Waterfront Network
Central Spine
Waterfront Plaza Leveraging Tivoli’s unique waterfront and the proposed central park open space, the waterfront plaza is the centre-piece of public realm development across the scheme. Riverfront Park A series of public parklands are located along the river corridor, benefiting from the south-facing aspect and the passive surveillance of surround residential neighbourhoods and local retail. Residential Square Intimate spaces are proposed at key residential junctures along the waterfront, presenting recreation spaces, small lawns for relaxing and nodes of seating for local residents to meet.
Tivoli Central Park Forming the largest and most central node of Tivoli’s varied central open space spine, Central Park caters for a broad variety of events, sports and family occasions, all year round. Neighbourhood Plaza Three neighbourhoods are structured around central plazas, the key node to each settlement. These spaces are enveloped with mixed- use edges, hosting performances and public life. Home Recreation Along the central open space corridor of Tivoli, small nodes of open space are designed specifically for the recreation and enjoyment of local residents and their families.

10.166 The Tivoli UDBHS provides a guide for substantial infrastructural investment required to deliver regeneration over the longer term. It considers social, human and environmental impacts of higher density and tall buildings. Visual impacts on the surrounding environment are assessed including internal and external views of the waterfront, Tivoli ridge and landmark buildings.
Consideration is given to how urban density and tall buildings best address the waterfront while limiting overshadowing and maximising access to daylight/ sunlight/solar energy.
