Hansen Partnership in association with Knox City Council 3 BURWOOD HIGHWAY DESIGN GUIDELINES Introduction

The purpose of the Burwood Highway Design Guidelines is to provide direction The resulting built form will be a well-defined and consistent urban corridor for the appropriate form of development along Burwood Highway within the with key punctuations at key locations that emphasise the urban structure. The Knox Central Activity Centre. built form will enhance Knox Central’s role as the civic and public heart of the municipality by providing a distinct sense of place for the Activity Centre. These Guidelines build upon various strategic studies that, have guided the These guidelines are not intended to be restrictive. As ‘guidelines’ they seek form and function for the Knox Central Activity Centre and seek to inform the to provide direction for both designers and Council officers in relation to Knox Central Structure Plan development applications fronting Burwood Highway.

The Guidelines generally relate to Burwood Highway between Stud Road and Scoresby Road. This area is the main commercial corridor within the City of Knox and is the ‘spine of’ the Knox Central Activity Centre.

Currently Burwood Highway presents as a disjointed strip with a diversity of built form that provides little indication of the diversity of activities contained within the Westfield Knox shopping centre, the valued landscape setting or the topographical features.

It is envisaged that future development along Burwood Highway will provide a well-defined and memorable urban corridor, with feature forms at the topographical high points and primary intersections. Importantly future development will be unified by the landscape spine characterised by the landscape character which provides a distinctive environmental and design feature.

The key built form recommendations for Burwood Highway can be summarised as:

▪▪ A heightened sense of address to the Knox Central Activity Centre and surrounds through consistency and high quality architectural forms ▪▪ Increased density through the introduction of a 6 storey prevailing building scale along Burwood Highway with recessive upper levels and punctuations of higher forms at corners/key sites and building height stepped-down to the rear to protect sensitive interfaces ▪▪ A green boulevard with the landscape character reflected in the public and private spaces where appropriate; and ▪▪ Frontages configured to orient development towards Burwood Highway and provide activation and surveillance of the street.

The vision for Burwood Highway is closely tied to the change envisaged in Knox Built Form Objectives Central. As stated in the draft Knox Structure Plan the vision for the wider area is that: ▪▪ Encourage high quality, robust and contemporary development, with larger intensive nodes at key intersections and feature forms at identified key intersections such as Stud Road, Lewis Street/High Street Road, and at Knox Central will be a vibrant Scoresby Road.

The study area is divided by Burwood Highway with a range of uses and built form to the north and south. As is evident in Figure 1, Westfield Knox makes up the majority of the north western portion of the study area. Also to the north are car parks, offices, commercial, municipal and vacant land owned by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. The south comprises a number of large sites where residential, retail and commercial uses prevail, with a less intense built form. The study area is unified by a strong landscape presence both in the public and private space.

In addition, the area will support opportunities for emerging industry development with vibrant commercial premises at ground floor. clusters and encourage a transition from traditional industrial uses to high amenity, high value employment uses over time. Non-industrial uses, such as These precincts and their key relevant objectives are as follows: During this transition, the continuation of commercial and industrial uses with existing uses rights will be supported. New sensitive land uses will be required indoor recreational facilities and places of assembly, are considered appropriate to address potential impacts to amenity resulting from existing commercial and given the Activity Centre context of this industrial areas. These types of uses are Commercial Core industrial uses. supported in locations that minimise amenity impacts on adjoining and nearby land uses. The commercial core will provide a broad mix of land uses including residential, New land uses which are likely to result in poor amenity outcomes for residential land uses within the precinct are discouraged. Development will continue to be of a low scale industrial nature, with the employment, business, entertainment, community and leisure activities. A exception of sites fronting Burwood Highway.

Hansen Partnership in association with Knox City Council 3 place features

The ‘place features’ define the setting and make it distinctive. The place values as detailed in Figure 1 can be summarised as: The values below define the valued existing condition and also ▪▪ topography – The topography is undulating and is an the features that new development should respond to. The place opportunity for built form to reinforce the topography. A values relate to the built form and the natural features. key high point is situated near the intersection of Burwood Highway and Tyner Road, whilst the intersection of Stud Road and Burwood Highway is a notable low point. ▪▪ landscape setting - Landscape features are well established in both the public and private realm. There is an existing strong bush boulevard effect in the public realm of Burwood Highway. This is supplemented by a strong domestic landscape character in residential settings. The larger building forms along the highway are sited within a treed setting. ▪▪ views – There are corridor views available along Burwood Highway with limited wider views to the surroundings. As such taller building forms will benefit from these long range views. ▪▪ diversity – There is a diversity of building form and subdivision type. Built form is strongly linked with the types of land uses that are situated in the study area. The subdivision pattern ranges between the fine grain terrace shops with narrow frontages to the broader footprints of the Westfield Knox Shopping centre and the commercial/industrial stock in towards Scoresby Road.

The area demonstrates a relatively low rise development character with obvious opportunities for further consolidation along the Burwood Highway corridor.

The 8 storey office tower at Westfield Knox Shopping Centre has been the tallest building in the precinct, however has recently been surpassed by the Kubix development (on the prominent corner of Burwood Highway and Stud Road) which comprise 3 apartment buildings ranging in height from 9 to 11 storeys. There are significant parcels of land along the Burwood Highway corridor which are deemed to have development potential, given their current use and built form condition. Further, the presence of car parking areas in building setbacks such as at Westfield Knox Shopping Centre detaches the buildings from the activity in the public realm.

The corridor spans 2.2km and incorporates a mix of 3 lane and 4 lane road carriageways in each direction. A mix of service road and direct vehicle access is provided for properties along its length. Bus services are the principal form of public transport in the area, including a bus interchange at Westfield Knox Shopping Centre, which is proposed to be relocated.

Cells of car parking presently surround large format developments such as the Westfield Knox Shopping Centre, Council offices and other large commercial buildings along the north side of the highway. At present connections from education facilities and public reserves to the south and north of the precinct are not clearly defined. Pedestrian activity areas are established adjoining the shopping strip between Tyner Road and Lynn Avenue, and along the Knox Ozone precinct within the Westfield site.

Given the existence of the shared path along Blind Creek open space corridor (to the north) there is significant potential to encourage stronger pedestrian and bicycle access to the Activity Centre from the north. While to the south, Burwood Highway presents as a major physical and psychological barrier to pedestrian and bicycle access.

Figure 4 sets out the existing land use patterns which demonstrate a mix of different uses located in pockets along the highway corridor. The predominant land use is the retail hub of the Westfield Knox Shopping Centre whilst large tracts of industrial uses occupy the northern and western areas. The mix of uses extends to civic and education uses spread across the precinct.

The land use zones and overlays affecting the precinct are contained at appendix 2. A key distinction in the zoning is the provision of the Priority Development Zone 1 (PDZ1) to key parcels of land which front arterial roads and encourage a more intense use of the land. While, the Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z) within the ‘core’ of the centre (to both sides of Burwood Highway) encourages offices and complementary commercial uses, as well as residential at upper levels. Such zones provide opportunities for mixed uses which include residential. Mixed use development can assist in facilitating development which is well articulated, revitalises the public space and generates pedestrian activity throughout the day and evening.
