Cllrs G. O'Connell, L. O'Toole and F. Timmons

REPORT:

The Draft Planning Scheme fully supports the provision of open space and active recreation on the SDZ lands. In relation to amendments to the Character and Development Areas and  however, the Chief Executive does not agree with the rezoning of land from residential to amenity/open space in Adamstown Extension, Kishoge North West, Kishoge North East and the Canal Extension.

The proposed motion does not reflect the carefully considered and co-ordinated approach of the Draft Planning Scheme and the SDZ Order for the subject lands.

The Character and Development Areas concept has been carefully considered as part of the urban design approach including the green infrastructure and land use strategies of the Draft Planning Scheme reflects the requirements of the SDZ Order to prioritise residential development.

 As such, the Chief Executive does not support the overall intent of this motion or the preceding motions relating to this issue.

Strategic Environmental Assessment of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No interaction with Strategic Environmental Objectives.
