8 Character-Led Intensification

Opportunities for intensification of development involving housing and employment uses will be promoted at appropriate locations, justified in accordance with the following approach:

A. Reinforcement: applicable to sites/areas with robust and desirable character where opportunities for redevelopment will involve modest intensification;

B. Transition: applicable to sites/areas where considerable intensification would be justified, resulting in some change in existing character; and

C. Transformation: applicable to sites/areas with a fragmented urban grain, where a transformative approach to intensification and change to existing character can be justified to deliver substantially more development.
