Lyell McEwin Health Precinct Master Plan - City of Playford

4.0 Constraints &OpportunitiesThe task of developing a high quality innovative urban space integrating with existing andproposed facilities on the Core Site will require a considered approach to land use and builtform confi guration, coupled with an effi cient, legible movement framework and streetscapeimprovements. The Master Plan will also determine the optimal location for the identifi edfacilities.4.1 ConstraintsThe current Lyell McEwin Hospital Stage C redevelopment project will increase the LMHbuilding footprint on the current site.Stage C buildings have been designed to carry extra fl oors in future should they be required.Other opportunities for vertical expansion are only available in isolated areas as the Stage Aand Stage B areas of the Hospital were not engineered for additional building height.More broadly speaking there is considerable potential to secure additional land for variousactivities and facilities and / or promote appropriate developments near the Hospital as partof the broader Precinct whilst acknowledging the various land owners and differing land usesurrounding the site. Refer to Figure 4.1.The road and transport system has signifi cant capacity to underpin further development. Thesite, whilst being somewhat removed from the nearest railway stations, is nevertheless welllocated for the establishment of a Precinct that is connected to rail, bus and bicycle networksand businesses in the local area.Improvements are required to the movement system and road network but this is not aconstraint to the development of the Precinct.LYELL McEWIN HEALTH PRECINCT - MASTER PLAN 25
