Purpose The Mixed Use Zone is developed and used for a wide range of compatible activities.

Accommodating growth The Mixed Use Zone has an important role in accommodating growth and has sufficient serviced, resilient development capacity and additional infrastructure to meet business, and to a lesser extent residential growth needs.

Compatibility with other employment areas and the hierarchy of centres Activities and development will be of an appropriate scale and type that do not undermine the vitality, role and function of the City Centre and other Centres as set out in the hierarchy of centres.

Amenity and design Development in the Mixed Use Zone contributes to creating a well-functioning urban environment and a diverse local context.

Managing adverse effects Adverse effects from use and development of the Mixed Use Zone are managed effectively, particularly on more sensitive environments in neighbouring zones.

Accommodating growth Provide for the use and development of the Mixed Use Zone to meet the City’s needs for business activities and to a lesser extent housing, including: A variety of building type, size, affordability and distribution, including forms of medium density housing; Efficient, well integrated and strategic use of available development sites; and Convenient access to state highways and key transport routes.

Enabled activities Enable a wide range of compatible activities in the Mixed Use Zone where they are of an appropriate nature, scale and intensity for the zone and the hierarchy of centres, including: Commercial activities; Community facilities; Educational facilities; Recreation activities; Arts, culture and entertainment activities; Emergency service facilities; Community corrections activities; Visitor accommodation; Residential activities above ground floor level; Public transport activities; Industrial activities; Carparking activities; and Hospital activities and healthcare facilities.

Managing larger-scale retail activities Only allow the establishment of integrated retail activities and large supermarkets in the Mixed Use Zone if it can be demonstrated that they will: Not result in significant adverse impacts on the vitality, role and function of the City Centre or any Metropolitan, Local or Neighbourhood Centres; Not result in significant adverse impacts on the sustainability, safety or efficiency of the transport network and the hierarchy of roads from trip patterns, travel demand or vehicle use; and Be compatible with adjoining land uses.

Avoiding heavy industrial activities Avoid heavy industrial activities from locating in the Mixed Use Zone.

Residential activities Ensure the ongoing functional use of the Mixed Use Zone for a range of business uses by: Restricting residential activities being established at the ground floor level of buildings; Ensuring residential activities are designed and constructed to provide good on-site amenity and to avoid reverse sensitivity effects on non-residential activities within the zone and Fulfilling the intent of the Centres and Mixed Use Design Guide.

Design of new development Encourage a high standard of built form and amenity while: Enabling innovation and choice in the design of new built development to reflect the diverse neighbourhood context of the Mixed Use Zone; and Fulfilling the intent of the Centres and Mixed Use Design Guide.

Zone interfaces Require use and development of the Mixed Use Zone to maintain a reasonable amenity for adjoining Residential or Open Space Zones or other sensitive uses.

Purpose The MUZ-PREC01 contributes to meeting the City’s needs for housing and business land, and supports the hierarchy of centres.

Activities Activities and development will be of an appropriate scale and type that do not undermine the vibrancy of the Neighbourhood Centre Zone, Local Centre Zone, and Metropolitan Centre Zone and the primacy of the City Centre Zone.

Amenity and Design Development in the MUZ-PREC01 is achieved that contributes to creating a good quality, well-functioning urban environment and is compatible with the surrounding residential context.

Enabled activities Enable a range of activities in the MUZ-PREC01 that contribute positively to the purpose of the zone including: Commercial activities; Retail activities, except for large-scale integrated retail activities; Carparking activities; Residential activities; and Community corrections activities.

Managed activities Manage the location and scale of commercial activities which could result in cumulative adverse effects on the vibrancy of centres, the retention and establishment of a mix of commercial activities within the MUZ-PREC01, and the function of the transport network.

Potentially incompatible activities Only allow all other activities where they will not have an adverse effect on the use of the zone for commercial activities. Potentially incompatible activities include: Community facilities; Large-scale integrated retail activity; Emergency service facilities; Visitor accommodation; and Public transport activities.

Avoiding industrial activities Avoid locating industrial activities and heavy industrial activities in the MUZ-PREC01.

Quality design outcomes Require new development, and alterations and additions to existing development at a site scale, to positively contribute to the sense of place, quality and amenity of the MUZ-PREC01 by ensuring that it, where relevant: Meets the requirements of the Centres and Mixed Use Design Guide where relevant; Responds to the site context, particularly where it is located adjacent to: Residential zoned areas; and/or Open space zoned areas; Achieve a good standard of amenity for residential activities; Avoids potential reverse sensitivity issues through quality design and layout; Provides a safe and comfortable pedestrian environment; Enhances the quality of the streetscape and public / private interface; Integrates with existing and planned active and public transport movement networks; and Allows sufficient flexibility for ground floor space to be converted for a range of activities.

On-site residential amenity Achieve a good standard of amenity for residential activities in the MUZ-PREC01 by: Providing residents with adequate outlook; Providing access to convenient outdoor space, including private or shared communal areas; Meeting the requirements of the Residential Design Guide as relevant; and Providing residents with adequate internal living space.

Zone interfaces Require use and development of the MUZ-PREC01 to maintain reasonable amenity for the adjoining Medium Density Residential Zone, Open Space Zones and other sensitive uses.
