Draft Local Planning Policy: Lacey Street Character Area
Update
At its meeting on 25 July 2023, Council adopted a recommendation to proceed with Local Planning Policy: Character Area Guidelines with modifications, for Lacey Street.
Project Details
Lacey Street is a unique street with a narrow road reserve and collection of complete federation-style buildings.
Lacey Street is one of few streets with an intact single storey streetscape and, given its proximity to the central business district and the growing demand for unfettered land, there is growing pressure on properties in this street for redevelopment.
Design guidelines have provided developers and landowners with a framework and direction that reflect the City of Vincent’s expectations for the protection and development of this street. The intent is that the original building stock in Lacey Street be retained and conserved.
Key changes include:
- Inclusion of Lacey Street in the City of Vincent’s Character Areas and Heritage Areas Local Planning Policy
- Updated development requirements to be more prescriptive and provide better guidance on the desired outcomes
Preliminary community consultation noted interest in protecting the precinct and for the existing guidelines to be updated to reduce ambiguity.
