connective framework for moving throughout the area with:
       * Constitution, Commonwealth and Kings Avenues and Parkes Way having the role of principal routes for through traffic and pedestrians connecting other parts of the city to the area
       * major connecting streets including Coranderrk Street, Blamey Crescent and Sellheim Avenue having a role of providing the main connections from the City Centre and adjoining neighbourhoods
       * minor streets having a local access role with priority for pedestrians and cyclists
       * lanes, shareways and arcades having a service, access and pedestrian network role.

Cycle ways
Provide an attractive and direct network for pedestrians and cyclists catering to recreation and commuter needs, separated spatially and by visual character where appropriate to prevent pedestrian conflicts.

Streetscape design
Provide a complementary hierarchy of streetscape elements that relates to the road hierarchy giving primacy to the main avenues, emphasising continuity along their length through avenues of appropriately scaled street trees, consistent pedestrian pavement materials, street furniture and lighting.
Development should generally be constructed to the street boundary to define and enclose streets and create continuous street frontage while allowing variations in individual buildings and uses.
Use a limited palette of high quality pedestrian pavement materials, street furniture and lighting. Pavement and landscape design should have an elegant, simple and bold design emphasising the geometry and formality of the main avenues.
Ensure streetscapes are well lit for pedestrians and optimise security and safety for night time use. Footpath areas should be wide enough to cater for pedestrians and specific land use requirements and allow for seating areas, outdoor cafés, planting and urban art.
Wider pavements for outdoor cafés and public amenity are to be located on the sunny southern side of the avenue.

Active frontages
Individual buildings will contribute to the definition of blocks and streets, with the greatest levels of public activity, shops and building entrances on main avenues, streets and public spaces.
Blank façades to public spaces and streets are to be avoided.
Active streets should be a priority along Constitution Avenue and other streets throughout the area, with new development generally incorporating active ground level frontages to enliven public streets and spaces and provide passive surveillance.
Ground level frontages will present an attractive pedestrian‑oriented frontage providing active uses for a minimum of 30 percent of the street frontage. Key active frontages are to have a minimum of 75 percent active uses.
