The objectives for each Precinct have been identified to supplement and support the relevant development controls that will apply to housing within the site. Development must be generally consistent with the relevant objectives.

Residential Precinct 1 – R1 General Residential

Objectives

1. Housing within precinct 1 will comprise a range of “Golf Course Housing”, “Traditional Housing” and Attached Dwellings (as defined in Figure 7-3) that conforms to the 9.5m height limit that applies. Buildings will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 storey buildings, except those located within the 7.0m height limited area identified in the CLEP 2010 as it applies to the site. The precinct abuts the western boundary of the Gledswood homestead curtilage and the landscape treatment to the boundary should reflect this relationship.
2. Buildings within the area identified in the CLEP 2010 as being subject to a 7.0m height limit will be on larger lots. These buildings will be single storey to protect the significant outlooks and character of the curtilage surrounding the Gledswood Homestead.
3. Dwelling houses that front golf course lands should be high quality and high amenity homes that respond to the attributes of outlook and access that these sites enjoy.
4. A range of dual occupancy, multi-dwelling and residential flat development is permitted across the precinct and preferably should be located opposite, or in the vicinity of RE2 zoned lands or public open space.
5. Dual Occupancy development is permitted on lots of greater than 750m2. The preferred outcome is for Dual Occupancy development to be carried out on corner lots and be designed to address both frontages.
6. Multi dwelling housing is permitted on lots greater than 1000m2 and the preferred outcome is for these forms of development to front onto or be opposite either golf course lands, RE2 zoned lands, riparian corridor lands or public open space areas.
7. Residential Flat Buildings will be permitted on lots of a minimum of 2000m2 with a minimum frontage of 60.0m at the building line.

Residential Precinct 2 – R1 General Residential

Objectives

1. Housing within precinct 2 will predominantly comprise “Golf Course Housing” and “Traditional Housing”. Opportunities for Attached Dwellings are limited, due to the preference for these forms of housing to front onto open space areas and be provided with a secondary access. The precinct abuts the southern boundary of the Gledswood homestead curtilage and the landscape treatment to the boundary should reflect this relationship.
2. Buildings will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 storey structures.
3. Dwelling houses that front golf course lands should be high quality and high amenity homes that respond to the attributes of outlook and access that these sites enjoy.
4. Dual Occupancy development is permitted on lots of greater than 750m2. The preferred outcome is for Dual Occupancy development to be carried out on corner lots and be designed to address both frontages.
5. Multi dwelling housing is permitted on lots greater than 1000m2 and the preferred outcome is for these forms of development to front onto or be opposite either golf course lands, RE2 zoned lands, riparian corridor lands or public open space areas.
6. Residential Flat Buildings will be permitted on lots of a minimum of 2000m2 with a minimum frontage of 60.0m at the building line.

Residential Precinct 3 – R1 General Residential

Objectives

1. Housing within precinct 3 will predominantly comprise “Traditional Housing”, with “Golf Course Housing” provided to the perimeter of the precinct. The precinct abuts the western boundary of the Gledswood homestead curtilage and the landscape treatment to the boundary should reflect this relationship.
2. Buildings will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 storey structures.
3. Dwelling houses that front golf course lands should be high quality and high amenity homes that respond to the attributes of outlook and access that these sites enjoy.
4. Dual Occupancy development is permitted on lots of greater than 750m2. The preferred outcome is for Dual Occupancy development to be carried out on corner lots and be designed to address both frontages.
5. Multi dwelling housing is permitted on lots greater than 1000m2 and the preferred outcome is for these forms of development to front onto or be opposite either golf course lands, RE2 zoned lands, riparian corridor lands or public open space areas.
6. Residential Flat Buildings will be permitted on lots of a minimum of 2000m2 with a minimum frontage of 60.0m at the building line.

Residential Precinct 4 – R1 General Residential

Objectives

1. Housing within precinct 4 will predominantly comprise “Public Reserve Land Housing” and “Traditional Housing”. Opportunities for Attached Dwellings are limited.
2. Buildings will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 storey structures.
3. Dwelling houses that front public reserve land should be high quality and high amenity homes that respond to the attributes of outlook and access that these sites enjoy.
4. Dual Occupancy development is permitted on lots of greater than 750m2. The preferred outcome is for Dual Occupancy development to be carried out on corner lots and be designed to address both frontages.
5. Multi dwelling housing is permitted on lots greater than 1000m2 and the preferred outcome is for these forms of development to front onto or be opposite either public reserve land riparian corridor land..
6. Residential Flat Buildings will be permitted on lots of a minimum of 2000m2 with a minimum frontage of 60m at the building line.

Residential Precinct 5 – R2 Low Density Residential Zone

Objectives

1. Housing within precinct 5 will predominantly comprise “Traditional Housing” which reflects the R2 zoning and larger lot sizes of 800m2 and the precincts role as a transition into the rural landscape to the east.
2. Buildings will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 storey structures.
3. Dwellings that front public reserve land should be high quality and high amenity homes that respond to the attributes of outlook and access that these sites enjoy.

Rural Living Precinct 6 – R5 Large Lot Residential and RU2 Rural Landscape

Objectives

1. Precinct 6 provides a transition between the residential development to the west and the rural landscapes to the east. The land is covered by two zones, RU2 Rural Landscape in the northern part of the precinct and R5 Large Lot Residential in the southern portion of the precinct.  Land in the RU2 zone is subject to a minimum lot size of 2 hectares while the R5 zoned land is subject to a 4000m2 minimum lot size.
2. Housing in precinct 6 will be larger dwellings on large lots consistent with the transition from urban to non-urban land uses. Buildings will be a mix of 1 and 2 storey structures with larger setbacks to reflect the desired dominance of landscaping over the built form.
3. Dwellings within the RU2 Rural Landscape zone are required to be located below ridgelines to protect the existing long distance rural views.

Gledswood Homestead Precinct 7 – RE2 Private Recreation and SP3

Objectives

1. The use and management of Gledswood is to facilitate the long term maintenance and conservation of the buildings and landscape consistent with the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) prepared and adopted for the site.
2. A number of appropriate uses have been identified in the CMP that could be accommodated within the buildings and curtilage of Gledswood. These include tourism related uses, restaurants and functions, hotel and golf course related uses. The CMP will be the primary guiding document for the on-going preservation, maintenance and use of the Gledswood site.

Golf Course and Golf Facilities and Riparian Areas Precinct 8 – RE2 Private Recreation

Objectives

1. The Golf Course and golf course facilities precinct provides a unifying element and setting for the residential precincts and the future uses of the Gledswood Homestead. The golf course will be a “links” style golf course within which opportunities exist to retain and manage native vegetation, native grasses, habitat and riparian areas off the fairways that contribute to the maintenance of the biodiversity of the subject lands and the Camden local government area.
2. The golf course lands will accommodate golf course related uses and facilities such as a Club House, driving range, pro-shop and green keeping equipment storage and maintenance facilities.
3. Development of the golf course must have regard to the Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) prepared for the area to facilitate the retention and conservation of native vegetation.
4. The development of golf course holes in the north west corner of the site between Camden Valley Way and Gledswood will be required to comply with the policies of the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) to maintain a landscape character consistent with the significance of this area as a portion of the Gledswood estate curtilage. The visual connections to and from the Gledswood Homestead and curtilage must be protected through compliance with the landscape policies within the CMP.
