Purpose

This area comprises two low rise apartment sites located in close proximity to the primary commercial site and the central open space. These higher density residential nodes provide a strong urban character in the centre of the overall area, and may support limited mixed use development. Residents here will support the urban village commercial in terms of both potential employees and a local consumer market.
