Introduction and Background 1.1 Introduction The Steward Avenue Local Area Plan has been prepared by Matt and Phil Consulting on behalf of the Steward Avenue Precinct Group. The plan is a high-level strategy document and has been arranged around the following four themes: 1. Land Use 2. Public Space 3. Access and Movement 4. Built Form Over the last 10 to 15 years the West end of Newcastle has come under increasing attention in regards to redevelopment. Over the last few years there has been little to no major developments in the West end of Newcastle. There has become something of a stalemate in regards to development in this area, as the lack of any long term strategy has provided a confusing situation for all parties involved.

Planning has developed over decades, and with each development, new intentions and visions for plans have arose. This essay will attempt to compare two plans for the city of Manchester during 1945 and 2012. To achieve this, The City Of Manchester Plan 1945’ and ‘Manchester’s Core Strategy Development Plan’ will be used.
Some measures that might be taken in redevelopment in the West Trail area if one were to aim for a Rossland type restructuring would be more terracing of the landscape to level the steep grades, integrating retail in residential areas rather than concentrating it in the downtown core and Waneta and providing adequate public transit options to more areas. These adjustments would help to relieve the automotive dependency of the city, reduce accidents in the winter both vehicular and pedestrian and help create more close knit
Economically, new land expansion is always viewed as beneficial. When companies or industries look to build new factories or houses, their end goal is always to make a profit. However, individual advancement in this case has to be sacrificed for the greater good of the rest of the stakeholders. For example, mining industries and residential lots

Socially, proposal two would be beneficial, as it would allow for the development of higher-quality architectural styles of new apartments and potentially new shops with ‘modern looks’, which would be attractive for some people. In addition, it would allow for an increase in other new developments to facilitate for the increased amount of residents and therefore new recreational areas and shops for clothing, food and eating out would be established to account for the new populations able to live in Nundah as a result of the residential developments. The residential developments would accommodate for the growing population that increases by 3% per year. However, negatively proposal two is not beneficial, as the development only accounts for a wealthy businessperson demographic therefore limiting the diversity of people living in the area. The increased amount of residents in Nundah would increase traffic and congestion as a result of not having anywhere to park. Nundah would become overcrowded as a result and the cultural heritage of Nundah’s previous typical Queenslander type homes would be knocked down to make space for future development sites. In addition, the elderly populations living in Nundah may not approve of the rapid increases in populations and do not have the option or ability to live in unit style homes and will therefore be forced out of the area. Economically allowing high-rise development is beneficial as it boosts the local economy, as new businesses would be established and surrounding already established businesses would gain more foot traffic due to increased population densities, which would therefore increase the amount of profit being made. In addition, more employment opportunities would become available, as new businesses would open. The price of properties will rise as a result of the
It is important to acknowledge that high quality of life is produced through more than just a burgeoning revenue. It is achieved by creating a dynamic network and a welcoming community.
