Consultation has concluded

The Waratah Precinct extends along several streets in Dalkeith and surrounds the Waratah Village mixed use area on Waratah Avenue.  

The City now has an opportunity to prepare a policy informed by community engagement which outlines the vision for the Precinct. This Policy will provide guidelines for a design response that is consistent with the character of the area. 

What has been done so far? 

The City commissioned a Local Distinctiveness Study and Context Analysis and Built Form Modelling Report for the Waratah Precinct, which were completed in mid-2021. The findings and recommendations of these informing studies will be used to assist in preparing a policy that aligns with community expectations. 

To ensure the local community has an opportunity to help shape the future of the Waratah Precinct, the City established a Community Reference Group (CRG) comprised of 15 members of the local community, including residents and local business owners. With the assistance of engagement facilitators, the CRG was guided through a series of workshops, ending in August 2021. In these workshops, the CRG considered the informing studies, as well as built form considerations and a vision for the Precinct. 

The broader community were provided the opportunity to review feedback gathered from the CRG and provide their own input on the Precinct vision and key design considerations through a survey and open house. The Community Engagement Outcomes Report details the outcomes from the CRG workshops and engagement with the broader community. 

Using the informing studies, as well as the outcomes from community engagement, the draft Waratah Precinct Design Response – Local Planning Policy was prepared. This policy was presented to Council in April 2022, where it was adopted for the purpose of advertising to the community.  

Policy Information Sheets have been prepared to provide an overview of the Policy, and for each Sub-Precinct:
