Urban Design Strategy
We adopted our Urban Design Strategy (PDF 14.4 MB) in June 2011.
Due to its inner-city location, Yarra experiences significant pressure for redevelopment and land use change. The purpose of the Urban Design Strategy is to promote good design outcomes that contribute to a coherent and appealing urban environment and encourage continuity, growth and change. It is designed is a guide for planners, designers and decision-makers to help improve Yarra's urban design in a dynamic, ever-changing urban environment.
Future developments in Yarra
The Urban Design Strategy also acknowledges that future developments in Yarra will need to achieve better environmental outcomes. Good urban design should ensure Yarra is an attractive and interesting place for tourists to visit and residents and businesses to locate.
The Urban Design Strategy recognises that the need to achieve good design outcomes at an individual site level should be balanced with a greater focus on collectively improving the quality of urban design across Yarra.
