    In August 2022, Council adopted the Carnegie Structure Plan 2022. The Structure Plan is a 15-year plan to manage growth and improvement in the Carnegie Major Activity Centre. It sets out the long-term vision and the future directions for the centre to help it maintain its valued historical character and charm while accommodating some future growth and change. It provides guidance for the location and scale of retail, commercial and residential development into the future and supports improved access, streetscapes and public spaces throughout the centre.

    The structure plan presents a range of recommendations, of particular importance at this stage are the proposed heights and setbacks for future development in the commercial core in the vicinity of Koornang Rd and the urban renewal area between the railway line and Dandenong Road.

    A planning scheme amendment is required to introduce the planning control recommendations of the Structure Plan into the planning scheme. We have prepared Amendment C237 for this purpose.

    The introduction of a Design and Development Overlay (DDO9) to the centre will guide the heights and setbacks of new development so that their scale and form respond to the heritage character of Koornang Road and the adjoining residential areas.

    The amendment proposes to:

    • Replace the existing Design and Development Overlay Schedule 9 (DDO9) to Clause 43.02 with a new DDO9 that introduces permanent planning controls.
    • Rezone the following land to a Mixed-Use Zone:
      • No’s. 19-21 Arawatta Street (odd numbers)
      • No’s. 12-22 Arawatta Street (even numbers)
      • No’s. 1100-1106 Dandenong Road (even numbers)
      • No’s. 26-30 Woorayl Street (even numbers)
    • Amend the Planning Policy Framework at Clauses:
      • 03-1 Settlement and activity centres
      • 04-1 Strategic Framework Plan
      • 03-1L Activity centres
      • 01-2L-01 Building Design
      • 01-1L-01 Housing Supply
      • 02-3L Public Transport
      • 02-4L-02 Car parking
    • Replace the Schedule to Clause 72.08 with a new Schedule to introduce the Carnegie Structure Plan (2022) as a background document.
