SCHEDULE 1 TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERLAY
Shown on the planning scheme map as DPO1.
KYNETON SOUTH RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AREA
This schedule aims to ensure the coordinated and sequential development of the land to
provide for immediate residential development in Kyneton South. The objectives are to:
1.0

Ensure development of the area is consistent with the objectives and strategies for
Kyneton set out at Clause 21.13-2, including the neighbourhood character objectives
for the Modern Residential and Large Lot Residential precincts as relevant.

In the Modern Residential Precinct, encourage housing choice and the development of
a variety of lot sizes and types within the context of the existing Kyneton township.

In the Large Lot Residential Precinct, re-enforce a spacious, rural feel with larger lots
that can accommodate generous front and rear gardens.

Establish open space networks that provide both pedestrian and cycling links, passive
and active recreation needs, and protection of environmental features and drainage
functions.

Protect areas of remnant indigenous and significant exotic vegetation.

Recognise and protect cultural, environmental, landscape and heritage assets.

Increase stormwater capture and reuse to reduce water usage and impacts on existing
drainage infrastructure.

Provide for physical and social infrastructure and the orderly staging of development.

Ensure there are adequate road and pedestrian links allowed for across the Campaspe
River back to the existing Kyneton township.

Encourage sustainable development principles and high quality urban design.
Requirement before a permit is granted
A permit may be granted before a development plan has been prepared to the satisfaction
of the responsible authority to construct buildings and works associated with an alteration
or addition to an existing dwelling.
2.0
Conditions and requirements for permits
All residential development must be serviced with reticulated water and sewerage and
underground, reticulated electricity.
All residential development must be serviced with sealed roads and underground
stormwater drainage.
Development Contributions
Any permit in respect of a subdivision which creates a new residential lot must contain a
condition which requires the owner of the land to enter into an agreement to pay a
development contribution to Macedon Ranges Shire Council and appropriately providing
for the following matters:

The amount of the contribution is to be determined by the council.

The amount will take into account the cost of providing infrastructure to directly
service the development including road and footpath works, construction of a bridge
over the Campaspe River, traffic management improvements and drainage, as well as

a contribution to community infrastructure elsewhere in the town that may be used by
future residents in the development.
3.0

Unless the parties agree otherwise, one of the requirements of the agreement must be
that if an approved Development Contribution Plan commences before a specified
date, any monetary contribution required to be paid under the agreement must be
adjusted upwards or downwards to be consistent with that approved Development
Contribution Plan (reconciliation).

The payment under the reconciliation is to be made to or by the person who entered
into the agreement with Council or a subsequent transferor of the parent land and not
the subsequent residential lot owners.

The costs of the agreement are to be paid by the owner of the land.
Requirements for development plan
The development plan must be informed by the following matters to the satisfaction of the
responsible authority except where prior agreement in writing is provided from the
responsible authority that one or more of these actions are not relevant to the site:
A development plan must:

Be generally in accordance with the local policy for Kyneton at Clause 21.13-2.

Provide an indicative lot layout.

Identify the proposed use of all areas.

Identify any sites of conservation, heritage or archaeological significance and the
means by which they will be managed.

Provide appropriate arrangements for the provision and funding of necessary physical
and social infrastructure.

List the staging and anticipated timing of development.

Provide appropriate arrangements for the preservation of existing vegetation.

Include a landscape plan for public open space areas, including roadside verges.

Provide appropriate integration and linkages for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians
between the site and existing established road networks and adjoining development
sites.

Specify the location and type of linkages over the Campaspe River to provide access
back to the township.
 Set out a proposed subdivision layout which:-


In the Modern Residential Precinct, provides a variety of lot sizes and densities
across the development area allowing for a variety of housing types and for other
compatible land uses;

In the Large Lot Residential Precinct, provides a consistent pattern of larger lots that
provide for generous front and rear gardens;

Takes into consideration the topography of the land, particularly with regard to the
provision of useable open space, site elements such as vegetation, waterways or
other significant features, and physical infrastructure such as roads and reticulated
services (water, sewer, drainage); and

Orients lots to maximise solar access and energy efficiency.
Show the proposed size and location of any open space which:
Is clearly visible and accessible to residents within the development area;

Is connected to existing or proposed open space areas;

4.0

Is not flood effected or constrained; and

Integrated with areas and corridors of habitat significance where possible.

Include design guidelines for private realm development.

Show the location of any major infrastructure easements.

Include a stormwater management plan which provides for: protection of natural
systems; integration of stormwater treatment into the landscape; protection of water
quality; and reduction of run-off and peak flows, including the removal of sediment
litter and other urban wastes from stormwater prior to discharge. Stormwater and
drainage designs should be informed by the following documents:

WSUD Engineering Procedures: Stormwater, CSIRO Publishing, 2005;

Urban Stormwater: Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines, CSIRO
Publishing, 1999; and

Macedon Ranges Standard Specifications for Roadworks and Drainage.
Process Requirements
The development plan must be publicly exhibited for a period of two weeks prior to
approval. The responsible authority must take in to account any comments received when
considering the development plan or any amendment to the development plan.
