Of key importance is the responsiveness of development and planning to the particular location and site context of an area. The clause encourages the protection and enhancement of key landmarks and vistas. Architectural and Landscape Architectural quality or merit is also upheld as an important factor in new development in existing urban areas. In addition, design of places and spaces to ensure and support community safety and the protection of ‘neighbourhood character’ are also introduced as objectives in this clause.

Activity Centres are nominated as the primary location for the concentration of commercial and business activity. Clause 18.02: Movement networks Aims to increase access and improve attractiveness of both cycling and walking, as well as other sustainable forms of transport.
