PLANS AND PROCESS
The Lyons Master Plan was lodged with the
Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment (DIPE)
on July 28, 2005.
The Master Plan has been developed following
a detailed investigation of background reports, consideration
of the site history and physical characteristics, surrounding
land uses and a comprehensive, pre-lodgement community and
stakeholder consultation process. Feedback received during
the pre-lodgement consultation process enabled a number of
amendments to be made to the draft plan prior to lodgement.
The Master Plan for Lyons aims to achieve
a balanced, sustainable living environment that provides high
standards of amenity and lifestyle opportunity.
Key features of the Master Plan include:
- A series of attractive neighbourhoods
- A range of housing types, with integrated
medium density housing sites addressing parks and close
to public transport
- Climate sensitive orientation and lot
shape
- A feature Central Park providing an anchor
for the community, social and cultural pursuits, recreational
opportunities, as well as stormwater management and conservation
of beneficial vegetation
- Public transport servicing the neighbourhoods
as the first residents move in as well as an integrated
pedestrian and cycle network
- Conservation of beneficial vegetation
and site features within the open space network.
The Master Plan includes approximately 700
dwellings to be phased over a 5 year period. About 300 of
these dwellings will be for Defence housing, with the remainder
available for private purchase.
