A vision for the precinct

Surrounded by the new Don River Mouth, this industrial quay will be transformed into a remarkable new Villiers Island community. With a pivotal location as the gateway to the Port Lands, the Precinct will become significant as a regional destination and distinct as a sustainable community, surrounded by four unique water side edges.

Key guiding principles

  • Animate and activate the water’s edges
  • Create a diversity of open spaces and waterside parks
  • Provide for a catalytic opportunity which reinforces the island as a regional

destination

  • Reinforce the island as a gateway to the Waterfront, Lower Don Lands and Port

Lands

  • Celebrate the area’s industrial heritage, character and legacy
  • Prioritize transit, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure to, from and on the island
  • Plan for a diverse, mixed use and inclusive community
  • Provide a variety of building forms to create an inviting public realm, and establish a

distinct skyline

  • Develop an innovative model for a sustainable urban community and demonstrate

excellence in community design

  • Ensure that the precinct plan is viable and implementable from an economic and city

wide perspective

Draft evaluation criteria

45

Precinct design maximizes potential for vital, animated place-making and distinct experiences within the Island and along the water’s edge Streets and blocks pattern is based on a fine-grained network to maximize pedestrian permeability Precinct design maximizes quantity and quality of view corridors and minimizes physical and visual barriers to the water’s edge Catalytic Use location showcases the Precinct’s key features & creates a cultural & tourist waterfront destination Location and design of primary retail creates an excellent walking and shopping experience Open space network includes a variety of scales and types of spaces at the local, city and regional scale Precinct design celebrates and responds to the Island’s heritage assets Framework is developable and will best leverage public and private investment Framework is implementable in terms of phasing and infrastructure
