Core principles

Core practices

1) Precinct safety and accessibility: the development should be safe and healthy for people waiting to access transport nodes

· Human centred design

· Walkable urban design

· Place and movement design

2) Carbon neutral—positive approach: the development should aim for carbon positive, being at least zero carbon, in both power and transport

· Solar passive design

· Solar active design

· Carbon neutral analysis

3) Local shared mobility: the development should encourage diverse local modal services to access the transit service, with defined spaces

· Local mobility design

· Feeder transport design

· Mobility as a service

4) Property diversity: the density and urban mix should contribute to urban regeneration

· Community engaged planning

· Agglomeration economy analysis

· Financial modelling

5) Property affordability: the development should include diverse property options to provide affordable living as well as affordable housing

· Social housing analysis

· Life cycle assessment

· Sustainability operational analysis

6) Nature-loving and biodiverse spaces: the development should include and connect biophilic and biodiverse greenspaces, supporting endemic species and habitat

· Biophilic design

· Water sensitive design

· Landscape oriented design

7) Inclusive, integrated place-based planning: planning, design and implementation (operation, maintenance) should involve diverse stakeholders and all tiers of government to provide an integrated place-based approach

· Joined up governance analysis
