Design Features

Public Open Space

Community Facilities

A range of walkable, appealing and public open spaces help meet recreational, play and social needs.

Co-located and integrated facilities, such as schools and recreation facilities, maximise community interaction and efficiency of travel.

Buildings

Destinations

Design buildings and sites that specifically support increased levels of physical activity, whether incidental or deliberate.

Create compact mixed-use neighbourhoods which include employment, education, public transport and fresh food outlets.

Movement Networks

Housing Diversity

Facilitate safe and convenient travel within neighbourhoods through accessible and connected walking, cycling and public transport routes.

Housing density and diversity can support critical infrastructure, connect neighbourhoods and help people age in place.

Sense of Place

Healthy Food

A sense of community emerges when residents have opportunities to meet and interact in attractive places of interest.

Planning for food demands focus on production space, transport infrastructure and availability and access to healthy food outlets.
