Precincts Design Active Living

Active living is a way of life that includes physical activity as part of daily routines.

A good movement network is one that has an interconnected system of streets, roads and paths that accommodates pedestrians and cyclists, on-road public transport, emergency and private vehicles.

Public spaces should be well lit after dusk to promote comfortable and safe use of the space.

General

  • Encourage compact form and places of interest and give priority to pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Upgrade infrastructure to encourage walking and cycling across the Precinct to improve community health and enhance safety and vibrancy of the Precinct.
  • Car parking is consolidated in strategic locations and balanced with improving the pedestrian environment.
  • Promote areas within the public realm that concentrate a mix of activities. Ensure an active interface to adjacent land uses.
  • Be comfortable to be in, safe and aesthetically stimulating.
  • Provide ample green space and recreational areas for both active and passive activities, fostering opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities.
