DMT 5: Pedestrians and Cyclists

Development proposals will be required to ensure that safe, direct and inclusive access for pedestrians and cyclists is provided on the site connecting it to the wider network, including:

  • the retention and, where appropriate, enhancement of any existing pedestrian and cycle routes;
  • the provision of a high quality and safe public realm or interface with the public realm, which facilitates convenient and direct access to the site for pedestrian and cyclists;
  • the provision of well signposted, attractive pedestrian and cycle routes separated from vehicular traffic where possible; and
  • the provision of cycle parking and changing facilities in accordance with Appendix C, Table 1 or, in agreement with Council.

Development proposals located next to or along the Blue Ribbon Network will be required to enhance and facilitate inclusive, safe and secure pedestrian and cycle access to the network. Development proposals, by virtue of their design, will be required to complement and enhance local amenity and include passive surveillance to the network.
