CHOOSING FUTURES: Shire Business Centre Master Plan - Stage 2                                                                    17

           k.         Access intersections off Walter Hay Drive are to be via roundabouts in the locations identified onMP2
                      Plan. The form of the access intersection from Eenie Creek Road is yet to be determined by Council.

3.6        ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
           Development and operation of the Site shall be undertaken in a manner that works within the ecological
           constraints and does not place ecological values at risk. This approach is reflected in the objectives, intents and
           performance standards for individual sub-precincts (see Table 4.3).

           Additionally, the first 2 design principles of Section 3.1 nominate -

                      The site should be developed as a centre of urban design and environmental excellence in both built and
                      natural environments, showcasing the attributes of the site, the environmental capabilities of the Shire and
                      best practice environmental technologies.

                      Key design elements should include an integrated public transport system including bike and pedestrian
                      pathways; energy-efficient design; the generation of renewable energy; integration between the built form
                      and the landscape fabric; low key informal places; a visual relationship between indoor and outdoor
                      spaces; waste minimisation; and recycling.

                      These general principles are to be extended into the design approaches for buildings and sites and also
                      into the management phases after operations commence. Development applications will be assessed for
                      attention to these principles and appropriate conditions will be imposed on approvals to achieve these
                      outcomes. Environmental management plans will be prepared for all stages of development.

                      Additional development concepts supportive of ESD principles are to be adopted by developers wherever
                      practicable and shall include-

                                 A preference for energy efficient building material, including choice of glass
                                 Installation of energy efficient hot water systems, preferably solar for small scale water usage or
                                 heat pump
                                 Use of grid-connected photovoltaic devices and associated community education
                                 Use of low energy lighting systems and maximized use of natural light
                                 Passive solar designs and best practice low consumption power needs
                                 Cross ventilation techniques to minimize air-conditioning requirements
                                 Window openings to be optimize natural light and to be screened for balance of light and heat
                                 Solar panels to be located to cause no reflective glare nuisance
                                 Installation of water re-use tanks for landscaping
                                 Use of appliances having the most favourable energy rating.

3.7        OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING
           Open space has important functions for the site. In the southern part the land is constrained for development due
           to flood potential and environmental reasons. This area should be retained in its natural state and dedicated for
           public open space. It will form an important character element for the site and entry to the Shire along Walter Hay
           Drive.
