5.5.4 StreetscapeThe streetscape is perhaps one of the most important elements in a localcommunity. Its presentation will determine the amount of community pride, providevisitors with their first impression and possibly impact on property values. Anumber of components make up the streetscape including street and footpathcolour and width, kerbs (or lack of), traffic calming devices, drainageinfrastructure, powerlines and vegetation. It is important that these are treatedsensitively to enable them to blend into the environment with as little intrusion aspossible. This can be achieved to some degree by use of coloured pavements,traffic calming (refer Section 5.6.1), unobtrusive and integrated drainage,edge/kerb treatments, landscaping and sensitive utility provision.Guideline P4:Continue to provide non-urban streetscapes that blendinto the local environment with minimal impact(Engineering).Guideline P5:Parking areas in community focus areas includingaround schools, churches, shops, and the Post Officeto be paved in red/brown asphalt as and when resurfacingis required (Engineering).Guideline P6: Footpaths and dual use paths to be paved in red /brown asphalt (Engineering).Guideline P7:The provision of drainage to comply with Council’surban drainage strategy where possible to minimisethe impact of typical urban street appearances(Engineering).Guideline P8:Western Power to continue to provide replacementpower poles in plantation timber.
