11


MAYOR

6. Opportunities to create shared zones in parts of Spring Street and Bronte Road. 7. Develop a movement strategy that integrates pedestrian and vehicular movements and

has a clear focus on the quality of the public domain. 8. Create solar access planes for public open spaces within the Bondi Junction Centre. 9. Consider tall office buildings on the southern Westfield site (facilitating the opportunity

for A-grade office space in Bondi Junction). 10. Use potential for additional storeys within LEP height limit at selected locations (at

present the number of storeys is limited by the DCP which at some locations does not correspond with the full LEP height potential).

11. Refer to national and state legislation such as the National Construction Code (NCC) or the NSW Residential Flat Design Code (RFDC) for specific matters, e.g. determination of ceiling heights.

12. Develop a framework for Voluntary Planning Agreements and Section 94 contributions. 13. Rename the SEPP 65 panel the “design excellence panel” and improve its utilisation by

referring a wider range of projects and seeking pre-DA review. 14. Permit commercial uses on sites on the south side of Ebley Street between Hollywood

Avenue and Denison Street where they face potential overshadowing from development to the north.

15. Where appropriate require development applications to illustrate how neighbouring sites can be renewed or redeveloped adjacent to the proposal.

16. Introduce environmental design into the DCP including passive solar design and natural ventilation.

17. Require development applications to consider impacts on surrounding sites. This may include three dimensional testing of shadowing.

18. Plan for the renewal of the area between Ebley Street and Birrell Street and possible expansion of the Junction southward.

19. Character Statements should be established in Bondi Junction to provide qualitative direction for design. The City of Sydney’s Locality Statements may serve as a guide. These should reflect the existing and the desired future character of each area within Bondi Junction. An important element of this task is to determine the extent of each character area. Presently the Junction has a diverse range of characters, these are largely defined by streets, block by block.(p.46 of BJUDR).

20. Traffic study with focus on pedestrian access and circulation including between Spring Street, Oxford Mall and the Bus and Rail Interchange.

21. Implementation of shared zones with low speed bus traffic; 22. Consider undertaking a block-by-block analysis to assess building massing options for

redevelopment sites. Use this process to determine appropriate setbacks in the context of existing building massing, block depth, lot size and access considerations;

23. Preparation of a comprehensive Public Domain Master Plan; 24. Amend the layout of the DCP chapter on Bondi Junction to improve the document; 25. Public domain improvement program with priority projects to guide future investment; 26. Further investigation in Voluntary Planning Agreements and/or Section 94 contribution

options; 27. Include character statements in the DCP to provide qualitative design direction to new

developments; 28. Prepare a plan to Improve public domain of Grafton Street and towards/underneath Syd

Enfield Drive; 29. Rename the SEPP 65 panel the “design excellence panel” and improve its utilisation by

referring a wider range of projects and seeking pre-DA review. * Refer to Chapters 4 (page 7) and 12 of the BJUDR for more detail (Attachment 1).
