Ask Yourself: Where will your children live?
Without a diverse choice of housing in
Why This Is A Key Focus Area
- Bayswater lacks housing choices as outlined in the City of Bayswater Local Housing Strategy 2012
- Millennials, Baby Boomers and Empty Nesters have very few housing options
- Ask yourself: where will your children live?
- Mixed use development provides safety after hours through passive surveillance
- Mixed use development provides a mix of ages within the centre of the community
- Allows for aging in place
- Future proofing your local suburb
Tools We Need To Support This Key Focus Area
- Planning documents that encourage mixed uses
- Planning documents that support a Future Vision
- Design Guidelines
- Design Advisory Commitee
- Robust planning documents
Future Bayswater: Future Vision
What is wanted? A livable, vibrant and connected Town Centre.
Why? To become a "go-to" destination rather than a place to "go through" in desperation.
How to do this? By supporting a comprehensive Future Vision via an Activity Centre Plan.
Why Bayswater? It's a strategic inner urban hub that hasn't realised its full potential ... yet.
