An outdoor retail precinct could be established around this
new brand, that would initially run from the site, down to the edge of given
terrace. A logical boundary due to a convergence of access and because the last
building at the round-about used to be the power station for the old tram
depot. But, because this is merely a branding and identity exercise, and keeping
with our themes of preservation and retrofitting, future expansion in either
direction would be relatively cheap.
Thickening the landscaping and reclaiming the street parking
will create a more integrated shared traffic and pedestrian zone.
Due high accessibility in public transport between nodal
points throughout the city, the lowered reliance on cars can justify reclaiming
the street parking along Latrobe. However, there is a difference between
lowering reliance and discarding them completely. Aside from the addition of
bike stalls, the carpark of Paddington central will remain.
