Great cities have needed great vision

In history and now.

With the vision in place…where do we go next?

With clear and simple developer tools

-already built-apply great rigour -proven to work

The developers win, as they are…

And simple for others too

Communities can get better homes, workplaces and cities to live and grow in.

Planners can assess applications quickly

So what are developer tools?

This improve planning efficiencyIt removes much of the subjectiveness that slows process

Performance standards

Do developer tools overlap regulations?

In fact, they are complimentary

Building regulations

- apply after building is designed to ensure safety and minimum standards

- do not deal with landscapes and streetscapes.

Developer tools

- help developers at planning and building stage

- deal with landscapes and streetscapes, not just buildings

Is it equitable for ESD to be added to planning requirements?

Can we start right now?

Local government can helpLocal government consistent

1.STEPSFour Councils waiting amendment linking to voluntary use of STEPS tool. And even more Councils use the toolsMoreland, Banyule, Whitehorse, Yarra

2.WSUD Five Councils waiting to require use of STORM WSUD tool.Melbourne, Port Phillip, Stonnington, Yarra, Moonee Valley

3. Others City of Melbourne links to property industry rating tools (NABERS, Green Star, SDS)

One example of our ‘quantification’ of strategic planning…

Different tools for different needsWe have a tool for most types of design needsWe need to do more to communicate them as a suite

Lets draw on the skills of planners

This is a model that can shift planners:

In conclusion

The developer tools are the link.Lets connect them to the planning scheme.Lets enable the market.

1. Short term -approval of all Local Planning Policies2. Medium term –apply ESD State Planning Policies

using performance standards3. Long term – lets refocus our planners and the system to

support new innovation and collaboration.
