            RESPONSE
            On-road cycle lanes are proposed to be constructed on both sides of the internal link road located
            to the east of the proposed development. Please refer to the engineering sections which illustrate
            same.
            A pedestrian footpath is not proposed on the eastern side of the internal link road as part of the
            proposed development as, in the absence of development on these future development sites,
            there will be limited demand for pedestrian movement along that alignment. A pathway can be
            provided along the eastern side of internal link road pursuant to a condition of development
            approval for the future development on those sites.
            A pedestrian pathway has not been provided adjacent to the western edge of the internal link
            road in order to maximise the extent of vegetation being retained to screen the at-grade car
            parking areas and the built elements of the proposed development from the internal and external
            road networks. High quality pedestrian paths are provided from the existing retail centre to the
            proposed development. One path comprises an internal route across the pedestrian link and
            through the internal pedestrian mall and out to the internal link road. A second path extends
            around the external perimeter of the proposed development from the Civic Precinct to the internal
            link road. Both paths are predominantly undercover, are legible, will be signposted and will be
            appropriately illuminated. Both paths are also intuitive and logical and follow the anticipated
            footfall of pedestrians using the centre. The paths are illustrated in Appendix D – Traffic and
            Transport Response to this report.
