The Minister supports revisions to the boundary of the core area to clarify conditions where there are adjoining proposed roads and to incorporate the land required for the road into a core to support higher density over the balance of the land available for development. Suggest that the area of greater development intensity should be extended north and south, out from the linear corridor of Plummer Street, in the vicinity of Salmon Street. In relation to the key area in the Wirraway Precinct, around the intersection of Plummer Street and Salmon Street, recommend: The 24 storey (80.6 metres) preferred maximum height to the north and south. The Minister does not accept this recommendation. The land to the south of Plummer Street is already 24 storeys and to the north is 12 storeys to provide solar protection to the street. A maximum preferred height of 24 storeys (80.6 metres) on both of Plummer Street, generally between Smith Street and JL Murphy Reserve. The Minister does not accept this recommendation for the north side of Plummer St for the reasons given above c) Building heights should graduate down towards Williamstown Road, to 12 storeys (42.2 metres), where currently shown as 4 storeys (15.4 metres) discretionary, and 8 storeys (29.4 metres) with the possibility of an upper level setback of up to 10 storeys (35.8 metres), along the north side of Williamstown Road (where currently shown as 4 storey mandatory). The Minister does not accept this recommendation. Heights of 10 and 12 storeys do not provide adequate transiton to the exisiting heritage protected residential neighbourhood to the south. 359 Plummer Street (Wirraway)
