6.17 Community infrastructure height of buildings and floor space at Kensington and Kingsford town centres

(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows--

(a) to allow greater building heights and densities at Kensington and Kingsford town centres where community infrastructure is also provided,

(b) to ensure that those greater building heights and densities reflect the desired character of the localities in which they are allowed and minimise adverse impacts on the amenity of those localities,

(c) to provide for an intensity of development that is commensurate with the capacity of existing and planned infrastructure.

(2) Despite clauses 4.3 and 4.4, the consent authority may consent to development on a site that results in additional building height or additional floor space, or both, in accordance with subclause (4) if the development includes community infrastructure on the site.

(3) In deciding whether to grant development consent, the consent authority must--

(a) be satisfied that the development is consistent with the objectives of this clause, and

(b) be satisfied that the community infrastructure is reasonably necessary at Kensington and Kingsford town centres, and

(c) take into account the nature of the community infrastructure and its value to the Kensington and Kingsford town centres community.

(4) Under subclause (2), a building on land in any of the areas identified on--

(a) the Alternative Building Heights Map --is eligible for an amount of additional building height determined by the consent authority but no more than that which may be achieved by applying the maximum height specified in relation to that area, and

(b) the Alternative Floor Space Ratio Map --is eligible for an amount of additional floor space determined by the consent authority but no more than that which may be achieved by applying the maximum floor space ratio specified in relation to that area.

(5) In this clause--

"community infrastructure" means development for the purposes of community facilities, recreation areas, recreation facilities (indoor), recreation facilities (outdoor), public roads or drainage.
