Environment covers all aspects of the City’s external environment, conservation areas, listed buildings, areas of high townscape value, parks, open spaces and watercourses. In order to reflect adequately all aspects of the City’s environment, this section of the Plan deals separately with Built Heritage, Natural Heritage and Vacant Land. Urban Design ties together all aspects of the urban fabric and offers the context to link them with the natural environment. High quality, sustainability and designing for people underpin the aims of this section of the Plan. Council approved Landscape, Built Heritage and Urban Design Strategies also complement this section of the Plan.
