INTRODUCTION
1.1
Overview
This report has been prepared by Tract Consultants on behalf of AMEX Corporation Pty Ltd to
support a planning permit application for the subdivision of land located at the northeast corner
of Leakes Road and Tarneit Road in Tarneit.
The site is the southern parcel contained within Lot 1 on PS701127S and has an area of
approximately 24ha. The northern parcel of the allotment, dissected by the future railway
corridor that forms part of the Regional Rail Link, does not form part of this application.
It is proposed to subdivide the land into 294 residential lots in a mix of lot sizes. The proposed
subdivision also includes a central open space and drainage reserve which will be designed to
act as passive open space.
The land is within the Urban Growth Zone and forms part of the Tarneit North Precinct Structure
Plan (PSP1089) area. The land is not currently affected by any overlays.
A planning permit is required under the following clauses of the Wyndham Planning Scheme:
Clause 37.07-10 (Urban Growth Zone) – To subdivide land.
Clause 52.29 (Land Adjacent to a Road Zone, Category 2) – To subdivide land adjacent
to a road in a Road Zone, Category 1.
To provide for an expedited and efficient approvals process, this application has been prepared
as part of a combined planning scheme amendment and permit application under Section 96A
of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to be considered concurrently with the Tarneit North
PSP. The proposed subdivision will enable the land to be developed in accordance with the
vision established in the PSP.
Another application for subdivision of the northern parcel of the allotment together with the
adjoining lot to the north extending to Dohertys Road is also included in the combined
application.
The proposed plan of subdivision provides for a variable range of residential lot sizes and
reflecting its location on the northern edge of the Tarneit Gardens Town Centre catchment and
residential neighbourhood.
Whilst some minor deviations are proposed from the draft Tarneit North PSP, these are generally
as a consequence of design detail. Overall, it is considered that the design response is generally
in accordance with and maintains the integrity and objectives of the PSP.

Strategic Context
1.2.1
West Growth Corridor Plan
Subject Land
Figure 1 – Melbourne West Growth Corridor Plan
The West Growth Corridor Plan establishes a framework for sustainable growth within the most
rapidly growing of Melbourne’s growth corridors. It was adopted by the Minister for Planning on
13 June 2012. Upon development, the West Growth Corridor will support an increase in
population of at least 290,000 and will have capacity to accommodate at least 130,000 jobs.
The Corridor Plan sets a vision and provides a structure to deliver major infrastructure to the
region that will support the region’s important role in meeting Victoria’s industrial and logistics
needs.
Planned infrastructure within the West Corridor includes:
The Regional Rail Link (RRL);
The proposed Outer Metropolitan Ring (OMR) transport corridor;
The Melton rail line corridor; and
The potential Western Intermodal Freight Terminal.
The Melbourne West Growth Corridor Plan is depicted at Figure 1.

Leakes Rd, Tarneit
Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan
The Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP1089) is a strategic plan prepared by the Growth
Areas Authority to guide urban development within the PSP area. It covers an area of
approximately 1,000ha hectares and is expected to provide for more than 12,000 homes for
around 35,000 new residents over the next 20 years.
1.2.2
When approved, Amendment Cxx to the Wyndham Planning Scheme will incorporate the
following documents into the Wyndham Planning Scheme:
Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP1089);
Tarneit North Development Contributions Plan; and
Tarneit North Native Vegetation Precinct Plan
The Amendment will also:
Apply Schedule xxx to the Urban Growth Zone (UGZxxx) to all land within the Tarneit
North PSP area;
Introduce Schedule xxx to the Urban Growth Zone (UGZxxx) into the Wyndham
Planning Scheme;
Apply the Residential 1 Zone to the subject land as an implied zone through the
UGZxxx; and
Apply Schedule xxx to the Development Contributions Overlay (DCPOxxx) to all land
within the Tarneit North PSP area;
Introduce Schedule xxx to the Development Contributions Overlay (DCPOxx) into the
Wyndham Planning Scheme.
The location of the site as part of the Tarneit North PSP is shown in Figure 2.

SITE ANALYSIS
2.1
Site Context
The site is located approximately 25km to the west of Melbourne’s CBD, within the City
of Wyndham (refer Figure 3 – Locality Plan).
The land is situated to the north of the established area of Tarneit. Land to the north,
west and east is currently used for grazing and agricultural purposes. Leakes Road forms
the southern boundary of the site, and represents the current edge to the established
residential area of Tarneit. The Rose Grange Activity Centre is located approximately
1.6km to the east of the site.
2.2
Access
Existing Road Network
The subject land is accessed via a central crossover to Leakes Road and also via an
unmade access on the north eastern corner of the parcel to Tarneit Road. Leakes and
Tarneit Roads are both two-carriageway roads that are constructed to rural road standard
within road reservations of approximately 20m.
Public Transport
The reservation for the future Regional Rail Link (RRL) bisects the overall site, forming the
northern boundary of the site for this application. When complete, the RRL project will
carry VLine services from Geelong and beyond and will provide two new stations at
Tarneit and Wyndham Vale. The future Tarneit station directly adjoins the subject land,
to the north west of the site.

2.3
The Subject Site
Site Particulars
The site is the southern parcel contained within Lot 1 on PS701127. The site is generally
rectangular and has an area of approximately 24ha.
2.3.1
The northern parcel of the allotment, dissected by the future railway corridor that forms part of
the Regional Rail Link, does not form part of this application.
Instrument AH462111E dated 30/08/2010 is the only encumbrance registered on the
Certificate of Title for the land. Instrument AH462111E is a notice under 201UB Planning
and Environment Act that registers that the land is subject to a Growth Areas
Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) Levy upon a GAIC event being triggered.
Topography
The site and surrounding land sits within the broader context of the Victorian Volcanic Plains
which is characterised flat to gently undulating land with stony rises and volcanic cones,
however the subject land is generally flat with a consistent and gradual fall from the mid-point of
the land.
2.3.2
Vegetation
There is no native vegetation on the subject land.
2.3.3
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
A cultural heritage management plan has been undertaken by Ecology and Heritage Partners.
The assessment confirmed that there are no areas of cultural heritage significance.
2.3.4
Services and Utilities
As a background study to the PSP, an infrastructure and services capacity assessment was
undertaken by Spiire Consultants. The report investigated the capacity of the following utilities
in catering for the future community within the Tarneit North PSP area:
2.3.5
Water
Sewer
Recycled Water
Power
Gas
Telecommunications
Overall the site has access to urban services extensions from development from the south.

PROPOSAL
3.1
Overview
It is proposed to subdivide the site to create 294 residential lots as shown in the Proposed Plan of
Subdivision attached at Appendix 1 to this report.
3.2
Design Response
Overall Masterplan
An overall Masterplan has been prepared to guide subdivision of the larger landholding and to
ensure a coordinated and orderly process for future subdivision stages. The Masterplan provides
the necessary context for the application and does not form part of this application. A copy of
the Overall Masterplan, showing the site for this application as Precinct 1, is attached at Appendix
2.
3.2.1
The Masterplan provides for a highly permeable road network generally aligned within 20O of a
north-south orientation.
Within the Amex holding two points of connection to the existing road network are proposed
incorporating unsignalised left in/left out access arrangements in keeping with the requirement
of the PSP. Local streets are established within a partial grid format and provide a high level of
permeability.
The Masterplan provides the opportunity for a ‘community hub’ and gateway at the Tarneit Road
entrance to the northern site. It is intended that this land will accommodate a community
recreation building comprising swimming pool, commercial kitchen and floor space for
functions (restricted recreation centre) and a private child care facility incorporating a small
public park interface. These facilities will supplement broader community services and facilities
anticipated to be provided in the main town centre in the west of the PSP.
An area of neighbourhood open space is provided within the AMEX holding (within Precinct 2),
with part of the site conjoining with the primary active open space reserve which is centrally
located within the PSP area.
This park is intended to be the main central focal point for the community. It will be
complemented by the retarding basis for storm water which will be designed to provide some
complementary open space function.
10
Leakes Rd, Tarneit
3.2.2
Removal of Vegetation
The proposed subdivision does not necessitate the removal of native vegetation.
Access
Access to the site is restricted to Leakes Road and connection to the site to the west of the
application area by the Regional Rail Link and the Tarneit road overpass. Access can only be
provided from Leakes Road.
3.2.3
Access is influenced by:
− The proximity to the Leakes Road, Tarneit Road intersection, a major, future arterial
road intersection
− The provision of a signalised intersection approximately 150m west of the site.
− The RRL access point.
Two “left in/left out” access points will be provided no more than 200m west of the Leakes
Road/Tarneit Road intersection.
Pedestrian access points will be available at all local street interfaces with the arterial roads where
at grade pedestrian access exists.
The provision of good access to the west of the site will be important in providing access to the
multi-directional signalised intersection.
Housing Diversity Objectives.
The housing mix and lot size has been influenced by input from Oliver Hume, providing a
response to market analysis of demand for housing type across Melbourne’s west and Wyndham
in particular.
3.2.4
This has also been informed by the need to respond to the physical constraints of the site,
particularly the interface to the Tarneit Road railway overpass and the railway line.
The advice and response to the site is also influenced by a desire to provide a diverse housing
mix for all sectors of the market.
In addressing these objectives specifically to the subject application area, regard has been given
to:
− Restricted access to the site, being bounded by Leakes Road (a future 6 lane
arterial), Tarneit Road overpass and the RRL.
− The uncertainty with regard to the future timing of a railway station adjoining the
site, indications being that any station will be long term if at all.
− The physical separation provided by the railway line to the greater part of the PSP
area to the north. Essentially, this application area will have a strong relationship to
the urban community to the south of Leakes Road.

Urban Design
Interface with Leakes Road
The plan demonstrates lot frontage and internal local street frontage to Leakes Road for all but a
small section of the Leakes Road frontage. For the 250m lead in to the Leakes and Tarneit Roads
intersection an additional 5m landscape strip is proposed with the objective of providing larger
tree planting outside the arterial road reservation.
3.4.1
Interface with Tarneit Road
Tarneit Road is influenced by the railway overpass presenting a frontage to the batter to the
overpass.
3.4.2
While it is understood that the overpass will be landscapes, the plan will provide no access to
Tarneit Road. The objective for this interface is to:
12
Leakes Rd, Tarneit
− Minimise the visual impact of the batter to residential properties.
− Utilise built form in the design of medium density development to provide some
acoustic protection to the subdivision.
− Provide a design response in the medium density housing form that will present
well to Tarneit road.
The solution is a medium density housing product used in other locations in Melbourne,
including an interface with the Western Ring Road where the rear of the medium density
housing will present to Tarneit road as a 2-storey wall with windows and design features. Each
window will be acoustically treated for the amenity of residents of the dwellings.
13
Leakes Rd, Tarneit
Road Treatments
Cross sections for the key road treatments that depart from the standard GAA requirements are
provided at Appendix 3 to this report.
3.4.3
Primary Access Street
The main entry to the subdivision will be designed as a variation of an Access Level 2 road.
3.4.4
This road will not need to function as a connector as there are no destination or traffic volumes
that will justify a connector standard.
A variation to the cross section of an access level 2 road is proposed to increase the verge
planting width to 5m to enable larger tree species to be established.
The road cross section has also been modified opposite the drainage reserve to provide a “park”
interface.
Secondary Streets
The objective for the major East/West street, north of the drainage reserve providing access to
the local park is to provide 5m verges (nature strips) to allow for increased planting.
3.4.5
Interface with Regional Rail Line
The interface with the RRL is to have all dwellings fronting the railway line, providing a local
street access and an 8m landscaping strip. While the detail of landscaping will need to be
resolved with Council, the reservation has the potential to accommodate diverse planting and
some mounding (functioning as limited acoustic treatment and a barrier to direct access across
the railway line).
3.4.6
Public Open Space
The local park has been located central to the plan and will be supplemented by the drainage
reserve being designed as a secondary open space asset.
3.4.7
The design and detail of the treatment of the local park will be developed in consultation with
Council but will seek to respond to the broader landscape objectives as outlined in the Tarneit
North PSP.
Designing for Noise
The site’s location at a major future traffic intersection, overpass and railway line necessitates a
diverse response to noise amelioration. This will be achieved through subdivision design, built
form and treatment of individual building construction methods and treatment.
3.4.8
Specifically, the subdivision plan responds to the visual and noise impacts by:
− Overpass interface will seek to provide a consistent built form interface to minimise
impacts from traffic at elevated road overpass. Each building will be treated
acoustically with double glazing and additional insulation on the overpass
interface. Open space to each dwelling will be provided at the front of the
dwelling for amenity reasons.
− Railway interface will set all building frontages back at least 26 metres from the
railway reservation (8m tree reserve, 13 m street reservation, 5m building setback
on site).
An Acoustic Report has been prepared by Renzo Tonin & Associates (3 May 2013). Bedrooms of
properties that are exposed to maximum external noise levels greater than 80db(A) will be
insulated as part of the building design as recommended in the report or further agreed with the
Responsible Authority. Furthermore, facades of bedrooms within the eastern medium density
envelope, adjacent to Tarneit Road, will be constructed as per Table 2 in the Acoustic Report.
14
Leakes Rd, Tarneit
Staging
The proposed subdivision plan indicates six development stages.
3.4.9
3.4.10 Drainage
The final drainage scheme has yet to be approved by Melbourne Water. Based on draft concepts,
storm water flows will be directed to the west in the south of the plan area and to the east in the
north. The following presents a summary of the 2 schemes as they are currently developed:
Southern Catchment
The initial concept identifies a drainage scheme for the south of the plan are which will flow to
the west along the railway line easement to a drainage treatment facility west of the application
area as identified in the PSP.
This may necessitate a temporary retarding basin in the south west of the plan area to retard
flows to rural standard should the ultimate treatment facility not be constructed at the time of
development, as outlined in the drainage report.
Northern Catchment
The Northern catchment flows to the west. The preliminary concept by Melbourne water
identifies a potential single flow path and crossing of Tarneit Road at a point close to the main
east-west connector intersection. An alternative concept is in consideration which seeks to
provide multiple crossing points and a more dispersed flow to the west to be accommodated in
a normal street network both East and West of Tarneit Road.
Details of both options have been included with this application and will be further developed
with Melbourne water.

•
“To manage the transition of non-urban land into urban land in accordance with a
precinct structure plan.
•
To provide for a range of uses and the development of land in accordance with a
precinct structure plan.
•
To contain urban use and development to areas identified for urban development in a
precinct structure plan.
•
To provide for the continued non-urban use of the land until urban development in
accordance with a precinct structure plan occurs.
•
To ensure that, before a precinct structure plan is applied, the use and development of
land does not prejudice the future urban use and development of the land.”
Amendment Cxxx seeks to apply Schedule xxx to the PSP area. The purpose of this schedule
(UGZ01) is to:

4.4
Overlays
Clause 45.06 – Development Contributions Plan Overlay – Schedule xx
Subject to the approval of the PSP, Schedule xx to the DCPO will affect the site.
4.4.1
The purpose of this Clause is:
To identify areas which require the preparation of a development contributions plan for the
purpose of levying contributions for the provision of works, services and facilities before
development can commence.
The provisions of the Development Contributions Plan Overlay are acknowledged and
contributions will be required as a condition on permit as part of the proposed subdivision.
4.5
Particular Provisions
Clause 52.01 Public Open Space Contribution and Subdivision
This clause requires that ‘a person who proposes to subdivide land must make a contribution to the
council for public open space in an amount specified in the schedule to this clause (being a percentage
of the land intended to be used for residential, industrial or commercial purposes, or a percentage of
the site value of such land, or a combination of both)’.
4.5.1
A public open space contribution may be made only once for any of the land to be subdivided.
The Schedule to Clause 52.01 specifies the amount of contribution for local (passive) public open
space for land zoned UGZx (Tarneit North Precinct Structure Plan) as 3.01%.
The proposed subdivision comprises only part of the site, with the balance of the site and the
combined Amex landholding to be further subdivided in accordance with the Tarneit North PSP.
It is appropriate that the open space contribution be coordinated with the overall development
of the land to provide meaningful and accessible open space within the neighbourhood.
The proposed subdivision provides 3.99% of the net developable land as passive open space.
Clause 52.16 Native Vegetation Precinct Plan
No native vegetation is proposed to be removed.
4.5.2
Clause 52.29 Land Adjacent to a Road Zone
The purpose of Clause 52.29 is to ensure appropriate access to identified roads and appropriate
subdivision of land adjacent to identified roads.
4.5.3
The clause establishes a permit requirement for the subdivision of land or alteration of access to
land that is adjacent to a Road Zone, Category 1. Tarneit Road is contained within Category 2
Road Zone.
The proposed subdivision does no create formal access to Tarneit Road. An application must be
referred to relevant Roads Corporation, in this case VicRoads.
Clause 56 Residential Subdivision
The purposes of Clause 56 are to:
4.5.4
17
To create liveable and sustainable neighbourhoods and urban places with character
and identity.
To achieve residential subdivision outcomes that appropriately respond to the site
and its context for: Metropolitan Melbourne growth areas, infill sites within
established residential areas and regional cities and towns.
To ensure residential subdivision design appropriately provides for:
− Policy implementation.
− Liveable and sustainable communities.
− Residential lot design.

CONCLUSION
This report has been prepared in support of a planning application made for Amex Corporation
on land at Tarneit Road in Tarneit.
As detailed in this report, the proposed subdivision is responsive to the conditions and context
of the site and is consistent with the relevant provisions of the Wyndham Planning Scheme. The
proposed subdivision generally accords with the Tarneit North PSP that provides a cohesive
framework for urban development within this precinct.
The urban subdivision has been designed to respond specifically to physical and environmental
constraints, including the potential traffic levels associated with the future completion of Tarneit
Road as an arterial road, and the future regional railway line.
A variety of lot sizes and configurations are provided to ensure a diversity of housing product.
The local road network is structured to promote viewlines through the development towards
areas of open space and provide efficient and pedestrian and vehicular linkages. The provision
of open space is appropriate in scale and in location. The proposed plan of subdivision provides
for the orderly development of the land for urban purposes through a staged approach that
responds to market demand and ensures the timely delivery of services.
The proposal will assist in facilitating the planned urban development of the land in accordance
with the PSP, NVPP and DCP.
We therefore respectfully request that Council support the proposal and issues the relevant
planning permits for the proposed subdivisions.

facilities objective
To provide appropriately
located sites for
community facilities
including schools, libraries,
preschools and childcare,
health services, police and
fire stations, recreation
and sports facilities.
Standard
Complies / Variation Required
A subdivision should:
Implement any relevant regional and
local community facility strategy, plan or
policy for the area set out in this
scheme.

and community sporting and other
recreation facilities.
Be integrated with community facilities.
Be located on land that is not affected
by physical, environmental or other
constraints.
Schools should be accessible by the
Principal Public Transport Network in
Metropolitan
Melbourne and on the regional public
transport network outside Metropolitan
Melbourne.
Comments:
The proposed subdivision is in
close proximity to a future
Community Centre as set out in the
Tarneit North PSP.
The PSP establishes a clear
structure for the development and
location of community facilities in
line with these objectives. The
proposed community facilities are
on adjoining land. The proposed
subdivision implements the
structure plan, and ensures the
appropriate connectivity with
community facilities can be
achieved.
Primary schools should be located on
connector streets and not on arterial roads.
C5
Built environment
objective
To create urban places
with identity and character.
New State Government school sites must
meet the requirements of the Department of
Education and Training and abut at least two
streets with sufficient widths to provide
student drop-off zones, bus parking and onstreet parking in addition to other street
functions.
The built environment should:
Implement any relevant urban design
strategy, plan or policy for the area set
out in this scheme.
Provide living and working
environments that are functional, safe
and attractive.
Provide an integrated layout, built form
and urban landscape.
Contribute to a sense of place and
cultural identity.
An application should describe the identity
and character to be achieved and the

Comments:
The proposed subdivision has been
designed in accordance with
character requirements of the
Tarneit North PSP (refer Section
3.1 – Image, Character and
Housing).
Sense of place is fostered through
the provision of a central open
space and tree-lined streets which
will create identity throughout the
proposed subdivision and a local
road network that provides for
viewlines towards open space
areas.

Neighbourhood
character objective
To design subdivisions
that respond to
neighbourhood character.
Respect the existing neighbourhood
character or achieve a preferred
neighbourhood character consistent with
any relevant neighbourhood character
objective, policy or statement set out in
this scheme.
Respond to and integrate with the
surrounding urban environment.
Protect significant vegetation and site
features.
Comments:
There is little in the way of existing
neighbourhood character in this
location, however the design of the
subdivision is consistent with the
vision of the Tarneit North PSP.
Despite the creation of a new
community through the PSP, the
site will retain an important
connection with the established
residential area south of Leakes
road due to the physical barriers
created by the rail corridor. The
subdivision design is responsive to
this by and provides a direct point
of connection between the two
areas.

Comments:
The orientation of lots is in
accordance with this standard. The
subdivision design responds to the
topography of the site and allows
for dwellings to be appropriately
oriented to facilitate solar access.
Lots between 300 sqm and
500 sqm are proposed to
contain dwellings that are built
to the boundary, the long axis
of the lots should be within 30
degrees east and 20 degrees
west of north.
Dimensions of lots are
adequate to protect solar
access to the lot, taking into
account likely dwelling size and
the relationship of each lot to
the street.

The design of the local drainage
network should:
Ensure run-off is retarded to a
standard required by the
responsible drainage authority.
Ensure every lot is provided
with drainage to a standard
acceptable to the relevant
drainage authority. Wherever
possible, run-off should be
directed to the front of the lot
and discharged into the street
