(4) Why was the proposal discussed with the Community Panel to convert part of the Hardwick Crescent surface carpark to a park to offset the loss of green space not included in the final Master Plan.

(5) If the reason in part (4) is the loss of parking, is there any Directorate or developer estimate of the cost of replacing that car parking within the Kippax Fair expansion; if so, can the Minister provide a copy.

(6) What is the proposed net gain/loss (m2) of Community Facility Zone land within Kippax Group Centre as a result of the draft Territory Plan Variation.

(7) What retail study/s did the Directorate commission into the viability of expansion of Kippax Fair onto the carparking at Block 89 and can the Minister provide a copy.

(8) What community opinion survey/s did the Directorate commission into the community’s views of the expansion of Kippax Fair and can the Minister provide a copy.

(9) Does the draft Territory Plan Variation include any rules/criteria that will require the Kippax Fair expansion to deliver a new access road from Moyes Crescent to the Kippax Fair expansion or the Hardwick Crescent car park; if so, can the Minister provide details.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The master plan recommends that a 50-metre landscape buffer be maintained between Moyes Crescent and the proposed retail expansion.

DV361 proposes amendments to the Holt Precinct Map and Code as follows:

i. R17 and C17 – protection of solar access to public places and open spaces

ii. Criterion 24 – as part of the expansion of the centre the future proponent is required to conduct a range of offsite works including the upgrade of unused open space close to the centre and construction of the skate park.

(2) DV361 proposes amendments to the Holt Precinct Map and Code as follows:

a) Criterion 7 – includes materials and finish that do not contribute to the heat island effect.

b) Criterion 19 – requires proponents to demonstrate that development results in no net gain of urban heat as measured on the 2017 urban heat map. The criterion requires a microclimate assessment report to be prepared giving consideration to low thermal mass buildings and colours, canopy trees, permeable surfaces and use of water features.

(3) The master plan recommends that to offset the potential loss of part of the existing Holt District Playing Fields:

Upgrade currently unused open space close to the centre, this could include turf, irrigation, pavilion, lighting, seating etc. to replace the approximately 16,000m2 of sport and recreation space lost as part of the retail expansion.
