                    About the amendment

                    Amendment C270 introduced new built form provisions in the central city, the area made up of the Hoddle Grid and Southbank.

                    The provisions were developed to provide adequate separation between tall buildings, ensure that public space and important landmarks are protected from wind and overshadowing, and establish  a value capture system to deliver public benefits such as public open space, laneways, community space, or affordable housing.

                    The full details of the amendment are available from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
