significant entry facing the avenue.
Spaces in front of building setbacks are to be landscaped to reinforce the theme of York Park as prestigious buildings in a landscape setting.
External security barriers, if required, such as bollards and retaining walls, should be designed as integral and attractive elements of the civic landscape of York Park.
Services and service entries should be concealed from Main Avenues and pedestrian pathways.
The number of vehicle crossings should be kept to a minimum, to enhance the amenity and safety of pedestrian paths.

Landscape
The landscape setting of York Park will consist of a range of formal and informal spaces that reinforce the geometry of the Griffins' plans and contribute to the setting of Parliament House.
Landscape design in York Park will be of a high quality, commensurate with the location adjacent to Parliament House and places of national significance within the Central National Area.
Landscaping of frontages to State Circle will generally be informal, and similar in character to the native woodlands surrounding Parliament House, in order to visually connect York Park to Capital Hill and contribute to its landscape setting.
The design of car parking areas and arrival courts should incorporate generously scaled tree planting beds to provide shade and separation to parking bays. Quality streetscape furnishings and paving treatments are to be utilised to provide visual relief to surface car parks and vehicular areas within or adjacent to places characterised by higher levels of pedestrian use.

Building form
High quality, prestigious and durable building materials are required to be used for all developments.
New buildings should complement, but not necessarily imitate, the style, colour, form, scale and finishes of surrounding buildings.
Unpainted or galvanised metal will not be permitted on roofs, parapets or fascias.
Lift overruns, plant rooms and any roof mounted aerials, masts and dishes should be designed and sited to have a low visual impact when viewed from the street or Parliament House.
Internal courtyards of office buildings should generally provide deep in‑ground planting conditions and be of a dimension suitable for establishing large trees.

Open Space
Windsor Walk is to serve as a central linear park and continuous pedestrian spine connecting public car parks, office destinations, the proposed retail plaza and a variety of landscaped recreation areas. It is to provide spaces for active recreation as well as quiet outdoor places for workers to enjoy during the day. Nodes of intimate formal parks are to be developed as accents within an otherwise informal woodland character extending the length of the walk. Larger spaces for recreation are to be provided at either end of Windsor Walk.
Windsor Walk is to be developed and retained as landscaped open space. Windsor Walk
