Strategic Overview Precinct context The Sandridge Precinct is located in the City of Port Phillip and is 86 hectares in size, with a net developable area of 63 hectares. It is bound by the Westgate Freeway to the north, Johnson Street to the east, Williamstown Road to the south and Graham Street to the west (refer to Figure 1). Sandridge is characterised by its wide main and secondary roads and large lots. It also contains a large playing field at North Port Oval. Public transport options are somewhat limited within the Precinct. Figure 1: The subject land Source: Google Maps Existing planning controls The Capital City Zone, Schedule 1 and Design and Development Overlay, Schedule 30 currently apply to the Sandridge Precinct. DDO30 applies as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2: Design and Development Overlay, Schedule 30 Under DDO30, Sandridge is split into three areas (A1, A3 and A4) with varied maximum building heights. North Sandridge is designated A4, which allows 18 storeys. The south of Sandridge, and the area around North Port Oval, is designated A1, which allows heights of storeys. A section in the western part of the precinct is designated A3, which allows 12 storeys. Two of the current permits are for low rise (up to 4 storey) townhouse developments, and the third is for two towers that exceed the current height limits by a significant amount. The two applications are for buildings of 18 and 19 storeys which are generally consistent with DDO30. The current interim built form controls are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Interim built form controls (GC50) Built Form Element Requirement Building height Mandatory maximum: A1 – 4 Storeys A3 – 12 Storeys A4 – 18 Storeys Street wall height Mandatory maximum 5 storeys or 20 metres, whichever is lesser Tower setback Mandatory minimum 10 metres to the street edge Mandatory minimum 10 metres to all other boundaries Setback can be taken from centre of laneway (if applicable) Tower separation Mandatory minimum 20 metres
