in contrast to the consistent datum of the existing bluestone wall and allow views into 

the precinct. 

� Establish a scale of development on the northwest interface (Champ Street) that does 

not overwhelm the character of existing development opposite. 

� Retain and activate the historically significant bluestone former prison buildings. 

� Ensure that building heights and placements do not compromise reasonable 

environmental conditions in key public places.

sunlight.
