(3) Declared National Land administered by the Department of Administrative Services
includes the AGPS site on Block 4 Section 8, railway land adjacent to the site and
through the centre of Section 8 and Block 23 Section 8. This land is shown in
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette S76, 2 March 1989 "Declared National Land"
as contained in the National Capital Plan of December 1990. See plan and gazette
notice at attachments "A and B".
Territory Land as identified under the Territory Plan is Residential on Block 21 Section 8 and Sections 30 - 32 and remaining areas are identified as Municipal Services. See plan at attachment "C".
(4) Until such time that a full assessment can be undertaken of the site it is not
possible to identify all actions. However consideration and determination of the
appropriate land uses will require:-
. investigation and mapping of existing land uses, engineering services, flood
constraints, existing traffic and access, identifying heritage areas, buildings
and structures, environmental constraints in relation to location near Lake
Burley Griffin and the Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve (eg. need to
provide buffer zone and to avoid water/noise pollution).
investigation and mapping of existing land use, structures and tenure including the delineation of Territory and National Land.
establishment of appropriate urban design and built form principles for the site including access points, internal linkages, pedestrian and vehicular movement systems, public spaces and building precincts as well as limitations on height, form, scale and massing of buildings. It is anticipated that the cost of consultants fees for this preliminary work will be on the range of $45,000 to $50,000.
preliminary marketing assessment to determine the range of uses which may offer long term commercial viability and where these may fit within the commercial hierarchy.
Subject to the above, ACT Planning Authority would then proceed to generate various planning options and assess in greater detail the economic, physical, environmental and social impacts with a view to variation of the Territory Plan.
