OLDTOWN - MOORETOWN
Local Area Plan
connections outside of the lands. The development of the Western
Distributor Link Road and Ward River Valley Crossing will be linked
into the phasing of the development of the plan lands.
(see section 4).
The detailed design of the road shall be prepared in conjunction
with the preparation of a Masterplan for the lands. The design team
shall be multi-disciplinary comprising urban designers, road design
engineers, architects, landscape architects and
archaeologists.
Design Parameters/Restrictions on this road:
lWDLR shall be designed as a significant tree-lined
boulevard road, with strong urban edges and
accommodating a safe green corridor for cyclists and
pedestrians on both sides of the road, as appropriate.
lA strategic green corridor shall be developed on western
side of the WDLR as it traverses Mooretown.
lA limited number of access points will connect into the
WDLR from the plan lands, with access at approx every
200m. Access points will be more frequent where it is
desirable to enhance further permeability within the scheme,
particularly at Oldtown.
lDevelopment shall front onto the WDLR and shall be arranged
in a perimeter block pattern.
lNo direct access to individual houses/premises shall be
permitted. Limited on-street parking shall be permitted at
strategic locations along the route, at a level which does not
detract from the public realm.
lThe boundary treatment along the route is critical to the
creation of an attractive urban environment. No high walls
shall be permitted, in the interest of providing an attractive,
accessible and safe urban environment. Boundary
treatment shall be creatively designed using quality
materials.
