walkways such as University Avenue must ensure that adequate sunlight is available for pedestrian and cyclist movement and should limit overshadowing, especially during mid‑winter mid‑day period.
 8.       Buildings along Clunies Ross Street must not be designed to create a continuous wall of development, but must be separated and orientated to permit views into and from the campus, and variable in height to create visual interest and gateway markers.
 9.          Where taller buildings are located to provided gateway elements or visual markers, there should be no loss of pedestrian amenity in public spaces.
10.          Buildings adjacent to heritage places must reflect, respect and interpret the character of the heritage place.
11.        Buildings along Liversidge Street are to be configured to protect the landscape character of the campus as seen from important vantage points at ground level, such as Commonwealth Avenue Bridge.

Heritage
 1.        The design of new buildings will respond to the heritage context, in terms of landscape setting, bulk, form, scale, colour, texture and materials.  Architectural imitation will be avoided and new work will be readily identifiable as such, but contextually respectful.
 2.       Where a proposal has the potential to affect a heritage place or the Acton Conservation Area as identified on Figure 142, a Heritage Impact Assessment should be undertaken to identify possible impacts upon heritage values of a place and recommend mitigation measures.
 3.        New development must be integrated sensitively within the campus and enhance important natural and developed features.

Landscape
 1.        The overall natural and open landscape setting of the campus is to remain the major defining element.  Development proposals must demonstrate that the building design achieves this aim.
 2.       Landscape design for the spaces surrounding buildings should be compatible with the character of the immediate precinct.  Landscape design should frame legible pedestrian linkages and attractive spaces between buildings.
 3.        Landscaping for new development near Sullivans Creek will reinforce its significance as a green spine through the campus and enhance the biodiversity and visual character of the creek line.
 4.       Key open spaces and landscaped corridors are to be retained without significant development to protect their role as important open space 'lungs' and habitat areas on campus.  The landscape character around the periphery of the campus, which provides a distinctive sense of place that announces the University, is to be retained and reinstated as part of any planning and construction for new development.
 5.        Proposed landscaping must reflect the intended landscape structure for the university as shown in Figure 140.

Transport and movement
 1.        New development must accommodate circulation systems to ensure that campus users can move safely about the
