Botanic RidgePRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN
New plan for premium Australianthemed community at Botanic Ridge
The Growth Areas Authority and the City of Casey have been working collaboratively to draft the Botanic Ridge Precinct Structure Plan. The Botanic Ridge Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) sets out a 15 year plan for the development of approximately 3,200 new homes accommodating around 9,000 residents. The plan builds on and integrates with the Junction Village community and the new community around Settlers Run Golf Course.
Incorporating the rolling hills and native landscape of the area, including the adjoining Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne (RBGC), the plan delivers a residential community embedded in a network of boulevards, parks and waterways that deliver significant enhancement of local landscape and conservation features.
The Structure Plan provides for extensive housing choice including larger lots adjacent to the botanic gardens and townhouses and villa units focussed on town centres and local parks. Land is set aside for two state primary schools, kindergartens, two new multi-use sports reserves, two local town centres and a comprehensive road and trail network.
The GAA wishes to hear your views on the plan. Please provide your comments to the Growth Areas Authority by Friday the 23rd of December 2011. Pending resolution of any matters raised through the consultation period, the GAA intends to recommend that the Minister for Planning approve of the plan as a planning scheme amendment to the Casey Planning Scheme.

Botanic Ridge will be:
• A place of beauty, where excellence in landscape, architectural and urban design contribute to a strong ‘sense of place’, while also addressing important visual and environmental performance requirements.
• A place of significant housing choice, that caters for a diversity of people with varying means.
• A connected community with integrated transport and open space networks, community facilities and state of the art telecommunication.
• Designed with nature in mind, utilising indigenous and native plants and integrating conservation areas to foster respect among residents for the environment.
• A residential precinct that is a model for the conservation of urban ecology.
• A place where residents have a sense of ownership and pride, which together with the beautiful environment and excellent amenities, contributes to a healthy community.
• A place with inviting and thriving town centres, where it is natural for residents of all ages to meet, shop and carry out business.
• A place that recognises the adjoining RBGC as a major strategic asset and conserves, enhances and integrates with its ecological and landscape qualities
HoUSING QUALITY ANd CHoICE
Providing for well designed and diverse housing is a key goal for the Precinct. Lots ranging from 300 square metres or less near town centres to 900 square metres or more adjoining the botanic gardens, will provide opportunities for families to create their homes in ways that suit them.
FUTURE TRANSPoRT NETWoRk
Key to the delivery of a strong transport network at Botanic Ridge will be the upgrade of Craig Road and the delivery of a new road (Casey Fields Boulevard) linking to Cranbourne East. A bus-ready grid of roads, incorporating on road cycle paths will also be delivered within the precinct area, linking town centres, schools and key sports fields. This will be complemented by an extensive network of pedestrian and shared paths within the road reserves and alongside waterways and wildlife corridors.
ENvIRoNmENT ANd INNovATIoN
The plan implements the high standards for environmental housing recommended by the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission, to ensure homes are able to take full advantage of the exceptional opportunities of the adjoining RBGC.
Two significant wildlife corridors will be created to provide habitat and movement opportunities for the Nationally listed Southern Brown bandicoot, to and from RBGC. Additionally, waterways, wetlands streets and parks will be planted with indigenous and native plants, drawing inspiration from the award winning RBGC Australian Garden.
Storm water from the precinct will be captured and treated so that it can be used by residents via the recycled water network that will service the area.
PLANNING PERmITS
Two permit applications and their associated draft planning permits are also being circulated as part of this consultation process. These applications seek to subdivide land for approximately 1400 residential lots including land for a town centre and two primary schools as shown.
THE PLAN
The Botanic Ridge Precinct Structure Plan as shown left covers an area of 318 hectares (786 acres). This plan shows the planned structural elements including main roads, parks, wetlands and urban development areas. The Botanic Ridge Precinct Structure Plan document details how each element is to be delivered. It can be viewed with the other detailed documents at: www.gaa.vic.gov.au/Precinct_Structure_Plans
THE vISIoN
Botanic Ridge will be a unique community where physical landform, landscape character and environmental management are the key planning and design drivers. Botanic Ridge will be an innovative model for the creation of an ecological, landscaped and environmentally sustainable residential area that provides for housing diversity, quality community facilities and vibrant town centres at urban densities.

dRAFT AmENdmENT To THE CASEY PLANNING SCHEmE
The proposed changes to the Casey Planning Scheme (Amendment C133) include:
Incorporation, via the Schedule to Clause 81.01, of:
• the Botanic Ridge Precinct Structure Plan
• the Botanic Ridge Development Contributions Plan

Other changes include:
• Rezoning 11ha of RBGC land and Botanic Drive from Urban Growth Zone to Public Conservation and Recreation Zone.

• Removes the Wildfire Management Overlay (WMO) from the northern part of the precinct and extend it over the 11ha of RBGC land not currently covered by the WMO.
• Applying a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO) in favour of Casey City Council to facilitate the connection of local roads on a number of parcels of land in the northern portion of the precinct.
• Amending the Schedule to Clause 34.01 Business 1 Zone (B1Z) to include floor space provisions for shop uses, office and trade supplies in the Botanic Ridge Local Town Centres.
