3.17 Urban Design
The DPA will introduce structure plans which
clearly designate the proposed open space
network. The open space network has been
formulated taking in to account existing
drainage lines and the need for
detention/water treatment areas in key
locations. The open space network has also
been designed taking into account the
intended future location of public school sites
given the potential for the shared use of open
space.
A clear urban design focus is also evident in
terms of street design and the treatment of all
public space, including footpath areas.
The DPA introduces policy which seeks to
provide further flexibility in terms of housing
design and delivery.
The DPA introduces policy that further
promotes housing choice and encourages the
inclusion of a range of affordable and high
need housing, in terms of size, style and
density, in areas accessible to public
transport and close to employment
opportunities, appropriate services and
activity centres.
1. Enhance elements that contribute to
the overall character of the
metropolitan area
(c) Reinforce the distinction between the
metropolitan urban areas and the
rural/horticultural areas to the north and
south.
(d) Highlight major radial and grid road
routes through distinctive urban design
and built form treatment.
The DPA introduces policy which provides an
appropriate transition between future
residential growth areas and the
rural/horticultural areas located at the
periphery of the Area Affected.
