Urban Design
The height of new buildings should reflect and emphasise the topography of the Precinct, at the same time respecting the height and scale of heritage items.
New buildings within the Precinct that are close to the Precinct boundaries are to respect the character and height of buildings in their immediate vicinity.
Higher buildings may be accommodated towards the eastern part of the Precinct to the south of the Locomotive Workshop building and Garden Street, to provide a focus and symbol for development. Any such buildings should not compromise the environmental amenity, heritage significance and general scale of development in their locality.
Development involving former railway buildings and associated items of heritage significance is to result in their conservation and re-use.
Public Domain
Public recreation areas are to provide for a range of recreational opportunities for the residents and workers within the Precinct. Links for pedestrians, cyclists and disabled people are to provide access to buildings and other places within the Precinct and access across the Precinct from Darlington to the Redfern/Waterloo commercial area.
