6.10 Proposed Public Open Space NetworkThe draft revised Master Plan has retained the key elements of the existing planning controls, including the central public open space, foreshore reserve and village plaza.
In addition the draft revised Master Plan also identifies two new local parks in the east and west of the Precinct (Subject to further land use safety investigations).
The range, sizes and distribution of public open space has been designed to cater for all members of the community with opportunities for active and passive recreation.
Key features of the Precinct public open space network in the Precinct include:
– A diverse range of quality public open spaces, that are well-vegetated and reflect unique characters.
– Distribution of public open space to support new residential and employment uses.
– Integration into the regional the public open space network.
– Green Grid links, landscape streets and visual connections.
– Increased opportunities for passive recreation, youth and children’s play and multi-use sports fields.
– Opportunities for integration of stormwater management, urban heat reduction and enhancement of ecological values.
– Providing public access along Haslams Creek.
– Well defined visual links between separate public open space areas within the public domain.
Appendix A of this report provides indicative designs for each public open space along with material and planting guidelines and proposed programming of activities.
Figure 46 highlights the proposed public open space network within the Precinct.

6.11 Views and VistasThe draft revised Master Plan is to capture key views and vistas to anchor the new streets within the existing landscape and assist with way-finding, and create a considered relationship between the public domain and new buildings.
The draft revised Master Plan includes a road pattern that enhances existing views and provides new vistas to public open space and Sydney Olympic Park. There are four important view categories embedded in the draft revised Master Plan as follows:
View Corridor or Vista
Generally long range view corridor towards a prominent feature or defining a key public domain element such as the Olympic Park Markers and Olympic Stadium.
Key View to Public Open Space
Localise short range views to key proposed public open spaces within the Precinct such as the central public open space.
Key Vista - Urban Arrival
Entry views along Uhrig Road to the north, providing a vista that transitions from the open plaza of Sydney Olympic Park to the urban character of the village centre.
Key Vista - Landscape Gateway
Key views at the main entry points to the Precinct include a strong landscape character visually connecting the Precinct which includes the Sydney Olympic Park, with the wider parkland character.
Figure 47 highlights the location of these views and vistas that capture visual connections between key landscape and built elements in and around the Precinct.

6.12 Proposed Primary School LocationThrough the development of this draft revised Master Plan and in discussions with the DoE an alternative location has been identified for the proposed primary school.
The proposed site is of a similar size to the location identified in the existing planning controls (zoned SP2 Infrastructure), but has been located further south in the core of the Precinct adjacent to the central public open space.
The key advantages of the proposed location are:
– Co-located with the central public open space.
– Highly accessibility via the east west pedestrian spine.
– Improved connections to other destinations within the Precinct such as the village centre and Haslams Creek.
– Located on the Green Spine Road with dedicated off road cycleways.
– Close to the Parramatta Light Rail terminus and stop on Uhrig road and local bus routes along the Green Spine.
Figure 48 shows the current location of the existing and proposed new primary school location adjacent to the central public open space.

6.13 Light rail stop and terminus indicative concept design A key element ion the draft revised Master Plan is the incorporation of the light rail stop and terminus on Uhrig Road within the proposed village centre.
A concept design for the light rail stop has been prepared in collaboration with TfNSW to inform the draft revised Master Plan.
The key elements of the concept design include:
– Accommodation of a terminus side platform stop within the section of Uhrig Road north of the intersection with the Green Spine.
– Increased pedestrian permeability around the proposed stop.
– Providing for future extension of the light rail network south along Uhrig Road, through a median along the southern section of Uhrig Road.
– Integrating opportunities for a transport interchange to local bus services.
– Provision of pedestrian access at each end of the light rail platform.
– Incorporation of a raised planter bed as a buffer stop at the southern end of the stop.
– No overhead wiring and support poles, with power to be provide power for vehicles by an in-ground rail.
– Allowing for a light rail vehicle cross-over between the stop and the intersection of Uhrig Road and Edwin Flack Avenue.
– Balustrades between the back of the platform and the street.
– Traffic signals to facilitate pedestrian crossing to the platforms.
In order to accommodate the new light rail stop and terminus, the Uhrig Road the reserve has been widened from 20 metres to 34 metres north of the Green Spine Road and 30 metres south of the Green Spine Road.
Further detailed design of the light rail stop and terminus will be undertaken by TfNSW to finalise the concept design and integrate it into the wider public domain once TfNSW makes an investment decision, expected in late 2018.
Figure 49 provides a concept design for the light rail stop and terminus in the village centre.

Figure 50: Proposed ground level built form setbacks
Carter Street Precinct - Draft Revised Master Plan and Urban Design Report | Page 56
6.14 Built Form Ground Level SetbacksThe interface between the public domain and private lots is a key consideration in the development of successful urban renewal projects.
The proposed ground level setbacks within the Precinct reflect the different conditions, land use and built form situations.
The draft revised Master Plan setback strategy is a refinement of the existing planning controls which maintain setbacks for landscaping purposes.
The refinements proposed in the draft revised Master Plan further articulate setbacks in the village centre and provide for additional through site pedestrian links around Uhrig Road to increase accessibility and permeability around the proposed light rail stop and terminus.
Key features of the proposed ground level setbacks include:
– Deep soil landscape setbacks for the predominately residential areas.
– Generous landscape setbacks on key approach roads.
– Active frontages and zero lot setbacks in the village centre and retail areas to reflect the higher levels of activity.
– Provision for through-site links within the village centre and around the proposed light rail stop and terminus.
– Opportunity to increase landscaping along the southern edge of Carter Street in the employment area.
Figure 50 highlights the interfaces between private land and the public domain. The table on the next page further describes each setback type.

Figure 51: Proposed building typologies
6.15 Building TypologiesThe draft revised Master Plan has been developed to provide a diversity of building typologies, related to the lot size, land use, location, and desired character.
The existing planning controls provided for tower and podium building forms within the local village centre with perimeter blocks in all other locations, with few controls for streetwalls.
The draft revised Master Plan seeks to refine and coordinate built form to create a uniform approach to streetscape and public open space interfaces across the Precinct.
The draft revised Master Plan building typologies are distributed into zones including:
Residential Perimeter Block and Tower
Residential perimeter blocks with internal private courtyards and towers on key corners are provided through the centre of the Precinct, with heights up to 115 metres (36 storeys).
Residential Tower and Podium
Residential towers and low scale podiums are proposed to the south east of the village centre, with heights up to 112 metres (34 storeys).
Residential Courtyard Block
Buildings that step down to form a low scale interface are provided along Haslams Creek.
Mixed Use Tower and Podium
The village centre (zoned B2 Local Centre) provides for lower scale podium forms with lower level non residential uses and sleeved parking, with heights up to 90 metres (29 storeys).
Employment Zone
This future campus is comprised office buildings up to 24 metres (six storeys).
Figure 51 shows the building typologies envisaged within the Precinct, and indicative sections on the following pages have been included to provide further clarity on the proposed building typologies.
The typologies have been developed with regards to:
– Incorporating a mix of land uses within development blocks.
– Vertical and horizontal articulation.
– Ground level setbacks.
– Allowance for deep-soil planting zones.
– Visual breaks in buildings.
– Vertical transition between towers and podiums.
– An approach to sleeved podium parking.

Employment Zone Typology
This zone is intend to provide for high quality employment development that will locate jobs close to proposed public transport and upgraded road infrastructure.
A key design outcome is the presentation and character of the employment zone, and therefore a high quality landscape interface fronting onto Carter Street is important.
It is envisaged that the private open space areas fronting Carter Street will have high quality landscape, with mature tree planting, and any surface car parking will incorporate trees and soft landscape elements.
Figure 62 and 63 show the indicative built form for the employment zone typology and its private open space areas that form the interface with Carter Street.

Carter Street Precinct - Draft Revised Master Plan and Urban Design Report | Page 65
6.16 Proposed Streetwall ApproachThe existing planning controls define streetwall heights within the village centre around Uhrig Road, requiring a setback of 3 metres above a podium level of 3 to 6 levels.
The draft revised Master Plan proposes uniform streetwalls to define enclosure of the central public open space, and provide uniform edges along the perimeter of the Precinct. It defines the built edge to Haslams Creek and a uniform approach to north south oriented roads.
The design approach has been to create a human scale on streets and within public open spaces by having lower street edge blocks and higher point towers that are generally located along the north side of Carter Street.
It is intended that the higher or lower streetwall height would define corner blocks.
There are three streetwall heights defined:
– Three storey with the upper level setback by 3 metres.
– Five storey with the upper level setback by 3 metres.
– Seven storey with the upper level setback by 3 metres.
It is envisaged that tower elements with have horizontal articulation at the adjoining upper streetwall level to form articulation zones along with breaks in the built form to provide vertical articulation.
Figure 64 indicates the proposed streetwall heights throughout the Precinct.

Figure 65: Proposed tower locations and storey heights
Carter Street Precinct - Draft Revised Master Plan and Urban Design Report | Page 66
6.17 Proposed Tower LocationsThe existing planning controls identify indicative locations for towers within the village centre and along Birnie Avenue. The draft revised Master Plan proposes an alternative approach to built form within the Precinct. Moving away from blocks of up to 10 storeys, to lower perimeter edges of between four and eight storeys with taller slender tower (greater than 20 storey) elements with floorplates no larger than 800 sqm.
The preferred approach provides for reduced streetwalls and towers that maintain the overall development density and provides for quality streetscapes.
The tower elements are generally located on the corners of blocks and where possible along the north edge of Carter Street. This approach also has the added benefit of reducing residential density close to the noise contours generated from major events within Sydney Olympic Park.
Tower heights have also been varied to provide for a dynamic skyline as well as provide a scaling down of general building heights,decreasing to the west at the interface with Haslams Creek.
Figure 65 illustrates the approximate location for tall slender towers (buildings above 12 storeys) within the Precinct and the table below highlights the relationship between the height in storeys and metres.
The tower heights do not necessarily reflect the maximum possible building heights, rather an approach that provides for a varied and dynamic skyline.

6.18 Public Domain EnclosurePublic domain enclosure refers to the relationship between public domain elements such as streets and public open spaces and the adjacent buildings.
Public domain enclosure is defined within the existing planning controls by the Auburn LEP 2010 Height of Buildings controls. The streetwall controls proposed in the draft revised Master Plan provide an additional layer of development controls to further define the relationship between the public domain and the adjoining development.
The approach to allow for lower streetwall and perimeter blocks with tall slender point towers will provide a more human scale to the streets within the Precinct and a better relationship to public open spaces.
The general reduction in building heights for streetwalls also results in improved solar access to the public domain, public open space and lower levels of development.
The illustrative studies highlight how the proposed modifications to the built form controls will change the relationship between built form and the streets and public open space within the Precinct.
The illustrative studies also highlight indicative solar access planes for midday at mid-winter (21 June), the equinox (21 March) and summer solstice (21 December), and show how a reduction in building scale on street and public open space edges could improve sunlight penetration to the public domain and development throughout the year.
Typical Local Road
The proposed reduced height of buildings fronting local roads will provide for better solar access to the public domain and the lower levels of development on these streets. The existing planning controls had the potential to lead to a situation where the public domain and lower building levels were potentially overshadowed during the day in winter.
Figures 66 and 67 provide a comparison between the potential built form under the existing planning controls and draft revised Master Plan.
Uhrig Road North
The draft revised Master Plan allows for improved solar access to Uhrig Road during mid winter.
This is achieved through the proposed widening of the road reserve from 20 metres to 34 metres to accommodate the future potential Parramatta Light Rail stop and terminus.
Figures 68 and 69 provide a comparison between the potential built form under the existing planning controls and draft revised Master Plan.

Carter Street
The proposed reduction in streetwall heights fronting the northern edge of Carter Street will provide for better solar access to the public domain and future landscape buffer running parallel to Carter Street. In particular, the proposed dedicated off-road cycle path will receive sunlight all year.
The existing planning controls had the potential to lead to a situation where the whole extent of Carter Street would be in shadow during mid-winter.
Figures 70 and 71 provide a comparison between the potential built form under the existing planning controls and the draft revised Master Plan.
Green Spine Road
The proposed reduction in streetwall heights along the Green Spine Road has the potential to improve solar access to the central public open space, the proposed school site and the public domain.
The existing planning controls had the potential to lead to a situation where the public domain and lower building levels were potentially overshadowed during the day in winter.

6.19 Solar Access Analysis of Public Open SpaceSolar access to public space has been a critical consideration in the development of the draft revised Master Plan and has informed the approach to the refined built from.
Analysis of solar access to public open space has been undertaken as part of the design refinement of the draft revised Master Plan. The analysis shows that all public open spaces receive good access to direct sunlight.
Figures 74 to 77 illustrate solar access to the public open space network and public road reserves at mid-winter (21 June, between 9am and 3pm) for both the draft revised Master Plan and existing planning controls.
The analysis shows that solar access to the central public open space is improved due to the reorganisation of super lots, changes to the built form approach and the proposed enlargement of the public open space area. It also shows that solar access to road reserves within the draft revised Master Plan is similar to the level of solar access achieved in the existing planning controls.

6.20 Allocation of Commercial and Retail Areas The existing planning controls identifies commercial and retail areas within the village centre only. The draft revised Master Plan provides for two distinct retail and commercial areas.
The Village Centre - Areas A, B, and C
The primary focus for non-residential uses are located in the village centre on Uhrig Road.
The village centre is located in land zoned B2 Local Centre. Development in this area must comply with the objectives of the zone providing a range of retail, commercial and service functions on lower levels with shop-top housing above.
It is anticipated that the Precinct will provide for approximately 42,000 sqm of non-residential uses within the village centre.
The table below sets out the approximate allocation of non-residential floor space anticipated across the draft revised Master Plan:
Allocation of Non-Residential Floorspace
Area A - Land north of the Green Spine and west of Uhrig Road
13,060 sqm
Area B - Land south of the Green Spine and west of Uhrig Road
13,720 sqm
Area C - Land east of Uhrig Road
15,220 sqm
Figure 78 highlight the location of the non-residential uses within the village centre.
Areas Adjacent to Haslams Creek - Area D
Located in the south western corner of the Precinct, a secondary activity area is situated on Haslams Creek Foreshore. It is proposed to provide for active land uses such as retail and alfresco dining adjacent to Haslams Creek to take advantage of the amenity and natural environment.
It is also anticipated that small scale local convenience retail will be found on the ground floor of new developments across the Precinct.
The allocation of non-residential ground level floorspace in Haslams Creek would be based on demand and the desire to activate the foreshore edge.
The zone for non-residential uses is identified as Area D on the key plan below and is shown on Figure 79.

6.21 Better Placed - Draft Revised Master Plan AssessmentBetter Placed (Government Architect NSW) identifies seven objectives for better design of the built environment. Achieving these objectives ensures our cities and towns, our public realm, our landscapes, buildings and public domain will be healthy, responsive, integrated, equitable, and resilient.
The following section describes how the draft revised Master Plan responds to the objectives of Better Placed.
PLACED
BETTER
An integrated design policy for the built environment of New South Wales
Objective 1 Objective 2 Objective 3 Objective 4 Objective 5 Objective 6 Objective 7
Better fit contextual, local and of its place
Good design in the built environment is informed by and derived from its location, context and social setting. It is place-based and relevant to and resonant with local character, heritage and communal aspirations. It also contributes to evolving and future character and setting.
Better performance, sustainable, adaptable and durable
Environmental sustainability and responsiveness is essential to meet the highest performance standards for living and working. Sustainability is no longer an optional extra, but a fundamental aspect of functional, whole of life design.
Better for community - inclusive, connected and diverse
The design of the built environment must seek to address growing economic and social disparity and inequity, by creating inclusive, welcoming and equitable environments. Incorporating diverse uses, housing types and economic frameworks will support engaging places and resilient communities.
Better for people - safe, comfortable and liveable
The built environment must be designed for people with a focus on safety, comfort and the basic requirement of using public space. The many aspects of human comfort which affect the usability of a place must be addressed to support good places for people.
Better working - functional, efficient and fit for purpose
Having a considered, tailored response to the program or requirements of a building or place, allows for efficiency and usability with the potential to adapt to change. Buildings and spaces which work well for their proposed use will remain valuable and well-utilised.
Better value - creating and adding value
Good design generates ongoing value for people and communities and minimises costs over time. Creating shared value of place in the built environment raises standards and quality of life for users, as well as adding return on investment for industry.
Better look and feel - engaging, inviting and attractive
The built environment should be welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, encouraging communities to use and enjoy local places. The feel of a place, and how we use and relate to our environments is dependent upon the aesthetic quality of our places, spaces and buildings. The visual environment should contribute to its surroundings and promote positive engagement.
How the Draft Revised Master Plan Responds to the Objective
The draft revised Master Plan responds to the emerging character of Sydney Olympic Park and the unique setting. The proposed built form transitions in scale, ensuring a good built form relationship across Haslams Creek.
View corridors to iconic buildings within the Olympic Park and prominent landscape features further ‘ground’ the pattern of streets and public open spaces within the local context.
The draft revised Master Plan provides connected streets encouraging active transport options to access destinations along the east west spine and links to the regional public open space network and cycle links.
Solar access to the public domain has also been enhanced. The draft revised Master Plan having less areas than receive no direct sunlight in mid-winter than the existing planning controls.
The Draft Master Plan allows for a broad range of building typologies that relate to the different locations and uses across the Precinct.
The draft revised Master Plan provides for significant and accessible public open space and a new primary school in the core of the Precinct.
The draft revised Master Plan also provides new pedestrian and cycle links to adjoining areas in including, the Sydney Olympic Park Town Centre, Newington and Lidcombe.
A comprehensive public domain approach ensures streets balance functional needs with landscaping. The proposed form, bulk and scale of development has been conceived to maximise solar access to public parks and public open space areas
The draft revised Master Plan proposes building forms that address the streets and public open spaces within the Precinct. The draft revised Master Plan will also provide for a fine-grain public domain pattern in the village centre and to respond to a diverse community.
The draft revised Master Plan provides value for the end users through social benefits such as the provision of multiple public open space areas throughout the Precinct along with a new primary school.
Environmental benefits include the public open space connectivity to the Sydney Green Grid and economic benefits include the provision of new area for employment and retail and the identification of a secondary activation node by Haslams Creek.
Proximity to Sydney Olympic Park and the events and public open space areas also adds value for the new community.
The draft revised Master Plan provides for an attractive public domain with a potential for a series of diverse connected public spaces. The modified built form approach has the potential to provide for streets fronted by lower scale development and taller slender towers that maximise views.

– Zoning.
– Height of building.
– Floor space ratio.
– Land reservation acquisitions.
A summary of the proposed change are set out in the following sections.
7.2 ZoningExisting Planning Controls
The existing land use zones within the Precinct are as follows:
– B2 Local Centre within the village centre.
– B6 Enterprise Corridor along the southern side of Carter Street.
– SP2 Infrastructure (School) for the existing school site to the north of the Precinct.
– RE1 Public Recreation for various existing and proposed public open spaces.
– R4 High Density Residential for most remaining parts of the Precinct.
Proposed Amendments to the Auburn LEP 2010
The draft revised Master Plan proposes changes to:
• The location of the school site and the relevant SP2 Infrastructure (School) zoning.
• The central public open space (zoned RE1) is to be enlarged.
• Inclusion of a clause to protect the corridor for the proposed Parramatta Light Rail (Stage 2)
The existing and proposed zoning are shown in Figures 80 and 81.
