and culture into its design. Proposals must demonstrate how the following objectives are met:
       * increased active travel opportunities and links to other destinations within the open space network
       * public access through the site via active travel routes
       * improvement in safety and surveillance
       * acknowledgement of  the cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The naturalisation of Sullivans Creek must be explored by proponents as a way of improving stormwater management of the waterway, and enhancing ecological values.

Deep soil zones

A planting zone, no less than five metres wide, should be provided within the front setback areas and be retained for deep soil planting.
Front setback areas should be retained for deep soil planting.
A minimum deep soil zone dimension of five metres should be applied where located on site.
Deep soil zones should be located to retain existing significant trees and to allow for the development of healthy root systems, providing anchorage and stability for mature trees. Landscape and building design must demonstrate:
       * the consolidation of basement and sub‑basement car parks beneath building footprints
       * adequate clearance around trees to ensure long term health
       * co‑location with other deep soil areas on adjacent sites to create larger contiguous areas of deep soil.

Access and parking

Northbourne Avenue
Vehicle access, including verge crossings and driveways, to sites shall be located and designed to ensure pedestrian and cycle priority. The design of vehicle access arrangements to sites fronting Northbourne Avenue should ensure that pedestrian and cyclist desire lines and paths are maximised, the width of the vehicle access way is minimised and its materials integrate with landscaping within the verge and setback.
Where possible, sites should share vehicle access via a shared space with adjoining properties that extends from Northbourne Avenue to the rear street frontage. The space should be designed to prioritise pedestrian and cyclist movement, contain high quality public realm treatments, including tree planting, footpaths and lighting that add visual interest.
Where a site cannot accommodate shared access arrangements, a maximum of one crossover per block is permitted. The crossover and driveway should be located along or close to the side boundaries rather than towards the centre of the block.
To minimise potential conflicts, pedestrian and cyclist, and vehicle access to sites should be clearly separated and distinguishable. This may include changes in surface materials, level changes, or the use of landscaping for separation.
Car parking should be provided in basements. Podium and multi‑level car parking structures fronting Northbourne Avenue are not permitted. On‑grade parking is discouraged and will only be permitted if the following criteria are met:
       * parking is located to the rear of the site away from Northbourne Avenue and
