DESIGN INTENT - LOFTUS STREET Concord Oval The proposed building addresses Loftus Street. An entry plaza is located on the St Lukes Park Bus Depot corner of Gipps and Loftus Street. Protection of the heritage fig trees is important factor in the design of the entry plaza. The plaza will serve as a central plaza to the

Parramatta Road sports and recreation ground while also acting as the primary pedestrian entry to Footbridge concord Oval. This entry point links the other sports grounds in the precinct through the existing pedestrian bridge over Gipps Street. Western Grandstand A smaller upper plaza, accessed via Gipps Street and the entry plaza will allow spectators to oversee the field due to its elevated position. Universal access will be provided to connect entry and upper plaza. The upper plaza is a generous size Loftus Street providing an opportunity for outdoor cafe seating with northern sun. An informal play space is located near the cafe in the lower entry plaza.

The vehicle access for carpark will be off Gipps Street to minimise potential traffic impacts on Loftus Street and the pedestrian entry plaza space.

In addition, the Implementation Plan for Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation (2016) suggests a significant population growth along Parramatta Road, particularly adjoining Concord Oval. Therefore, the character of Concord Oval should be considered to accommodate the future developments.

The follow characters have been identified:

• Key part of wider precincts in City of Canada Bay • Sport focus • Publicly accessible and community focus • Linkage between foreshore and Burwood District Centre • Linked to its creek. The Ponds Seating Wall Docklands City Park Playground & Lighting Design
