Streets are the building blocks for all communities and contribute to a “sense of place”, thereby making places memorable. People meet their neighbours in the streets and congregate in them as part of their social activities. Buildings face streets, define their edges and encourage interaction with passing foot traffic,” he said.
The Ponds is located on a relatively flat site with moderately sloping topography straddling both sides of Second Ponds Creek. A regenerated creek system runs down the spine of the development and all major streets offer views towards this creek and parklands system. This enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area and links the residential streets with the natural environment.
The Ponds road grid provides a legible connected road network as well as multiple routes to access popular areas within the suburb. Internal residential streets have been designed to slow traffic speeds and create tranquil walkable streets.
