| NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 106 One of the aims of the UDLS is to establish a standard palette of Urban Elements and materials. These are intended as a guide to inform the intended quality and character. The materials for the public realm of the Stirling City Centre have been considered in a holistic manner in order to achieve a cohesive and consistent public realm. Materials and finishes have been chosen to reflect and support the broad identity of a city, while strengthening the individual identity of each Character Precinct. They assist in providing clear, simple, legible streets and safe, robust, high quality and unique public spaces. While the general arrangement of each street and open space typology varies, they typically have similar components. This section of the UDLS is to be used as a reference when designing Urban Elements of the Stirling City Centre. It provides a rationale and design intent to support the material selection. This section includes guidance on the following Urban Elements: ▪ Street trees; ▪ Park trees; ▪ Vegetation; ▪ Surface treatments; ▪ Street furniture; ▪ Footpath alfresco areas; ▪ Public art; and ▪ Features - playgrounds and water features.

NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 114 CONSIDERATIONS FOR TREE/ VEGETATION SELECTION A primary aim for the Stirling City Centre is to enhance biodiversity and create ecological corridors. Whilst a mix of native and exotic plants are nominated within the strategy, exotic species should be used sparingly with locally endemic and native species given priority. General considerations in selection include: ▪ Character precinct contribution; ▪ Biodiversity contribution; ▪ Irrigation needs; ▪ Soil preparation; ▪ Spatial restrictions (above and below ground); ▪ Requirements for maintaining tree health; and ▪ Contribution to minimising maintenance. Consideration should be given to the use of certain species which have known impacts that can be detrimental within an urban environment (i.e. damage to paving, infrastructure, dropping of limbs, slip hazards, allergies) if not correctly installed, maintained or managed. Species of note are as follows: Street Trees
require regular tree health checks as some species are prone to shed limbs, hence are a potential risk to public and infrastructure if not maintained well; ▪ Jacaranda mimosifolia, once mature produce large amount of flowers, which when falling can cause slip hazards, regular cleaning of walkways are required in late October to November; ▪ Platanus acerfolia, keep number of trees low as pollen can cause both physical and allergic reactions; and ▪ Agonis flexuosa is very slow growing and advanced trees need to selected for planting for impact.
Accent Trees ▪ Banksias, establishment can be difficult, plant specific soil types must be provided to promote plant establishment and growth. Banksias often fall over after two years if soils conditions are not suitable. Plant banksias in clumps of 3 to 5m apart and selecting feature trees after 2 to 3 years; and ▪ Robinia pseudoacacia, these trees form runners, root barriers are imperative if selected. Gateway Trees ▪ Ficus species have invasive root structures (which can lift concrete and potentially damage pipework etc.), root barriers should be considered to protect infrastructure; and ▪ Ongoing checks for tree health and to prune out dead wood will be required. Fruiting Trees ▪ Consider fruiting trees and their impact (e.g. fruits staining footpaths, larger fruit may cause a trip hazard, fallen fruit may attract vermin) therefore planting in wide garden beds and in areas where management responsibilities are sustainable is recommended;
adjacent garden areas and handweeding or spot spraying is required once plants start to produce fruit; and ▪ Consider planting sterile fruit trees. Urban and seasonal plantings ▪ Height restrictions (must not exceed 500mm) STIRLING CITY

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 126 High levels of amenity, accessibility and activation are critical to ensuring the Stirling City Centre becomes a highly desirable location for residents, businesses and their employees. A key contribution to achieving this will be provided by the public realm principles and strategies to achieve these outcomes and ensures public open space provision: ▪ Offers quality experiences, is visually appealing, is accessible, provides diversity of choice, is functional and appropriately located, has an appropriate amenity level; and ▪ Is sufficient to meet the end user demands and expectations relating to quality of POS and provision of various sporting, recreational and leisure amenities. This section discusses the role of the UDLS in future planning processes, and key issues to be addressed to enable the principles and strategies to be achieved. Potential short term implementation options are also included to ensure that project momentum and community confidence is built and maintained whilst the City Centre develops over the anticipated 40 to 60 year time frame.

CENTRE URBAN DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE STRATEGY REPORT 127
6.1 ROLE OF THE UDLS WITHIN FUTURE PLANNING PROCESSES Provisions for making of an Improvement Scheme are provided for in the amendment to Improvement Plan 36 which applies to the Stirling City Centre. The purpose of the Improvement Scheme as outlined in the Planning Integration Workshop 1 Agenda (Stirling Alliance 2013) is to “...enable urban renewal by applying various planning principles that, amongst other things, guide future land use development, funding arrangements and infrastructure provision in an orderly manner.” The intention of the Stirling Alliance is to revise the current Draft Structure
reflect the proposed changes to key structural elements that have arisen since its advertising in 2011. The UDLS will be a key report referenced in the revised document and will inform both the development of the Improvement Scheme and Local Development Plans (LDP’s) prepared for individual precincts. The relationship between documents is as follows:
▪ The Structure Plan will provide guidance on provisions pertaining to road reserves and Public Open Space (POS). The respective LDP’s prepared for the precincts will provide a much greater level of detail. In each case, these provisions will be guided by the UDLS; ▪ The LDP’s will be closely informed by the UDLS in respect to provisions applying to road reserve (including paving, road and footpath widths, street trees, furniture, etc) and POS (including use of parks and selection of species).; ▪ The UDLS will be a reference document in the Improvement Scheme;
▪ The Improvement Scheme will pursue developer contributions and the details will be determined in the LDPs. The UDLS will help inform this process; and ▪ The Improvement Scheme Map is expected to reflect the proposed allocation of parks and urban spaces proposed by the UDLS.
NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 128 6.2 GOVERNANCE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UDLS
The Stirling Alliance has been charged with planning the development of the Stirling City Centre as a ‘Strategic Metropolitan Centre’ however the State Government (nominally the WAPC at present) will take a lead role in implementation together with the City of Stirling (as the ultimate custodian of the City Centre), relevant state agencies, utility providers and developers. Strategies within the UDLS rely on the re-purposing of land and the co-ordination and co-operation of these groups to capitalise on the “win-win”opportunities that the UDLS presents. Key issues to overcome include: LAND ASSEMBLY ▪ Conversion of government land to public open space reserves (Linear Park, Celebration Place, Station North District Park); ▪ Acquisition of private land for public open space (Northern & Osborne Precincts) and Public Access Ways (Station, Southern Woodlands Precinct); and ▪ Consolidation of existing under- utilised parks will require existing reserves to be re-purposed (i.e. Odin, Croxton, Laga, Elton, Bajada Reserve). ASSET AND PLACE MANAGEMENT ▪ The provision and management of public and communal spaces by private sector (Town Square, Market Forecourt, Transit Square); ▪ Co-location of community facilities within private developments with ownership to be within GFA (i.e. Library/ community centre co-located with Town Square within Westfield); ▪ Co-sharing of public open space between the City of Stirling and other government departments (i.e. sporting ovals, carparking and courts); ▪ Co-sharing of resources between private and public properties (i.e. rainwater harvesting from private buildings supplying POS water features and water play); ▪ Integration of recreational and leisure activities within the urban stream floodplain and within road reserves (Linear Park); ▪ Non-standard surface treatments (i.e. LRT reserve); ▪ Augmentation of existing streetscapes within established neighbourhoods (All Precincts); and ▪ Ongoing coordination of place activation strategies & programs. Given the above issues, further studies will be required to progress individual opportunities within the UDLS as they have been formulated on the basis of varying degrees of available information, technical resolution and stakeholder input. The scope of these studies (inc. asset/risk management & delivery) can be developed following further input from the stakeholder groups and clarification as to which opportunities are likely to be supported. Central to the success of the UDLS is the ongoing synergies/communication between the City of Stirling, stakeholders, and the lead delivery agency to ensure future plans, programs and policies developed are responsive to and supportive of the UDLS as the project evolves. FUNDING Funding for the capital works (including land acquisition and seeding capital) required to implement the strategies identified will be sourced from a combination of: ▪ Council revenue. ▪ External funding and grants from other State and Federal Government agencies. ▪ Developer contributions pursued within the Stirling City Centre Improvement Scheme. ▪ Public/Private funding partnerships . Obligations of each party will be determined within future detailed implementation planning. STIRLING CITY

NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 130 6.3 STAGING The realisation of the Stirling City Centre is anticipated to occur over a 40-60 year time frame. The key catalysts for the ultimate build-out of the City Centre are driven by the provision of new access roads and the remediation of the former Hertha tip site. These are currently medium and long term propositions respectively. Stage 1 of the project will include a development of current vacant government land. Initial conceptual planning of the public realm within stage 1 has been completed and incorporates the principles and strategies outlined within this document. These conceptual plans were tabled at the Master Strategy Workshop. These plans and associated outputs from the Workshop are provided in Appendices 5, 6 and 7. CATALYST PROJECTS Short term catalyst projects which achieve short-term “wins” are important to building and maintaining community and stakeholder confidence and project momentum. These short term wins should be reflective of the project vision and where possible be used to implement some of the proposed public realm experiences, test concepts and to progress the building of the future community and forecasting future change.
The Master Strategy Workshop provided initial direction on what catalyst projects could be implemented in the short term (0-5 years), these included the following (Refer Figures 48 and 49) : ▪ Station Precinct South ▪ Stream Park-North (Sarich Court to Howe Street) ▪ Herdsman-Stirling Bike Link Further detail of these projects can be found within Appendix 7. Additional potential short term projects are provided on the following page.

6.4 TEMPORARY USES ON VACANT LAND Create a series of changing events or community facilities on vacant government owned land. URBAN FARM
Establish short term community garden on government land. Design the community garden to be mobile so it can be moved to another location in the future.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTRE
Establish a mobile Stirling City Centre redevelopment project office in a high profile location within the city heart which can act as both a sales office, as well as providing community information on the project and as a hub for community events. TEMPORARY NURSERY This nursery could be used to propagate locally endemic plant and tree species identified in the UDLS for use within the Biophilic precinct (biophilic streets, urban stream, green bridges etc). This could potentially be a community managed operation. COMMUNITY FACILITIES
These could include playgrounds, BMX park, or pop-up sea container city (e.g. Christchurch, NZ). Activation projects of this type (such as “No Vacancy” in New York) have been successfully implemented (novacancyproject.wordpress.com). NOVEMBER 2013 PLACE LABORATORY | SYRIN X ENVIRONMENTAL PL 132 DEMONSTRATION BIOPHILIC STREETS Upgrade select streets to reflect the biophilic street concept and implement monitoring programme to test the street typology’s success in improving micro- climate and ecological outcomes. Possible locations include Sarich Crt and Twyford Place. ESTABLISHING ELLEN STIRLING BOULEVARD AS AN URBAN PLACE STREET Plant Ellen Stirling Boulevard with colourful annuals, shade trees and edible plants to make it a special street that people would like to walk along. Banners and flags, catenary lighting to bring a human scale to the streets. ESTABLISH A BIKE SHARE SYSTEM Bike hubs, easy bike share and complete a fully connected temp cycle path network through the Stirling City Centre. PARTNER WITH IKEA / WESTFIELD Establish a courtesy bus from Westfield to Ikea and the train station. Free home delivery of medium and large goods if you catch the train to Ikea / Westfield Ikea partnership with Department of Housing, government and private developers to make gains in affordability of apartments. 6.5 INCREMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UDLS Demonstration projects and catalyst schemes which support the vision and enable testing ground for approaches and partnerships
