Re: Item CR12.128 - State Netball Centre - Design Approval
Question
In regard to item CR12.128 State Netball Centre Design Approval, given that the
affected residents have not been given the opportunity to have any input into the
location and design of the State Netball Centre, and that due to its poor architectural
quality and immediate proximity to houses on Selby Street, will the Committee
consider amending the Administration's recommendation to incorporate an amended
condition e) and a new condition f) and g) as follows:- (e) the final detailed design of
the landscaping within the State Netball Centre lease area incorporating the following
additional landscape treatments:- i) suitable screening tree species being planted
along the extent of the western boundary of the lease area to soften the building’s
appearance and to improve its presentation in its suburban context; ii) tree planting in
the central median of the east/west entry road (with the exception of the controlled
pedestrian crossing points) (f) the final detailed design of the roof and western façade
of the State Netball Centre building being modified to improve its presentation to Selby
Street, with the remaining façade designs being consistent with the application
submitted by the State and attached to this report; (g) the Department of Sport and
Recreation consulting with the surrounding residents in regard to the final building
design and landscaping, prior to an application for Approval to Commence
Development being submitted to the Town of Cambridge for determination by the
North West Metropolitan Development Assessment Panel.
Response
This matter will be discussed at tonight's meeting. The questions and Administration
comment would be circulated to Elected Members prior to Council considering this
