Objectives (Precinct-wide ambition) Guidelines Example initiatives to meet guidelines (residential) Example initiatives to meet guidelines (commercial) Suggested tools
S1-03.O1 To prioritise active transport (walking and cycling) as a means of accessing services and facilities within the Armstrong Creek Town Centre. S1-03.G1 Ensure the provision of movement and access networks are designed and planned based on the following priority:
  • pedestrian and mobility restricted;
  • cycling;
  • public transport user; and
  • private cars.
 Link any internal movement and access routes to the broader network prioritising active transport. This could include design and placement of pedestrian crossings and signage. Provide an overview of the project’s approach to movement and access and its alignment with the PSP objectives. This could take the form of a green travel plan.Example evidence:
  • Plans and engineering drawings.
  • Discussion in SMP.
  • Discussion in Traffic/Movement and Access reports.

S1-03.O3 To minimise car-based travel by providing mixed use neighbourhoods with recreation facilities community infrastructure and employment opportunities. S1-03.G5 Prioritise bus movements over private vehicle movements. Where involved in delivery of street network ensure lane design intersection design and signal sequencing prioritises bus movements.Example evidence:
