Scheme Amendment No. 121 - 1 Waterloo Street, Joondanna

Scheme Amendment No.122 proposes to rezone House Number 1 Waterloo Street, Joondanna from 'Residential (R50)' to ‘Mixed Use’ and ‘Development Requirement 1’.

The City received the application for a scheme amendment on 23 February 2021.

As per the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the City must assess and make the application available for public comment, before being forwarded to the Planning Minister for determination.

A Scheme Amendment can be submitted by, or on behalf of a landowner. The City can also propose a Scheme Amendment.

Council decided at the 14 September 2021 Council meeting that the appropriate zoning should be ‘Mixed Use’ and ‘Development Requirement 1’, to act as a transition between surrounding properties.

As part of the Herdsman Glendalough project, properties to the west are proposed to be rezoned ‘Mixed Use’ by the City’s Scheme Amendment No. 114. 

To the south of Green Street, properties are zoned ‘Commercial’ by the City of Vincent. Whilst properties to the east and north are zoned ‘Residential (R50)’.

A Mixed Used zoning allows for residential or commercial developments on upper floors, and commercial developments only on the ground floor.

Development Requirement 1 imposes a three storey maximum height for any development.
