are to be provided at either end of Windsor Walk including a large space suitable for active recreation at the Canberra Avenue end of Windsor Walk as depicted in Figure 19.

Detailed conditions of planning, design and development

Building orientation
Buildings are to be sited parallel with the Avenues (Kings Avenue, Brisbane Avenue and Sydney Avenue), with National Circuit and State Circle, to provide definition to the geometry of the Griffin's Plans with built form.

Car parking
Surface car parks are inappropriate as foreground to the views from Parliament House and, to the extent they are permitted on a temporary basis, they are to be carefully screened with landscaping.
Basement car parks should be constructed below finished ground level and concealed from public streets and pedestrian areas.
Multi storey parking structures are to be designed to minimise their visual and physical impacts on the important public streetscapes of the Main Avenues and Windsor Walk.
A parking structure, if provided on the corner of Windsor Walk and Brisbane Avenue, should be located behind a screen of habitable retail/office buildings with address frontages to Brisbane Avenue and Windsor Walk and integrated in design with the retail/office buildings.
Particular attention should be given to the design of roofing to parking structures to relieve the visual impact of large roof areas.  A maximum height below RL 591 may apply to parking structures to relieve their visual and physical impact on the public domain.
Undercroft parking, that is, open parking basements projecting above ground level, will only be permitted where the National Capital Authority is satisfied that it does not limit the opportunity to create attractive landscape areas, and will not be permitted on public street frontages and Windsor Walk.
Parking policies for the York Park area are designed to encourage greater use of public transport for the journey to work.
An overall reduction in the total long‑term car parking provision is proposed. This will be achieved by initially limiting the amount of on‑site parking permitted in new developments.
On‑site car parking should be provided, at a rate of 1 space per 100 square metres of gross floor area, for new offices approved in the York Park area.  A higher on‑site and/or off‑site provision may be required by the National Capital Authority in specific cases, after taking into account the relationship between on‑site parking, off‑site parking opportunities and the capacity of public transport in the area.
Parking for non‑office uses will be provided at rates consistent with the standards of the ACT Government.
Surface car parks on unleased land will be progressively replaced by strategically located multi‑level parking structures and/or underground parking areas. Supplementary car parking in temporary surface car parks may be provided pending
