Construction Management Plan (CMP)
A Construction Management Plan (CMP) (docx, 392KB) is a condition of a Planning Permit. This condition is a requirement of large or difficult to build developments. Each CMP specifies how construction activity for that project will be organised to minimise disruption to the surrounding community.
We recognise that the individual construction sites at the Mirvac (Enclave) development in Ascot Vale are relatively small in size, however due to the large number of lots within each stage, construction activity at such a scale and density can become difficult to manage and impact on the environment, local residents, amenities and assets.
As a part of the Planning Permit for the staged subdivision at the Mirvac (Enclave) development site in Ascot Vale, a CMP is required for each individual dwelling as a condition of the Planning Permit.
To assist individual sites in providing a CMP, we have prepared a list of conditions that are to be followed during the construction by the Responsible Builder and all subcontractors and trades working on the site.
The guidelines address a range of issues to be managed onsite, including:
- public safety, amenity and site security
- operating hours
- noise and vibration controls
- air and dust management
- stormwater and sediment control
- waste and materials re-use and traffic management.
New traffic signals
As part of the development, improvement works will be undertaken at the intersection of Epsom Road, Doncaster Street and Mirams Street.
The works, which are required to improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow in the area, include:
- new traffic signal lights
- pedestrian crossings
- road resurfacing
- line markings
- signage
A plan provides more detail.
It is estimated that these improvements works will commence on Monday, 12 January and are expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. Although unlikely, timings are subject to change and the contractor will send a letter to surrounding residents shortly before works commence.
We are working in partnership with the developer to undertake these works and, while we don't envisage any major disruptions, we will endeavour to minimise the impact on residents during construction.
New land owners
The following information is provided to assist you in obtaining the necessary planning approval from Council for the construction of your new home:
- So you’ve bought a vacant lot within the Ascot Chase development... what do you need to know now?
- Application form for the approval of your new home
- Stage 2 (Ascot Chase) requirements
- Stage 3-5 (Enclave) requirements
- Clause 55 (ResCode) Assessment
Important note: The site is considered a ‘Class P’ site with regards to classification for residential development due to the thickness of uncontrolled fill and the presence of the weak soils (Coode Island Silts) at depth over parts of the site which will lead to ongoing settlement. Please contact our Technical Services Department on 9243 8888 for further information.

Read our:
- Development Plan (pdf, 1.22MB) which sets out the framework for the future planning and development of the Ascot Chase project (as per Schedule 4 to the Development Plan Overlay of the Moonee Valley Planning Scheme).
- Construction Management Plan (pdf, 373KB), otherwise referred to as a Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP). This CEMP has been prepared by GHD Pty Ltd for Urbex Pty Ltd, and is applicable to the Ascot Chase development. The CEMP was endorsed as part of the Development Plan for the Ascot Chase development and is included as Appendix 6 in the Development Plan. The purpose of the CEMP is to bring to the attention of all parties working on site, environmental protection requirements to ensure that they are effectively managed throughout all the design and construction stages of the project. Contractors have an obligation to ensure that appropriate implementation measures are put in place and maintained with respect to all matters raised in the CEMP.
- Integrated Project Management Plan (pdf, 435KB). In light of issues arising out the CEMP, an Integrated Project Management Plan (IPMP) was prepared and submitted by BMD Pty Ltd (the major Civil contractor for Ascot Chase). The IPMP has been prepared for the environmental management for the Ascot Chase project and specifically for the control of the bulk earthmoving stage of works.
In addition to the above documents, all residential building works not covered by the bulk earthmoving and civil works, are subject to our relevant Local Laws and EPA regulations.
