exotic tree and shrub planting. This existing character of landscaping should be maintained and enhanced for new developments in the zone.
Local stormwater drainage, service access and road work changes for future extension of the zone (to the north) should ensure integration with the Pedestrian Spine and cycleway landscape. An integrated landscape planting strategy should be considered for this zone and the (extended) pedestrian spine as a whole.

Precinct  4: Main Outdoor Facilities

4A. Outdoor Stadium and Athletics Zone

Purpose and General Characteristics
The purpose of this zone is to:
       * provide a major outdoor stadium to accommodate large sporting and spectator events
       * provide the main outdoor training and competition venue for AIS track and fields sports
       * accommodate related public assembly, crowd control, transport and parking facilities
       * allow for expanded spectator capacity to house exceptional demands from unique events
       * allow for progressive upgrading of athlete, spectator and media facilities.
The zone is characterised by the large earth formed amphitheatre and main grandstand of the stadium, with its associated lighting towers, ticketing booths, electronic score board and crowd assembly areas. Extensive landscape mounding and planting surrounding the stadium provide a suitable landscape transition with adjacent areas. The athletics area to the south is characterised by relatively modest scale support facilities. The area is most closely related to adjacent spectator access and parking areas, including general parking off Battye and Leverrier Streets and unsealed overflow parking areas to the east.
Careful management is required to ensure design coordination of miscellaneous structures, outbuildings and storage, and also a unified and cohesive landscape framework for the zone.

Building Character
The main buildings and grandstand of the stadium have a dominant structural character and are well integrated with secondary facilities despite a significant difference in scale. The complex relates well to the adjacent Indoor Stadium which employs similar materials, earth mounding and cable supported structure.
The main buildings are visually removed from the adjacent stadia facilities and quite different in character and style. This character should be reflected in any upgrading or new facilities development works. The number of secondary structures/facilities should be limited and grouped wherever possible to minimise their impact on the architecture and landscape of the main facilities. Such support facilities should be integrated with the main stadium or its extensions and the surrounding landscape through appropriate architectural and landscape solutions.
Apart from the main stadium structures, most buildings are and should be limited to single storey. Special consideration should be given to special use structures, such as viewing, judging and media coverage towers, lighting towers, scoreboards and the like, which exceed this limit or may be obtrusively sited in prominent locations.
