Amendment C247 introduced permanent planning controls into the Glen Eira Planning Scheme to provide greater certainty about the scale of future development in the commercial areas of Bentleigh East on Centre Road.
Bentleigh East Neighbourhood Activity Centre — Amendment C247
The introduction of a Design and Development Overlay (DDO13) to the centre will guide the heights and setbacks of new development so that their scale and form respond to the character of Centre Road and the adjoining residential areas.
DDO13 is underpinned by the Bentleigh East Neighbourhood Activity Centre Built Form Framework which provides the strategic justification for the Amendment and the built form provisions it proposes to introduce. Amendment C247 proposes to introduce the Framework into the Glen Eira Planning Scheme as a Background Document.
For more information about the Bentleigh East NAC, the proposed DDO or the history of this project, please refer to the Information Sheet.
The amendment:
- introduced a Design and Development Overlay (Schedule 13 to Clause 43.02 – DDO13) into the planning scheme to control the heights and setbacks of new development.
- included the Bentleigh East Neighbourhood Activity Centre Built Form Framework as a Background Document in the Schedule to Clause 72.08.
