Greyfield sites in the centre of the city offer opportunities for new development to become catalysts for urban renewal and the generation of vibrant urban spaces and communities.

This report investigates is part of an ongoing study that focusses on ‘the way we live in cities’ to consider ways of more effectively using inner city sites as part of daily life. By proposing buildings that have a wide range of functions that complement existing tenancies, such as cultural, commercial and residential facilities, the site will appeal to a wide range of users.

The Melville Street carpark in Hobart’s CBD is very well located to provide new inner city housing and mixed use development that will support the regeneration of the civic life of the inner city. Two sets of proposals are considered: Garden Oriented Development and a mix of housing types; and student housing. Both explore the continuing use of the site by the existing farmer market.

Greyfield sites in the centre of the city offer opportunities for new development to become catalysts for urban renewal and the generation of vibrant urban spaces and communities. This project focuses on an existing vacant site just outside Hobart’s CBD. The site is currently used for paid council car parking throughout the week and a popular farmer’s market on the weekend.

The Gehl Report (2010) A City with People in Mind, made a series of recommendations relating to bringing life to the city. The group recommended that Hobart shift from a car-oriented city, to one focussed on its people and promoted a multifunctional, rather than monofunctional urban centre. Increasing the potential is a key strand of the recommended approach.

As suggested by the name, SPECULATE reports establish responses to particular regional or urban issues, through design. This allows for urban principles to be hypothetically tested and establishes a broader range of responses than would normally be possible from council design teams or procurement processes for architectural services. It is also offers an opportunity to test issues before they are connected to committed projects. Importantly, the reports are set against contemporary theory in relation to the selected issue.

A second, and important, stage of the speculation is evaluation, as the testing through design can then be assessed against selected criteria and ideally rated in relation to state, national or international benchmarks. This report evaluates a series of ten mixed-use residential design schemes prepared by third year Bachelor of Environmental Design students at the School of Architecture, UTAS. The work is analysed by planning approach, programme, yield and a series of quantitative and qualitative criteria that represent a fusion of assessment structures devised by Gehl architects and the Australian Commonwealth Governments National Urban Policy.

project overview

This UTAS SPECULATE report collates and analyses design speculations previously undertaken by UTAS students within Design Studio 6 from the bachelor degree completed within the School of Architecture and Design. The research question driving the inquiry for the report is, “How can an individual site be used as a catalyst to provide future opportunities for the broader domain of the city?”

chapter _ one site | contextThe objective of this chapter is to illustrate and analyse the site within the broader urban context as a background to the assessment of each of the speculations and in order to understand how development on the site might act as an urban catalyst. The chapter includes analysis of the site in relation to a series of urban aspects: connectivity and walkability; the location of the site in relation to Hobart’s green spaces; the presence of UTAS and its students with in the city.

The constraints of the site as defined by the Hobart City Council Planning Scheme are set out and each of the streetscapes is analysed in terms of character, materiality, levels and views in or out. The chapter also introduces the theory and detail of each of the assessment schemes amalgamated for the purposes of analysing the student speculations.

chapter _ two speculationThe objective of this chapter is to offer a comparative analysis of ten student schemes and rate them in relation to the hybrid criteria developed for the re-port. The schemes are sorted into six different approaches to site planning:01_public edge02_street edge setback03_internal atrium04_linear massing05_lanewaysSchemes are identified by floor area, plot ratio, dwelling types (one bed-room, two bedroom etc) dwellings and people per hectare. Projects are also depicted in terms of the proportion of programme devoted to residential, market and commercial space.development of a wetland system to filter urban runoff. Throughout the next 7-10 years, the speculation suggests that this remediation could extend further towards the city, sustainably remediating the site and providing direct links between the city and its northern network of recreational green spaces.

conclusions and recommendationsThe comparative analysis of the ten selected schemes represents an interesting perspective of the balance between quantity and quality within contemporary mixed used developments.

The project with the highest yield of each of the projects is speculation #2.2, which falls under the street edge setback approach. The design yields 149 dwellings per hectare and a maximum of 583 people. In this scheme almost 75% of the floor area is taken up with dwellings, less than a quarter for commercial and only 5% dedicated to market space. In part reflecting this balance, the scheme is not rated as strong in any of the key criteria, rated as satisfactory in 6 criteria and weak in the remainder. The planning of the design is quite porous, offering public passageways between each of the three street edges, but the small area of commercial and market develop-ment may reduce the impetus for members of public to pass through or stay for any length of time within the development.

The project rated as the strongest in terms of urban criteria was speculation #5.1, which was identified within approach five, linear massing. The project was considered strong in 7 out of 8 of the key urban criteria and also strong in another 5 secondary criteria. The design has a plot ratio of 2.6:1 and yields 99 dwellings per hectare. With the mix of dwelling sizes, the max per-sons per hectare is just under 488. Less than 50% of the area is dedicated to housing and so the site would draw a wider population of users through-out the day through the market and other commercial space.

The design with the highest plot ratio (3.2:1) is speculation #4.1, which sits within the internal atrium approach. The project yields 91 dwellings and a maximum of 351 per hectare. The scheme is rated as strong in only 3 of the key criteria, satisfactory in two and weak in the remainder. It is also strong in secondary criteria of ‘quantity of space’ and ‘variety’. Less than 50% of the committed area is for housing with almost half of the area commercial. The rating against urban criteria suggests that this mix of uses, in combination with an internal atrium approach may present a scheme that lacks the quali-ties required for a good contemporary development within the urban realm.

postscript: Following on from Gehl Architects 2010 report, the Hobart City Council prepared the Inner City City Action Plan (2012). Action Project 13 relates to the promotion of inner city living. Since the completion of this document, the Melville Street site has been tendered as a $65m mixed use development for the University of Tasmania that will provide 430 affordable rental residences for students.

The architects for the design are local practice Terroir, in association with Melbourne architects Fender Katsalidis. The project is part of the National Rental Affordability Scheme funded by the Federal Government. The project will include a retail hub on the Elizabeth Street frontage and student services. Similarly to the schemes presented in this report, the project will include a network of public space throughout the site.

PROJECT SCOPEPROJECT SCOPE

potential development potential development

This report presents a range of speculative ideas for the development of

the Melville Street carpark, to provide a new centre of civic, social and

commerical activity, and in particular to increase the number of residents in

the city.

All of the projects aim to address a series of key issues that affect the overal

quality of the city, and TO provide spaces of socialisation.

The key urban aims of the project include:_developing physical, visual and activity links between the CBD and the City

Fringe

_improving pedestrian amenity and safety

_promote a diversity of activities, recreation, tourism, offices, civic and marine

activities_strengthening the identity of Brisbane + Melville Streets

_promoting residential use as a subsidiary activity on site

_encouraging 24 hour activities to meet the need of workers, locals and

residents

_promoting use of public space for the existing farmers market on site

_decreasing long term parking

_protecting cultural heritage and urban character of Elizabeth St

The first set of speculations explore a mixed range of housing. commerical

and cultural uses, with the three main program components including:

community and commercial (including the provision for the already

successful Farmer’s Market on site), a mix of housing; and the provision for

garden - both community and individual. The brief also called for community

amenity such as bicycle parking/storage and bathrooms. All of the

proposals have a minimum 1.7:1 plot ratio.

The second iteration of Melville Street speculations focus on a the provision

for commercial, communal and residential spaces within the site. A range of

apartment types and sizes are explored to achieve a minimum plot ratio of

2.7. A strong focus on garden oriented design inserts green spaces into the

site, for both private and public use. Current market activities are explored

and accommodate for on site with the provision for fixed, moveable and

demountable stalls. The brief also calls for community amenity such as

bicycle parking/storage and bathrooms.

How can an individual site be used as a catalyst to provide future opportunities for the broader domain of the city?

research question

OutcomesThe outcome will be a proposal that describes a method for development.

To establish a method to revive the characteristics of the site such as the geographical, industrial and historical markings.

To establish a method for design development for urban solutions for the under-utilised site.

To determine a method that can inform the process of a incremental development rather than a top down master plan approach, whilst exploring mixed opportunity for diversity.

ObjectivesThe objective is to determine the future use of Macquarie Point.

Research by design allows for speculation on prospective use for the vacant and under-utilised rail yards site.

To provide mapping and speculation that enhance daily life for the

city of Hobart.

The urban scheme will support the adjacent zones by encapsulating what it is currently lacking to produce a valuable addition to the

adjacent Hobart city, waterfront, river, domain and botanical garden precincts.

The Melville Street site is located between the city

fringe and the edge of the CBD, on the Elizabeth

Street axis out of town. Along the Elizabeth Street

axis there are three zones: the Hobart CBD,which

is currently commercial and educational; North

Hobart, which is predominantly a commercial and

restaurant strip, with peripheral housing; and the

Melville Street precinct, which located within a

mix of residential, educational and commercial

zones.

The Melville Street site is the key to increasing

the connectivity of the city, particularly through

a mixed use, medium density development.

This type of development should include

residential and commercial components, whilst

accommodating the existing market function.

approximately 9,850 tertiary students studying within the city of Hobart, mainly

concentrated along Campbell Street.

The Gehl study denotes the importance of

students and the way they contribute to the city’s

vitality and cultural diversity - keeping the city

active in the evening. Students tend to engage

more overtly with the street scene because they

have more time available.

Development on the underutilised sites of the

city has the potential to not only strengthen weak

cross streets such as Brisbane, Melville and

Collins Streets, but also has the opportunity to

engage with the prevalent UTAS buildings and

nearby infrastructure.

The city has a bus transit zone located in

Elizabeth Street near the Mall and this enables

easy and accessible transport to surrounding bus

stops.

The Melville Street site is in close proximity to

a number of transit stops for quick and easy

transport to the CBD and greater suburbs.

In the immediate vicinity, there are many greyfield sites, particularly carparks

or car sales yards that could be used more productively. These greyfield

sites are located between the city centre, North Hobart precinct and

surroudning neighborhoods.

The Melville Street development could provide an exemplar for mixed-

use, medium density development, which could be extended by future

development on neighbouring sites. This would encorage a growth corridor

of residential use towards the city centre and commercial development

towards existing residential areas.

Such development would complement the broad range of existing

educational institutes, offering opportunities for students to live in the inner

city within easy reach to services and facilities.

Due to its advantageous position on the prominent Elizabeth Street, the

development of the Melville Street Site has the potential to activate its other

two street frontages on both Brisbane and Melville Streets. This would

allow for a diverse range of possibilities for both pedestrian and vehicular

circulation.

Height variation across the site holds protential for terracing and

engagement with outdoor spaces. The site has views to the surrouding

mountains and benefits from ample sunlight.

Close proximity to educational facilities, retail, restarants and public

transport could act as a potential drawcard to the site. A catalytic Sunday

Farmer’s Market provides opportunity for public engagement with the site.

streetscapesstreetscapesThe Melville Street site connects Brisbane, Melville and Elizabeth Streets

and new developments in this location would provide an opportunity to

‘patch the gap’ in the existing streetscape along these three frontages.

Each street provides different character although surrounding buildings vary

in style and heritage significance, with all buildings generally two-storeys in

height. Buildings on the opposite side of each of these three streets also

contain a rich array of buildings of unique styles, eras and construction

types, which contributes to the diverse formal and spatial character of this

precinct.

Development to the Melville Street site has the potential to engage with

each of these street-frontages whilst contributing to pedestrian interest and

aesthetic character of Melville, Brisbane and Elizabeth Streets.

The Melville Street frontage is typified by raised walls and hard edges to

mediate the noticeable gradient to the site. The site itself opens out onto a

relatively flat area of the streetscape. From here, Melville Street enables a

short walking route to the Campbell Street educational facilities such as the

Polytechnic and the University of Tasmania Menzies Centre.

The Brisbane Street frontage sits at the Northern side of the site and

currently has the advantage of transport infrastructure such as the

neighbouring Hobart Bus Terminal. Recent precedents for development can

be seen in the adaptive re-use of a building to the North East of the site.

The Elizabeth Street frontage maintains a similar character of two-storey

the North to penetrate into the site. The Elizabeth Street frontage presents

many opportunities due to its situation on the Elizabeth Street spine to both

the CBD and North Hobart, which is a heavy pedestrian route.

Zoning and Planning

The Melville Street site falls under two different zones based on the City

of Hobart Planning Scheme. These two zones include the Argyle Street

Precinct ‘6A’ and Elizabeth Street Precinct ‘8A’ .

The Melville Street site is surrounded by mixed function and zoning, making

it ideal for mixed use development.

The City of Hobart Planning Scheme highlights that the Elizabeth St Precinct

(8A) should ‘maintain its function as a retail, wholesale and office area, with

residential use being an important subsidiary activity.’

Similarly, the new development should ‘maintain the linear image of

Elizabeth Street which is a dominant feature of the overall character of the

precinct’.

The City of Hobart Planning Scheme depicts the Argyle Street Precinct

(6A) serves as ‘an area for the consolidation of activities servicing the

central area and also as a location for activities inappropriate to the central

precincts but nonetheless requiring or benefiting from a central metropolitan

location’.

As such, it should ‘continue to develop with a mixture of medium density

activities such as small offices, retailing, wholesaling, light industry and

automotive uses. The present excess of vacant and under utilised land

should be progressively reduced. A higher density of development is

encouraged’.

development considerationsdevelopment considerations

Hobart and surrounds contain various housing types from traditional ‘one

house per lot’ to smaller detached, townhouse or apartment developments.

The Melville Street site should consider the development of a range of

housing types to accommodate the needs of various user groups and

tenants.

The Melville Street site is classified under the City of Hobart Planning

Scheme as both a ‘Central Commercial and Administrative’ and a ‘Central

Service’ zone which permits building heights to a maximum of 12 metres.

However, site contours may offer potential for internal built fabric to apply

for discretionary permits to breach this height limit. Current neighbouring

buildings are predominantly two-storey heritage retail tenancies.

harbour lies as a direct neighbour to the city centre, but the connections between

the city and the water are generally poor.

The Gehl Architects Report, Hobart 2010 Public

Spaces Public Life: A City with People in Mind,

recommended the enhancement of four key

strategies for the city of Hobart. These strategies

include:

_ identify and connect the city’s distinctive

landscape features

_ develop a balance between the circulation of

vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians

_ develop a more diverse and liveable city

centre, with a more diverse use mix of uses

_ ensure a city with a beautiful and surprising

visual environment and with high quality street

scapes

Along with recommended strategies, the report

also highlighted the potential development of

Campbell Street into an Educational Precinct, as

a key pedestrian environment.

Developments on the Melville Street site have

the potential to act as a gateway from Elizabeth

Street to the desired ‘Educational Precinct’ along

Campbell Street.

The Hobart City Council has identified the

importance of the network of connections that

link the existing and future education facilities on

Campbell Street and beyond to Elizabeth Street

and the existing network of commercial spaces.

Similarly, pedestrian movement to and through

Campbell Street could improve connection

between the city and water - an asset which is

often forgotten.

ANALYSIS OF SPECULATIONS ANALYSIS OF SPECULATIONS

To analyse speculation schemes, a rating system has been devised to identify

and assess each speculation. This system focuses on four key desirable

characteristics being space, urban environment, economic (yield) and social

(diversity of interaction).

The developed rating system is a hybrid matrix that amalgamates the criteria

developed by Gehl Architects - for assessing the quality of urban space; and

the criteria identified by the Australian Commonwealth Government’s National

Urban Policy.

By amalgamating these two rating systems, the following projects can:

_assess the scale of development on the site (yield) against other criteria for

the quality of built environments

_compare propositions to other exemplars of good urban design of public

spaces, assisting the local authorities to identify projects that best meet the

and progress the recommendations of the 2010 Hobart and Launceston Gehl

Architects ‘Places for People’ surveys

_enable assessment against Australian National Urban Policy

The success of projects has been analysed under key criteria for developers,

planners, designs and the wider community - illustrating the strengths and

weaknesses of each project.

The diagram to the right is an example assessment of a development,

showing strength or weakness against each of the criteria. The green outline

indicates the ideal for an assessed project - with the best developments

strong in each of these identified criteria. In this example assessment, 5

criteria are strong - diverse, safe, connected, comfortable, enhancing - and

there are three criteria assessed as weak - vibrant, accessibility, enduring.

The Melville Street vacant carpark site holds tremendous potential for city

connections through its access to three separate street edges. The site has

potential as a catalyst residential and community living project instigating

movement back into the Hobart CBD. These student speculations build upon

the idea of garden oriented development (G.O.D) as a means of integrating

residents at a community friendly level. Participation and activity are integral

to a successful public space. Located towards the edge of the CBD, the

Melville Street site provides not only mid city connections but also as a greater

connection along Elizabeth Street into North Hobart, seeking to promote

pedestrian travel routes on both sides of the catalyst project. These projects

demonstrate possibilities for the city’s vacant spaces to become productive

city space, both for living and the passer-by, whilst attaining a plot ratio of 1.7.

The progression through a series of thresholds and community square

spaces is a central focus of the scheme and private building spaces have

the ability to open up for public use. The scheme is built to two boundary

edges with one edge allowed to ‘breathe’, this leads to an open central

courtyard. Retail space is oriented around public courtyard spaces and

grates reveal the presence of the Hobart Rivulet across the site.

To formulate a brief for the site, the current site conditions are analysed and both the constraints and potentials of the site are mapped. The 2010 Gehl Architects report, Public Spaces and Public Life: A City with People in Mind, and the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme are seminal documents that are also used to inform the brief and the speculations that arise from this. Major issues that are considered are the way in which we ‘live’ in public spaces

and the relationship between communal and private spaces.

Speculative proposals developed in UTAS School of Architecture & Design

studios were developed to explore different programmatic opportunities.

These are analysed to defined a set of strategic approaches, which are

then analysed against criteria that evaulate the social, economic and

environmental contribution, in terms of both architectural and urban design.

Research INTO Design examines design for a historical and theoretical perspective. Site analysis of the physical, historical and legislative context of the project provided an understanding of constraints and opportunities, and assisted in the formation of the brief.

Research FOR Design involves investigations conducted with a design application in mind. This involved an exploration of national and internation urban design guidelines and protocols to establish a matrix for the evaulation of speculative proposals.

Research THROUGH Design takes design processes to constitute the research methodology itself. Speculative proposals that drew on both urban design principles and the local context were developed to present new ideas for the use of the site, considering the implications for the city more broadly.

Good urban design is a matter of creating the right conditions to make

places work and a successful planning system has a central role in

achieving this aim. Making successful places also depends not only on

the right mix of land uses, such as housing, retail or industry, in the right

location; but also on getting the physical form of development right.

Urban design is the process of shaping the setting for life in cities, towns

and villages. It is process that involves politicians, stakeholders and people

from various professional backgrounds. The following aspects for good

urban design are as set out by CAB (2011).

The protocol is the result of two years of collaboration between peak community and industry organisations, States, Territories, Local Governments, and the Australian Government.

Creating Places for People does not take a one size fits all approach. It provides broad principles for urban design that take into account the unique characteristics of a location, people’s enjoyment, experience and health, and encourages excellence and collaboration in the design and custodianship of urban places

The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) depicts good urban design as not an abstract ideal, but a matter of creating the right urban conditions to make places work, with planning system having a central role in achieving such aims.

It denotes that the planning system has always been concerned with getting the appropriate mix of land uses with the appropriate locations, yet now we recognize that making successful places also depends on the physical form of the development. CABE iterates that such has long been recognised within historic areas, and that every town and city holds significance to those who live or work within that particular context. As a result, urban design holds relevance from the largest to the smallest scale.

CABE defines urban design as the process of shaping the setting for lives within cities, towns and villages – a process that involves a collaboration with a wide range of people, successful outcomes depending on the effective cooperation of such people. Above all, CABE iterate that good urban design is a powerful towel for achieving a higher quality of life – acting as a facilitator to the practice of the everyday.

and Built Environment, 2011.

national urban policyIn 2011, the ‘Major Cities Unit’ division of the Australian Commonwealth

Government released ‘Our Cities, Our Future: A National Urban Policy for a

Productive, Sustainable and Livable Future’. This national urban policy is the

Australian Government’s strategic policy framework for the 18 major cities of

Australia. It articulates the role of the Australian Government in helping our

cities work better, whether through direct investment or in partnership with

key stakeholders.

One of the actions arising from the National Urban Policy was a commitment

to develop an urban design protocol.
