3.0 Connec� vity and Walkability
A series of ‘Green Corridors’ that makes walking and cycling pleasurable will be created throughout the development. This will be underpinned by an integrated network of footpaths and shared recrea� onal paths, allowing for a 10 minute walking � me between home, open space and neighbourhood reserves.
The integrated network will explore poten� al future connec� ons beyond the development to Palmerston Town Centre and Darwin. Access to public transport and the promo� on of “walkability of the development” will be incorporated.
Paths will be constructed of varying materials and designed to widths to suit a variety of uses. Paths will be lit where prac� cable and comply with all relevant codes and standards. Paths will, where prac� cable incorporate best prac� ce in disabled use access. Typical shared recrea� onal path to be 2500mm wide and pedestrian foot path to be 1500mm wide. Paths will be suitably sign posted.
Typical shared recrea� onal path and pedestrian foot path fi nish to be insitu concrete pavement.

4.0 Biodiversity Corridors and Exis� ng Vegeta� on
A strong, integrated biodiversity framework will be established for local fauna and fl ora habita� on through the introduc� on of upper, mid and ground canopy corridors.
New plan� ngs of indigenous trees and shrubs to promote biodiversity corridors will create links between reserves and open spaces. Exis� ng vegeta� on will be retained where prac� cable.
Principal Corridors (Primary collector Road)Principal corridors of tree lined avenues with planted medians will be a primary feature of green corridors. Principal corridors will promote biodiversity on all upper, mid and ground levels.
Secondary CorridorsStreet tree plan� ng on both sides of streets and planted verges, incorpora� ng mid and ground canopy corridors to promote biodiversity opportuni� es.
Ter� ary CorridorsIntermi� ent street tree plan� ng and turfed verges where prac� cable.
New plan� ngs of indigenous trees and shrubs will link exis� ng areas of mature trees which are to be retained.A strong, integrated biodiversity framework will be established for local fauna and fl ora habita� on.

‘Community Heart & Village Hub’
‘Packards Knob’Regional Reserve
A generous disposi�on of regional and neighbourhood reserves with 10 minute walking distance of home. Contain a diversity of passive and ac�ve recrea�onal opportuni�es, local and regional play spaces, shared recrea�onal paths and footpaths. Themes of both indigenous and non na�ve plan�ngs offering spa�al and spiritual diversity.
A series of ‘Green Corridors’ that will make walking and cycling pleasurable, will be created through the development. An integrated network of footpaths and shared recrea�onal paths will be created, allowing for a 10 minute walking �me between, home, open space and neighbourhood reserves.
The network of pedestrian friendly tree lined streets connect reserves through ‘Green Corridors’ which encourage sustainablity, provide smarter transporta�on and higher quality of life through cycling and walking. Exis�ng trees will, where prac�cable be retained.
