Design Checklist
The design and layout of the building protects and enhances the rich ecology and habitat of the natural environment
Mixed use developments should lead to a minimal loss of ecosystems or habitat - use existing natural features as an effective way of integrat
ing the new development into the existing environment
Better Design Practice
Maintain and improve the ecology and habitat of the site by integrating these into the development. This could include:
riparian and other planting, including street trees
reducing stormwater amounts and improving stormwater quality
Using native planting where possible.
