3.0 PRECINCT CHARACTERTo determine the character of the Precinct, a land use survey was conducted. Thisidentified a range of characteristics that define the Precinct as a unique place within thehills. As a result, the following list of characteristics are considered to be the essence ofthe Glen Forrest Village Centre:• a village community within a bushland setting;• a population composition that:- is mature with an average age of 35 years;- is likely to remain stable with little fluctuations;- is generally well educated;- has low unemployment; and- high home ownership that corresponds with a low number of rentalaccommodation;• a residential area that:- is low density, well established and caters predominantly for single dwellingsin a non suburban appearance;- residents prefer to live on large lot sizes with a sense of tranquillity;- is almost fully developed with anticipated minimal population growth; and- has natural or earthy colours associated with the hills used on mostcrossovers and driveways (e.g. gravel);• a leafy, open streetscape that:- is well vegetated, particularly with mature trees;- has unobtrusive houses that are generally well screened from the road;- has a lack of visible front fencing; and- reinforces the perception of a low density residential environment that is nonsuburbia;• public open space that:- collectively, is a large area compared to typical suburban areas;- has a range of recreational, environmental and aesthetic uses; and- contains areas which are of both local and regional significance;• retention of indigenous vegetation on both public open spaces, road reserves andgardens provide a natural complexion suitable for a hills suburb;• a robust community infrastructure base;• two local centres that provide a range of services and promote a villageatmosphere;• contains a number of heritage listed places that have considerable historic value tothe local community;• a variety of road entries into the village centre; and• a lack of land use uniformity with an adhoc distribution of shopping, community andactive recreational uses.It is apparent that the Glen Forrest Village Centre has strong community, environmentaland historical themes. It is this sense of place that this Plan seeks to protect andenhance for the benefit of the local community.GLEN FORREST VILLAGE CENTRE PRECINCT PLAN3
