Commercial Urban Design

The commercial Urban Design of White Bay embodies a myriad of shops and amenities that provide business for various labourers while also providing the public with an accessible, and feasible variety of local facilities. This system will encapsulate a diversity of stores consisting of food, technology, jewellery, clothing, resturants, supermarkets in addition to many other specific goods and service providers. These local conveniences are necessary within the area and attracts numerous homebuyers while subsequently providing amenities to potential consumers. In conjunction with these are the essential facilities including hospitals and specialised medical centres. The application of these vital institutions will provide a sense of security amongst inhabitants of the White Bay region. Surrounded by the Sydney CBD, White Bay offers an unsurpassed locational advantage, with ease of accessibility to a limitless range of shops and amenities. These shops and amenities are imperative to the functioning of society through a mutually beneficial system by providing income to workers (consequently aiding the economy) while also providing a centre for goods and services for potential consumers. These shops will be split into separate divisions on basis of the type of shop and the pricing of the goods. This can be seen through the seclusion of jewellery shops from supermarkets to allow consumers to recognise the positioning of shops without difficulty. In conjunction with this, a library will be implemented on the ground level within the domain. It will be enable for foreshore access as well as having the availability of an underground parking system as well as bus links. In this development a library will provide an unrestricted source of literature as well as technology in a quiet and effective learning environment. These shops and facilities will also contain an unhindered access to those with disabilities and of old age; Through this, ramps, escalators and elevators will be implemented where necessary. This system will be effectively implemented with a small shopping complex which will embody access to both a range of shopping facilities as well as entertainment. In addition to this shopping centres are advantageous as they also offer space-saving opportunities (when juxtaposed to a normal setup) as well as an increased availability of parking. This shopping village will be integral to the precinct and will be placed in prime location within walking distance of the train station and ferry links. In conjunction with this, the precinct will be lined with shops at the bottom of mos medium rise buildings, thereby increasing the accessibility of shops throughout the area. White Bay will successfully integrate this small shopping system into the white bay domain, allowing for the creation of an exclusive, economically applicable urban design.
