Edmondson Park South Development Control Plan 2012 - Landcom

Edmondson Park South DCP 2012 November 2012
3.0 Urban Structure and Public Domain
The public domain is the part of Edmondson Park South which is not privately owned, and is accessible to the
public. The design, management and safety of elements within the public domain such as public streets,
parks and spaces, paving, street furniture, street trees, and gardens should be coordinated so that the
character and image of the location and its environmental and cultural values are protected and enhanced.
3.1 Street Network
Objectives
1. To provide for the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrians, bicycles and motor traffic and on street
parking requirements.
2. To provide an attractive and safe urban streetscape environment.
3. To provide a hierarchy of streets with good connectivity and minimal use of cul-de-sacs that utilises
features and landmarks to enhance wayfinding for pedestrians, buses, private vehicles.
4. To encourage less motor vehicle use by enhancing pedestrian and cycle connections to the station, Town
Centre, schools and parks.
5. To encourage cycling throughout Edmondson Park South.
Controls
1. The street network is to be provided generally in accordance with Figure 6 and Table 4 below. Where
any variation to the residential street network is proposed, the alternative street network is to be
designed to achieve the objectives.
2. Street design is to be in accordance with the indicative street cross sections at Figures 7 - 16. Alternative
street designs may be permitted on a case by case basis if they preserve the functional objectives and
requirements of the design standards.
3. All subdivision DAs are to specify the street hierarchy and indicate the various street types and
intersection treatments.
4. No vehicular access to residential properties is permitted directly from Campbelltown Road or Macdonald
Road. Access to these lots will be from a service road or laneway.
5. Cul-de-sacs or mews may be included only in limited and appropriate circumstances where the applicant
can demonstrate that street network objectives are satisfied.
6. The design of the local street network is to:
a) establish a grid-Iike street network pattern to facilitate walking and cycling and enable direct local
vehicle trips,
b) create a safe environment for walking and cycling with safe crossing points,
c) encourage a low-speed traffic environment,
d) optimise solar access opportunities for dwellings,
e) take account of topography and view lines,
f) provide frontage to and maximise surveillance of open space and riparian corridors,
g) facilitate wayfinding and place making opportunities by taking into account streetscape features,
adjacent built form controls, artwork and provision for small open spaces and pocket parks, and
h) retain existing trees, where appropriate, within the road reserve.
7. Footpaths are to be provided consistent with the street sections (Figures 7 - 16) and on both sides of all
streets within the Town Centre, urban residential streets and along key pedestrian routes in suburban
streets. Elsewhere footpaths are to be provided on at least one side and on both sides where pedestrian
or vehicular traffic is high.
8. On street parallel parking is to be provided consistent with the street sections (Figures 7 – 16).
Subdivision Development Applications are to demonstrate that lots with frontages less than 10m have
reasonable street parking.
9. On street bicycle facilities are to be provided in accordance with the street sections (Figures 7 – 16).
