Policy DES1 – Principles of urban design (selected provisions)

Urban design principles addressing diversity of land uses, active frontages, healthy environments, sustainable transport connections, and appropriate management of parking and bin storage to avoid negative street-level impacts.

f. Promoting a diversity of land uses that provide active frontages and ensure vibrancy throughout the day; h. Promoting healthy environments and sustainable development that support and encourage walking, cycling and access to public transport that maximises connections to the city's network of green and blue infrastructure; k. Ensuring that on-site vehicle parking provision and movement, where required, and any external bin storage areas do not have a negative impact at street level which would result in the creation of dead frontage or unnecessary clutter.
