2. Facilitate transit-oriented<br />

development around selected highservice<br />

public transport routes.<br />

(a) Promote transit-oriented development<br />

and employment uses in a band <strong>of</strong><br />

activity from the Central <strong>City</strong> Activity<br />

Centre to Port Adelaide to maximise<br />

accessibility to, and make use <strong>of</strong>, that<br />

corridor’s existing transport<br />

infrastructure and services.<br />

The Karri Street area has been identified as a<br />

desirable location for a future TOD.<br />

Presently the area is serviced by the<br />

Adelaide-Gawler rail line. Future growth <strong>of</strong><br />

the broadhectare area north <strong>of</strong> Curtis Road<br />

will fuel further demand for services on the<br />

existing rail line.<br />

(b) Promote transit-focused neighbourhoods<br />

along public transport routes identified<br />

on the Adelaide Metropolitan Spatial<br />

Framework.<br />

(c) Reduce car parking requirements in<br />

transit-oriented development areas to<br />

encourage the use <strong>of</strong> public transport<br />

services.<br />

(d) Locate higher-intensity uses within<br />

walking distance <strong>of</strong> transit stops.<br />

3. Maximise accessibility to and use <strong>of</strong><br />

the public transport system through<br />

greater integration with land use to<br />

reduce the need for private motorised<br />

travel.<br />

(a) Incorporate the provision <strong>of</strong> public<br />

transport in planning policy preparation<br />

(for example, new suburbs or activity<br />

centres) and provide on-ground services<br />

at an early stage <strong>of</strong> development to<br />

initiate public transport patronage as the<br />

neighbourhood becomes established.<br />

(b) Locate activities that generate large<br />

numbers <strong>of</strong> visitors, such as major<br />

<strong>of</strong>fices, schools, tertiary education<br />

facilities, and major health and<br />

recreational facilities, at public transport<br />

nodes and/or in activity centres.<br />

(c) Ensure development is oriented<br />

towards, and linked with, public transport<br />

nodes and that convenient and safe<br />

walking access and secure bicycle<br />

storage is provided.<br />

(d) Increase dwelling densities near major<br />

public transport routes, stations and<br />

interchange points.<br />

Policies proposed for the Karri Street area<br />

include reduced parking requirements for<br />

non-residential development in order to<br />

promote public transport routes. Similar,<br />

higher density residential use is facilitated<br />

adjacent to the existing transit stop.<br />

The proposed structure plans establishes a<br />

road hierarchy that is reflective <strong>of</strong> the<br />

anticipated movement networks for the whole<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Area Affected. The road hierarchy<br />

reflects nodes <strong>of</strong> activity including activity<br />

centres and education facilities.<br />
