2.2 Key Design Guidelines Diverse Play Opportunities should be planned within a local neighbourhood with the following considerations: 1 Ensure that diverse play opportunities are located throughout the neighbourhood within a 200-400m (5 minute) walking radius to all apartments. Refer to Table 1 on page 38 and Diagram 16. Provide higher concentrations of play opportunities where residential densities are higher. 2 Integrate local play spaces in pocket parks and on no-through-traffic ‘streets’ within Master Planned Precincts, to ensure a clear separation of playing children and vehicles. Locate larger play spaces adjacent to facilities which are frequented by children such as 3
