4.10.5 Detailed conditions of planning, design and development

Activity location
The location of activities within the Australian National Botanic Gardens has an impact on national significance.  The following principles and policies for activity location should reinforce national significance and allow the unique qualities of the site to continue.

Principles
     1.        The location of visitor orientated displays should encourage maximum utilisation of established infrastructure and relate to a clearly defined pedestrian system.
     2.        Future development should consolidate similar uses into defined common activity zones located to minimise conflicts between visitors, staff and servicing activities so as to contain dispersion of uses, minimise functional conflicts, and improve the operational effectiveness while maximising visitor amenity.
     3.        Service trades functions should be consolidated wherever possible and generally be located within the Secondary Building Zone with rear service access from the service road network.
     4.        Major building development, redevelopment opportunities and the location of major structures should be carefully determined in relation to their built form, landscape and environmental impacts and should be within either the Primary or Secondary Building Zone.
     5.        Provide and enhance a 'gateway' to the site that befits its location and national significance.

Policies
     1.        Consultation with the relevant authority is required for works affecting the heritage values of that part of the Gardens entered on the Commonwealth Heritage List whether for works within that land or within its immediate surroundings.
     2.        Generally, visitor access to the Gardens should be via the major or primary entrance from Clunies Ross Street while service access should be from Frith Street.  Vehicle circulation for service vehicles only is to be facilitated by a primary service vehicle route.
     3.        Car parking facilities  will generally be provided in formal car parks in the Primary Building Zone on the basis of the current provision of 223 spaces for visitors and a further 28 spaces for staff and official use. In addition, there will be four designated coach parking spaces provided.
     4.        Within the Secondary Building Zone, car parking will be provided on the basis of 40 spaces for staff and 40 spaces for visitors in a landscaped setting well screened from Frith Street.  The design of the parking areas will be in accordance with the appropriate Australian Standard.
     5.        Development of areas identified as 'under investigation for development' will be subject to the preparation of a plan setting out development concepts, impacts and proposal details to the satisfaction of the National Capital Authority.  Such a plan may form the basis of an amendment to the Precinct Code.
