Objective 1
To protect and celebrate the existing character and identityassociated with key heritage buildings and neighbourhoods
Strategy 1.1Retain a generally low to mid rise building scale that ispunctuated by higher built form in appropriate locations.
Strategy 1.2Encourage new development to reflect and respect the builtform character present in the surrounding context (Refer toFuture Character and Building Guidelines).
Strategy 1.3Encourage new development that complements surroundingheritage buildings and areas rather than detracting from them.
Strategy 1.4Encourage new development to make a positive contribution toexisting heritage buildings and neighbourhoods.
Strategy 1.5Encourage the development of a consistent building height atthe footpath boundary and visually recessive upper levels inkey areas (Refer to Future Character and Building Guidelines).

To facilitate new, compact development in areas that arestrategically important and relatively unconstrained
Strategy 2.1Facilitate the redevelopment of buildings within the retail corethat have limited heritage value where appropriate.
Strategy 2.2Encourage the amalgamation of sites to support furtherintensification.
Strategy 2.3Encourage higher building forms along the Yarra River Corridorbetween Punt Road and Church Street to take advantage ofamenity and views.
Strategy 2.4Encourage high quality, denser built forms around t rain stationsto take advantage of transport infrastructure.

PART 4: IMPLEMENTATION
IMPLEMENTATION MODEL
Following the finalisation of the draft Structure Plan, a detailedimplementation plan will be prepared that will outline the actions requiredto realise the Structure Plan Vision on-the-ground.
The Swan Street Structure Plan will be implemented in the following ways:
x Changes to the planning scheme introducing new zones,overlays and guidelines
x Capital works projects to enhance the public realm such astraffic measures, train / tram stop improvements, streetgreening, new street furniture, etc.
x Further Strategic Workto be undertaken to provide moredetail to recommendations
x Advocacy and Negotiation between Council and otherorganisations who are directly responsible to improvements in
the study area such as Metro, Yarra Trams, DPCD, etc.The Implementation Plan will identify actions for each of these categoriesas well as who will be responsible for implementing them. It will alsoprioritise the actions so that Council and other agencies can plan for thecontinuous improvement of the Structure Plan area based on local needsand available resources.
