The Urban Heat Planning Toolkit developed by WSROC is the first guide of its kind to be implemented into local environment and development control plans – a move welcomed by president Barry Calvert .
“ There was no argument that heat is a major issue for Western Sydney , the question for councils was ‘ how do we do that ’,” Cr Calvert said .
“ Toolkit was developed to assist council planners working in this new and complex area of planning . The toolkit identifies design measures to reduce the impacts of urban heat , identifies how each measure works , summarises key evidence , and notes capacity of council planning to address it .”
It recommends :
· New LEP and DCP provisions specifically for urban heat ;
· Improvements to existing provisions ( eg : canopy cover or water management ) to better
· address heat ;
· Addressing measures beyond the scope of local planning controls .
“ A year on , it is extremely heartening to see the first controls specifically addressing urban heat being delivered through the current round of Local Environment Plan ( LEP ) and Development Control Plan ( DCP ) provisions ,” Cr Calvert said .
“ Because each council is at a
different stage of their planning review , we expect more urban heat clauses to be released over the next 12 months .”
With half of all new development in Western Sydney bypassing local council planning controls as it goes through state-level compliance , and other issues including energy and thermal comfort which are state government considerations , WSROC hopes this local government developed tool kit will be an example used by all tiers of government moving forward .
“ It is essential that cool planning is addressed across all parts of the planning system . While promising advances were being made under the Design & Place SEPP , that work has unfortunately been overturned in recent weeks ,” Cr Calvert said .
“ We hope the NSW Government will improve urban heat mitigation measures in future state planning policies , so that local controls are backed by clear state-level guidance .”
