Development Plan - City of Playford - SA.Gov.au

4. Encourage people to walk and cycle
to destinations by providing suitable
infrastructure and developing safe,
attractive and convenient walking and
cycling environments.
(a) Provide a safe, strategic network of
commuter and recreational links
between major cycle trip destinations,
such as activity centres, community
facilities, public transport, parks and
residential neighbourhoods.
(c) Develop high-quality walking
environments designed for the comfort,
ease and safety of all users.
(d) Improve opportunities for incidental
exercise (particularly walking and
cycling) by locating residential
neighbourhoods and key services and
facilities and other regularly visited
destinations within walking distance of
each other.
9. Ensure integrated transport and land
use supports quality of life outcomes.
(a) Ensure that road corridors are planned
to integrate land use and transport to
address health and safety issues along
transport routes.
(b) Design and locate development adjacent
transport corridors to minimise health
and safety issues arising from road
traffic noise and transport uses through
consideration of a range of factors
including distance from major transport
corridors, building layout and design, the
inclusion of noise attenuation measures,
safe pedestrian and vehicle access
points, and appropriate building
ventilation.
(e) Provide pedestrian and cycle corridors
separate from transport routes and in
coordination with the establishment of
facilities in MOSS, Parklands, linear
parks, and other public open spaces.
The Structure Plan incorporates major and
minor road networks, together with open
space networks and connections. These key
features provide for the reinforcement and
expansion of existing pedestrian and cycling
networks and the creation of new ones.
A key philosophy of the intended urban
design outcome is to create walkable
communities. This is to be achieved through
the regular dispersal of activity centres
throughout the Area Affected, policy which
requires footpaths on both sides of the road,
and structure plans which ensure connectivity
between open space areas.
Existing and predicted future traffic volumes
have been considered as part of the
preparation of the structure plans. For
instance, the future establishment of NEXY
will have a significant impact on traffic
movements on Curtis Road. This has
required an urban design response to the
planning of future development to the north of
Curtis Road, relating to land use, allotment
depth and access considerations.
It is anticipated that all future activity centres
will be well serviced by future public transport
networks.
