Question 9 Response
Principles C and D do not make any reference to residential under Objective 2. Principle C is too commercially focussed and could work against the need for balanced mix of uses to deliver the most sustainable place that is well integrated with adjoining communities and provides real benefit to those communities. A principle relating to the new residential community envisaged within the AAP area would provide better balance.
Objective 5 / Principles I and J - Reference to mixed use development should be included; zoning approach could work against well designed buildings.
Objective 6 / Principles K and L - Stronger connections required to wider area for effective integration. Highly zoned mono use land blocks works against the objective for a well-integrated neighbourhood.
Objective 8/ Principle P - Requires a mixed community - current imbalance of land uses will increase carbon footprint, encourage unsustainable travel behaviour and add to emissions.
