Edmondson Park South DCP 2012 November 2012 2.2 Character Areas As Edmondson Park South will create a new Town Centre and large areas of surrounding residential neighbourhoods, it is important that there is variety and choice in living and recreational environments. It is important that the streetscape and public domain reinforce the desired character for each area, to give an identity and sense of place. The character areas are identified at Figure 3 and the qualities or characteristics are defined in Table 2 below. Table 2 - Character area qualities Area Locality Characteristics Area 1 1. Town Centre core with mixed uses, apartment buildings and the key activity area within Edmondson Park South. 2.

Area 2 4. Urban, but predominately residential area surrounding the combined primary and high school and the Maxwells Creek North Riparian Corridor. Physical and visual links to the Town Centre. 5. A transition between the Town Centre and the medium to lower density residential areas to the north. Housing types reinforce the urban character and proximity to Town Centre, school and public transport. Products include small lot/attached housing. 6. Building setbacks will be used to reinforce the urban style and character of areas closer to the school and Town Centre. 7.
