EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Sustainable Design Strategy (2013) is anupdate of council’s Sustainable Design Strategyand Policy (2006). The new strategyincorporates a revised Sustainable DesignPolicy and reinforces council’s philosophy ofcreating sustainable buildings which collectivelycontribute to a more sustainable urbanenvironment.This strategy synergises the evolving changeswithin the design and construction industry inresponse to sustainable development byproviding a framework that supports theintegration of sustainable design early in thedesign process where the most economicaland sustainable outcomes can be achieved.To support this philosophy, council willcontinue to adopt the same approach for itsown developments and to also advocate forsustainable design to be more integratedwithin the planning process.St.Kilda Town Hall Extension, Finalist for Best NonResidential Development, 2010 City of Port Phillip Designand Development Awards.Architects:Williams BoagFeatures Include: Re-use of existing dwelling, active chilledbeam air conditioning units, daylight and motion sensorsfor lighting, rainwater storage tanks, recycled timber.Photography: John GollingsThis strategy sets council’s approach in thefollowing ways: Providing context on the development,implementation and review of SustainableDesign policy to date Providing a vision for the municipality andoutlining the strategy’s connection to otherrelevant Council policy Outlining the scope, objectives andrequirements to which the strategyapplies. Defining the Sustainable Design in thePlanning Process (SDAPP) frameworkand considerations for implementation Defining how Council will assess its owncapital works projects, through aleadership approach Outlining the advocacy efforts required toengage the development community toimplement Sustainable Design Outlining the key performance indicatorsassociated with implementing the strategyand the proposed process for a whole ofstrategy reviewCity of Port Phillip SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGY5

INTRODUCTIONHistorically, the majority of Victorian development ofprivate building stock has occurred withoutconsideration of the complex relationships betweenthe built environment and ecological systems. Buildingperformance has been measured almost exclusivelyby minimum building code requirements, to the pointwhere those are often perceived as the only target toaim for.Growing awareness of environmentalpressures in the past two decades has led to awidespread recognition of the importance of reducingthe ecological impact of the built environment. Goingbeyond minimum requirements and focusing insteadon best practice performance promotes designinnovation and can be accomplished using existingtechnologies and economies of scale, while respectingheritage values.It is the view of this Council that all tiers ofgovernment have a responsibility to address theenvironmental impacts of the built environment.Given its inner city locale, opportunities for renewaland growing housing demand , the City of Port Phillip(CoPP) is in a unique position to continue to provideleadership on the issue of sustainable design to itscommunity, as well as to other Victorian Councils.Skinners Reserve, South Melbourne.Architects: PhooeyFeatures Include: Re-use of existing containers, re-use of existingmaterials, passive solar orientation, effective shading devices.6City of Port Phillip SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGYThe City of Port Phillip has had a long history ofencouraging sustainable design within its municipality.A study was commissioned by CoPP in 1999 to assessthe capacity of the state and local planning policyframeworks to achieve high levels of sustainabledesign integration in the built environment.This resulted in the development of the originalSustainable Design Strategy endorsed by Council inOctober 2003 which was followed by theSustainable Design Policy and updated Strategyendorsed in October 2006.

1.1VISIONThe original Sustainable Design StrategyThe vision is to create a more sustainable(2003) was implemented through the useurban environment, comprised of architecture,of the Sustainable Design Scorecardlandscapes, transport networks andResidential, which was used on ainfrastructure that are low carbon, watervoluntary basis by applicants during thesensitive and resource efficient in bothperiod 2002 – 2005 to assess the sustainabilityconstruction and operation.of residential buildings. A review of thestrategy in 2006 led to the development andendorsement of a formal council policy onthe issue, and a revised strategy document.The 2006 Sustainable Design Policy andStrategy extended the focus to non-residentialbuildings, and since November 2005, theSustainable Tools for an EnvironmentalCity of Port Phillip SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGY7Performance Strategy (STEPS) tool forresidential developments and the SustainableDesign Scorecard (SDS) for non-residentialdevelopment have been council’s preferredmethods of sustainability assessment ofbuilding design.The purpose of this revised Sustainable DesignStrategy is to support Council‘s SustainableDesign Policy (2013) by providing a frameworkfor achieving sustainable design outcomeswithin the municipality. This frameworkaddresses specifically: The sustainable development of themunicipality’s built environment. The promotion of sustainability in the builtenvironment to City of Port Phillipresidents, to other relevant governmentbodies and to the design and constructionindustry.

1.2CONTEXT1.2.1 DEFININGSUSTAINABLE DESIGNThe CoPP recognises that built form has asignificant impact on the greater environmentand that most current common developmentpractices are not environmentally sustainablein the long term. For the purposes of thisstrategy, CoPP defines sustainable design as anapproach to building procurement and otherurban development which works towardsachieving zero net environmental impact.This includes but is not limited to thefollowing: Eliminating the use of non-renewableresources. Eliminating air, soil and water pollution. Creating healthy and accessible indoor andurban environments. Protecting and enhancing natural ecosystems and cycles. Supporting the conversion of ‘waste’ intouseful resources. Creating a built environment that isresilient, flexible and adaptive to climatechange. Supporting decentralised electricity andwater systems. Supporting a move towards understandingand implementing ‘positive development’ Supporting sustainable modes of travel.Jervois St, St.Kilda East, Best New Single Dwellingor Alteration, 2010 City of Port Phillip Design andDevelopment Awards.Architect: David VernonFeatures Include: Re-use of existing dwelling, passive solarorientation, effective shading devices, rainwater storagetank, solar hot water system, photovoltaic solar energysystem.8City of Port Phillip SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGY

Adaptive design works with natureto gain climate clever solutions to living wellon the coast, with increased flooding andrising temperatures.CityCityof PortPhillip SUSTAINABLEDESIGNSTRATEGYof PortPhillip SUSTAINABLEDESIGNSTRATEGY99
