyclists • deliver a new, accessible tram stop on Sturt Street • enhance the gateway into the Melbourne Arts Precinct • create a living link, connecting the Domain Parklands to the Yarra River • create a “Melbourne Experience” for Southbank • build a new civic square for the precinct • deliver a series of new neighbourhood parks for the community.
