Any part of the building above the street wall should be setback: A minimum of 5m if the building height is ≤8 storeys, except on City Road. A minimum of 10m if the building height is > 8 storeys. Any part of a building the street wall must be setback a minimum of 10m on City Road. In all orther areas, any part of a building above the street wall must be setback: A minimum of 3m if the building height is ≤ 8 storeys as shown in Diagram 4. A minimum of 5m if the building height is > 8 storeys and ≤ 20 storeys as in Diagram 5. A minimum of 10m: If the building fronts City Road and Williamstown Road If the overall building height is > 20 storeys as shown in Diagram6, except where the building has direct interface with: Westgate Freeway; City Link overpass; 96 tram corridor, or Route 109 tram corridor. in which case a minimum of 5m applies as shown in Diagram 7. Setbacks above street walls that ensure: Comfortable wind conditions in the public realm. Adequate daylight and sunlight into streets and laneways. Skyviews from the street or laneway and do not overwhelm the public realm. An appropriate setback to significant elements of any heritage place on, or adjoining the site. Upper floors are visually recessive to minimise visual bulk. Overshadowing of the footpaths around the South Melbourne Market is minimised. Note: For the purpose of Table 4: [DDO M 2.0p25] The setback of a building above a street wall from a laneway is the shortest horizontal distance from the building façade to the centreline of the laneway. [DDO M 2.0p26] The setback of a building above a street wall from a street is the shortest horizontal distance from the building façade to the street boundary. [DDO M 2.0p27]
Building separation within a site 6: Minimum building separation within a site FORM REQUIREMENTS BUILT FORM OUTCOMES Preferred building separation Minimum building separation the street wall: Buildings within the same site should be separated from each other by at least 12m. the street wall: Buildings within the same site should be separated from each by at least 20m. Below the street wall: Buildings within the same site must be separated from each other by at least 6m. Above the street wall: A new building up to 20 storeys in height must be separated from any other building on the same site by at least 10m as shown in Diagram 8. A new building over 20 storeys in height must be separated from any other building on the same site by at least 20m as shown in Diagram 9. To ensure high quality internal amenity outcomes within buildings having regard to outlook, daylight, overlooking, and offsetting direct views between buildings within the same site. Internal amenity is acheived by building separation rather than screening. To ensure tall buildings do not appear as a continuous wall when viewed from street Note: For the purpose of Table 6 building separation distance within a site is to be measured from the face of each building. [DDO M 2.0p28] Diagram 8 Diagram 9 Overshadowing Buildings and works must not cast any additional shadow above the maximum street wall height over: [DDO M 2.0p29] The existing residential zoned land south of City Road and east of Montague Street between the hours of 11.00am and 2.00pm on 22 September. [DDO M 2.0p30] The existing or proposed public open spaces or streets shown in the relevant maps of this schedule for the hours specified on the same map. [DDO M 2.0p31] Wind effects on the public realm Table 7: Wind effects on the public realm BUILT FORM REQUIREMENTS FORM OUTCOMES Buildings and works higher than 40 metres: Must not unsafe wind conditions. Should achieve comfortable wind conditions; To ensure that the ground-level wind gust speeds do not cause unsafe wind conditions to pedestrians adjacent to the development or to pedestrians adjacent to public spaces.
Be contained within a building. The area of any ground floor of a building occupied by building services, including waste, loading and parking should be less than 40% of the total site area. Adaptable buildings Table 9: Adaptable buildings BUILT FORM REQUIREMENTS FORM OUTCOMES Buildings should be designed with minimum floor to floor heights of: at least 4.0 metres at ground level; at least 3.8 metres for other lower levels up to the height of the street wall. Car parking areas not within a basement should have level and a height not less than 3.8 metres. Mechanical systems should be utilised to reduce the footprint of car parking Internal layouts should be designed and arranged to enable adaptable flootplates to accommodate change of uses over time. Buildings are designed to accommodate employment uses and provide for future adaptation or conversion of parts of a building accommodating non-employment generating uses (including car parking) to employment generating uses over time. Car parking is designed: So that it can be adapted to other uses over time. To minimise its footprint within a building. Dwellings are designed to enable the consolidation or reconfiguration over time to alter the number of bedrooms. Internal layouts and floor plates should be flexible and adaptable with minimal load bearing walls that maximise flexibility for retail or commercial refits. Floorplate layout designed to enable one and two bedroom dwellings to be combined or adapted into or more bedroom dwellings. Building finishes Table 10: Building finishes BUILT FORM REQUIREMENTS BUILT FORM OUTCOMES Building materials and finishes for buildings fronting main roads should not exceed 15 per cent perpendicular reflectivity, measured at 90 degrees to the façade surface. Buildings should provide different façade treatments every 10m along: City Road; Normanby Road; and New north-south laneways connecting Normanby Road to Munro Street and Watergate Street. Buildings are not designed in a manner that creates blank facades. Buildings are designed to achieve a fine on City Road, Normanby Road and on new north-south laneways connecting Normanby Road to Munro Street and Woodgate Street. Exemption from notice and review An application for construction of a building or to construct or carry out works is exempt from the notice requirements of Section 52(1)(a), (b) and (d), the decision requirements of
