Big news! The Central Coast Regional Plan 2041 in #NSW #Australia has been approved by the Minister, one of two new game-changing regional plans I helped write. A LOT of new things never tried before! For example, for the 1st time, we applied the “15-minute city” concept to 7 different regional contexts, & prioritized real-life follow-thru including OPTIMUM (not minimum) density targets; mandated neighbourhood mixed-use; and strategies for multi-modal transportation for EACH of 7 contexts.

@BrentToderian this is awesome and should be applied everywhere!

@BrentToderian This is great! What are your thoughts about the plan for mixed-use i.e., what would be the goal for the composition of each category of use such as residential, retail, (maybe) commercial, public space, community space?

Was thinking: We may have some variation in building requirements come 2040 - are there any assumptions made about what the typical type and size of dwelling might be by then??

@BrentToderian Thank you Brent, for sharing this. My students will develop ideas on how to combine the central place concept with the 15min city in the seminar tomorrow. I like the distinction between 15min neighbourhood, 30min centre and 90min region. Very helpful for tomorrow's exercise!

@BrentToderian very interested in the concept of optimal density - minimum density is a bar that developers have to meet, what happens with applications that are sub-optimal?

@BrentToderian That’s awesome and right in my backyard. Do you have a link to more info?

@BrentToderian never heard of 90 minute regions or 30 minute strategic centres. Interested to learn more about that.

@BrentToderian

So we are now building apartments in the potholed roads to fill them in?

This looks really interesting. Here in Perth (WA), state and local gov are currently considering how to rezone the Roe8/9 Hwy corridor. Our community successfully lobbied, protested (and got arrested) to stop a proposed highway through our suburbs and remnant urban bush and wetlands. The 2017 state election was won on the back of this protest.
Now we are lobbying - and writing submissions - for re zoning and land tenure options that would allow precisely this type of planning.
Any advice? Would you be interested/available in consulting - at state, local or grassroots level?

@BrentToderian Our regional plan says the same thing, yet nothing ever changes in actual planning, zoning, or building. Do you know of a regional plan that actually came true?
