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 />
