1. ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

This Development Plan provides an outline of the way the property at 1158 Nepean Highway Mornington (The BATA site) is intended to be developed.

The Development Plan proposes building footprints, road layouts and the locations of open space, commercial and other land uses and facilities for the future planned development of the site.

Under the provisions of Schedule 2 (Mornington Parkland Industrial Area) of the Development Plan Overlay (DPO2) that affects the land, a permit must not be granted to use or subdivide land, construct a building or construct or carry out works until a development plan has been prepared to the satisfaction of the responsible authority.

The Development Plan under DPO2 must describe: A minimum building setback of 90 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage A minimum setback from side and rear boundaries of 15 metres. A maximum plot ratio of 0. 35. A minimum of 50 percent of any site set aside for landscaping.

It should be noted that DPO2 applies to the Parkland Industrial area located on the Nepean Highway, between Oakbank Road and Bungower Road, Mornington, however the DPO states that a development plan may consist of plans or other documents and may, with the agreement of the responsible authority, be prepared and implemented in stages. This Development Plan relates only to the northern part of DPO2. An application under any provision of this scheme which is generally in accordance with the Development Plan is exempt from the notice requirements of Section 52(1)(a), (b) and (d), the decision requirements of Section 64(1), (2) and (3) and the review rights of Section 82(1) of the Act.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The subject land is at the edge of the Mornington Activity Centre which traditionally has historic and physical relationship to the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay. Nepean Highway is the most direct connection linking Mornington to Frankston and the Metropolitan area and is the most significant road link to the Mornington Activity Centre.

The Mornington Activity Centre sits within a wider system of activity centres in the south-eastern region of metropolitan Melbourne. The location of the Activity Centre enables it to service Peninsula residents as well as attracting trade from visitors. The Bata Site with its direct connection to Nepean Highway is an important gateway to the Mornington Activity Centre.

The Highway Precinct including the Bata site, extends along Nepean Highway, between the Tanti Creek and Wilsons Road. This area comprises a mix of commercial land uses which are typically located on the edge of large activity centres.

The Bata site is in a gateway location and its presentation to Nepean Highway is important in providing a sense of arrival to the Activity Centre as it is approached from the north. This Development Plan provides for orderly development of the site and protection of its valuable gateway and landscape characteristics. The Development Plan provides for integration of existing and proposed buildings and works in a sensitive landscaped context featuring a substantial building setback from the main road. Road and pedestrian linkages through the site provide for ease of movement and link the different land use elements.

Schedule 2 to the Development Plan Overlay requires that the Development Plan must show: A minimum building setback of 90 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage and 58 metres from

any Bungower Road frontage. A minimum setback from side and rear boundaries of 15 metres. A maximum plot ratio of 0. 35. A minimum of 50 percent of any site set aside for landscaping. The responsible authority may vary these requirements. In this case the Council has created a variation by requiring: A minimum landscaped setback from the Nepean highway frontage of 70 metres on the section

of the land that is proposed to accommodate future development; 15 metre setbacks of buildings from the side and rear boundaries of the site; and A minimum indigenous vegetation setback from Oakbank Road of 7 metres free of car parking.

The Development Plan encompasses all of these provisions



CONTENTS

3. INTRODUCTION

The principles to be applied in the preparation of the Development Plan include treatment of the Nepean Highway abuttal, interface with adjoining and nearby land uses, provision of appropriate landscaping and adequate environmental controls.

3.1 General Requirements The Development Plan relates to and gives expression to a range of planning policies and provisions as they apply to the site. The elements include: Efficient use and layout consistent with Council's local planning policy requirements found at

Clause 22.01 of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme. This provision applies to industrial subdivision and design.

Notional land use to be consistent with the Industrial 3 zoning provisions. Car parking to be provided in conformity with the requirements of clause 52.06 of the Mornington

Peninsula Planning Scheme Development within each lot to be subject to the planning application process. Future use to be subject of individual planning permit applications as per the Industrial 3 zoning

provisions which affect the site. Internal setbacks to access roads to be consistent and landscaped to the requirements of

Council. Building envelopes and site layout subject to future submissions to Council by way of amendment

to the Development Plan. Landscaping of any allotment to be to the satisfaction of the Council.

3.2 Nepean Highway Presentation The Bata site is a gateway location that presents to the travelling public as they move south towards Mornington Activity Centre along Nepean Highway. Presentation of the site is therefore of major significance as it signifies arrival to Mornington Township. Features included in the Development Plan include:

A building setback of 90 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage at the Oakbank Road junction (as per DPO 2) to promote gateway concept at the entrance to Mornington.

Soft landscape approach to be adopted in conformity with the established pattern to the south i.e. towards Bungower Road.

Sight lines to car parking to be screened by landscaping.

Signage to be designed and introduced in a manner that complements the landscaped character of the site.

Existing 'Bata' sign to be retained.

Nepean Highway / Oakbank Road splay, dimensions to accord with the requirements of VicRoads.

Landscaping themes to complement built form and enhance the visual attractiveness of the site.



CONTENTS

3.3 Site Abuttals The Development Plan provides for:

Appropriate building setbacks to the side and rear boundaries.

Siting of buildings and works to the satisfaction of the responsible authority with sensitive treatment of crossovers to Oakbank Road.

Provision of sensitive screening of buildings, works and plant and equipment close to the site boundaries and use of setback areas to minimise visual and amenity impacts on adjoining properties.

Maintenance of existing fences and provide supplementary planting to increase both perceived and physical separation.

3.4 Building Design With respect to building design, the Development Plan provides for:

Application of a preferred maximum plot ratio of 0.35 directed towards appropriate site outcomes.

Promotion of attractive and active facade treatments to internal access roads.

Careful consideration to design and siting of buildings with attention in situations close to residential abuttals.

Retention of the existing building with enhancements or where extensions are proposed, to focus upon excellence in urban design and legibility.

Buildings to be designed with regard to solar access, ESD principles and efficiency in movement and energy conservation.

Encouragement of water sensitive urban design.

Demolished materials to be recycled or salvaged for reuse where possible.

4. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

4.1 Introduction

The concept for the Bata site is to apply the previously agreed design principles for the site and to enable the staged development of the site in conformity with a plan that retains the gateway image of the site while introducing complementary land uses.

Provision is made in the Plan for future expansion of the Bata factory and offices while foreshadowing the introduction of a child minding centre in the northern section of the site adjacent to Oakbank Road. Adjacent to the Oakbank Road frontage is the main car park for the Bata company.

Figure 1: The Bata Site Development Plan

To the south of the Bata building is provision for a new building set back 90 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage. A landscaped setback of 70 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage is a key feature of the plan. In this location the building envelope is shown to have a minimum setback from side and rear boundaries of 15 metres. There is a continuous landscape strip along the southern and eastern boundaries of the site, separating buildings and service areas from the interfaces with adjoining properties.

Parking for the potential new building is located a minimum of 70 metres from Nepean Highway.



CONTENTS

4.2 Vehicle Movement

Figure 2: Vehicle Movement

There are two main access points to the site. One is from Oakbank Road and the other is from Nepean Highway towards the southern edge of the site. The internal road system connects all sections of the site with the main land uses utilising the access points and roads as shown in purple on the vehicle movement Plan.

Service vehicles will enter and leave the site mainly via Oakbank Road with access provided to service areas at the rear of the main buildings. Service areas are to be heavily landscaped at the eastern perimeter of the site and provision is made for all service vehicles to enter and leave in a forward direction

4.3 Pedestrian Movement

Figure 3: Pedestrian Movement

Provision is made for pedestrian movement along the frontage and throughout the site. Most pedestrian traffic through the site will be along the western edges of the existing and proposed buildings.



CONTENTS

4.4 Public Space

Figure 4: Public Space

Significant sections of the site are set aside for landscaped open space with the largest section facing the junction of Oakbank Road and Nepean Highway. Subsidiary spaces are located towards the northern, southern and eastern edges of the site.

Additional public space will be integrated into the existing and proposed buildings and surrounds.

4.5 Active Edges Figure 5 Active Edges

New buildings are to be designed with active edges in accordance with Council policy objectives.



CONTENTS

5. OTHER MATTERS

In the location of the proposed child care centre facing Oakbank Road there is provision along the frontage for a 15-metre setback from the building. A seven metre landscaped setback separates the child care car park from Oakbank Road.

Buildings are set well back from the eastern boundary of the site. At the narrowest point the proposed child care centre building is set back a minimum of 15 metres from the eastern boundary with an acoustic boundary fence to be an additional feature.

Provision is made for a new building to the south of the existing Bata building offset from the southern boundary. Along the southern boundary of the site there is a generous landscaped setback of 15 metres.

A generous landscaped setback of 70 metres from the Nepean Highway frontage will screen the car park from the main road. This can be observed to be a substantial provision having regard to the context of development in this location as indicated on the following aerial image.

Figure 6 The Site Context

With such a large site of approximately 6 hectares, it is appropriate that provision be made for an access to Nepean Highway towards the southern boundary of the site. The new access would be located approximately 130 metres to the south of the intersection with Oakbank Road. Any new access would be subject to the approval of VicRoads.

Any proposed signage on the site would be designed to complement the existing and new landscaping with an emphasis on the interface with the residential area to the east.



CONTENTS
