1. Restore the 5 meter wide setback from Cowell Street to ensure deep soil planting and a green wall along this boundary
2. Pedestrian footpath along the western side of Flagstaff Street
3. Heritage-listed cottage at 10 Cowell Street incorporated, not demolished
4. Design with high architectural values
5. Start by building a new underground car park so all the access issues are addressed and the overall bulk and scale of the building is reduced
6. Give back to the community –  publicly accessible space and community amenities.

You can read HHT’s full letter to Council here.

A good example of how a large development can integrate public and private space and create a fine landscaped public area can be seen at the new Central Square in Broadway
