             (ii)    built form will provide active frontages to Heron Street, Kingfisher Drive and the Village green, including wide and
                     continuous awning coverage; and
             (iii)   built form will reflect the low key village atmosphere, allowing the trees/ landscape to dominate the character.

(9)    Streetscape Treatment Areas ­ Reinforce the character experience of Peregian Beach. They establish street hierarchy and
       character that is appropriate for the use and role of the street primarily through the extent, quality and application of materials,
       placement of streetscape elements/furniture and interfaces. Treatments should be consistent with any existing or proposed
       streetscape improvement works in the area. Primary streetscape treatment areas for Peregian Beach include:
       (a)   High quality materials and finishes exhibiting local character reinforce Heron Street and the Village Green as the main
             streets;
       (b)   A well connected pedestrian friendly zone with a high level of amenity – low vehicle speeds, attractive vegetated
             streetscaping, continuous, wide, level, weather protected footpaths, safe crossings, etc.
       (c)   Reinforce street activation principles, provide a focus for active interfaces such as well integrated outdoor dining areas;
       (d)   High quality landscaping including enhanced greening at key intersections, street trees with canopy shade cover and
             extensive low level planting;
       (e)   Focus on quality public realm around, and connecting to public transport stops (bus stops on David Low Way);
       (f)   Provide clear, visible, unique and consistent signage at entries into the town to help people understand where they are;
             and
       (g)   Improve pedestrian crossings and prioritising pedestrian crossing a the two ‘special place’ intersections.

(10)   Special Place ­ Two ‘special places’ have been identified in the Peregian Beach Town Centre and are detailed below:
       (a)   The intersection of David Low Way and Heron Street, including the pathway connection to Rufous Street ­ it is a highly
             attractive town arrival and meeting place, that people identify as the ‘centre’ of Peregian Beach. The combination of the high
             quality landscape, built form that address the intersection, places to rest and meet, and the level of way finding and place
             signage contribute to its identity, role and function. The high quality and function of this space should be maintained and
             enhanced, with further refinement of pedestrian access ­ crossings should be maximised and as close to the intersection
             as possible.
       (b)   The intersection of Heron Street and King Fisher Drive is a highly attractive town arrival (particularly via the coastal trail),
             meeting place and activity place. The combination of the high quality landscape, built form that address the intersection,
             places to rest and meet and the level of way finding signage contribute to its role and function. The quality and function of
             this space will be maintained and enhanced, with adjacent development site contributing to the qualities of the ‘special
             place‘­ particularly encouraging activation/activity.

(11)   Key Pedestrian/Cycle Connections ­ Key links include:
       (a)   Heron Street ­ This is particularly an important east­west link for pedestrians and cyclists.
       (b)   IGA, the Village & Coastal Park – Another important east–west link for pedestrians and cyclists.
       (c)   David Low Way – Important north­south link for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly linking the Rufous Street Master Plan
             area with the core of the village centre.

(12)   Gateways – The following primary gateways have been identified as important arrival and departure experiences for all modes of
       transport. Consideration has been given to the experience of town character (landscape, built form, views, etc.), legibility of the
       town and the hierarchy and role of spaces and streets. Primary Gateways typically mark the arrival at the edge of the centre and
       include a key view ­ a ‘first impression’ of Peregian Beach as a place and a community. Gateway treatments would be enhanced
       through the following:
       (a)   Intersection of Woodland Drive and David Low Way at a key bend in the street and arrival at the edge of the town centre.
             Other key characteristics include being adjacent to community precinct/ community building on corner site and providing
             regional pedestrian and cycling links/ arrival from the west. Recommendations include:
             (i)     Intensification of landscaping on corners and in the centre median;
             (ii)    Improvements to pedestrian pathways and connections (to centre); and
             (iii)   Any redevelopment of corner sites to positively address corners and reinforce the intersection.

       (b)   Southern gateway in the vicinity of the 211 David Low Way (hardware store) and the wider landscaped verge. Key
             characteristics include adjacent views to the western mountain ranges and dramatic change in land use.
             Recommendations to reinforce and enhance the gateway experience include:
             (i)     Intensification of landscaping;
             (ii)    Improvements to pedestrian pathways and connections (to centre); and
