Urban Design Principles - Usages and Frontages
- To maintain the mixed use character of the area development should create or maintain a mix of uses within each street block.
- Ground floor uses should create safe, attractive streets by fronting active uses or windows and entrances to the street. Frontages dominated by blank facades, external roller shutters or building services should be avoided.
- Vehicular servicing infrastructure should be minimised. Servicing entrances fronting the main street grid should be avoided. Footpaths should be continuous across building frontages and servicing crossovers should be designed to give priority to pedestrians.
