• Boosting innovation and creative industries alongside knowledge-intensive jobs growth
• Stimulating the night-time economy within a responsive regulatory environment
• Protecting international trade and freight routes
• Retaining industrial and urban services land
• Nurturing quality lifestyles through well-designed housing in neighbourhoods close to transport and other infrastructure
• Sustaining communities through vibrant public places, walking and cycling, and cultural, artistic and tourism assets
• Aligning growth with infrastructure, including transport, social and green infrastructure, and delivering sustainable, smart and adaptable solutions
• Being innovative in providing recreational and open space areas, and increasing urban tree canopy
• Transitioning to a low-carbon, high-efficiency District through precinct-scale initiatives
• Building effective responses to climate change and natural and urban hazards.
