Amendment C197 | Yarra City Council
What land is affected by the amendment?
This amendment affects land in eleven areas. The areas are located in Alexandra Parade, Fitzroy and Clifton Hill; Nicholson Street, Fitzroy North and Fitzroy; Queens Parade, Fitzroy North and Clifton Hill; Hoddle Street, Richmond; Punt Road, Richmond and Burnley Street, Richmond. The one non-main road site is located at South Terrace, Clifton Hill.
What is the current zoning of the land?
All the land is currently zoned General Residential Zone (GRZ3).
These sites were previously identified as potential sites for application of the Residential Growth Zone (RGZ). The RGZ was proposed in mid-2014 as part of the introduction of the new residential zones. When the State Government changed in late 2014 the new Minister for Planning decided not to proceed with the RGZ and zoned them GRZ3 instead.
The amendment proposes to change the current GRZ3 zone and replace it with different residential zones - some Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ1) and some General Residential Zone (GRZ2 or GRZ4).
The proposed zones are more restrictive than the current zone. They include mandatory height limits whereas the existing GRZ3 has a discretionary 9 metre height limit.
