education and training of youth,
Indigenous people, the disabled and

care facilities with other community
facilities to maximise the use of
resources and develop relationships

training facilities in locations matched to
local employment opportunities and/or
the likely catchment for such facilities.

3.11 Health and Community Services
The Education Works program provides for
the development of two new schools west of
Main North Road. The DPA proposes
structure plans, identifies locations for these
new educational facilities together with others
that will be required in the future to sustain
the new community.
DECS has provided input concerning the
desired location and size of sites for new
integrated education and child care facilities.
Policies proposed as part of this draft DPA
support the establishment of these new
integrated facilities.
The location of future school sites has
specifically considered the location of future
activity centres and likely future public
transport routes.
1. Create living environments with
services and facilities to support
healthy lifestyles and active
communities.
(a) Support the physical, mental and social
health of individuals and communities by
ensuring good access to a range of
education facilities, employment and
training, affordable housing, social
services, health centres and hospital
facilities.
(b) Encourage active lifestyles by providing
a range of open space and recreation
facilities within neighbourhoods and
through the design of neighbourhoods to
encourage walking and cycling to local
activities.
(c) Manage the interface areas between
The proposed Structure Plans and
associated policy support the provision of
health and community services within both
regeneration and future growth areas.
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.
