servicing are placed. The regional analysis and sustainability tool<br />

encouraged more information to be considered at this stage,<br />

including:<br />

• site selection, land use justification and planning context;<br />

stage, including proposals for streetscape and character, area-wide<br />

urban design, universal access, building materials selection and<br />

relationship to adjacent communities. It is at this level that specific<br />

commitments regarding community and economic programs will be<br />

identified.<br />

• broad biodiversity and open space issues;<br />

• flood risk, drainage management, sustainable urban<br />

drainage systems;<br />

• transport accessibility and efficiency;<br />

• housing affordability and tenure mix;<br />

• mixed use components;<br />

• employment generation;<br />

• density and form;<br />

• utility and technology provision;<br />

• building adaptability and existing building reuse<br />

proposals;<br />

• non-vehicular circulation and access; and<br />

• future implementation and phasing proposals.<br />

Aspects of energy conscious design, renewable and recycled<br />

resource use, design for health and safety and life cycle<br />

considerations may also need to be considered at district structure<br />

plan stage to reap the greatest sustainability potential from the site.<br />

8.6.2 Local structure plans<br />

Local structure plans involve a more detailed level of planning for a<br />

specific local area. These plans usually show the general layout of<br />

all roads for that area, specific sites for public open space, schools<br />

and drainage. The preparation of structure plans is generally done<br />

in accordance with the prevailing planning scheme and State<br />

government guidelines. The tool will now encourage a greater level<br />

of detail on all aspects of development at the local structure plan<br />
