21 Village—Housing zone

The objectives for the Village—Housing zone are as follows—

(a) To provide diverse housing types in terms of size, access, tenure and levels of affordability.

(b) To consolidate residential opportunities in areas within close proximity to commercial centres and railway stations.

(c) To make area-specific provisions in relation to density, design, form, building materials and landscaping to retain the distinct character of the relevant village location and maintain appropriate transitions to adjoining land uses.

(d) To encourage the provision of housing options that are designed to be accessible for people with special needs or are easily adaptable for these needs in the future.

(e) To ensure that residential development has a scale and character at the streetscape that is consistent with adjoining residential land uses and minimises adverse impact on environmental quality and on the amenity of residents.

(f) To permit only development that does not place unacceptable demands on infrastructure and services.
