THEME 2: BUILT FORM

Refer to Built Form Precinct Plan (Figure 8) & Building Heights and
Setbacks Plan (Figure 9).


Objective 1
To protect and celebrate the existing character and identity
associated with key heritage buildings and neighbourhoods
Strategy 1.1
Retain a generally low to mid rise building scale that is
punctuated by higher built form in appropriate locations.

Strategy 1.2
Encourage new development to reflect and respect the built
form character present in the surrounding context (Refer to
Future Character and Building Guidelines).

Strategy 1.3
Encourage new development that complements surrounding
heritage buildings and areas rather than detracting from them.

Strategy 1.4
Encourage new development to make a positive contribution to
existing heritage buildings and neighbourhoods.

Strategy 1.5
Encourage the development of a consistent building height at
the footpath boundary and visually recessive upper levels in
key areas (Refer to Future Character and Building Guidelines).
Objective 2
To facilitate new, compact development in areas that are
strategically important and relatively unconstrained
Strategy 2.1
Facilitate the redevelopment of buildings within the retail core
that have limited heritage value where appropriate.

Strategy 2.2
Encourage the amalgamation of sites to support further
intensification.

Strategy 2.3
Encourage higher building forms along the Yarra River Corridor
between Punt Road and Church Street to take advantage of
amenity and views.

Strategy 2.4
Encourage high quality, denser built forms around train stations
to take advantage of transport infrastructure.

Strategy 2.5
Recognise that gateway locations are potentially suitable for
higher built form.

safety, amenity and comfort of the adjoining public realm
Strategy 3.1
Encourage active, ground floor frontages along key activity
streets and activity nodes.

Strategy 3.2

Strategy 3.6
Ensure that new development does not unreasonably
overshadow key public spaces and streets.

To encourage new buildings that contribute to the vibrancy,
safety, amenity and comfort of the adjoining public realm

Strategy 3.7
Encourage the redevelopment of train stations and surrounding
areas to be designed with a focus on pedestrian movement
and activities.

Strategy 3.8
Encourage all buildings in key retail areas to respect the
pedestrian scale of the street environment by incorporating
articulated facades, fenestration and design detail.

Strategy 3.9
Utilise upper level setbacks to reduce the visual impact
experienced from the street and adjoining sensitive
development such as low-rise housing.

Strategy 3.10
Facilitate the development of key strategic development sites
that are integrated into the surrounding public realm by
ensuring appropriate through-site links and potential new public
spaces.

THEME 4: ACCESS AND MOVEMENT
Refer to Access and Movement Framework Plan (Figure 11) and Action
Plan (Figure 12)


Objective 1
To improve the design and management of the movement
network to enhance connectivity, accessibility and efficiency
Strategy 1.1
Provide strategic prioritisation of road reserve space for
different transport modes.

Strategy 1.2
Improve access of footpaths around transport stations /stops
and along key activity streets for people with disabilities.

Strategy 1.3
Explore opportunities to develop new links in identified
locations that can enhance the connectivity and legibility of the
activity centre.

Strategy 1.4
Improve wayfinding and parking signage to facilitate more
efficient movement.

Strategy 1.5
Explore opportunities to manage traffic flows in a more efficient
and safer way.

Strategy 1.6
Establish new taxi ranks to minimise on-road conflict and better
manage vehicular activity, particularly during major events and
at night time.

Strategy 1.7
Maintain or reduce the amount of public surface carparking
available in the study area.
Objective 2
To facilitate public transport use by improving stops and
interchanges
Strategy 2.1
Integrate physical improvements to train stations and tram and
bus stops to improve safety, comfort and amenity including for
people with disabilities.

Strategy 2.2
Redesign key multi-modal transit interchanges to facilitate
efficient and safe modal changes.

Strategy 2.3
Explore opportunities for the development of tram super-stops
at key locations along the tram corridors.

Objective 3
To encourage walking and cycling options to enhance health
and wellbeing and reduce Carbon emissions
Strategy 3.1
Improve bike linkages to the Capital City trail.

Strategy 3.2
Investigate a new Bicycle Priority Route south of rail line to
facilitate more efficient and safe east-west bicycle movement.

Strategy 3.3
Provide pedestrian and bicycle priority improvements in
identified locations.

Strategy 3.4
Investigate the improved design and management of key
intersections and crossing points to facilitate safer pedestrian
movement, including the development of a new pedestrian
crossing point across Punt Road at Blanche Street.

Objective 4
To improve the legibility of the urban fabric.
Strategy 3.1
Investigate new links in the urban fabric where appropriate to
facilitate connectivity.

Strategy 3.2
Develop improved wayfinding strategies to guide pedestrians
and cyclists to key activities and destinations.

PART 4: IMPLEMENTATION
IMPLEMENTATION MODEL
Following the finalisation of the draft Structure Plan, a detailed
implementation plan will be prepared that will outline the actions required
to realise the Structure Plan Vision on-the-ground.
The Swan Street Structure Plan will be implemented in the following ways:
x Changes to the planning scheme introducing new zones,
overlays and guidelines
x Capital works projects to enhance the public realm such as
traffic measures, train / tram stop improvements, street
greening, new street furniture, etc.
x Further Strategic Work to be undertaken to provide more
detail to recommendations
x Advocacy and Negotiation between Council and other
organisations who are directly responsible to improvements in
the study area such as Metro, Yarra Trams, DPCD, etc.
The Implementation Plan will identify actions for each of these categories
as well as who will be responsible for implementing them. It will also
prioritise the actions so that Council and other agencies can plan for the
continuous improvement of the Structure Plan area based on local needs
and available resources.
