The planners at Urban Strategies, state that “the positive urban design outcome at the ground plane level represents significant and measurable design excellence. The provision of a pedestrian link through the site with a central plaza focal point surrounded by active uses creates a dynamic and well rationalised urban space. Excellent pedestrian permeability is provided and the significant areas in which the public can access the site benefit the area as a whole. Areas of open space with various landscaped and hardscape surfaces allows for areas of high interaction between the proposed residents, the general public and workers in the area. Together with low impact vehicular access points away from the public areas an exemplary urban structure is proposed which links to surrounding sites which will create a distinct future character for Everton Park.“
The proposed development seeks 29,298.14sqm of GFA, with 531.97sqm (58.9%) site cover over the 11,510sqm site.
