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.
