Waratah Village Precinct
The Waratah Village Precinct is a discreet Precinct located in the heart of Dalkeith. It includes a small commercial area and is surrounded by residential homes.
When LPS3 was gazetted in April 2019 it included changes to the zoning and density coding that will allow for greater development density within the Precinct, on both the commercial and residential lots.
The City now has an opportunity to prepare a Local Planning Policy informed by community engagement that outlines the vision for the Precinct, to provide a design response that is consistent with the character of the area.
What has been done so far?
In late 2019, the City appointed consultants to undertake initial engagement with the local community about their future vision for the Waratah Village Precinct. The feedback gathered during this consultation process will directly influence the creation of the Policy for the Precinct.
Once this initial engagement process was completed in early 2020, the City then commissioned a Character and Built Form study to be completed for the Precinct which was completed in mid-2021. This background document provides further input into the current character and context of the Precinct area, and the built form modelling controls proposed for the area.
The findings and recommendations of this study will be used as an informing document to assist in preparing a Policy that aligns with community expectation.
To ensure the local community had an opportunity to help shape the future of what the Waratah Village Precinct would look like, the City established a Community Reference Group (CRG). Following an Expression of Interest process, a total of 14 community members were selected, including representatives from local businesses.
Three CRG workshops were held from June to August 2021. Broader community engagement was held during August/September 2021, with community members invited to provide feedback through an Open House and Survey.
