<strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> will be:<br />
• A place of beauty, where excellence in landscape,<br />
architectural and urban design contribute to a strong<br />
‘sense of place’, while also addressing important visual and<br />
environmental performance requirements.<br />
• A place of significant housing choice, that caters for a<br />
diversity of people with varying means.<br />
• A connected community with integrated transport and<br />
open space networks, community facilities and state of the<br />
art telecommunication.<br />
• Designed with nature in mind, utilising indigenous and<br />
native plants and integrating conservation areas to foster<br />
respect among residents for the environment.<br />
• A residential precinct that is a model for the conservation of<br />
urban ecology.<br />
• A place where residents have a sense of ownership and<br />
pride, which together with the beautiful environment and<br />
excellent amenities, contributes to a healthy community.<br />
• A place with inviting and thriving town centres, where it is<br />
natural for residents of all ages to meet, shop and carry out<br />
business.<br />
• A place that recognises the adjoining RBGC as a major<br />
strategic asset and conserves, enhances and integrates with<br />
its ecological and landscape qualities<br />

PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN<br />
THE PLAN<br />
The <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Precinct Structure Plan as shown left covers an area of 318 hectares (786 acres). This plan shows the planned<br />
structural elements including main roads, parks, wetlands and urban development areas. The <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Precinct Structure Plan<br />
document details how each element is to be delivered. It can be viewed with the other detailed documents at: www.gaa.vic.gov.<br />
au/Precinct_Structure_Plans<br />
THE vISIoN<br />
<strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> will be a unique community where physical landform, landscape character and environmental management<br />
are the key planning and design drivers. <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> will be an innovative model for the creation of an ecological,<br />
landscaped and environmentally sustainable residential area that provides for housing diversity, quality community<br />
facilities and vibrant town centres at urban densities.<br />
HoUSING QUALITY ANd CHoICE<br />
Providing for well designed and diverse housing is a key goal<br />
for the Precinct. Lots ranging from 300 square metres or less<br />
near town centres to 900 square metres or more adjoining the<br />
botanic gardens, will provide opportunities for families to create<br />
their homes in ways that suit them.<br />
FUTURE TRANSPoRT NETWoRk<br />
Key to the delivery of a strong transport network at <strong>Botanic</strong><br />
<strong>Ridge</strong> will be the upgrade of Craig Road and the delivery of a<br />
new road (Casey Fields Boulevard) linking to Cranbourne East.<br />
A bus-ready grid of roads, incorporating on road cycle paths will<br />
also be delivered within the precinct area, linking town centres,<br />
schools and key sports fields. This will be complemented by an<br />
extensive network of pedestrian and shared paths within the<br />
road reserves and alongside waterways and wildlife corridors.<br />
ENvIRoNmENT ANd INNovATIoN<br />
The plan implements the high standards for environmental<br />
housing recommended by the Victorian Bushfire Royal<br />
Commission, to ensure homes are able to take full advantage of<br />
the exceptional opportunities of the adjoining RBGC.<br />
Two significant wildlife corridors will be created to provide<br />
habitat and movement opportunities for the Nationally listed<br />
Southern Brown bandicoot, to and from RBGC. Additionally,<br />
waterways, wetlands streets and parks will be planted with<br />
indigenous and native plants, drawing inspiration from the<br />
award winning RBGC Australian Garden.<br />
Storm water from the precinct will be captured and treated so<br />
that it can be used by residents via the recycled water network<br />
that will service the area.<br />
PLANNING PERmITS<br />
Two permit applications and their associated draft planning<br />
permits are also being circulated as part of this consultation<br />
process. These applications seek to subdivide land for<br />
approximately 1400 residential lots including land for a town<br />
centre and two primary schools as shown.<br />

PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN<br />
NOVEMBER 2011<br />
New plan for premium Australian<br />
themed community at <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong><br />
The <strong>Growth</strong> <strong>Areas</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> and the City of Casey have<br />
been working collaboratively to draft the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong><br />
Precinct Structure Plan. The <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Precinct<br />
Structure Plan (PSP) sets out a 15 year plan for the<br />
development of approximately 3,200 new homes<br />
accommodating around 9,000 residents. The plan builds<br />
on and integrates with the Junction Village community<br />
and the new community around Settlers Run Golf<br />
Course.<br />
Incorporating the rolling hills and native landscape of<br />
the area, including the adjoining Royal <strong>Botanic</strong> Gardens<br />
Cranbourne (RBGC), the plan delivers a residential<br />
community embedded in a network of boulevards, parks<br />
and waterways that deliver significant enhancement of<br />
local landscape and conservation features.<br />
The Structure Plan provides for extensive housing choice<br />
including larger lots adjacent to the botanic gardens and<br />
townhouses and villa units focussed on town centres<br />
and local parks. Land is set aside for two state primary<br />
schools, kindergartens, two new multi-use sports<br />
reserves, two local town centres and a comprehensive<br />
road and trail network.<br />
The GAA wishes to hear your views on the plan. Please<br />
provide your comments to the <strong>Growth</strong> <strong>Areas</strong> <strong>Authority</strong><br />
by Friday the 23rd of December 2011. Pending<br />
resolution of any matters raised through the consultation<br />
period, the GAA intends to recommend that the Minister<br />
for Planning approve of the plan as a planning scheme<br />
amendment to the Casey Planning Scheme.<br />

dRAFT AmENdmENT To THE CASEY PLANNING SCHEmE<br />
The proposed changes to the Casey Planning Scheme (Amendment C133) include:<br />
Incorporation, via the Schedule to Clause 81.01, of:<br />
• the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Precinct Structure Plan<br />
• the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Development Contributions Plan<br />
• the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Native Vegetation Precinct Plan<br />
Other changes include:<br />
• Rezoning 11ha of RBGC land and <strong>Botanic</strong> Drive from Urban <strong>Growth</strong> Zone to Public Conservation and Recreation<br />
Zone.<br />
• Rezoning the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> area (the plan area) to Urban <strong>Growth</strong> Zone 4 (UGZ4). This zone sets out the land use and<br />
development controls for the precinct. This zone requires land use and development to be generally in accordance<br />
with the incorporated <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Precinct Structure Plan.<br />
• Introduction and application of Schedule 15 to the Development Contributions Plan Overlay (DCPO15) to the<br />
precinct. This overlay requires planning permits to be consistent with the incorporated <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Development<br />
Contributions Plan (the DCP).<br />
• Removes the Environmental Significance Overlay Schedule 3 (ESO3) from the land within the precinct and part of<br />
the RBGC and extends the Environmental Significance Overlay Schedule 2 (ESO2) over the 11ha of RBGC land not<br />
currently covered by ESO2.<br />
• Removes the Wildfire Management Overlay (WMO) from the northern part of the precinct and extend it over the<br />
11ha of RBGC land not currently covered by the WMO.<br />
• Applying a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO) in favour of Casey City Council to facilitate the connection of local roads<br />
on a number of parcels of land in the northern portion of the precinct.<br />
• Amending the Schedule to Clause 34.01 Business 1 Zone (B1Z) to include floor space provisions for shop uses, office<br />
and trade supplies in the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Local Town Centres.<br />
• Use the <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Native Vegetation Precinct Plan (<strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> NVPP) to manage native vegetation within the<br />
amendment area by listing it in the Schedule to Clause 52.16.<br />
• Provide for public open space contributions when land is subdivided by amending the schedule to clause 52.01.<br />
• Updating the Schedule to Clause 61.03 to add a new map 18DPCO to the list of maps.<br />
