Welcome and purpose of meeting


Scott acknowledged the traditional owners of the meeting place, and welcomed everybody to this third Community Planning Team (CPT) meeting for the Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan.

Scott went on to thank everyone for giving up their time to contribute to the CPT and explained that this evening’s workshop will build on the advice and suggestions received to date.

Scott also acknowledged Councillor Jonathan Sri, Councillor for The Gabba Ward, who was in attendance as an observer. Scott then introduced the Council team and the project advisors who will manage the planning process and assist to guide this evening’s activities.

An overview of the agenda was then presented to CPT members.

Scott then invited David, as Senior Urban Planner for the neighbourhood plan process, to commence the formal meeting content.

Project background


David began by indicating that the project was now at the end of the background research phase, with the draft Renewal Strategy about to be released to the public.

The project team will continue to gather feedback and input from the community and other stakeholders, and a statutory neighbourhood plan will then be prepared for further public consultation. The draft Neighbourhood Plan is anticipated to be placed on public notification in mid-2018.


Recap of CPT 1 (Issues and Opportunities, 30 November 2016) and CPT 2 (Ideas and Priorities for draft Precincts, 9 March 2017)


David then noted that tonight marks the third and final CPT meeting. Tonight’s meeting will focus on seeking members’ feedback on the draft Renewal Strategy.

Referring back to the first CPT meeting in November, David noted that members participated in a detailed workshop activity to consider the things that people liked and disliked about the area, and to identify some opportunities to enhance the area. These issues have remained at the forefront of consideration while the draft Renewal Strategy has been prepared.

At the second CPT meeting in March, members provided a range of big and small ideas about how the future of the area should evolve, including those important matters that give the area its unique character today. Once again, the team has been very conscious to include these matters in all work to date.

David then invited William, as project manager for the neighbourhood plan process, to provide an introduction to the draft Renewal Strategy.


Introduction to the draft Renewal Strategy


William began by providing members with an outline of the draft Renewal Strategy as well as its vision, and strategic context in Brisbane’s inner-city.

William mentioned that four key strategies have been identified to drive the draft Renewal Strategy, as follows:



  1. Connecting the peninsula.

  2. Enhancing local lifestyle.

  3. Managing growth and development.

  4. Improving river access.

William outlined how the key strategies had been developed based on previous input from CPT members.

William then took members through maps that set out the proposed land use intents and building height intents for the area, noting that the latter were generally consistent with recent and historic development outcomes. He explained that protection of views to and from the Story Bridge was maintained in the draft Renewal Strategy, and a proposed river’s edge transition zone will provide an appropriate relationship between the river and the peninsula’s built form.

Turning to the proposed Catalyst Projects, William provided a brief summary of each initiative:


  • Streetscape improvements to establish a Peninsula High Street along Main Street.

  • Improvements to river access from riverfront parkland and creation of a master plan for Captain Burke Park.

  • Expansion of the RiverWalk to address the missing link between Mowbray Park and Dockside.

  • A pedestrian / cycle bridge to the City Centre.

William added that while these catalyst projects were not guaranteed to be funded or proceed, they were identified as desirable and worthwhile of pursuing through future funding submissions.

Activity: the draft Renewal Strategy


During this activity, CPT members took part in facilitated discussions, with three tables each dedicated to one of the three key elements of the draft Renewal Strategy:

  • Enhancing local lifestyle.

  • Managing growth and development.

  • Catalyst projects.

Members moved from table to table on a periodic rotational basis, with all members having an opportunity to consider all three elements.

Table discussions centred on drawing out CPT members’ likes, dislikes and aspects requiring more work or thought, plus feedback on and ideas about the draft Renewal Strategy, as well as gaining clarification and greater understanding of the key features.

Members provided their input via drawings, and post-it notes, as well as through written notes and discussions recorded by Council staff. Details of all issues raised and suggestions provided are included at Appendix A to these minutes.

To conclude the activity, a representative from each table highlighted the top ideas that emerged from the group discussions. These are summarised as follows:



Table 1 – Enhancing Local Lifestyle (David facilitator; Jessie planner):

  • Like: promotion of a strategy to bring more people into the area and increase activation.

  • More work on: increasing commercial development opportunities.

Table 2 – Managing Growth and Development (William facilitator; Justin planner):

  • Like: general satisfaction with proposed building heights.

  • More work on: ensuring that building heights can be genuinely enforced, and focusing on building design, quality and streetscape amenity.

Table 3 – Catalyst Projects (Rebecca facilitator; Kathleen planner):

  • Like: the proposed elevator from Captain Burke Park to the Story Bridge.

  • More work on: bring forward the timing for delivery of the City Centre bridge connection.

Next steps and meeting conclusion


Scott then thanked all present for their passionate and constructive contributions to tonight’s activities. He indicated that all members would receive a copy of the final draft Renewal Strategy in the mail, with its formal release to the public for consultation on 27 October.

The draft Renewal Strategy will be open for public feedback until 8 December 2017, and all are encouraged to lodge a submission.

As part of the public consultation process, Council will host two Information Kiosks, at Captain Burke Park on 4 November and at C.T. White Park on 29 November.

Following consideration of all input, Council will draft a statutory neighbourhood plan, which it is anticipated will be released for public consultation around mid-2018.

Notes from the meeting will be made available on the website in the near future and CPT members will be advised accordingly. Additional input and comment is welcome at any time and should be directed to the Urban Renewal Brisbane Team on the contact details below.

The meeting closed at 8.05pm.

APPENDIX A

CPT workshop activity feedback: draft Renewal Strategy

Table 1 – Enhancing Local Lifestyle (David facilitator; Jessie planner):








    Likes:

  • Captain Burke Park:

    • Events and activation.

    • Pop-ups.

    • Beach area – enhanced access, management and cleanliness.

    • Connect to Howard Smith Wharves with public / private river transport.

  • Renewal Strategy has responded to CPT feedback.

  • Consolidated non-residential activity on Main Street – keeps core residential areas quiet and peaceful.

  • Need for better services, well connected within local area.

  • Promotion of City Centre bridge in Strategy – support for this to be delivered.

  • Ensure that the mix of residential / commercial is balanced e.g. both sides of Main Street.

  • Mixed use, commercial and residential – not specific zones e.g. residences upstairs and commercial downstairs.

    Ideas for Further Consideration:

  • Traffic on Main Street – promote pedestrian traffic.

  • Potential for vacancy in shops if demand isn’t there – impacts on community.

  • Connectivity for all levels of accessibility.

  • Facilitating change at Dockside considering ownership arrangements.

  • Flexibility to encourage elements of commercial and retail within residential buildings to create community texture.

  • Dockside marina – public use?

  • Don’t promote ‘ghettos’ at residential hubs and commercial – enable a mix.

  • Connectivity needs a CityCat stop.

  • CityCat to Kangaroo Point for tourism, Story Bridge.

  • Lighting on walkway from Dockside ferry to bridge.




Table 2 – Managing Growth and Development (Will facilitator; Justin planner):








    Likes:

  • Proposed building heights:

    • Building height limits / restrictions.

    • Building height to comply with the Plan is a high priority.

    • Support for proposed building heights and greater consistency with current approvals.

    • Building height regulations must be maintained.

    • 40m from river height restriction.

    • Clear, concise and enforced building heights that protect the view to / from the Story Bridge and ambience of environment.

    • Views to and from the Story Bridge to be protected.

  • Use of space under the bridge (current bridge maintenance) for community services, cafes etc.

  • Some heritage houses in Main Street in disrepair – should be maintained, currently fire-traps.

  • Subtropical architecture guidelines.

  • Sustainable, low-impact architecture.

  • Density reasonable but address ‘urban edge’.

  • Improve architectural outcomes.

  • Highlight of embed ‘heritage’ into future development e.g. train / boat building.

    Ideas for Further Consideration:

  • River edge transition – inconsistent and too large at 40m.

  • Not agreeing with the fall down of heights from Dockside.

  • No need to limit the height on St Vincent’s to 10 levels if considered planning outcomes for this site.

  • Greater density and height should mean greater control over amenity e.g. parking, noise, trees.

  • Plans for the use of gap sites?

  • Against increasing height of new buildings – need to:

    • Increase building setbacks.

    • Reduce car traffic.

    • Reduce density.




Table 3 – Catalyst Projects (Rebecca facilitator; Kathleen planner, Rhiannon urban designer):








    Likes:

  • Celebrate the ‘uniqueness’ of Kangaroo Point in all areas – don’t make it another version of West End / New Farm / Teneriffe etc.

  • Elevator from bridge to Captain Burke Park – great idea.

  • Story Bridge to Captain Burke Park elevator.

  • Bridge lift supported.

  • Escalator up and down lift is a great idea.

  • Bridge supported.

  • Four key projects are great – it would be great to implement them sooner.

  • Enhancing local lifestyle – bring more facilities to RiverWalk.

  • RiverWalk supported.

  • RiverWalk – the distinction between bike and pedestrian paths needs better clarity.

  • Improving access from river to Kangaroo Point – boat access.

  • Maintaining and reducing new construction heights.

  • Main Street revitalisation supported.

  • Main Street commercial is good and needs to extend beyond the hotel.

  • Make the heritage hotel a centrepiece rather than on the outside of the commercial.

  • Parks – ensure that revitalisation promotes general use – not hired use for car shows etc, but for community.

  • Event plan in Captain Burke Park should be in short term.

  • Create more interesting east-west connections to make the peninsula more enjoyable to navigate on foot; take away reliance on cars.

  • More connectivity with private river transport options.

  • Priorities:

    1. Cross bridge.

    2. RiverWalk expansion.

    3. Parks.

    4. Main Street revitalisation.

  • Pedestrian bridge is good – timing should be picked up, done sooner.

  • CityCat stop at the point.

  • Suggestion to make subway bike and wheelchair friendly.

    Ideas for Further Consideration:

  • City Centre bridge:

    • Support bridge as long as it doesn’t compete with the view of city and Story Bridge – low visibility.

    • Bridge needs to be low visual impact (not a large architectural structure).

    • Timing of cross-river bridge needs to be accelerated (community expectations and needs).

    • Bridge first!

    • Bridge to have a higher priority.

    • Restaurants and coffee shops to be considered on the bridge.

    • Design of the bridge should not compete with the surrounding structures and reflect the historic nature of the point.

  • Main Street BCC depot dead zone – create more interesting space with other uses.

  • Reduce vehicle traffic – reduce over-build with residential units.

  • Extent of Main Street commercial does not go far enough.

  • Prioritise riverfront park improvements.

  • Main Street revitalisation – great care required that residential amenity is not negatively compromised – noise, congestion, air quality.

  • Need CCTV along Main Street in the short term.

  • Main Street redevelopment:

    • Adding planter greenery at the expense of car parking will not be an improvement, allowing more retail shopping is.

    • The Council land opposite 245 Main Street needs to be investigated.

    • Also, releasing ugly car park on Baildon Street.

  • Suggested that timeframes for most projects a nonsense – get on with it or it will never happen!

  • Mangroves are detracting from riverfront improvements, especially at the tip.

  • Removal of mangroves on city side of point.

  • CityCat stop should be short term to get over to Eat Street.

  • Need a CityCat stop, save parking.

  • RiverWalk – do Mowbray short-term idea.

  • RiverWalk extension asap please!

  • Connecting the RiverWalk should have a higher priority.
