Precinct 1 - Development Framework

Our vision for Precinct 1 is that new built form will strengthen the street based experience with open and engaging frontages.

Examples of how this could be achieved include:

A three storey street wall will soften the streetscape, and taller developments will be set behind the wall to minimise visual impact.
Building heights will rise in locations where overshadowing impacts can be managed to key retail streets.
Existing blank walls to Keys Street, Olsen Street, Evelyn Street and key laneways will be gradually replaced with well designed buildings providing windows and activity at ground level.

On the map below you will see the details of the Sub-Precinct boundaries and other built form requirements for Precinct 1. On the right hand side of the map you can find a summary of the Development Requirements.
