Street and the Pedestrian Spine, with more detailed planting focusing on building entry, public arrival and assembly areas.
Landscapes within the residential courts should focus on passive outdoor uses and residential amenity, with a predominance of deciduous tree planting to maximise winter sun penetration.
Native tree and shrub planting, with dryland grass should be considered for Leverrier Street, to maintain its existing landscape character, while the Pedestrian Spine and Residential arrival zone are to be principally exotic tree and shrub species with irrigated grass areas.

Precinct 3: Main Indoor Facilities

3A. Indoor Arena Zone ‑ South

Purpose and General Characteristics
The purpose of this zone is to provide for major indoor sporting and entertainment venues involving large public attendances and requiring associated public facilities. These venues include the main indoor stadium and various sports halls.
This zone is almost fully developed and generally characterised by large wide span structures in an open landscape setting. This area is the main focus of public involvement in AIS indoor facilities. The zone relates most directly to the adjacent indoor and outdoor facilities of zones 3B and 4A, and the main parking areas west of Leverrier Street. Internal pedestrian access is principally via the central pedestrian spine.

Building Character
New development within this zone should generally seek to retain the character to existing facilities and be part of an integrated building and landscape group. Alterations and additions to existing structures should closely adhere to the design intent of the original, including form, materials and colours. It should allow the existing main structures 'pavilion' character to be maintained in all views, particularly from Leverrier Street. Within this general context, any new facility must have a distinctive design and siting approach either as a complementary secondary element for existing prominent structures or as a separate pavilion, where such visual prominence is justified by function or scale.
The buildings within this zone share an orthogonal relationship to each other and Leverrier Street and constitute a well balanced group within a carefully designed landscape setting. This relationship between the buildings and landscaping should generally be maintained for all new development within the zone.
Apart from the Indoor Stadium, the buildings are mainly two to three storeys in height but differ markedly in scale due to extensive earth mounding, part basements and elevated roof structures. Generally, new development should not exceed the height of adjacent facilities within the zone.

Landscape Character
The landscape character of the zone is predominantly open grassed areas, mounding and paving, which allow open views between facilities and serve as a foil to the large scale sculptural quality of the major Sports Halls. This landscape character and visibility is important for visitor and tourist activities
