Section 6 Barton

Background

The Riverside site on Section 6 Barton occupies a prestigious position in the Central National Area and is prominent in views from vantage points north of the Lake and on approaches to the Parliamentary Zone. It is critical that the form and scale of development of this key site contributes to Kings Avenue and forms an appropriate built form flanking the Parliamentary Zone. All development in this area of Barton is to be of a consistently high design quality befitting its national significance.
The detailed conditions of planning, design and development for the development of the Section 6 are determined by its:
       * prominent location within the Central National Area
       * proximity to the Parliamentary Zone and Kings Avenue
       * relationship to the Lake and associated parklands
       * north sloping terrain which provides panoramic views over the Lake
       * visual prominence from vantage points north of the Lake.
The aim is that the Riverside site, together with development on the opposite block, Section 9 Barton, will become an important public precinct with the development of residential and community uses in close proximity to the office employment areas of Barton and Parkes.

Objectives

Encourage high density residential development, together with appropriate forms of commercial accommodation and other minor commercial uses.
Provide residential development that enables people to live close to a major office employment centre and take advantage of the panoramic views that the site affords.
Facilitate the development of small scale commercial land uses, such as commercial accommodation, restaurants, cafés and tourist uses to complement the permitted land uses.
Encourage a diversity of land uses that will enhance the Parliamentary Zone and attract day and night activities into the formal areas of the National Capital.

Land use policy

The permitted land use for Block 22 Section 6 is:
• Residential
Other land uses permitted, ancillary to the above uses, are:
• Commercial Accommodation
• Community Facility
• Recreation
• Retail.

Detailed conditions of planning, design and development

All future buildings on the Riverside site should conform with the following principles:
       * Long façades should be broken up by using colonnades, pergolas, and through the use of sun shading emphasising the play of light and shade.
       * Creating openings in masonry structures.
       * Continuous glazing and reflective glass is not permitted.
       * Identifying entrances through the inclusion of canopies, porte‑cochere and covered ways.
       * Limiting the range of materials and colours to those in the off‑white to ochre range; stark white materials are not permitted.
       * Concealing lift overruns and plant rooms within pitched roofs.
