REPORT:

Response

The intent of the proposed motion is provided for under the Draft Planning Scheme. Public Services are listed as permitted in principle in the residential and mixed use areas of the Plan Lands. There is also provision under Section 2.1.3 of the Draft Planning Scheme that allows works relating to existing development that has planning permission or is in existence prior to Planning and Development Legislation.

The DART Expansion programme will be subject to a detailed railway order application and no development is proposed over or along the railway line. The Draft Planning Scheme would not inhibit detailed requirements in relation to the provision of associated infrastructure. No amendment to the Planning Scheme is required it this regard.
