Policies and initiatives > Direction 1. A more compact city

1.1 Build up activity centres as a focus for high-quality development, activity and living for the whole community

1.2 Broaden the base of activity in centres that are currently dominated by shopping to include a wider range of services over longer hours, and restrict out-of-centre development

1.3 Locate a substantial proportion of new housing in or close to activity centres and other strategic redevelopment sites that offer good access to services and transport
