IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYPLANNING SCHEME CONTROLSThe Industrial 3 zone is no longer the appropriate zone for most of theland within the study area. It is recommended that most of the land inthe Industrial 3 zone be re-zoned to Business 2 zone.This zone allows a wide range of uses to be approved, including offices, industry,residential and retail. Of all the zones that could be applied to facilitate a mix of uses,this zone would give Council the widest possible degree of discretion. In this regard itdoes not have the shortcomings of the Mixed Use Zone, in which a dwelling is aSection 1 (permitted) use.It will be important to apply development criteria via a design development overlay.This will provide a flexible mechanism for introducing development guidelines within aschedule to the overlay for the critical sites. These guidelines should address detailssuch as heights, setbacks and landscape treatments as detailed within Section 5.3.3of the report.RECOMMENDATIONSA major conclusion of this study is that there is a need to amend DarebinPlanning Scheme to facilitate land use changes to better meet the changed role ofthe area.RECOMMENDATION 1The recommendations of the Junction Integrated Development Plan beincorporated into and inform the review of the Darebin Municipal StrategicStatement (MSS).RECOMMENDATION 2A Junction Area Local Policy be included in Clause 22 of the Darebin PlanningScheme to provide a comprehensive overview of the recommendations of thestudy and to provide clear direction for land owners, tenants and anyprospective purchasers.RECOMMENDATION 3The objectives of the Junction Area Local Policy are to:• Enhance the existing commercial spine along High Street and PlentyRoad by encouraging a mix of uses.• Improve the amenity of High Street and Plenty Road.
