<strong>Carlisle</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>Supermarket</strong> <strong>Precinct</strong> <strong>Design</strong> Guidelines | June 2011| Version 3<br />

2. EXISTING PRECINCT CONTEXT<br />

THE STUDY AREA<br />

The study precinct is located on the northern side <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carlisle</strong> <strong>Street</strong> and<br />

generally includes land bounded by Chapel <strong>Street</strong> (to the west), Alfred <strong>Street</strong><br />

(to the north), Nelson <strong>Street</strong> (to the east). While the primary redevelopment<br />

area includes the existing supermarket sites and associated parking areas, it is<br />

important that the surrounding context and immediate streetscapes are also<br />

considered in the evolution <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Precinct</strong>.<br />

The renewal <strong>of</strong> key public and privately owned sites within the precinct <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

a strategic opportunity, not only to enhance the economic viability <strong>of</strong> the<br />

centre, but also to significantly improve the quality <strong>of</strong> the public realm<br />

(streets and spaces), and to reinforce the centre’s unique ‘sense <strong>of</strong> place’ for<br />

the local community. Redevelopment within the precinct will act as a catalyst<br />

to improvements in the wider centre.<br />
