Brian Haratsis28 January 2012
Australian City Building
Based on residential expansion (see UGB, Growth Areas, Urban Footprint etc)
Needs to be refocused on employment and lifestyle to generate sustainable transport
and housing costs

Australian City BuildingCity building approaches have not been modified to include:
◦Service sector employment◦Freight and logistics◦Health oriented developments (No. 1 Employer)◦Ageing ◦Information Technology◦Resource Development (FIFO) etc.

acknowledge the primacy of employment over other planning objects.
Many innovative approaches possible:◦Building trades◦Home centres◦Sustainability centres◦Satellite offices◦Service trades centres

Australian City Building
New approach to green fields development where ‘enterprise’ overtakes ‘urban design’.
Activity Centre Sustainability Criteria

Activity Centre Sustainability Criteria
Activity Centre CriteriaEconomic %land area for cars %private invest/total Delivery/staging Employ in TOD destination Jobs/m2 for employment Financial returnEnvironmental % intermodal use Land use efficiency ratio % non vehicle trips Design/subtropical %use of PTSocialActivity level Persons/vehicles Working & resident pop. Max walkable catchment Visitations level Level of 18/7 activity Housing diversity mix Vehicles/household
Activity Centre PrinciplesEconomic• Maximum leverage of private investment• Max usage of PT usage per $ invested• Max employment• Minimise deliverability risk
Environmental• Change travel behaviour• Maximise PT uses• Max TOD effectiveness• Max land use efficiency
Social• Create Sense of Place• Create self-containment lifestyle• Neighbourhood integration
Australian City Building Lack of understanding of employment/ economic
sustainability is the key factor preventing the emergence of polycentric cities.
Emerging examples & thinking:◦ North Lakes (QLD)◦ Joondalup/ Alkimos (WA)◦ Norwest Business Park◦ Bromelton/ Moorebank/ Kalkallo – Freight & Logistics◦ Airport Cities◦ Port Cities (e.g. Port of Brisbane, Port of Melbourne)

From business parks to mixed use nodes to specialised transport nodes new forms of
activity.

National Policy Position Federal Government – Gone Fishing States:
◦ NSW: Growth Areas/ Central Place Theory/ freight & logistics◦ WA: No growth boundaries/ new Activity Centre Guidelines
require employment and mixed use/ Central Place Theory/ Corridor requirements
◦ VIC: UGB/ Main St based Central Place/ Employment Land designation/ freight & logistics
◦ QLD: Urban footprint/ Main St based Central Place/ Freight & Logistics/ New Towns (e.g. Springfield)
All ‘place’ based not required to achieve outcomes except WA.
