Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development Agency7.3 ProposalThe proposal aims to create a multi-use versatile site that supports new and existing communities.The public domain will provide an appropriate setting for a high quality, high density, and inner urbansubdivision development. Public domain design makes a considered response to the site as a majornew piece of Constitution Avenue, and as an edge to the existing suburb of Campbell. The characterof streets reflects the detail and materials of Canberra central streets, but with a density andcharacter of landscape that suits the suburban edge.New streets, plazas and the park maximise open space benefit to the new and existing communities.Traffic considerations have been balanced by ensuring amenity for pedestrians and cyclists, tocreate a network of safe, delightful, and walkable streets that promote good health and wellbeing.Existing walking trails have been maintained at the park edges, and opportunities for walking andcycling enhanced with paths into and through the site. It is expected that the paths will be used alsoas a link between Anzac Parade and the lake, via a safe dedicated crossing at Road 3.The design of the park responds to both the existing site landform, and to the aspirations of existingresidents of Campbell, and others who contributed to community information sessions. Campbelland Reid already support a number of small parks, and larger open spaces for organised recreation.These existing reserves tend to be very sparse, informal spaces with traditional facilities – a clusterof play equipment, picnic tables etc.The new park will cater to a much greater density of population than existing parks, and will alsoserve people working in the new commercial spaces of Campbell Section 5 and adjacentdevelopments, as well as visitors to Anzac Parade. It needs to be robust and diverse, providingflexibility of use. Development of the space from field to park also offers an opportunity to integratelandscape and water sensitive urban design, contributing environmental benefits that extend beyondthe site.7.3.1 Streets and Urban PlazasThe structure of streets and open spaces provides legibility within the development and enshrinesaccess as a genuine piece of the city. Walkable, connective streets provide a continuity of viewcorridors linking with existing streets in Campbell.Two new generous streets terminate on axis with memorials, in the form of landscaped outdoorrooms to reinforce the importance of ANZAC Parade and its memorials. This preserves and framesview corridors to these permanent public monuments and provides a setting in which the urban formallows them to be read with a background of sky and vegetation.The alignment to ANZAC Parade memorials is unique to the Preferred Concept Master Plan andhighly supported throughout the consultation process. It acts to reinforce the civic structure of InnerCanberra as it evolves over time.New park-edge streets provide the longest perimeter of park frontage and define the boundary withthe public domain, creating a legible address for the park.November 2012 Cardno 36
Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development AgencyThe existing streets of Getting Crescent and Wendouree Drive are connected into the site. Thealignments of Chowne Street and Rankin Street are aligned to Road 1-(B) & 1-(C) and Road 3respectively to continue contextual public domain access and view corridor alignments.1 Road 2-(B) and Road 2-(C):Extend from Getting Crescent as a park-edge street;Northern verge makes a generous edge extension to the park;Support large deciduous trees, commensurate with building height in the street reserve, andbuildings with a landscaped setback; andTerrace buildings can be adaptable for home office or small business at ground floor.2 Road 3:Is the only link into the site from Constitution Avenue with full traffic access;Links the new park with the greater open space network of Lake Burley Griffin;Functions as a water street treating runoff and forming a natural path to the Lake;Has smaller scale deciduous trees in street verge and large scale native evergreens withinthe central swale; andGround floor activity such as cafes, retail and employment space is encouraged.3 Road 1-(B):A broad park edge street with a structured urban edge opening onto the park;Reinforced by built form at the corners and steps back in the centre;In a privileged setting and provides opportunities for a cafe opposite the park; andLined with large scale native evergreen trees planted in the parking lane along the builtedge. Park edge planting has large deciduous trees to define the street. Views undercanopies reinforce the connection between street and park.4 Road 1-(C):Not connected to Constitution Avenue for vehicles, but terminates in a small plaza whichextends the Avenue as public domain;A slower vehicle speed street with narrow carriageway;Planted within the parking lane with tall native evergreen trees and interplanted within theverge with broad deciduous trees, it maintains generous footpaths; andActivated at ground floor including clothing and homewares, books, cafes, etc.5 Road 1-(A) and Road 2-(A):Park-to-park streets, terminating at one end by a memorial and ANZAC Parade, and at theother by the new park;Wide street reservations allowing multiple rows of planting;Generously centre-landscaped for robust deciduous planting;Distinct in character and spatial definition to reinforce built form. The triple row of plantingensures a high degree of vegetation and shade over the wide street and also to buildingfaces in summer months. Large deciduous species should be commensurate in scale withtrees on Anzac Parade. They provide seasonal colour and allow solar penetration in winter;and;Planted with species to heighten the experience and backdrop to the memorials.November 2012 Cardno 37
