OPERATION OF THE PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK

71.02-131/07/2018VC148

Purpose of the Planning Policy FrameworkThe Planning Policy Framework provides a context for spatial planning and decision making byplanning and responsible authorities. The Planning Policy Framework is dynamic and will be builtupon as planning policy is developed and refined, and changed as the needs of the communitychange.

The Planning Policy Framework seeks to ensure that the objectives of planning in Victoria (as setout in section 4 of the Act) are fostered through appropriate land use and development planningpolicies and practices that integrate relevant environmental, social and economic factors in theinterests of net community benefit and sustainable development.

71.02-231/07/2018VC148

OperationThe Planning Policy Framework sets out the planning policies that form part of this planningscheme. It comprises Clauses 10 to 19.

A planning policy applies to all land subject to this planning scheme unless the policy specifiesotherwise.

A planning policy provides guidance for decisionmaking and can help the community to understandhow the responsible authority will consider a proposal.

The consistent application of planning policy over time should achieve a desired outcome.

A planning authority must take into account the Planning Policy Framework when it prepares anamendment to this planning scheme.

A responsible authority must take into account and give effect to the Planning Policy Frameworkwhen it makes a decision under this planning scheme. This does not apply to policy guidelinesand policy documents.

Policy guidelines

A planning policy may include policy guidelines. Policy guidelines indicate how objectives canbe met and how strategies can be implemented.

A responsible authority must take a relevant policy guideline into account when it makes a decisionunder this planning scheme, but is not required give effect to it. If the responsible authority issatisfied that an alternative approach meets the objective, the alternative may be considered.

Policy documents

A planning policy may include reference to a policy document. A policy document may be anincorporated, background and other document.

A background document listed in the table or the schedule to Clause 72.08 that applies to Clauses10 to 19 is a policy document for applicable planning policies.

71.02-331/07/2018VC148

Integrated decision makingSociety has various needs and expectations such as land for settlement, protection of theenvironment, economic wellbeing, various social needs, proper management of resources andinfrastructure. Planning aims to meet these needs and expectations by addressing aspects ofeconomic, environmental and social wellbeing affected by land use and development.

Planning and responsible authorities should endeavour to integrate the range of planning policiesrelevant to the issues to be determined and balance conflicting objectives in favour of net communitybenefit and sustainable development for the benefit of present and future generations. However,in bushfire affected areas, planning and responsible authorities must prioritise the protection ofhuman life over all other policy considerations.

Page 1 of 2

Planning authorities should identify the potential for regional impacts in their decision makingand coordinate strategic planning with their neighbours and other public bodies to achievesustainable development and effective and efficient use of resources.

71.02-431/07/2018VC148

TransitionalIf this planning scheme includes a Municipal Strategic Statement at Clause 21 and local planningpolicies at Clause 22, the provisions of Clauses 23.01, 23.02 and 23.03 apply. To the extent of anyinconsistency, Clauses 23.02 and 23.03 prevail over this clause.

MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT - CLAUSE 21.02 PAGE 1 OF 8


Foreshore

The Port Phillip coastline enjoys state significance for its ecological and environmental value. The City of Kingston has the largest stretch of coastline in a single municipality in metropolitan Melbourne.

Non Urban Land

Kingston’s non urban areas are part of a south eastern regional wedge of non urban land, which extends across the Cities of Greater Dandenong, Frankston, Casey and Kingston.

Moorabbin Airport

The Moorabbin Airport plays a major role within the State’s economic and transport infrastructure. Long term protection of its flight paths is required to optimise its potential for future growth.

Open Space

Several recreational and open space areas in Kingston generate demand across a regional catchment. The proposed Chain of Parks which will extend across the northern parts of the municipality and join with open space networks in the City of Greater Dandenong will also contribute to satisfying regional open space needs.

Environment

Kingston is located at the receiving end of a regional catchment system and shares responsibility for integrated catchment management with adjoining municipalities and a range of public agencies.

Industry/employment

Kingston has the highest concentration of manufacturing employment in metropolitan Melbourne, and is therefore a major provider of jobs to the south-east metropolitan region.

Southland Principal Activity Centre

The Southland Principal Activity Centre continues to have a major retailing presence within the region. Further diversifying its mix of uses through sustained public and private investment will be vital in strengthening its regional status.

Transport corridors

A number of major north-south and east-west arterial routes traverse the municipality linking the region’s industrial and commercial areas to local, interstate and international markets. The Frankston Railway line also links Kingston’s residents to the CBD and Frankston. Completion of the proposed Dingley Freeway will further enhance the municipality’s role in the regional transport network.

21.02-3 Municipal overview 15/01/2009 C75

Kingston is one of the largest and most physically diverse municipalities in metropolitan Melbourne, comprising an area of approximately 91 square kilometres. It combines substantial residential areas with vibrant activity centres, agricultural and non urban areas,



as well as an industrial sector which forms one of the largest and most concentrated manufacturing regions in metropolitan Melbourne.

Its diverse natural environments incorporate significant parklands, wetlands, open space and waterways, as well as the largest stretch of coast in a single municipality in metropolitan Melbourne. The City’s regional prominence is also heightened by the presence of the Moorabbin Airport, which is recognised as one of the busiest airports in Australia.

People

The City of Kingston is home to around 135,000 people, with approximately 54,000 households scattered throughout the municipality. It is expected that Kingston’s population will increase over the next 15 years reaching a figure of approximately 151,000 by 2021.

Like many other metropolitan areas across Melbourne, Kingston’s population is an ageing one. 2001 Census figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicate that around 31% of people in Kingston are aged over 50, with 19.3% of the population aged over 60. These proportions are considerably higher than the Melbourne average, which stand at 27% and 16% respectively.

The people of Kingston are therefore slightly older than the Melbourne average, with less people in the 0-39 age group and more people aged over 50 years. In the 15 years from 1986 to 2001, the proportion of the Kingston population aged over 70 increased from 7.5% to 11%, which further confirms the municipality’s trend towards an ageing population.

A City of Diversity

At a municipal wide level Kingston’s demographic profile is not dissimilar to the Melbourne average. A much higher degree of diversity becomes apparent, however, when the characteristics of smaller neighbourhoods are examined across the municipality.

For instance, at a localised level, Kingston is simultaneously faced with ageing populations in its established suburbs and growing numbers of young families in its newer suburbs.

Major variations include:

Higher proportions of people aged over 60 years concentrated in:

Kingston’s bayside suburbs (22%).

These concentrations may be attributed to a range of factors including historical settlement patterns, characteristics of housing stock, access to transport and services, etc.

Higher proportions of children and younger people concentrated in Aspendale Gardens and Patterson Lakes:

Aspendale Gardens accommodates a higher proportion of pre-school aged children than the City of Casey, which is one of Melbourne’s designated growth areas.

Marked variations in income levels across the municipality:

Higher proportion of high income households in Patterson Lakes, Dingley Village and Mentone.

Higher proportion of low income households in Chelsea, Edithvale and Clarinda.

High ethnic diversity in Clayton South, Clarinda and Oakleigh South:

40% of people in Clarinda speak only English at home.

32% of people in Clayton South speak only English at home.

This compares with 73% for the whole municipality and 69% for the Melbourne average.

Housing

Detached housing remains the predominant housing form in Kingston, accommodating around 80% of our population. Although most of Kingston’s residential areas are characterised by single detached dwellings on conventional lots, the City does offer a range of housing choices, including medium and high density housing developments.

Kingston’s residential areas contain a variety of housing styles and types, varying from post war homes in Moorabbin and Clayton South, through to newer and larger dwellings in Patterson Lakes and Aspendale Gardens.

The future housing needs of Kingston residents will be influenced by the following demographic indicators:

Around 53% of Kingston households are currently only one or two person households.

Average size of households in Kingston:

Has decreased from 2.9 in 1981 to 2.5 in 2001.

Is projected to fall to 2.31 by 2021.

Industry

Kingston is one of the largest and most concentrated manufacturing bases in metropolitan Melbourne. The municipality has over 4,000 manufacturing businesses which provide employment for over 25,000 people, representing around 10% of Melbourne’s manufacturing jobs.

Locations for industry range from older established areas in Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Braeside, which accommodate small to medium sized industries, to newer estates at Redwood Gardens, Parkview and Woodlands, which are generally within a garden setting and provide for medium to large scale firms.

Employment

Kingston is one of Victoria’s most important centres of commerce and industry, with over 66,000 people relying on around 7,000 businesses in Kingston for their employment.

Kingston has a significantly higher proportion of its workforce employed in ‘blue collar’ occupations than the Melbourne average, which may be attributed to the high concentration of manufacturing jobs in Kingston.

There are lower proportions of people in Kingston employed in managerial or professional occupations, with only 25% represented in this sector as compared to 29% for Melbourne as a whole.

Retail and commerce

The pattern of retail and commercial land use in Kingston is characterised by a diverse mix and size of activity centres. The Southland Principal Activity Centre provides the major regional focus for retail and entertainment activity within the municipality, and in the future will play a further diversified role..

A number of restricted retail (bulky goods) precincts exist along the Nepean Highway between Moorabbin and Parkdale as well as an established precinct on Warrigal Road, Heatherton.

Other major and neighbourhood activity centres are generally clustered on the main traffic routes through the municipality, and perform a range of different functions in the retail hierarchy.

Several commercial office precincts flank the Nepean Highway particularly through Moorabbin and Cheltenham which generally complement the role performed by surrounding retail activity centres.

The land which is not required for aviation purposes at the Moorabbin Airport is becoming increasingly utilised for a diversity of retail and commercial activities.



Open space

Kingston’s natural open space areas are one of our most highly valued resources. Open space areas in Kingston include major parklands, golf courses, foreshore reserves, wetlands and potential regional open space networks to be provided for through the Chain of Parks project.

Kingston’s open spaces also cater for the more traditional leisure and recreational demands of the community, through a wide variety of unstructured open space areas and sporting and active recreational facilities, including the Kingston Heath Reserve, Bicentennial Park, Bradshaw Park and the Sir William Fry Reserve.

A significant proportion of privately owned open space also contributes to the landscape character and open space qualities of the municipality, provided through a range of private golf courses, agricultural holdings and non urban land. Kingston enjoys a significant reputation for its world class golf courses, with continuing community demand likely to consolidate golf as a prominent recreational activity within Kingston.

Non urban land

Kingston’s non urban areas extend across the northern and eastern parts of the municipality, including Heatherton/Clayton South and Braeside/Keysborough. These areas form part of a south eastern regional wedge of non urban land which traverses the Cities of Kingston, Greater Dandenong, Frankston and Casey to Westernport Bay.

Kingston’s non urban land fulfils a range of rural and ‘urban related’ roles, including agricultural production, sand extraction, land filling, regional open space, protection of Moorabbin Airport’s flight paths, nature conservation, and a location for urban related uses including churches, sporting facilities, institutional uses, etc.

The non urban areas comprise a largely rural landscape character, and although some areas have developed a semi-urban appearance the re-creation of pre-settlement landscapes remains an important objective in Kingston’s non urban areas. The area also plays an important role in providing recreational opportunities for the south east metropolitan area. The future transformation of the non urban area into a carefully managed network of parks will bestow community benefits of the highest order, following years of blight brought about by the negative impacts of sand extraction and land filling.

The Moorabbin Airport is located within Kingston’s non urban area and plays a significant role within the State’s economic and transport infrastructure. It operates as the third busiest airport in Australia. The contribution that Moorabbin Airport makes to the local and regional economies is enhanced by the associated aviation and aviation related industrial/commercial activities located on the airport, which supply a significant number of jobs to the local economy.

Based on future growth forecasts the airport is likely to play an increasingly significant role within the region and should therefore be protected from development which may constrain its potential for future growth.

Environment and heritage

The environmental landscape of the City of Kingston is recognised for its diversity and significance in both a local and regional context. It includes the Port Phillip Bay and foreshore reserve, other natural and man-made waterways, wetland systems, floodplains, heathlands and significant flora and fauna habitats.

Other environmentally significant areas within Kingston include Braeside Park, the Grange Reserve, Bradshaw Park, Karkarook Park, the Patterson River, Mordialloc Creek, and the Edithvale/Seaford Wetlands, which are presently under consideration by RAMSAR for inclusion as an internationally significant wetland.



Kingston will continue to identify sites with historical significance as part of its heritage study.

Kingston’s wide range of heritage buildings and places demonstrate the city’s growth and assist with the interpretation of the city’s layers of history.

There are a number of significant residential, commercial, industrial, and community buildings and areas in the municipality of local, state and national significance, some protected by Heritage Overlays and others potentially suitable for heritage protection.

While some of the old industries and uses have declined and buildings of past architectural styles and development patterns have disappeared, remnants of the city’s historical features remain a testament to the area’s heritage. Retaining and conserving this history is important for this and future communities.

Traffic and transport

An extensive transport network serves the municipality which provides linkages to the wider metropolitan region. Major future transport corridors within the City include the proposed Mornington Peninsula Freeway extension, Westall Road carriageway duplication, and the proposed Dingley Freeway.

Significant pressure exists on the city’s limited east-west transport linkages, which connect the established industrial areas in the east to the Nepean Highway and greater Melbourne in the west.

The Melbourne-Frankston railway line follows the coastline and includes eight stations in the municipality, whilst the Melbourne-Dandenong railway line traverses through the top north-east corner with Westall Station. Limited bus services also link the City’s established residential areas to its key activity centres and rail station. Public transport services are less well provided for in the newer residential areas around Patterson Lakes and Aspendale Gardens.

Kingston also has a developing network of bicycle trails, which are being further developed particularly around the Port Phillip Bay and between residential and major open space areas as part of the Kingston Bicycle Strategy.




21.03 LAND USE CHALLENGES FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

The development of the Kingston Planning Scheme has been strongly guided by Council’sunderstanding of the critical land use issues which are likely to challenge Kingston’s futuregrowth and development into the new millennium.

A brief summary of the key land use issues which Council has identified is provided below.

Future housing need

Kingston’s population is continuing to age at a faster rate than the metropolitan average.The ageing of the population, coupled with the metropolitan wide trend towards smallerhousehold size, may lead to a significant imbalance in future decades between the type ofhousing stock available in Kingston and the actual housing needs of the population.

The need to provide suitable housing stock which meets the future housing needs of ourpopulation and to sustain an appropriate mix of supporting urban infrastructure willcontinue to provide a focus for Council’s residential land use planning.

Residential amenity and neighbourhood character

Recent pressures for redevelopment, consolidation and medium density housing within theCity’s residential environments have contributed to a sense of change in the character andamenity of local neighbourhoods. Management of change within our suburbs will requirean approach which integrates urban consolidation objectives with an understanding of thespecific character issues which are important to each local neighbourhood within Kingston.

Retailing changes - activity centre sustainability

Over the past decade, despite relatively modest population growth, the City has witnessedsubstantial changes across its retail sector through investments at Southland, MoorabbinAirport and in the emergence of homemaker centres at Moorabbin, Heatherton andMentone. Ensuring that future planning decisions prioritise the facilitation of retailreinvestment into Kingston, activity centres will be vital in successfully achievingmetropolitan planning objectives.

Industrial revitalisation

Industry trends indicate that Kingston will continue to play a major role within themanufacturing sector in both a regional and state context. The City’s older industrial areashowever are in need of significant revitalisation if they are to remain viable locations formodern manufacturing businesses. Significant infrastructure funding will be required ifCouncil is to provide assistance to these industries to overcome the major physicalconstraints which currently inhibit their efficiency and operation.

Foreshore enhancement

The Kingston Foreshore will continue to experience pressures for new tourism, recreationaland commercial related development, with Mordialloc standing out within the coastalhierarchy as a major focus for the exploration of new development opportunities.Balancing opportunities which enhance the overall foreshore experience with the need toprotect the integrity of natural coastal ecosystems will be the major challenge facingCouncil in its future foreshore management role.

15/10/2015C143



Protecting and enhancing ecological value

The integrity of many of Kingston’s pre-settlement natural ecosystems has been degradedover time as a result of the impacts of urbanisation and environmental negligence in keyremnant natural areas. Opportunities to enhance the quality and ecological value ofKingston’s natural environments exist through improved management of urban stormwater,land use and resource management, and integrated catchment planning.

Council’s future management of its natural environments will continue to give priority toinitiatives which offer the potential for re-establishment of wetland morphologies,indigenous vegetation, and flora and fauna habitats, and seek to improve water quality,flood storage and ecological value.

Sustainable management of the Green Wedge

Kingston’s Green Wedge will continue to experience significant pressure for moreintensive urban development as a result of changing metropolitan growth patterns, theavailability of physical infrastructure, diminishing extractive resources and a decline in thearea’s agricultural production.

The sustainable management of Kingston’s Green Wedge is one of the largest challengesfacing the City. Specific issues affecting this area include:

Agriculture

The long-term role of the agricultural industry within Kingston’s Green Wedge is unclear.The future of intensive agriculture particularly in the Heatherton region will be stronglyinfluenced by external factors such as international markets, changes in technology, etc.

Extractive industry

Extractive industries were a feature of Kingston’s Green Wedge and these havepredominantly now been filled with waste of varying types and over many years. Whilstmany of the landfill operations are now coming to a close, there remain a number ofworking facilities. At the current rate of tipping, it is expected that landfills will beoperational in this area for at least another 5 years. These operations will be phased out,whilst the filling of extraction pits needs to be coordinated under the Metropolitan Wasteand Resource Recovery Strategic Plan to ensure that rehabilitation after completion is wellplanned. The after use of these sites will need to be managed where alternative uses thathave the potential to detrimentally impact on the amenity of the locality will be activelydiscouraged.

Sandbelt open space strategy

Rehabilitation of landfill sites should be properly co-ordinated to provide for the timelydevelopment of regional open space networks through the Sandbelt Open Space Strategy.

Moorabbin airport

The viability of the aviation activities on the Moorabbin Airport will depend upon the long-term protection of its flight paths from inappropriate development.

Non urban interface

Land on the urban fringe often exists as a ‘zone of impermanence’ where the use of land isin a state of transition from non-urban to urban uses. This pattern creates uncertainty and



instability for land owners and the community alike, and can frequently result in urbanblight along the urban/non urban interface. The creation of a ‘hard’ edge will be animportant planning outcome of future structure planning in Kingston’s non urban areas.Such edges must be clear, stable and capable of enduring development pressure.

Managing transport

Existing capacity deficiencies in the municipality’s north-south and east-west arterialroutes is causing ongoing conflict between arterial traffic and sensitive abutting land uses.Council will continue to advocate for improvements to the primary arterial network and theconstruction of missing links in the regional network to assist in reducing the impact ofheavy traffic on Kingston’s local road network.

21.06 RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LAND USE

21.06-1 Overview

Over the past decade substantial retail and commercial development has occurred,particularly in the northern and central segments of Kingston. This includes a sizeableexpansion of the Southland Principal Activity Centre, substantive expansion of retail andcommercial activities at the Moorabbin Airport and the establishment of new homemakercentres in Moorabbin, Heatherton and Mentone. As a result, the key challenge becomes theneed to ensure the ongoing sustainability of Kingston’s established activity centres whichform the cornerstone of achieving key objectives outlined in the Metropolitan Strategy.

Much of the recent investment has primarily been in the area of discretionary retailingeither through varied new forms of retail provision at an expanded Southland or the growthin restricted retailing (bulky goods) which has emerged through the arrival of newhomemaker centres typically outside the established Activity Centres. Upon reviewing keyeconomic indicators, demographic projections and observing further sizeable retailinvestment on the periphery of Kingston, it has become apparent that the challenge over thenext decade becomes one of monitoring established retailing locations and restrictedretailing precincts. Additional ‘out of centre’ development will be discouraged. Theimplications of any retail activities at the Moorabbin Airport need to be closely monitored.

Despite recent changes in the nature of retailing activity strip centres remain an importantpart of the City’s retail scene and there is a need to support such centres by ensuring thatdecisions on new retail proposals underpin rather than undermine these centres.

There is a need for new supermarket investment, particularly in the central and southernsections of the municipality, to provide existing communities with greater choice andencourage higher utilisation of activity centres. Diversification of land use activity toincorporate residential/mixed use activity and the development of specialist niche marketstrengths remains one of the key challenges to be met by centres across the identifiedactivity centre hierarchy.

Reducing the proportion of new housing situated away from activity centres presentsopportunities to encourage contemporary mixed use development to act as a catalyst forongoing renewal across Kingston’s Activity Centres. With one principal and five majoractivity centres within the municipality, activity centre structure planning will continue toplay a vital role in identifying new opportunities to facilitate both public and privateinvestment.

Notably the education and employment profile of Kingston residents will continue tochange, presenting an opportunity to further diversify the already strong employmentoptions it presents. In seeking to respond to an increasingly educated local workforce, theneed to further diversify commercial office development across the municipality remainsvital. The emergence of office precincts at the Moorabbin Airport and Parkview Estatereinforce a move towards campus style office precincts which differ from the historicalsuburban ‘in centre’ model.

21.06-2 Key issues

Diversifying the role of Kingston’s Activity Centres by responding to the impacts ofstructural change in the retail industry (i.e.: changes in retail offer, changes inemployment patterns, consumer behaviour, extended trading hours).

Ensuring the consolidation of retailing activity within existing commercial centres.

Development of local advantages and specialist niche markets by better understandingconsumer behaviour and centre positioning.

12/03/2015C121

15/01/2009C75

15/01/2009C75



The need to strengthen the ability for residents living in the central and southern partsof the municipality to do weekly shopping in local centres.

Recognising the significant local and regional supply of restricted retailing (bulkygoods) which has emerged over recent years and the need to limit activity within thissector to the consolidation of existing restricted retailing precincts and designatedactivity centres.

Traditional strip centres with sometimes poor physical image, lack of cohesiveness andpoor accessibility.

In responding to the demographic profile of the municipality, ensure existing and newcommercial (office) development provides sufficient differentiation to further diversifyKingston’s employment base.

Ensure that planning decisions at all levels have regard to the continual growth of nonaviation related activities at the Moorabbin Airport.

21.06-3 Objectives, strategies and implementation

Objective 1

Objective 2

To reinforce the existing role of the Southland Principal Activity Centre complemented bythe adjacent Cheltenham Major Activity Centre as the predominant regional focus for retailactivity and for entertainment, community, professional services and business services.

Strategies


Encourage the development of precincts within the activity centres for a range retail,office, commercial, restricted retail community services, medical, entertainment, andmedium to higher density residential purposes.

Further strengthen the role of the centres to provide community, leisure, recreation andentertainment facilities to provide a focal point for community and social interaction.

Explore opportunities to further diversify the transport options available to access theactivity centres through both public and private infrastructure investment.

Ensure that the visual and physical presentation particularly along the Nepean Highwayreinforces the regional significance of the activity centre precinct through contemporaryurban design and landscaped themes.

Promote opportunities to further integrate at a pedestrian scale, key peripheral areasincluding the Bayside Industrial Area, Sir William Fry Reserve, former Gas and Fuelsite and other key community facilities with the adjacent activity centre.

Objective 3

To reinforce the different built form character and function of activity centres consistentwith their position in the activity centre hierarchy.

Strategies


Ensure activity centre structure plans provide direction in respect of:

Reinforcing the role the Nepean Highway and Frankston Train Line perform inlinking Kingston’s principal and major activity centres.

Enhancement of the character and physical image of the centre.

Improvements to car parking and vehicular traffic management.

Opportunities to strengthen the role of public transport, walking and cycling as ameans of accessing centres.

Identification of scale and built form parameters for particular locations within theactivity centre.

Upgrading and beautification of streetscapes (ie tree planting) through urban designworks to promote high levels of pedestrian activity.

Opportunities to enhance retail mix, land use diversification (including mediumdensity development opportunities) and development of specialist niche markets.

Identification of desired mix and location of land use activity.



Guidelines on the scale and design of all new buildings and advertising signage.

Establish clearly definable activity centre boundaries and reflect those boundaries throughthe form of development, land use and other design tools.

Objective 4

To effectively respond to the evolving nature of the commercial (office) market.

Strategies


Monitor the supply of additional office floorspace in areas proximate to the City ofKingston including the Bayside Industrial Area and the Frankston and DandenongPrincipal Activity Centres.

21.07 INDUSTRIAL LAND USE

21.07-1 Overview

The importance of the manufacturing industry in Kingston extends well beyond themunicipal boundaries - output from Kingston’s industries is of both state and nationalsignificance.In recent years the manufacturing sector (at both the national and international level) hassuffered as a consequence of global economic restructuring. However, industries inKingston are better placed than other areas to respond to such restructuring due to thearea’s diverse manufacturing base, high concentrations of industrial activity, centrallocation to markets and a skilled labour force, and good access to transport andinfrastructure.Whilst in recent decades there has been a relatively large supply of vacant industrial land inthis region, this land supply is now diminishing - particularly the supply of largerallotments. The potential future development of industry at Moorabbin Airport is likely toincrease the availability of industrial land in the region. A continued emphasis on theachievement of high amenity, well landscaped settings for new industrial estatedevelopment will also enhance the attractiveness of the municipality as a destination foroffice/industrial headquarters.In contrast, the City’s older industrial areas are in need of significant revitalisation in orderto remain viable locations for modern manufacturing businesses. The smaller, isolatedpockets of industrial land are no longer appropriate or viable locations for industry.However, larger areas such as Moorabbin and Mordialloc/Braeside form the traditionalbackbone of smaller scale manufacturing in the south-east region of Melbourne. Despitetheir age and physical constraints, these areas will continue to play an important role ingenerating jobs and wealth for many years to come.

21.07-2 Key issues

Significant areas of ageing, small industrial premises with restricted potential forgrowth due to land and building size, ageing infrastructure and poor access,loading and parking facilities.

Poor image and presentation of older industrial areas. Pressure for retail and office development in older industrial areas. Sustained demand for new high quality integrated industrial estates. Limited supply of new land and buildings to meet the needs of expanding and

new manufacturing operations. Risk of ad-hoc development of remaining vacant industrial land. Small, isolated pockets of older industrial development located within residential

areas. Poor interface between many existing larger industrial and residential areas.

21.07-3 Objectives, strategies and implementation

Objective 1

21.12 TRANSPORT, MOVEMENT AND ACCESS 15/01/2009 C75

21.12-1 Overview 19/01/2006 VC37

An efficient and accessible arterial transport network is a vital requirement for Kingston’s industries and businesses, both in terms of facilitating efficient commercial and freight movements to local, interstate and international markets, and in linking residents to their places of employment.

A balanced transport network based on public transport, road, pedestrian and cycle systems is also important in providing access for Kingston residents to commercial and activity centres, community facilities, education and recreation areas. Increasing the range of transport choices available to Kingston’s residents will be necessary however if the changing transport needs of our ageing population are to be met.

The sustainability of Kingston’s transport network is also dependent upon future improvements to the primary arterial network. Several roads in Kingston are operating at or near capacity, and significant deficiencies have also been identified in Kingston’s north-south and east-west arterial road connections. The impact of missing links in the primary arterial network has direct implications for inter/intra-regional movement patterns and the efficiency of local and industrial traffic movements throughout the municipality. Poor linkages between industrial precincts and the major arterial road network also cause significant conflict between industrial traffic and abutting land use.

Future improvements to the primary arterial network and the construction of missing links in regional networks will assist in reducing the impact of heavy traffic on Kingston’s local traffic networks. Council’s role in advocating for improvements to the arterial network must therefore be coordinated on a regional basis.

21.12-2 Key issues 19/01/2006 VC37

Capacity deficiencies for both north-south and east-west traffic leading to conflicts between arterial traffic and abutting land use.

High volumes of industrial traffic on roads which are operating at or near capacity.

Retail/commercial activity centres located on main arterial roads experiencing high volumes of arterial through traffic which causes conflict with local user movements.

Protection of residential areas from industrial through traffic.

Need for improvements to key freight routes.

Conflict between the traffic and non traffic functions of key scenic roads, particularly Beach Road.

Poor linkages in some areas between industrial precincts and major arterial road network.

Inadequate road widths and parking facilities within older industrial areas inhibiting accessibility and movement within and around these areas.

21.12-3 Objectives, strategies and implementation 15/01/2009 C75

Objective 1

To create a safe, convenient and efficient road network based on a functional hierarchy of local and regional road linkages, which meets the transport and freight needs of Kingston’s residents, businesses, and through traffic.



Strategies


Advocate for major road infrastructure construction in key priority areas including the Dingley Freeway (to Boundary Road, then to Springvale Road), the extension of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, and the Scoresby Freeway to assist regional movements in a north-south direction.

Reinforce the road hierarchy recommended by the Kingston Transport Strategy to ensure that the function of the arterial and local roads, particularly adjacent to residential and shopping areas are maintained.

Promote the completion of direct and continuous arterial routes which address existing north-south and east west deficiencies in Kingston’s arterial road network and improve regional movements of freight and industrial traffic.

Support the development of major road infrastructure projects and other traffic management initiatives which assist in containing freight traffic within Kingston’s main arterial corridors.

Ensure that the new development adjacent to major arterial roads seeks to minimise the impact on traffic movements on the adjoining road network and provides:

Safe and efficient access.

Adequate and well located car parking areas.

A detailed traffic assessment where the development is likely to significantly increase traffic volumes/movement on the adjoining road network.

Details of required intersection treatments where appropriate.

Investigate the reconstruction of roadway and parking facilities within the road reservation in the older industrial areas, particularly in Moorabbin and Mordialloc, to improve road widths and parking facilities.

Encourage improvements to traffic circulation, car parking, site layout and truck access to sites within Kingston’s older industrial areas.

Objective 2

To integrate public transport, road, pedestrian and cycle systems with activity centres, schools and other community and social infrastructure, as a means of providing equitable and safe vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist movement and access for the community.

Strategies


Advocate for improvements to the capacity and frequency of the existing public transport network and the development of integrated public transport interchanges at existing activity centres of Southland, Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc and Chelsea.

Promote the development of bicycle and pedestrian linkages between residential, commercial, industrial and open space areas recognising the important role east/west alignments play by intersecting the key arterial roads and the rail corridor.

Encourage opportunities for non car based travel by maximising access to public transport, pedestrian and cycling routes.



Objective 3

To protect and enhance the amenity of Kingston’s residential areas and other sensitive land uses through appropriate management of transport networks.

Strategies


Improve connections between industrial precincts and primary arterial routes to reduce congestion on the local network and to minimise conflict with abutting land uses.

Protect the amenity of residential areas by minimising interaction between industrial traffic and residential areas.

Promote and enhance the tourism and scenic functions of the Beach Road route.

Ensure that traffic management of Beach Road and other key scenic routes seeks to balance the traffic and non traffic functions of the road.

Ensure that suitable land use buffers and noise protection measures are taken into account in the siting and design of new development adjacent to freeway reserves.

Implementation

These strategies will be implemented by:

Policy and exercise of discretion

Discouraging land use and development proposals which are not compatible with the identified hierarchy function of the surrounding road network and generate significant adverse impacts on the amenity of surrounding land use.

Encouraging the diversion of freight/heavy traffic from Beach Road onto Nepean Highway and continue to support existing truck restrictions which apply to Beach Road.

Discouraging any further works on Beach Road to increase its traffic capacity.

Zones and overlays

Applying the Road Zone - Category 1 to all declared main roads to reflect their status under the Transport Act.

Applying the Road Zone - Category 2 to all secondary roads in Kingston.

Applying the Public Acquisition Overlay to the proposed Mornington Peninsula Freeway reservation and to all proposed road widenings.


Working in partnership with adjoining bayside municipalities (through the Eastern Bayside Traffic Committee) to prepare an integrated strategy plan for the protection and improvement of the Beach Road boulevard.

Working in partnership with Vic Roads and the land owners to prepare a strategy plan for the connection of the former Gas and Fuel land and adjoining industrial land to its south with Nepean Hwy to address additional traffic across and circulation measures without disruption to Nepean Hwy flows.



Working with adjoining Bayside municipalities to advocate for pedestrian and cycling path connections between the Lyle Anderson Reserve, and the Sir William Fry Reserve.

Preparing land use policies for Kingston’s major industrial areas which address traffic circulation and access, car parking, site layout, etc.

Other actions

Developing Local Area Traffic Management Plans.

Developing a long term road management program in conjunction with neighbouring municipalities and government agencies to determine priorities for the arterial network.

Implementing the recommendations of the Kingston Transport and Accessibility Strategy.



LOCAL PLANNING POLICIES - CLAUSE 22.15 PAGE 1 OF 11

22.15 OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNAGE POLICY

This policy applies to all land where a planning permit is required to construct or display a sign under the provisions of the Kingston Planning Scheme.

22.15-1 Policy basis

The Municipal Strategic Statement recognises the importance of commercial activity within the municipality. The display of outdoor advertising signage is an integral part of business communication. As such, whilst advertising plays a significant and necessary role, there must be a degree of control over its location, design, size and layout. Too many signs, or signs which are too large or inappropriate, can dominate the urban environment, particularly in areas of special character, or where signage is not an established part of the visual landscape. It is therefore important to ensure that excessive or inappropriate signage is avoided, particularly in sensitive locations. Signage should be effective in advertising a product or promoting a business, and complement its local setting and other nearby signs.

Due to the diversity of environments in Kingston, there is a need to promote different signage objectives and outcomes for various locations and environments. This policy provides guidelines for the location, design, size and layout of advertising signs to ensure that advertising is compatible with the character of the area and its local streetscape. It contains an overarching general set of objectives for all areas. Additionally, it contains specific objectives for shopping and commercial areas, office and industrial areas, residential and non commercial areas, main road areas, stand-alone and restricted retail areas, heritage areas, publicly owned land, major promotion signs and creative signs. A series of performance standards provide additional guidance and test applications as to how they respond to the objectives of this policy.

22.15-2 Objectives

To ensure excellence in the design and presentation of all outdoor advertising displays.

To ensure that commercial businesses are able to display sufficient signage to adequately identify their premises and promote their business and the goods and services they offer.

To ensure that signs achieve maximum effectiveness without being excessive in their size, height, number or appearance.

To protect visual amenity by avoiding visual disorder and clutter throughout the municipality.

To encourage the development of innovative signage that is appropriate to its setting.

To encourage, where appropriate, signs that contribute to the lively and attractive character of an area.

To ensure that signage does not obscure or detract from the architectural and historical qualities and features of the host, adjacent and or nearby buildings.

To ensure that the scale and form of signage is compatible with the size and style of the building, adjacent built form and land use, and the streetscape in which it is set.

To ensure that signage is located and designed with regard to safety and the operation of the road network.

To provide for the orderly display of signs.

15/03/2006 C47

15/03/2006 C47

15/03/2006 C47



To encourage the use of sign themes in commercial areas and to ensure that advertising signs are comparable with any advertising theme or pattern that has been developed for the area.

To ensure that advertising signs are well designed and well maintained to contribute to the appearance of buildings and streetscapes.

22.15-3 Policy

It is policy to:

General

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, pole signs, bunting signs, inflatable and blimp signs, high wall signs, and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage signage that detracts from the architectural quality of buildings or obscure architectural features.

Discourage any external lighting, electrical cables, conduits, supporting structures and other equipment associated with the signage, which detracts from the appearance of a building. Where possible such materials should be concealed from view, or unobtrusively located, and where appropriate painted to match the colour of the surface on which it is mounted.

Discourage signage that dominates the building to which it is fixed or the property on which it is sited.

Discourage the display of V-board signs in all areas, particularly when sited above verandahs, and, where appropriate to encourage their removal.

Discourage signs from being permanently or continually displayed on parked vehicles, trailers, caravans and the like in road reservations.

Encourage street numbers to be displayed to reduce the need for additional signage.

Encourage signage that respects the amenity of surrounding areas and uses.

Encourage signage which fits within architectural forms, is integrated with the architecture or is placed on blank wall surfaces.

Encourage wall or fascia signs to be directly applied to the building, and where projection occurs it should be minimal and vertically orientated (i.e. the height of the sign being greater than the width).

Encourage signs to be orientated either vertically or horizontally unless it can be demonstrated that an alternative orientation is appropriate due to the design of the sign or the area to which it is to be displayed.

Encourage a sign or associated supporting structure that is sited within the overall building facia, rather than siting above the building line, protruding from the building into the skyline or extending beyond any edge of its host building.

Encourage signs to be located on the land to which they relate.

Consider, when new signage is proposed, all existing signs on site and to encourage the consolidation of sign displays.

Consider the type and number of signs in an area to ensure they are generally proportional to the intensity of commercial activity and the complexity of the built form of the area.

15/03/2006 C47



Limit the impact of signs on surrounding sensitive uses such as residential areas and public land.

Limit the display of above verandah and upper level façade signage.

Over time, remove and replace inappropriate signs or inappropriately located signs that do not comply with this policy, or when new or replacement signs are installed, with more appropriate signs.

Reduce advertising clutter through the display of fewer, more effective signs.

Where appropriate, signage should be legible for people with a vision, physical, intellectual or other disability.

Shopping and commercial areas

Kingston’s commercial areas are an important part of the local economy, providing products and services to both the local and wider community. When considering signage in different centres the overall role of the centre needs to be understood. The level and type of signage within commercial areas should reflect and support the role of the retail centre, whilst providing for adequate business identification.

Discourage the display of animated signs, above verandah signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, pole signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, reflective signs, and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage signs that prevent views to ground level display windows.

Discourage the proliferation of above verandah signs and upper level façade signs, particularly in areas with no or minimal above verandah signage.

Discourage upper façade or above verandah signs particularly where the building is used for residential purposes such as shop-top housing and on larger mixed retail and residential developments.

Discourage the display of pole signs unless the use is setback from the street, the pole sign is located within the setback area, is contained within the site and the number of pole signs is limited to one per frontage.

Encourage a coordinated and consistent approach to be taken towards the design and location of signs in shopping centres.

Consider in a balanced manner the appropriateness of the display of illuminated signs, recognising the need to be respectful of their surroundings and nearby sensitive land uses.

Consider the number and type of signs in an area so that signs are responsive to the intensity of commercial activity, the complexity of the built form of the area and established approved signage patterns.

In areas where there is an approved established pattern of above verandah signage, limit the size and scale of above verandah and upper level facade signage, and limit signage to advertising the business name.

Limit under verandah (suspended) signs to one (1) per premises or frontage where appropriate.



Industrial and office areas

Kingston is host to a number of large industrial estates which play an important role for the municipality. Lower limitation controls for advertising signage are applied to these areas provided the design of the signage offers an appropriate response to its context.

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, major promotion signs, bunting signs, V-board signs and reflective signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage signs on perimeter fences promoting goods and services supplied on site.

Encourage the type and number of signs to be compatible with the appearance of the street and the identity of the area.

Encourage signs for individual businesses in joint occupancy buildings to be of a uniform size, shape and presentation.

Encourage business directory signs in industrial estates and shared occupancy areas.

Encourage a coordinated approach to advertising within large industrial areas and buildings with multiple occupancies.

Encourage advertising signs, which enhance the appearance of industrial buildings through their design, scale and location.

Encourage the use of architecturally innovative signs that demonstrate a regard to the form and role of the area.

Consider the type and number of signs in an area to ensure the levels of signage are reflective of the level and nature of activity in the area.

Consider where appropriate, existing signs on adjacent buildings and encourage a coordinated approach to sign locations, style and colours on adjoining buildings, which will contribute to an area design theme.

Allow the display of pole signs when the use and pole sign are significantly setback from the street. Pole signs should be in scale with the built form of the area, limited to one per frontage, and should not contribute to the proliferation of an advertising strip. If a proposed sign is in an area adjacent or near to a main road area, additional issues require consideration.

Figure 3: Appropriately located and sized window display, fascia and suspended below verandah signs. Above verandahsignage is applied directly to the host building.

Figure 1: Inappropriate signage forms in shopping areas (animated, bunting and pole signs, and signs that block or restrict vision.

Figure 2: Inappropriate above verandah signage (sky, V-board and projecting signs).



Residential areas

Within residential areas a high level of amenity is expected, with minimal intrusion from uses that are not part of the character of these areas.

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, panel signs, promotion signs, major promotion signs, pole signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, illuminated signs, reflective signs, V-board signs, above verandah signs and large business identification signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage signage that dominates the building, street, or views from adjoining residences.

Generally limit signage to what is necessary to simply identify the premises (i.e. small business identification and home occupation signs) and to where possible discourage signage from facing directly adjoining residences.

Limit the number of signs on site to one (1) per premises or frontage where applicable.

Minimise the impact of signs for non residential uses (such as a medical centre) so that they are low profile, present an orderly display and are of a scale that is respectful to its surroundings.

Figure 4: An appropriately scaled, sited and landscaped pole sign identifying a business in an industrial area.

Figure 5: One appropriately sited business directory sign identifies numerous businesses.

Figure 6: Business directory signs are encouraged in industrial estates, office park and shared tenancy situations.

Figure 7: Panel signs can be appropriate when in scale with the built form and character of the area and where they do not detract from nearby sensitive uses.

Figure 8: Large panel signs are appropriate when in scale with the built form and character of the area and do not detract from nearby sensitive uses.

Figure 9: Signage should not be displayed where it will impact on the amenity of residential or sensitive areas.



Main road areas

Signs along declared main roads offer opportunities for long distance visibility. A principal concern is the impact of signs on the amenity of the surrounding areas, the character of the streetscape, and road and pedestrian safety.

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, pole signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, reflective signs and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage clutter of major promotional signs, pole signs, panel signs, freestanding and mobile signs, high wall signs and sky signs.

Discourage signage which obscures major view lines.

Discourage the use of intermittent flashing signs or other potentially distracting elements on signs.

Encourage a high level of visual amenity in areas adjacent to main roads to be maintained.

Recognise that there are limited opportunities for major signage.

Consider the scale and size of promotional signage with regard to the size, scale and bulk of buildings in the surrounding area and any adjacent residential or sensitive land use areas.

Limit the scale and size of promotional signage so as to not dominate host buildings. Signs should not be greater in size than, or extend beyond any edge of host buildings.

Only permit the display of sky signs or major promotional signs where they do not dominate the skyline or landscape, and where signage and support structures are designed so that they do not contribute to or create visual clutter.

Restricted retail areas

Restricted retail uses are generally located adjacent to major roads. Advertising is important to these uses but excessive forms of advertising signage reduce its impact. Signage should be limited to business identification to avoid visual clutter and the proliferation of an advertising strip.

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, major promotion signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, reflective signs and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Encourage a minimum number of signs only to be used to identify premises.

Encourage signs where possible to be located on the main building or canopy.

Encourage signs to be sited so that they are confined to a non residential street frontage and their appearance is softened by landscaping.

Encourage, where appropriate, business directory signs in shared occupancy restricted retail areas to reduce visual clutter and excessive signage.

Allow the display of pole signs when the use and pole sign are significantly setback from the street. Pole signs should be in scale with the built form of the area, limited to one per frontage, and should not contribute to the proliferation of an advertising strip.

Consider the need for traffic and pedestrian control signs to assist with ease of pedestrian and vehicle movements.

Signage in heritage places



Kingston’s Heritage Study has identified a range of significant heritage sites and precinct areas across the municipality. Signage at these places, and where appropriate neighbouring land, should be discreet and complement the cultural significance of the place.

Discourage the display of animated signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, bunting signs, pole signs, high wall signs, illuminated signs, reflective signs and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage the siting of above verandah signs on heritage buildings.

Discourage the siting of illuminated signs on heritage buildings or in heritage precincts.

Discourage new signs painted on unpainted masonry walls of heritage places.

Discourage corporate image requirements and standard corporate signage on heritage buildings and in heritage precinct areas.

Encourage the retention of surviving early signs of high historic value, including permanent lettering cut into stone or in raised cement render, painted signs and the like.

Encourage advertising to be designed and located in a manner that conserves heritage places, protecting and enhancing what is valued about the building or place.

Consider the design and location of signs to ensure the significance, character and appearance of the heritage place is respected.

Consider whether, where appropriate, signs should be located where signs were traditionally located on heritage buildings.

Non urban areas

A variety of non urban uses in Heatherton, Clayton and Dingley occupy these areas including landfills, market gardens, churches and nurseries. In order to protect and enhance the rural and environmental character of these areas, signage should have a minimal impact and where possible offer improvements to the non urban landscape. Signs should generally relate to the use of the land and the scale of surrounding development.

Discourage the display of animated signs, pole signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, reflective signs, and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage signs on vacant or public land where they intrude on the amenity and appearance of the surrounding area.

Encourage landscaping around signs to soften their impact and appearance.

Figure 11: Examples of appropriately located signage that is sensitive to heritage buildings.



Consider whether signs are sympathetic to the landscape character of the area

Public land

Kingston is host to a number of land parcels reserved for public purposes. This land includes foreshore reserves, open space areas, railway land, schools and so on. These areas are afforded maximum signage limitation.

Discourage the display of animated signs, above verandah signs, sky signs, panel signs, major promotion signs, bunting signs, high wall signs, illuminated signs, reflective signs and V-board signs to reduce visual clutter.

Discourage the proliferation of signs given that visual clutter and the dominance of signs would reduce the landscape value and amenity of the area.

Encourage, where signs can be demonstrated to be appropriate or necessary particularly to local sports clubs, the appropriate location, siting, size and design of preferably non permanent signs, so as to have minimal impact on surroundings.

Limit signs on sporting grounds and grandstands which would be visible from surrounding parkland.

Major promotion signs

Major promotion signs can be visually dominant features in a landscape and therefore their siting and frequency need to be carefully controlled. Kingston has a significant number of sites where major promotional signage is displayed and will therefore discourage additional major promotional signage.

Discourage major promotion signs and limit their display to sites within the municipality where major promotion signs are already located.

Discourage the siting of major promotion signs in locations overlooking open space areas, parkland or residential areas.

Limit the scale and size of major promotion signs so as to not dominate or project above host buildings or supporting structures.

Generally, only permit the display of major promotion and promotional signs at focal points such as major or regional commercial centres on main roads, industrial estates or on major transport routes, where they are in scale with the built form of the immediate locality.

Consider that any major promotion signs or sky signs should be spaced at a sufficient distance to ensure they do not dominate the overall setting, and their advertising impact is not reduced.



Creative signs

Signage that does not generally comply with the requirements of this policy may be permitted if, in the opinion of the responsible authority, it is considered to have particular creative or artistic merit and will make a significant positive contribution to the streetscape and character of the locality. Creative signs may include signage which:

Is related to historical, cultural or architectural themes found in the locality.

Is designed by local artists, has artistic or sculptural merit and has high visual quality.

Recreates or reinterprets a known earlier historic sign.

Helps to reinforce or establish a theme or character of a particular neighbourhood or locality

22.15-4 Performance standards

Signs are considered to be appropriate when it can be demonstrated that they meet the criteria below. The following performance standards are deemed to satisfy some aspects of the policy objectives outlined above. Proposals that do not meet these criteria may still meet the objectives of this policy.

It is policy that proposals are assessed against the following criteria:

General

New applications for signage result in an overall improved presentation of advertising signage for the premises.

Where appropriate signs are positioned and designed to fit within spaces created by architectural elements on the host building.

Large supporting frameworks for signs are avoided.

Wall signs do not cover the architectural features or detailing of a building and are sized in proportion with parapets, panels, windows and wall areas.

Signs are not duplicated.

Sign space is shared between multiple occupancies.

Fewer signs convey multiple messages.

Figure 12: Major promotional signage dominates the host building and area generally.

Figure 13: Major promotional signage is inappropriately located above the host building’s roofline, and lighting and supporting structures add to visual clutter.

15/03/2006 C47



Signs are not located on walls facing residential uses or the entrance to residential streets unless the use is in a residential area and the sign is on the frontage of the site.

Permanent signs on display windows cover no more than 25% of the display window.

Signs do not obscure a motorist’s view of pedestrians and vice versa, or obscure views to nearby pedestrian and traffic signal facilities.

Illuminated signs

Illuminated signs are not displayed in residential areas.

If in residential areas it can be demonstrated that illumination is necessary, illumination is minimal, there is no glare or light spillage, and any lighting equipment is concealed from view.

Illuminated signs do not cause light spill or glare into residential or sensitive use areas.

Illuminated signs are of a form, colour or illuminance that will not cause distraction or conflict with nearby motorists, pedestrians and traffic signal facilities.

The preferred location for illuminated signs is suspended below verandah or on display window (neon type).

Where an illuminated sign is proposed with an upper façade level siting, it is in an area where such a pattern is already generally established and approved, has a minimal projection and a vertical orientation

Upper façade level and above verandah signs

Signs are not installed at upper façade level in centres where there are limited or no signs in such locations.

Signs respect or contribute to the architectural and built form qualities of host and adjacent buildings.

Signs do not block view lines or create or contribute to visual clutter.

Where a projecting wall sign is proposed, it is in an area where such a pattern is already generally established and approved.

Projecting wall signs have a minimal projection and have a vertical orientation.

Where illumination is proposed for upper façade level signs, there is minimal glare and light spillage, and is in an area where such a pattern is generally established and approved

Residential areas

Signs in residential and non commercial areas are business identification signs only and are of a respectful scale and do not dominate the setting.

Use of colours and materials in signage has regard to the character and amenity of the area.

Signs on sites in non commercial areas are limited to one (1) per frontage.

The impact of signage is minimised by landscaping used to soften its appearance.

Freestanding signs are oriented to be parallel to the street or frontage.



Where illumination can be demonstrated to be necessary, signs are only illuminated during the premises operating hours.

Signage is located on site in a way that it is clearly visible to passers by, so that its size is of a small, respectful scale whilst still achieving adequate exposure.

Main road areas

Signs do not contribute to a safety hazard or potentially distract motorists or pedestrians through the type or level of illumination, colours or form of advertising.

Landscaping around signs is used to soften their impact and appearance.

Signs do not obscure major view lines.

Signs do not dominate the landscape or host buildings and are in scale with their surroundings.

Non urban areas and public land

In the opinion of the responsible authority, signs do not reduce the visual quality of the setting through their size, scale, content or placement.

Heritage places

In the opinion of the responsible authority, the size, scale, placement and design of signs do not adversely effect the significance, architectural character and appearance of a heritage place or area.

22.12-5 Application requirements

An application to erect, install or display advertising signage must include three (3) copies of plans drawn to scale at either 1:100 or 1:200 and fully dimensioned showing:

The location of the proposed sign on the site or building and distance from property boundaries.

The dimensions, height above ground level and extent of projection of the proposed sign.

Details of any form of illumination.

The colour, content, lettering style and materials of the proposed sign.

Any landscaping details if applicable.

The structure of the sign and method of support.

The location and size of existing signage on the site including details of any signs to be retained or removed.

LOCAL PLANNING POLICIES – CLAUSE 22.20 PAGE 1 OF 3

22.20 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

This policy applies to developments that require a planning permit in accordance with thethresholds in Table 1 of this Policy.

22.20-1 Policy Basis

The City of Kingston recognises that stormwater runoff from our streets, roofs, and otherimpervious areas have a negative impact on downstream receiving waters includingMordialloc Creek, Patterson River and Port Phillip Bay.Increased development can increase the amount of hard and impervious surfaces such asbuildings, roads and car parks and change the volume, velocity and quality of stormwaterdrainage into natural waterways. The majority of the rain that falls in urban areas isconverted into stormwater. Traditional stormwater management practices directstormwater into urban waterways affecting the health and amenity of our waterways.Large volumes of stormwater can cause flooding that damages both natural and builtenvironments.Integrating Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) to capture, treat and reuse stormwateronsite can significantly improve the quality and quantity of water entering our waterways.Stormwater treatments can take various forms including wetlands, bio-retention systems,storage tanks, and the use of different paving.This policy provides a framework for early consideration of stormwater management andWSUD at the initial building design stage in order to achieve improved stormwater quality.It implements the best practice performance objective outlined in the Urban StormwaterBest Practice Environmental Management Guidelines, CSIRO 1999 to achieve theobjectives of the State Environment Protection Policy (Water of Victoria).

22.20-2 Objectives

To improve the water quality of stormwater run-off. To reduce the impact of stormwater run-off. To incorporate the use of WSUD in development including stormwater reuse. To ensure that developments designed to meet the best practice performance

objectives for suspended solids, total phosphorus and total nitrogen, as set out inthe Urban Stormwater – Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines,(Victoria Stormwater Committee 1999) as amended.

22.20-3 Policy

It is policy that prior to the commencement of development a drainage declarationcompleted to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority explaining how the requirementsand objectives of this policy will be met be provided for: Residential and/or mixed use developments of 1 to 2 dwellings. Residential developments and/or mixed use developments with a new building

gross floor area less than 500 m2. Non-residential developments with a new gross floor area less than 500 m2.It is policy that applications for the types of developments listed in Table 1 beaccompanied, as appropriate, by information which demonstrates how relevant policyobjectives will be achieved.

22.20-4 Application requirements

An application must be accompanied, as appropriate, by the information as specified inTable 1.
