Greener Places Design Guide


The Draft Greener Places Design Guide was on public consultation from 25 June to 28 August. Thank you to all who have provided feedback.

The draft guide provides information on how to design, plan and implement green infrastructure in urban areas throughout NSW. It focuses on:

  • Open space for recreation:  green infrastructure for people
  • Urban tree canopy: green infrastructure for adaptation and resilience and
  • Bushland and waterways: green infrastructure for habitat and ecological health

The draft guide provides strategies, performance criteria and recommendations to assist planning authorities and design and development communities to deliver green infrastructure.

We received 110 submission providing valuable feedback on the draft guide which will be used to inform the new Design and Place SEPP being developed in 2020/1.

For more information on the draft guide, the consultation outcomes report, case studies and a webinar please visit the GANSW website.
