This preliminary possibility is premised on a longer term outcome and to show what an alternative, village focussed urban form would mean for Willetton. Sporting Precinct • An alternative movement and circulation system that provides additional car parking and allows retention of more tennis courts. • The skate park is relocated central to the precinct, allowing more parking south of the Basketball Stadium, and giving it higher exposure, which assists in providing passive surveillance. • An adventure playground in the north east corner of the sports precinct, adjacent the water retention basin. • Expansion of the Basketball Stadium to the south and east, accommodating more covered courts and improved change room facilities. • Additional shade and barbecue areas throughout the sporting precinct. Civic Precinct • The childcare centre is retained in its current location. • The library and infant health centre are relocated into an integrated town centre development. • A new outdoor public events stage. Shopping Precinct • Long term redevelopment opportunities, focusing around an activated ‘urban green’, functioning like a high street. Restaurants, shops and commercial space will engage at ground level with the urban green. Substantial alfresco dining and passive recreation opportunities throughout. • A new civic plaza interfaced by a new library and civic facility. • Mixed use development with interconnected street network. • Car parking is contained either below ground or internal to each development. • Residential or aged care apartments are integrated above commercial shops, restaurants and offices. Boulevards and Open Space • Improved street planting to announce arrival into Willetton’s centre. • Dedicated pedestrian crossing points connecting the sporting, shopping and education precincts.
