What is the context for this project?
This project has been initiated to develop a strategic direction for the Crafers Mainstreet and key sites within the village. In particular, the project hopes to unpack the following:
Why is the project important?
- The project seeks to deliver a comprehensive urban design guideline and a key site feasibility analysis developed in collaboration with landowners, businesses and investors that: protects the character of Crafers (Local Centre and surrounds), promotes good planning & design outcomes, provides guidance for new development opportunities in the village in an integrated & coordinated manner, and activates public areas and maximises the potential use of public spaces.
- In respect to the ongoing planning reform process initiated under the PDI Act 2016, the significance and timing of the Crafers Village Design Guidelines is considered advantageous. It is envisaged that this document will provide a strong platform for Council to advocate for the nuanced policy directions for Crafers in the Planning and Design Code to help protect the village character. In addition, there is also scope to propose that the final Design Guidelines be formally incorporated into the Planning and Design Code as a Design Standard.
What will the Crafers Village Design Guidelines deliver?
The guidelines will deliver an accessible design framework and design guidelines document that will consist of a mix
of written content, photos, graphic analysis, sketches and rendered images. This will make it easy for users to
interpret design concepts.
Will there be any impact to Traders?
The Crafers Village Design Guidelines is a conceptual project and will not directly impact upon the normal day to
day activities of businesses within the Crafers main street and surrounds.
Why should I have my say?
Your feedback is important and will help guide what gets built, how spaces are used and how you get around the
main street. It’s important you take the
opportunity to provide your feedback so we can create the best Crafers Village Design Guidelines fit for the
future.
