Streetscape design
The first section of this chapter of the superseded Centres Detail Design Manual details the citywide streetscape hierarchy. The hierarchy of streetscape types addresses predominant land use type and anticipated pedestrian usage. Typical layout considerations and illustrations of each streetscape hierarchy type are provided.
The second section provides guidance on elements (street tree planting, awnings, footway dining and public art) and materials (paving and street furniture) for footway upgrades.
Citywide streetscape hierarchy
To ensure that the city has footways that service land use and pedestrian movement, a citywide streetscape hierarchy has been developed.
The Centres Detail Design Manual provides the detailed guidance for this hierarchy, which includes the following street types:
- subtropical boulevards
- city streets
- neighbourhood streets
- industrial streets.
