(a)  to ensure that Part 3 (Master Plan of the Bonnyrigg Town Centre) of Fairfield Development Control Plan No 28—Bonnyrigg Town Centre (as adopted by the Council on 24 February 2004) (the Town Centre DCP) is considered by the consent authority before consent is granted to proposed development,
(b)  to create a clearly defined urban structure for the Town Centre that is sympathetic to the scale and appearance of surrounding areas, integrating the existing public housing estate with surrounding residential areas and featuring clearly defined entrance points to the Town Centre,
(c)  to allow for a mix of integrated land uses and activities that support the retail, commercial, cultural and social vitality and viability of the Town Centre,
(d)  to restore the natural setting of Clear Paddock Creek and establish a vegetated riparian corridor along either side of that creek and an off-line stormwater treatment system, promoting opportunities for sustainable biodiversity and biological linkages between areas of remnant native vegetation,
(e)  to enhance the use and enjoyment of urban spaces and restored open space areas in the Town Centre through landscape design measures,
(f)  to minimise the potential impacts of flooding, urban waste and stormwater on the Town Centre and surrounding neighbourhoods,
(g)  to create a distinctive landscape character that enhances the image of the Town Centre, incorporating connections to public gathering places in Clear Paddock Creek Park and opportunities for focal points through landscape design, and highlighting the culture of the local community,
(h)  to promote opportunities for infill development, ensuring that the form, appearance, size and placement of any such development helps to enhance the character of the Town Centre and emphasise the distinctiveness of local cultural environments,
(i)  to enhance vehicular access and linkages within, and to and from, the Town Centre,
(j)  to increase opportunities for the provision of, and access to and from, public transport,
(k)  to improve access within, and to and from, the Town Centre for people with disabilities,
(l)  to improve pedestrian access and amenity within, and to and from, the Town Centre,
(m)  to create a pedestrian and cycleway network that:

(ii)  minimises any potential impact on the natural environment by locating primary pedestrian pathways away from the proposed (or, after its establishment, the existing) vegetated riparian corridor along either side of Clear Paddock Creek and away from areas of remnant native vegetation,
(n)  to provide sufficient parking, and servicing access, to customers of the Town Centre, ensuring that parking and service areas are accessible to users and managed effectively,
(o)  to allow development that incorporates a variety of housing, increasing housing choice and flexibility, to accommodate a range of income groups and encourage social diversity.
