Part B. Subdivision Design
Guidelines
July, 2010
1. Site Responsive Design
1.1 Site and Context Assessment
Objectives
•• To ensure new subdivisions are designed to respond
to the local characteristics of the site and its context.
•• To reinforce the rural character of the Macedon
Ranges Shire.
Guidelines
1.1.1 Before any subdivision design is undertaken, a
thorough investigation of the site and its context
should be undertaken, so that the new subdivision
will respond in the most appropriate way. This will
include an analysis of:
•• Surrounding existing and future land uses -
sensitive interfaces, key land uses etc.
Figure 2 - Understanding key views is important when
•• Surrounding existing and future transport networks designing subdivisions
- road, pedestrian and cycle paths, and public
transport.
•• Areas of vegetation.
•• Natural and man-made features within the site -
landform, exposed geological features, wind row
planting etc.
•• Predominant landscape and cultural heritage
character of the area.
•• Assessment of drainage systems both within and
beyond the site.
•• Views from within the site to significant land forms
or water bodies and views to the site from key
public locations.
•• Climatic conditions including solar access and
prevailing winds.
•• It will need to be demonstrated that the subdivision
design responds to each of these elements.

2.2 Pedestrian & Cyclist Access

Objectives
•• To ensure pedestrians and bicycle access is integrated
into the design of future subdivisions.
•• To promote walking and cycling as suitable transport
alternatives.
•• To provide for safe and convenient access for
pedestrians and cyclists.
•• To provide for adequate separation of pedestrian,
cyclists movements from heavy vehicles.
Guidelines
2.2.1 Develop a pedestrian and cycle network as part of the
subdivision application that provides for continual and
safe access between the future allotments and the
surrounding services, facilities and public transport
within the area. The network should connect into
existing trails where possible and provide signage to
direct people to these connections (refer to Figure 7).
2.2.2 Where required for open space and linear networks, Figure 8 - Example of a footpath with regularly spaced
shared bicycle / pedestrian paths should be provided street trees
to one side of the open space, waterway or road,
having a minimum width of 2.5m and be constructed
with a sealed surface (refer to Figure 7).
2.2.3 For major roads, where required, pedestrian paths
with a minimum width of 1.5m are to be provided on
both sides of the road (except where a shared 2.5m,
wide path is instead required) and constructed with a
sealed surface.
2.2.4 To reduce the potential for conflict there should be an
appropriate level of separation and/or wayfinding for
cyclists where needed on shared pedestrian links.
N.B. In some instances an on road cycle path may be
required for main roads or where separation from pedestrian
movement or wayfinding for cyclists is required.
2.3 Public Transport

Objectives
•• To provide adequate access to public transport within
new industrial areas.
Guidelines
2.3.1 Where required, relevant anticipated streets should be
designed with sufficient width so they are capable of
carrying bus services if required in the future. Refer to
Figure 7 for typical carriageway widths.
N.B. Where relevant, the cross section requirements of the
Department of Transport ‘Public Transport Guidelines for Land
Use Planning 2008’ may be required for relevant bus route
roads.

4. Landscape & Open Space
4.1 Streetscapes
Objectives
•• To provide streetscapes that are compatible with the
‘rural ‘ character of the Macedon Ranges Shire and
respond to the particular characteristics of the site
and area.
•• To ensure streetscapes are durable and require
minimal maintenance.
Guidelines
4.1.1 Develop a landscape masterplan for new streetscapes
in subdivisions. Refer to Council’s Street Tree Policy for
Figure 10 - Swale drains and remnant roadside vegetation are

important elements of the ‘rural character’
•• Incorporate elements of the rural character in
new streetscapes. This includes providing verges,
incorporating existing significant vegetation within
the streetscape and utilising swale drains where
practical (refer to Figure 10).
•• Utilise street tree spacing and siting to reinforce
the desired character for an area. i.e. formalised
avenue planting could be used for areas such as
estate entries and clump planting could be utilised
to reinforce the informal character of a street (refer
to Figure 11).
•• Provide for trees or groups of trees spaced at a
maximum of 12m apart and as near as possible to
the centre of each allotment.
•• Generally utilise native or indigenous canopy trees
that require minimal irrigation and reflect the local Figure 11 - Example of a central median with planting to

feature planting or if appropriate to the character of
the area provided the trees can be irrigated without
utilising the potable water supply.
•• Utilise low level shrubs and grasses in conjunction
with canopy trees (refer to Figure 12).
•• Utilise low maintenance passive irrigation
techniques so that street trees can be irrigated with
stormwater captured on the site (refer to Figure 12).
•• Where appropriate, incorporate low key entry
features that utilise landscaping rather than large
built elements to define the entry to the estate.
4.1.2 Provide street furniture including seating and bins
around key open space nodes and convenience stores
within new subdivisions. Furniture is to reflect the
rural character of the area.
4.1.3 Incorporate street lighting that is sited and designed
to provide for a safe journey along pedestrian paths in
accordance with the Australian Standards. Figure 12 - Example of a swale utilised to irrigate plants and
infiltrate water
4.2 Open Space Provision and Design
Objectives
•• To provide good provision of open space for
industrial and business areas
•• To ensure new developments provide suitable
activation and passive surveillance of existing and
new open space areas.
•• To incorporate natural and valued landscape
elements into new open space areas that reflect the
rural character of the Macedon Ranges Shire.
Guidelines
4.2.1 Public open space should be provided at the rate of
5% of all land that is to be subdivided for industrial or
business uses. Figure 13 - Example of an open space area incorporating remnant
vegetation
4.2.2 Where agreed by Council, a contribution may be paid
to the Council to the equivalent value of 5% of all land
that is to be subdivided for industrial or business uses. LINEAR OPEN SPACE USED AS A
BUFFER TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA
4.2.3 Where encumbered land is to be retained as open
space, this will not be included within the 5%
contribution. RESIDENTIAL AREA
4.2.4 Distribute open space throughout the subdivision

so that it is accessible to workers of the business or
industrial area, and other surrounding land uses.
4.2.5 Incorporate natural elements into the open space

Objectives
•• To ensure new development is designed to respond
to the local characteristics of the site and its context.
•• To reinforce the rural character of the Macedon
Ranges Shire.
Guidelines
1.1.1 Before any development design is undertaken, a
thorough investigation of the site and its context
should be undertaken, so that the design of new
development can respond in the most appropriate
way. This will include an analysis of:
•• Surrounding existing and future land uses -
sensitive interfaces, key land uses etc
•• Surrounding existing and future transport networks
- road, pedestrian and cycle paths, and public
transport. Figure 16 - Gain an understanding of the role of the site in the
context of the township
•• Surrounding built form character and heights.

•• To provide for the identification of businesses in a
way that maintains the character and amenity of the
street and is designed to be compatible with visually
sensitive areas.
•• To ensure signage is informative and co-ordinated
in a way that enables customers to easily locate the
industry or business and determine its services.
Guidelines
4.6.1 Signage should be integrated into the design of
buildings by forming a logical element of the front
facade and be in keeping with the scale of the facade
(refer to Figure 42).
4.6.2 Signage should be limited in numbers to avoid visual
clutter and unnecessary repetition.
Figure 42 - Siting and design of facade signage
4.6.3 Where the are multiple business occupancies within
the one site, one shared sign should be provided
that details the location of the businesses. A small
identification sign may be provided for each business
that it is co-ordinated with the shared sign in terms of
style and materials.
4.6.4 Freestanding signage should be avoided and will only
be permitted if it can be demonstrated that signage
on the building facade will not provide effective
business identification. If freestanding signage is
permitted, it should integrate with the overall design
of the site in terms of scale, form, landscaping and
materials, and should not detract from the streetscape
character and key views to the area (refer to Figure
43).
4.6.5 Signage attached to front fences and temporary
A-Frame signage on footpaths should be avoided.
4.6.6 In visually sensitive areas, signage should be designed
so that it does not detrimentally affect the character
of the area and does not unduly diminish key views
within the area.
4.6.7 Directional signage should be provided within sites
to delineate entries and exits, staff and visitor parking,
office /reception areas, and loading areas. Directional

3.1 New Gisborne Industrial Area (includes existing and approved future expansion areas)
Guidelines
3.1.1 The following is to be considered

if this area is rezoned for industrial
or business uses in the future. New
subdivision and development
should:
IN1Z PROPOSED •• Integrate with the adjoining
FUTURE industrial road networks to the
EXPANSION west.
AREA
•• Consider the entire precinct when
designing the road, drainage and
open space networks.
•• Be designed to capture views to
the Macedon Ranges in the north.
•• Provide land uses to Saunders and
Barry Road that are compatible
with the residential area opposite
and provide an attractive built
form along the entry road into
New Gisborne.
•• Provide generous setbacks
to Saunders Road that are
compatible with low density
residential areas to the south.
IN1Z These setbacks will need to be
resolved through future detailed
planning as part of any rezoning.
•• Provide substantial landscape
buffers to adjoining rural living
properties and residential areas.
