MEETING OF SDZ, LAPS AND PLANNING PROJECTS

MOTION NO. 338

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

“That, in the Phasing section on page 140, the Roll Over mechanism of 250 units is removed.”

REPORT:

The Phasing Programme requires the delivery of residential and infrastructure projects to take place in tandem.

The intention of the ‘Roll – Over’ mechanism is to enable practical flexibility between phases as the timelines of the construction process can vary due to unexpected delays. This degree of flexibility for the required minimum infrastructure in each phase enables a smooth transition between phases and limits delays in the delivery of residential units.

The Draft Planning Scheme states:

‘A ‘Roll - Over’ mechanism may operate between any two phases. In the event of the maximum permissible number of units being completed before the required facilities and infrastructure in any phase, a ‘Roll - Over’ of up to 250 dwelling units may be constructed in the following phase, subject to planning permission. These residential units may not be constructed until the developer demonstrates the provision of requirements from the previous phase is ongoing and the units may not be occupied until the requirements in the previous phase have been completed.’
