Our buildings aim to be places that are welcoming to all and able to be used by people of all abilities. We aim to have:

• Inclusion, gender equity and cultural safety best practices embedded in design, creating safe, inviting and inclusive spaces.
• Design that considers First Nations heritage, culture, history, and the natural environment of the area.
• Design that creates a sense of place and belonging, and includes public art to enhance community identity, vibrancy and inclusion.
• Opportunities to come together where information is made accessible, inclusive and representative of community.
• Design that considers the broader elements of place, space and service connectivity.

Our buildings aim to be places that can adapt to our community’s needs.

• Design that encourages a place of gathering and coming together for formal and/or informal connections.
• Functional designs that maximise use and participation.
• Indoor and outdoor spaces that are well connected, there is a clear signage and way finding, and there is appropriate acoustic and lighting treatments.
• A good mix of spaces that are adaptable, flexible and can change over time.
• Design that is modest yet reflects the intended purpose for community use and community needs.

Our buildings aim to be places that will support Wyndham City’s sustainability goals and will be influenced by forward thinking and best practice. We aim to have:

• Design that considers community aspirations, needs and evidence with affordability and sustainability in the short, medium and long term.
• Design that reflects Wyndham City’s strategic directions, policy and continuous improvement opportunities.
• Design that considers funding opportunities, partnerships and ongoing operating costs.
• Design that supports sustainable communities, creative and innovative development.
• Design that is consistent with industry best practice and encourages the use of sustainable and natural materials.
