of the Griffins' plans, particularly the vistas to and from Parliament House and the connections to national institutions, monuments and landscape spaces in and around the Parliamentary Zone.
Architectural excellence is essential for development in York Park, commensurate with its location adjacent to Parliament House.
High quality landscape design is essential for the development of York Park as a prestigious setting for National Capital uses and offices.
The landscape design of streets, pedestrian paths and open spaces of York Park should consist of a range of formal and informal spaces that reinforce the Griffin geometry and contribute to the landscape setting of Parliament House.
The public domain of York Park should provide for places for local recreation with a high level of pedestrian amenity.
Individual buildings should contribute to the coherent definition of streets, blocks and public spaces, form the public domain of the precinct, and contribute to the public domain's active pedestrian qualities.
Greater use of public transport should be encouraged, particularly for the journey to work. As should less, or more efficient, use of private transport.
Safe and convenient movement systems for pedestrians and cyclists should be provided within the precinct.
Significant natural and heritage values of the area should be identified and protected.
