  • 2Section 2 Issues
    Section 2 Issues This section summarises the current issues facing the South West Local Area and provides directions to inform the LAP. 2 38 South West Local Area - Issues Paper Section 2 Liveable The Community Plan vision for 'Liveable' is: . A city that is well planned, attractive and sustainable; a city that provides affordable, attractive and sustainable housing; a city with high quality community assets; a city that protects and promotes its history and identity. 2.1.1 Current Urban form Urban form refers to the way the local area looks and feels. It includes dwelling types and their age, building height, the concentration of dwellings in a given area (or ‘density’), and the public domain areas including footpaths, roads, parks and plazas. Urban form also refers to how these elements integrate with natural features of the local area such as topography, bushlands and the areas around the Georges River and its tributaries. The existing urban form in the three local area centres – Panania, Panania Top of the Hill and East Hills – and the neighbourhood areas is discussed below. The role of the centres in Bankstown City has been previously identified in Council’s Residential Development Strategy as follows: Panania - Small Village Centre – this centre captures land within 400m of Panania Station. Panania Top of the Hill – Neighbourhood Centre - this centre captures land within 150m of the middle of the mainstreet. East Hills - Neighbourhood Centre – this centres capture land within 150m of the East Hills Railway Station. Panania Small Village Centre The Panania centre has main street activity on both sides of the Panania railway station which vary in character and size as follows: South West Local Area - Issues Paper 39 Figure 9: Centres Context Map – Panania and Panania Top of the Hill Source: BCC, 2013 40 South West Local Area - Issues Paper Section 2 Panania Centre South (From Panania Railway Station to Tower Street).
