introduction

This submission has been prepared on behalf of Modarc and in support of an application to use and develop a plant nursery at 1 Tully Road, Clarinda (the subject land). Specifically, this submission responds to Council’s request for further information and the subsequent meeting with Council officers. Council’s letter of further information requested a number of matters that are addressed as follows: 1. This town planning submission responds to the requests made in Point 1 of Council’s

letter in detailing the site and surrounds, the details of the proposal, and in providing a response to the planning framework as relevant to this application.

2. The revised plans provide greater detail on the car parking location and layout, noting

the parking layout, dimensions and proportions well exceed the provisions of Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme. It is noted Council officers were satisfied that this additional detailed avoided the need to submit the requested traffic report.

A traffic submission has been prepared by EB Traffic Solutions that includes swept path diagrams for vehicles, vehicles with trailers, and small trucks that may access the site.

3. A revised site plan has been prepared detailing the areas for the growing and selling of

plants, along with the full dimensions of the car parking. This submission demonstrates that the proposed plant nursery achieves a high level of compliance with the purpose and decision guidelines of the Green Wedge A Zone, and that the land use has the potential to significantly improve what is at present a derelict and poorly presented parcel of land. We look forward to working with Council officers in delivering this land use.


the site and surrounds the site The site is a substantial land holding on the northern side of Tully Road and approximately 200m west of Clayton Road. This irregular shaped allotment has an approximate 125m wide frontage to Tully Road and a combined area of some 10,696 square metres. The contextual location of the site is shown in figure 1. This cadastral plan highlights the varied layout pattern between the northern and southern sides of Tully Road.

Figure 1 – Cadastral Plan (DELWP) The subject land is a large open parcel of land (photograph 1). There is an existing dwelling and large shed located close to the Tully Road frontage (photographs 2 and 3). The site is open and does not comprise any vegetation of significance (photograph 4).

Photograph 1 – View of Entrance to the Site Photograph 2 – View of Existing Dwelling


Photograph 3 – View to Car Parking Photograph 4 – View from Rear Boundary to Frontage An open cyclone wire fence extends along the full frontage of the site and allows views to the site which makes little visual contribution to the character of the area. Figure 2 shows that the site is poorly maintained and makes little environmental contribution to the area.

Figure 2 – Aerial Photograph of Site and Surrounds (Source: Nearmap 22 March 2018)


the surrounds The aerial image at figure 2 on the previous page shows that the site forms part of an unusual context. Located west of the site is a large parcel of land that is also in the Green Wedge A Zone. This is a large and vacant parcel of land with some perimeter planting (photograph 5). Located north of the site are standard residential allotments (right of photograph 6), a plant nursery abuts the site to the south (photograph 7), and a dwelling abuts the site to the east (photograph 8).

the proposal

It is proposed to use and develop the subject land as a plant nursery. The breakdown of the use is listed as follows: § Sales occur in the existing building as denoted by the orange circle. § Plant germination and growing occurs in fenced areas (cyclone wire fence with shade

cloth over) as denoted by the red circles. § Potted plant sales and general tree/plant sales occur in a central open area as denoted

by the green circle. § Two free mulch areas are provided as denoted by the yellow circle.


The plant nursery is accessed to the public via the existing entry point on Tully Road. The generous 7.3m wide sealed access road will lead to 10 individual car spaces that measure 2.6m x 7.4m. The car spaces are conveniently located near the sales office and the main plant sales area, and are designed to allow vehicles to safely enter and exit the site in a forward direction. Given the small size of the plant nursery, it is expected the vast majority of sales will be for domestic purposes and that individual car spaces will be sufficient to accommodate purchases. Vehicles that arrive with trailers will be directed to the open area immediately south of the ten car spaces where this ample space to park a trailer and also accommodate the turning of a trailer (and vehicle). Key features of the operation include: § Operating hours of 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 3pm on Saturday.

§ A total of 4 staff on site (staff will be encouraged to park their vehicles next to the sales

office to ensure the main ten spaces are made available to the public). § A small truck will be located on site to allow for deliveries of purchases. § Public toilets are provided to the rear of the site ten car spaces (immediately south of

the equipment storage shed). § No new buildings and proposed, with sales, equipment storage and amenities to utilise

existing buildings on site. § New fencing that divides the various sections of the use will be chain wire mesh fencing

with shade cloth cover. The use of the land for the propagating and growing of plants represents the dominant land use, with some 50% of the site set aside exclusively for this purpose.


planning scheme provisions permit triggers A permit is triggered for the following components of this application: § A permit is required to use the land as a ‘plant nursery’ in the Green Wedge A Zone .

§ A permit is required for buildings and works associated with the ‘plant nursery’ in the

Green Wedge A Zone. zoning The subject land is located within a Green Wedge A Zone. An extract of the Kingston Planning Scheme maps at figure 3 shows that this zoning applies to part of the southern side of the road, within the General Residential Zone located on the north and eastern sides of the site.

Figure 3 –Green Wedge Zone A (Source: DELWP) The purpose of Green Wedge A Zone as outlined at Clause 35.58 of the Kingston Planning Scheme is listed as follows: § “To implement the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy

Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies.

§ To provide for the use of land for agriculture. § To protect, conserve and enhance the biodiversity, natural resources, scenic landscapes

and heritage values of the area.


§ To ensure that use and development promotes sustainable land management practices

and infrastructure provision. § To protect, conserve and enhance the cultural heritage significance and the character

of rural and scenic non-urban landscapes. § To recognise and protect the amenity of existing rural living areas”. The land use ‘plant nursery’ is a permit required, Section 2 land use in the table of uses at Clause 35.05-1. There are no conditions associated with this land use. Clause 35.05-5 says that a permit is required for buildings and works associated with a Section 2 land use. The works proposed are limited to low barriers that define the various zones of the use, along with temporary covers (tarpaulins etc). A number of detailed decision guidelines are outlined at Clause 35.05-6. The schedule to the zone is silent. environmental audit overlay The Environmental Audit Overlay applies to the Green Wedge Zone A zoned land, including the subject land as shown in figure 4.

Figure 4 – Environmental Audit Overlay (DELWP) The purpose of the Environmental Audit Overlay at Clause 45.03 is listed as follows:


§ “To implement the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies.

§ To ensure that potentially contaminated land is suitable for a use which could be significantly adversely affected by any contamination.”

Clause 45.03-1 says that an environmental audit is required before a sensitive land use commences. The land use ‘plant nursery’ does not represent a sensitive land use, and on this basis, an environment audit is not required. environmental significance overlay, schedule 4 The Environmental Significance Overlay, Schedule 4 applies to the Green Wedge Zone A zoned land, including the subject land as shown in figure 5.

Figure 5 – Environmental Significance Overlay, Schedule 4 (DELWP) The purpose of the Environmental Significance Overlay at Clause 42.01 is listed as follows § “To implement the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy

Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies.

§ To identify areas where the development of land may be affected by environmental constraints.

§ To ensure that development is compatible with identified environmental values”.


Clause 42.01-2 states that a permit is required for buildings and works and to remove, destroy or lop any vegetation unless specifically exempted by the schedule to the zone. Section 3.0 of the Schedule says a permit is not required for fencing, out-buildings including sheds or stables with a floor area of less than 50 square metres and the removal, destruction or lopping of vegetation. As the buildings and works proposed by this application essentially relate to barriers/fencing that defines the various zones of the site, a permit is not triggered for buildings and works under this overlay. No vegetation removal is also proposed. state planning policy framework § Clause 11 is to recognise the need for protection of sensitive areas.

§ Clause 15.01 encourages urban environments that are liveable and attractive, and

the respond to their context in terms of character and landscaping. § Clause 15.01-5 seeks to protect distinctive urban forms and layout and their

relationship to landscape and vegetation. § Clause 17 promotes economic development. The plant nursery contributes to this. local planning policy framework § Clause 21.02-4 mentions that privately owned land contributes to the landscape

character and open space qualities of the municipality.

§ Clause 21.03 encourages the sustainable management of the Green Wedge. § Clause 21.05 seeks to improve the landscaping character. § Clause 21.10 deals with the ‘Green Wedge’ and seeks to:

- Support and maintain the Green Wedge areas.

- There is specific reference to protecting high quality agricultural land.

- Discouraging ad-hoc intrusion that prejudices their long term viability.

- Protect and enhance the environmental values and encourage the use of indigenous plant species in all landscaping.

- Protect the scenic and landscape values of the Green Wedge.


§ Clause 22.18 has policy direction in relation to materials recycling facilities on land

outside the urban growth boundary. particular provisions Clause 52.06 – Car Parking There is no specific parking rate for a ‘plant nursery’. There is no car parking rate listed for ‘plant nursery’. An assessment of how the proposed car parking layout responds to the objectives of Clause 52.06 is detailed in the planning analysis section of this submission. Clause 57 – Metropolitan Green Wedge Land This clause includes six purpose points based around protecting green wedge land. Clause 57.01 – Core Planning Provisions The land use ‘plant nursery’ is not listed as a prohibited land use, noting the definition ‘retail premises’ has a specific reference to excluding ‘plant nursery’. The schedule to Clause 57.01 does not list the subject land. general provisions Clause 65 – decision guidelines This clause outlines the general decision guidelines that apply in the consideration of all applications.


planning analysis the suitability of the land use and response to the green wedge a zone The proposed use of the land as a plant nursery is entirely consistent with the purpose of the Green Wedge A Zone. The land use has an agricultural base, contributes to the scenic landscape along with the scenic non-urban landscapes. The use responds to the decision guidelines of the Green Wedge A Zone at Clause 35.05-6 of the Kingston Planning Scheme as follows: § The use is agricultural based. The subject land at 10,696 square metres (or 2.6 acres)

is too small to realistically sustain a viable agricultural enterprise. The plant nursery is based around similar activity and contributes to the low scale character.

§ The low scale plant nursery does not present adverse impacts on surrounding land use.

There will be limited use of machinery and the positioning of the car parking centrally within the site provides a distance buffer to the closest abutting residential zoned land to the east.

§ The absence of any new buildings maintains the sense of spaciousness and openness

of the site and contributes to the rural feel of the area. § The site is presently devoid of any vegetation of significance and is poorly maintained.

§ This application allows indigenous canopy vegetation to be incorporated around the

perimeter of the site and creates the opportunity to significantly improve the conditions and visual amenity of the site.

§ No new vehicle crossovers are proposed, and the car parking arrangement is

convenient, safe and efficient. This modest plant nursery will generate a negligible increase in traffic volume, noting there is just one crossover in use along the 125m wide frontage compared to the numerous crossovers/driveways on the residential zoned land on the northern side of Tully Road.

§ Tully Road is a sealed road with kerb and channel located on both sides.

§ The plant nursery is a land use that does not fragment, or change the land and its future

use. The absence of any new buildings in particular allows the land use to be easily converted to an alternative land use in the future.

§ The proposal is consistent with the Kingston Green Wedge Plan 2012 as detailed in the

assessment on the following page.


response to kingston green wedge plan – april 2012

Plan Directives Response Buildings that are sited and designed to maintain an overall sense of spaciousness in the landscape (p.13)

The retention of existing buildings maintains the sense of spaciousness and openness in the landscape, and draws attention to the vegetation and sense of openness.

Adequate space around buildings for existing and new vegetation and landscaping (p.13)

There is the opportunity to incorporate perimeter planting of large indigenous trees that will contribute to the character of the area.

Future Environment (p.45)

The future environment lists the site as being in an open space area. This private land holding has limited capacity to be used as public open space, however, the plant nursery land use allows the site to be made available to members of the public to enjoy. The limited reliance on buildings also supports the future use of the land for alternative open space related land uses.

Other types of agricultural activities that could be encouraged in the future include: - Expansion of existing ‘amenity

horticulture’ – wholesale and retail nurseries (subject to secure, high quality water supply)

- Greenhouse horticulture (subject to water supply also) – (p.53)

The land use ‘plant nursery’ represents a land use that is specifically encouraged. Large on site water thanks be positioned behind existing buildings to ensure adequate supply of water.


car parking / vehicle access and traffic No car parking rate for a plant nursery is specified at Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme. In these circumstances, Clause 52.06-6 states that:

“Where a use of land is not specified in Table 1 or where a car parking requirement is not specified for the use in another provision of the planning scheme or in a schedule to the Parking Overlay, before a new use commences or the floor area or site area of an existing use is increased, car parking spaces must be provided to the satisfaction of the responsible authority”.

The car parking rate and general layout is a suitable response to this modest proposal for the following reasons: § The provision of ten car parking spaces is generous given the very modest size of this

plant nursery, and the small area of plants for display and sale. § The staff car parking is provided separately to these ten spaces, meaning the ten spaces

are available exclusively for customers. § Additional space for the parking of vehicles with trailers, or small trucks etc is available

as detailed in the accompanying traffic report. § There is significant kerb side parking to the front of the site (southern side of Tully Road)

for overflow parking in the very unlikely event there is a greater demand for car parking.

§ The car parking dimensions of 2.6m x 7.4m exceed the dimensions for a standard car

space specified at Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme (2.6m x 4.9m). § The accessway width of 7.3m exceeds the dimensions for an accessway as outlined at

Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme (6.4m). § The car parking arrangement is safe and efficient, and achieves full compliance with

Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme. § The car parking layout is also convenient for customers, noting it is well positioned

between the retail section and the sales office.

amenity impacts The land use and general operation as proposed will not impact unreasonably on the amenity of adjoining and surrounding properties for the following reasons:


§ The land use is a passive use that does not generate excessive or unreasonable levels

of noise.

§ The plants for sale are potted plants, meaning there is no digging of the grounds etc. This is relevant when considering the land use ‘agriculture’ that could entail the use of tractors and associated machinery etc is an as of right, permit not required land use in the Green Wedge A Zone.

§ No machinery is required in the preparation and selling of the potted plants.

§ The car parking area is located centrally within the site and is well away from the closest

residential zoned land to the north and east.

§ The equipment storage shed is positioned on the western side of the site, and away from the abutting residential dwelling to the east.

§ The operating hours are reasonable and consistent with what would be expected for a

nursery that abuts a residential zoned property.

§ More than adequate car parking is proposed.

§ The traffic generation will be negligible at best.

§ No new buildings are proposed, noting the eastern half of the site is presently open and will remain as such.

§ The land use actually improves what is a derelict and poorly maintained property.

§ The site abuts the driveway and garage of the closest dwelling to the east, with these

areas providing a buffer to the actual dwelling.


conclusion The proposed plant nursery is a Section 2 land use in the Green Wedge A Zone. The nursery is small and will generate a modest level of patronage. Car parking well in excess of the expected patronage levels is provided, and the actual car parking spaces, access lane and layout exceeds the dimensional requirements of the Kingston Planning Scheme. The absence of any new buildings maintains the openness and spaciousness of the site, and this application will improve what is presently a derelict and poorly maintained property that contributes little to the values sought in the Kingston Planning Scheme for Green Wedge A zoned land. There are no obvious amenity impacts generated by this modest land use that creates less noise than an agricultural land use which is as of right in the zone.

EB Traffic Solutions Pty Ltd [email protected] Mr David De Giovanni [email protected] Dear Mr De Giovanni TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT: 1 TULLY ROAD, CLARINDA The traffic assessment has been based upon:

• Clause 52.06 of the Kingston Planning Scheme;

• AutoTURN computer software program for the swept path assessment; and

• Layout plan of the proposed development at 1 Tully Road Clarinda, prepared by Modularc, Project 17, Dwg P1, Rev B dated June 18.

The following traffic assessment examines the ability for staff/visitors and a commercial vehicle to safely enter and exit the site in a forward manner. The layout plan used as a basis for the assessment is shown Attachment A.

1. Accessibility to/from car park Reference to Clause 52.06 (design standard 1) of the Kingston Planning Scheme states that: "if the accessway serves four or more spaces or connects to a road in a Road Zone, the accessway must be designed so that cars can exit the site in a forward direction." The swept paths of vehicles entering and exiting the on-site car spaces have been assessed with the use of the AutoTURN computer software for a B85 motor car. The swept path analysis undertaken on the layout plan is shown in Attachment B, which shows that motorists are able to safely enter the on-site spaces, manoeuvre on-site to then exit the site in a forward manner to Tully Road.

2. Accessibility for a car and trailer The ability for a car and trailer to access the site was assessed with the use of the AutoTURN computer software. The analysis, which is shown in Attachment C, indicates that a car and trailer can enter the site in a forward manner, manoeuvre between the recycled fence palings and potted plants area to then be able to exit from the site in a forward manner.

3. Accessibility for a delivery truck The ability for the largest truck to access the site was assessed with the use of the AutoTURN computer software.

The analysis, which is shown in Attachment D, indicates that an 8.8 m long truck can enter the site in a forward manner, manoeuvre between the recycled fence palings and potted plants area to then be able to exit from the site in a forward manner.
