Update December 2018
Council has adopted Amendment C104 and has requested the Minister for Planning to approve the amendment.
Council considered the Amendment C104 Panel and Advisory Committee Report on 11 December and have resolved to adopt the amendment with the changes that were recommended by the Panel. Subject to the approval by the Minister for Planning, the Development Plan will also be approved by Council.
The changes recommended by the Amendment C104 Panel and Advisory Committee were as follows:
The recommended changes to the Amendment generally relate to the content or drafting of the documents to make information more clearer and in particular to:
ensure that the provisions forming part of the Amendment meet the drafting conventions (form and content) recently introduced by the State Government; and
to reflect changes agreed to at the Hearing, between Council officers and the Proponent, to a number of the planning controls forming part of the amendment.
The Panel and Advisory Committee have recommended that the Development Plan be approved subject to changes that:
will ensure consistency between the Development Plan and changes made to the planning provisions, as agreed to during the Hearing process; and
provide greater clarity of the content within the Development Plan.

Submissions were received on a
revised proposal that would enable future development at Westfield Doncaster.
This includes revisions made to
the original proposal, exhibited in July 2016, following the acquisition of an
adjoining site at 20-34 Westfield Drive, Doncaster, by Scentre Group
(Westfield).
Known as Amendment C104 to the
Manningham Planning Scheme, the proposal includes the introduction of new
planning controls to the Westfield Doncaster sites at 619 Doncaster Road and
20-34 Westfield Drive in Doncaster to allow for additional retail and
commercial floor space.
The draft Development Plan, put
forward by Scentre Group, as the owner and operator of Westfield, includes:
- An additional 43,000sqm of retail floor space
and 18,000sqm of commercial office space to be generally located in the
northern part of the site
- A ‘gateway’ tower with a maximum height of ten
to 14 storeys above a two level podium located on Williamsons Road
- An enhanced and expanded bus interchange at
street level, closer to Williamsons Road with provision for buses to do a
loop within the interchange
- Improvements to vehicle and pedestrian access
to and within the centre, including relocating the existing main vehicle
entrance from Williamsons Road further north towards Westfield Drive
- Approximately 7,575 car parking spaces to be
provided on site, which will be an increase of 2,793 spaces from what is
currently provided
- Improved public spaces, including increased
landscaping, new paving, and a new public forecourt that will enhance the
entry to the centre.
