3.14.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORT
The Structure Plan area currently has access to the 311 bus service which runs on Great Northern Highway adjacent to the Structure Plan area. The 311 provides six bus services each way on weekdays and two on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. It is also notated that the BTLUMP envisages a bus depot within the DAC or surrounds.
The Structure Plan design allows for bus services on all of the proposed Neighbourhood Connector and Integrator B roads, which are a suitable standard to accommodate bus services.
This allows flexibility for the Public Transport Authority to plan future bus routes within this area.
3.14.5 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE
In accordance with the requirements of Liveable Neighbourhoods, paths are to be provided to both sides of all Integrator B and Neighbourhood Connector roads, with at least one side being a shared path.
All Access Streets are to have a shared path or footpath on at least one side of the carriageway subject to local demand.
3.14.6 INTEGRATION WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA
The BTLUMP provides an overall plan to ensure coordination of future development of the Structure Plan area, adjoining landholding and wider Bullsbrook townsite. The proposed Structure Plan respects and reflects the principles and external connections of the BTLUMP to ensure that good connectivity and integration with the surrounding area are achieved.

3.15.2 LINEAR OPEN SPACE NETWORK
In order to address the requirements of retaining site topography and the principles of protecting existing trees and ecological linkages where possible, the Structure Plan has incorporated a series of linear open spaces.
The design intent of these spaces is to rehabilitate existing vegetation as well as incorporate existing stands of isolated trees and drainage alignments. Through respecting the existing topography in these areas, the linear POS will provide a necessary drainage function as well as provide visual amenity to the public realm.
As surrounding lots and roads required imported fill to ensure suitable structural conditions for housing, these linear parks will sit at a lower grade. This will ensure that drainage will flow towards these areas and discrete bio-filtration and detention basins will be incorporated along the length of the linear parks. A system of inlet and overflow structures will ensure designated parkland areas are kept dry and usable.
Linear parks and widened road reserves, as well as serving environmental and drainage function, also provide an efficient means of supporting a legible cycle and pedestrian network. This network will be designed to encourage passive surveillance from overlooking residents in accordance with Liveable Neighbourhoods and best practice in terms of
‘Designing out Crime’.
3.15.3 LIVING STREAMS
Due to the requirement to convey stormwater reliably away from high use areas; a system of shallow ‘living streams’ will be created in the larger POS areas, broader sections of linear parkland and widened road reserves. This system will see to mimic pre-development flows and enable upstream bio- filtration and recharge of the groundwater table.
Through the linear parks the living stream may include an interface with a dual use path (DUP). There will be native shrub planting on the banks and nature reed/sedge planting to enhance nutrient uptake. Bank stabilisation is to be incorporated into the design and a variety of tree species will be used to provide a diverse tree canopy. Treatment along the length of the stream will be dependent upon the width of the corridor and the engineering constraints. The living stream will provide not only a viable drainage function but also a variety of ecological zones and restoration opportunities.
3.15.4 KI-IT MONGER BROOK
The Ki-it Monger Brook provides a valuable natural landscape resource that contains existing remnant vegetation along a natural drainage corridor. Existing remnant vegetation is in a degraded state, however rehabilitation works will be undertaken interlaced with passive recreation opportunities through walking trails and formalised parkland nodes.
The interface area with the Ki-It Monger Brook will consist of rehabilitated endemic planting interlaced with passive recreation opportunities through walking trails and formalised parkland nodes. These nodes will form Neighbourhood POS and provide settings for picnics and informal gatherings as well as opportunities to incorporate nature play areas.
Supplemental planting adjacent to the Ki-it Monger Brook will limit direct public access and where possible an informal dual use path system may extend along the length of the interface area to define public use and to discourage turf and weed encroachment. It is not proposed that any drainage be introduced into the interface areas beyond that required to maintain pre-development flows.
3.15.5 DISTRICT OPEN SPACE (PLAYING FIELDS)
A District Open Space or ‘playing fields’ is proposed in the southwest of the Structure Plan area. It is proposed that a portion of the District Open Space be accommodated on the adjacent landholding to the south.The District Open Space serves a critical role in retaining vegetation and providing large open turfed spaces capable of servicing a diverse range of passive and recreational activities.
This large open space serves as a landmark or destination for residents and community groups as they provide amenities such as large kick about areas, shelters, BBQ facilities, nature play and exercise nodes. The landscape treatment of these spaces will be more formalised in nature with the provision of distinct active and passive zones. Perimeter planting is proposed to allow for a visual buffer between road and path networks.
With respect to the playing fields, these are proposed to be located adjacent to the primary school and District Activity Centre, representing an opportunity to co-locate these significant amenities. Due to its potential in servicing the proposed school as well as providing for seasonal sporting activities and everyday recreational uses, areas may be set aside for multipurpose fields, hard courts, potential amenity

block, car parking and a grandstand for spectators. Another important aspect of District Open Space is its critical role as a drainage area during significant stormwater and flooding events. The playing field’s capacity for organised sporting and district scale community events will contribute towards nurturing social interaction and promoting local fabric within the community. All facilities require confirmation of funding through the development contribution scheme.
