AMENDMENT C69moyn

EXPLANATORY REPORT

Who is the planning authority?

This amendment has been prepared by the Moyne Shire Council, which is the planning authority for this amendment.

The Amendment has been made at the request of the Moyne Shire Council.

Land affected by the Amendment

The Amendment applies to all land within the Port Fairy township and surrounds as shown on the map below.

Page 2: MOYNE PLANNING SCHEME€¦ · Web viewPlanning for sea level rise of not less than 0.8 metres by 2100 (1.2 metres as part of this amendment) and allowing for the combined effects

What the amendment does

The Amendment seeks to implement the recommendations of the Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan 2018 by revising the Local Areas Policy relevant to Port Fairy in the Local Planning Policy Framework of the Moyne Planning Scheme, making the relevant changes to the zone and overlay controls applicable to Port Fairy, and updating the operational provisions.

Specifically, the Amendment proposes the following changes to the Moyne Planning Scheme:

Planning Scheme Maps Rezone all land currently in the General Residential Zone (GRZ) and the Mixed Use Zone (MUZ) to

Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ1).

Rezone the Rural Living Zone land in Growth Area A identified in the Structure Plan to Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ1).

Rezone land in the Farming Zone (FZ), Low Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) and one site in the Industrial 1 Zone (IN1Z) around Belfast Lough and outside the town settlement boundary to the Rural Conservation Zone (RCZ2).

Apply the Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z) to properties identified for expansion of the town centre commercial area and that are currently in the General Residential Zone (GRZ).

Amend zone maps to correct historical mapping anomalies within the Port Fairy settlement boundary.

Apply a Development Plan Overlay (DPO4) to Growth Area A and part of Growth Area B identified in the Structure Plan.

Replace the existing 19 Design and Development Overlays with seven (7) Design and Development Overlays to areas identified in the Structure Plan.

Apply an Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO7) to a 500 metre buffer around the Wannon Water – Port Fairy Water Reclamation Plant.

Introduce a Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO4) and Floodway Overlay (FO3) to the Port Fairy Township to identify areas subject to coastal inundation and a 1.2 metre sea level rise as per the findings of the Translation of Port Fairy Coastal Hazard Assessment (Cardno, 2019).

Extend the Erosion Management Overlay (EMO) currently applicable in Port Fairy West to areas along the primary coastal dune in South Beach and East Beach.

Apply the Parking Overlay (PO1) to the commercial town centre area in accordance with the recommendation of the Port Fairy Car Parking Strategy 2017.

Planning Scheme Ordinance Amend Clause 21.06 to reflect a 1.2 metre sea level rise (SLR) benchmark as proposed in the new

Flood Overlay and Land Subject to Inundation Overlay provisions.

Amend Clause 21.09 to replace the existing Local Areas Policy for Port Fairy. This includes identifying a settlement boundary as identified in the Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan 2018.

Amend Clause 21.11 to introduce the following background documents:

o Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan 2018

o Translation of Port Fairy Coastal Hazard Assessment - Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Planning Project (Cardno) 2019

o Port Fairy Car Parking Strategy 2017

Insert Clause 32.09 Neighbourhood Residential Zone and a new Schedule 1.

Number the Schedule to Clause 35.06 Rural Conservation Zone to Schedule 1 and insert a new Schedule 2.

Insert a new Schedule 7 to Clause 42.01 Environmental Significance Overlay.

Delete existing Schedules 1 to 21 (inclusive) to Clause 43.02 Design and Development Overlay, and insert new Schedules 1 to 7 (inclusive).

Insert a new Schedule 4 to Clause 43.04 Development Plan Overlay.

Amend Schedule 2 to Clause 44.04 Land Subject to Inundation Overlay and insert a new Schedule 4.

Insert Clause 45.09 Parking Overlay and new Schedule 1.

Amend the Schedule to Clause 72.03 What Does This Planning Scheme Consist Of? to insert Planning Scheme Map Nos 36EMO and 36PO.

Amend the Schedule to Clause 72.04 Documents Incorporated in this Planning Scheme to replace the existing Port Fairy Local Floodplain Development Plan 2013 introduced by Amendment C54 with the Port Fairy Local Floodplain Development Plan 2019 and incorporate the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority Guidelines for Fencing in Flood Prone Areas 2015.

Strategic assessment of the Amendment

Why is the Amendment required?

The Amendment is required to update the local policy and appropriate planning provisions to guide and manage land use and development within Port Fairy in accordance with the strategic directions of the Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan 2018 (PFCSP).

How does the Amendment implement the objectives of planning in Victoria?

The amendment is consistent with the objectives of planning in Victoria below:

To provide for the fair, orderly, economic and sustainable use and development of land.

To secure a pleasant, efficient and safe working, living and recreational environment for all Victorians and visitors to Victoria.

To facilitate development in accordance with the objectives set out in the points above.

To balance the present and future interests of all Victorians.

The amendment does this by establishing a 15 to 20 year land use framework that facilitates opportunities for residential, commercial and industrial growth within a settlement boundary and that accommodates projected population growth. Importantly this growth can occur where it avoids or minimises exposure to existing and future natural hazard risk (coastal and riverine inundation and coastal erosion).

Through design controls and standards, the amendment recognises and protects heritage and neighbourhood character as valued features of the town’s historic charm and that contributes to its attraction to visitors and tourists.

The settlement planning encourages the efficient use of land, infrastructure and services and ensures that future growth is designed to complement, and with consideration for, visual and physical connectivity with the existing urban fabric in a sustainable manner.

How does the Amendment address any environmental, social and economic effects?

The project is a State Government pilot project investigating the impacts of climate change related sea level rise on coastal settlements within Victoria. In 2013, a Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (PFLCHA) was undertaken as part of a previous State Government grant – Future Coasts program. The Coastal and Structure Plan was designed to translate the PFLCHA into the Victorian Planning Provisions via a structure plan for the town.

The intention of the Structure Plan is to provide an ‘adaptation strategy’ via a land use and development framework that enables the town to grow in locations, and prosper in ways, that minimise or avoid risk to human life, built assets and infrastructure from coastal hazards.

The introduction of flooding overlays and extension of the erosion management overlay to areas subject to coastal inundation and coastal erosion, benefits the community through better management of land liable to flooding and erosion. The controls and updated Port Fairy Floodplain Development Plan will provide more accurate advice to Council and the Catchment Management Authority when new development and subdivision are proposed on land that is potentially subject to flooding, inundation and/or erosion.

Page 4: MOYNE PLANNING SCHEME€¦ · Web viewPlanning for sea level rise of not less than 0.8 metres by 2100 (1.2 metres as part of this amendment) and allowing for the combined effects

The flooding provisions are based on a hazard class system sourced from the General Flood Hazard Vulnerability Curves, Technical Flood Risk Flood Hazard Management Guideline, Australian Government Attorney Generals Department, that includes the following:

The Land Subject to Inundation is applied to land in Hazard Risk Class 1 and 2 – below 0.5m depth + less than 2.0 velocity

H1 – generally safe for people, vehicles and buildings

H2 – unsafe for small vehicles

The Floodway Overlay is applied to land in Hazard Risk Class 3 to 5 – above 0.5m depth + greater than 2.0 velocity

H3 – unsafe for vehicles, children and the elderly

H4 – unsafe for people and vehicles

H5 – unsafe for vehicles and people.  All buildings vulnerable to structural damage.  Some less robust building types vulnerable to failure.

In 2016, an Erosion Management Overlay (EMO) was introduced to land abutting the coast in Port Fairy West to manage coastal erosion hazard. Amendment C69moyn extends the EMO to all land on the primary dune of South Beach and East Beach where coastal erosion risk has been mapped in the Translation of Port Fairy Coastal Hazard Assessment - Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Planning Project (Cardno) 2019.

The riverine, estuarine and coastal environments within and surrounding the Port Fairy township provide significant biodiversity habitat for flora and fauna, including the endangered Latham Snipe. Areas of habitat have been identified in the growth area and Belfast Lough environs. As such, the provisions provide direction for planning, including zone and overlay controls, that protect habitat areas. This includes zoning areas within the Belfast Lough to the Rural Conservation Zone (RCZ), identifying land in the growth area contained in the Development Plan Overlay (DPO) for open space and waterways, and zoning the Reedy Creek habitat corridor to Public Park and Recreation Zone (PPRZ) to facilitate rewilding.

At the request of Wannon Water, the amendment proposes an Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO) to introduce a five hundred metre buffer around the Port Fairy Water Reclamation Plant (the Plant). The purpose is to protect future operations of the important utility infrastructure in Port Fairy and ensure that new development considers the potential amenity impacts of the Plant in any siting and design response for development within the buffer area. The ESO will also trigger referral to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). This provision is proposed in the absence of gazettal of the State Government’s proposed amendments to the Victoria Planning Provisions for buffers and separation distances, namely updates to Clause 13.07-1S and Clause 53.10. It is noted that Clause 53.10, as drafted, only considers the impacts a facility may have on the surrounding area and not the reverse impacts of encroachment of sensitive uses or ‘agent of change’ consideration. The proposed ESO7 would perform this role in the Planning Scheme.

The amendment expands the commercial town centre to support consolidation and growth of community, commercial, office, leisure and tourism uses within the activity centre.

The amendment provides additional greenfield residential land to be developed at a range of densities to provide housing diversity within the township. This may include opportunities for affordable housing.

Does the Amendment address relevant bushfire risk?

The amendment is unlikely to result in any increase in the risk to life, property, community infrastructure and the natural environment from bushfire. The nearest Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) is more than five kilometres to the west. Changes to residential zoning will not bring residential areas closer to this area than those already existing within Port Fairy. The Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) surrounds Port Fairy and identified new development areas extend into the BPA. Any new development in these areas will be required to meet strict building requirements.

Does the Amendment comply with the requirements of any Minister’s Direction applicable to the amendment?

Page 5: MOYNE PLANNING SCHEME€¦ · Web viewPlanning for sea level rise of not less than 0.8 metres by 2100 (1.2 metres as part of this amendment) and allowing for the combined effects

The amendment is generally consistent with Ministerial Direction - The Form and Content of Planning Schemes under section 7(5) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

Ministerial Direction 11 – Strategic Assessment of Amendments has been addressed through the preparation of this Explanatory Report.

Ministerial Direction No 13 – Managing Coastal Hazards and the Coastal Impacts of Climate Change establishes requirements for consideration of the impacts of climate change within coastal Victoria as part of an amendment that would have the effect of allowing non-urban land to be used for an urban use and development.

Coastal hazard means an occurrence or an event within coastal Victoria which includes the individual or combined effects of inundation by the sea, the effects of storm tides, river flooding, coastal erosion, landslip/landslide and sand drift which adversely affects or may adversely affect human life, property or aspects of the environment”.

This amendment is supported by rigorous modelling undertaken as part of the Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (PFLCHA) and the Coastal Planning Analysis 2019 update. The Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan and the PFLCHA recognise that Port Fairy context is unique in that it is not solely susceptible to an ‘individual effect’ but ‘the combined effects’ of riverine, estuarine and coastal processes. As such, the proposed inundation provisions use the Hazard Class system to determine where a design response is appropriate to manage hazard risk (these areas are included in the LSIO), and where the hazard risk is too great and should be avoided therefore warranting subdivision and development controls (these areas are included in the FO).

The amendment has been prepared in consultation with the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority.

The preparation of this amendment will meet the requirements of Ministerial Direction 15 – The Planning Scheme Amendment Process.

How does the Amendment support or implement the Local Planning Policy Framework, and specifically the Municipal Strategic Statement?

The amendment supports the LPPF by implementing an updated local policy for the township of Port Fairy. The LPPF currently contains a local policy for Port Fairy at Clause 21.09-3. Amendment C69moyn proposes to update this policy.

The amendment introduces policy, zone and overlay controls that support and spatially translate the objectives of the MSS in its identification of Port Fairy as the main coastal settlement in Moyne Shire, its regional designation as a District Town with moderate growth capacity with some growth potential beyond existing urban zoned land or through infill but within defined settlement boundaries.

Does the Amendment make proper use of the Victoria Planning Provisions?

The amendment makes proper use of the Victoria Planning Provisions by establishing a settlement boundary and applying the appropriate zone and overlay controls to implement the key strategic directions of the Port Fairy Coastal and Structure Plan.

In March 2017, the Victorian Government introduced a suite of revised residential zones. At this time, and in the absence of a housing framework plan, the General Residential Zone (GRZ) was applied to all residential land in Port Fairy. The PFCSP now provides the strategic analysis to demonstrate that the Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ) is the most appropriate residential zone to provide and facilitate a 15 year supply of land for housing (infill and greenfield) for the projected population growth of the town, whilst respecting the significant and strongly valued low scale village heritage character of Port Fairy.

Subsequently, this Amendment proposes to rezone all residential land – including the Mixed Use Zone in Albert Road, and the greenfield growth area currently in the Rural Living Zone, to the NRZ. This is aligned to the guidance provided in Planning Practice Note No. 90 (Planning for housing) and No. 91 (Using the residential zones) which state that the NRZ is appropriate for areas “where there is no anticipated change to the predominantly single and double storey character. Also to areas that have been identified as having specific neighbourhood, heritage, environmental or landscape character values that distinguish the land from other parts of the municipality or surrounding area.”

Mandatory height limits, where they vary from the NRZ (9 metre / 2 storeys) and other design and siting requirements specific to the context of Port Fairy’s neighbourhood character areas are

Page 9: MOYNE PLANNING SCHEME€¦ · Web viewPlanning for sea level rise of not less than 0.8 metres by 2100 (1.2 metres as part of this amendment) and allowing for the combined effects

stipulated in the simplified seven Design and Development Overlays (DDOs). The Structure Plan process enabled review of the existing 19 DDOs for Port Fairy to combine like controls and establish preferred character statements for seven precincts. The reduced number of DDOs provides a less complex planning system without compromising on achieving good design outcomes respectful of the township’s village character.

Privately owned land in the Belfast Lough environs is proposed to be rezoned from Farming Zone to Rural Conservation Zone (RCZ) to reflect the environmental and landscape values of the area, and recognise the land is subject to combined riverine, estuarine and coastal inundation which precludes it from inclusion within the settlement boundary for urban development and/or further subdivision. The RCZ allows continued agricultural use of the land and the ability to apply for a single dwelling on a lot. The RCZ also allows for the consideration of views across the landscape in the assessment of applications, which removes the need for an additional Significant Landscape Overlay to be applied to this area.

Coastal hazard risks – inundation and erosion – are managed through application of the Floodway Overlay, Land Subject to Inundation Overlay and Erosion Management Overlay. A Design and Development Overlay covers land identified in the Structure Plan for residential growth to ensure its development outcomes complement and meet best practice standards for new development. An Environmental Significance Overlay has been applied to the Water Reclamation Plant. A Parking Overlay has been applied to the commercial town centre in line with recommendations of the Port Fairy Car Parking Strategy 2017.

The amendment is consistent with the following VPP Practice Notes: PPN12: Applying the flood provisions in planning schemes; PPN13: Incorporated and background documents; PPN23: Applying the Incorporated Plan and Development Plan Overlays; PPN36: Implementing a Coastal Settlement Boundary; PPN43: Understanding Neighbourhood Character; PPN53: Managing Coastal Hazards and the Coastal Impacts of Climate Change; PPN57: The Parking Overlay; PPN90: Planning for housing; and PPN91: Using the residential zones.

How does the Amendment address the views of any relevant agency?

Consultation was undertaken during the preparation of the structure plan which incorporated the views of the community, stakeholders, authorities and agencies.

As a State pilot project, the PFCSP and amendment documentation have been overseen and prepared in collaboration with DELWP (Planning and Water and Catchment groups), and the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority.

Does the Amendment address relevant requirements of the Transport Integration Act 2010?

Council, as an interface body under the provisions of the Transport Integration Act 2010, has an obligation to have regard to specified matters under that Act. In this case, it is considered that the proposal will have no significant impact on the transport system and will not be inconsistent with the transport system objectives nor the decision making principles of the Act.

VicRoads has been consulted on the future of the Port Fairy Bypass which is included in a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO) within the settlement boundary. VicRoads informed Council that they intend to retain the PAO and as such the Structure Plan reflects their intent.

Resource and administrative costs

What impact will the new planning provisions have on the resource and administrative costs of the responsible authority?

The amendment is expected to have only a minor impact (if any) on resource and administrative costs once it becomes part of the Planning Scheme. The proposed local areas policy and planning provisions will provide greater guidance for Council in exercising its discretion under the Moyne Planning Scheme. The cost of the preparation of the amendment and any incurred Panel fees will be borne by Council, and the funding agreement with DELWP.
