CBD EXISTING CONFIGURATION

CBD Existing Opportunities & Constraints

Well defined urban core with clear layers of supporting uses forming an environment of great potential
Public transport nodes could be reinforced and consolidated in response to a growing population
Access ways are well defined and could be reinforce through the introduction of landscaping interventions to enhance the sense of place and legibility of the existing urban system
The railway should be integrated into the rest of the urban system and turned into a catalyst instead of a barrier.
