ÈÈ Development will establish and/or rehabilitate a fauna corridor linking remnant vegetation in the Plunkett Conservation Park in the east and the Birnam Range west of the UDA, providing movement opportunities and habitat for a number of species, in particular the koala. ÈÈ Buildings and other development respond positively to the key environmental issues of climate change, healthy waterways and waste management and take advantage of attractive views and vistas. ÈÈ Utilities and services are provided in an efficient and environmentally sustainable manner in accordance with industry best practice. Map 2 - Vision is indicative only. Details of development, including greenspace, will be resolved through development applications and context planning.
