6. PRIORITY PROJECTS
FUTURE GUIDANCE AND CHECKLIST FOR SHANDON STREET It is proposed that a comprehensive and site specific set of guidance for the future introduction of wayfinding, street furniture, lighting and heritage trail signage within the area building upon general guidance strategies for Shandon. It will be appropriate to use the Historic Character Assessment document to help determine fixtures and fittings appropriate to the Street. The strategy will include the following: • A restrained palette of materials for any new seating, bollards, railings, pole lighting. • Pavement, or wall-mounted signs relaying the history of the area, including the social and industrial history. • Street and laneway signage • Wayfinding markets This will form a checklist that should be considered for any interventions along the street and be developed alongside measures to enhance property frontages along the street, which will include: • Repair and restoration of historic shop fronts • Supporting building owners and providing guidance for replacing plastic and metal panel shop signage with more appropriate signage • Removal of satellites and advertisement from building fronts • Developing a colour palette and supporting building owners in redecorating building fronts • Supporting building owners in replacing PVC windows and rainwater goods with cast iron or aluminium goods • Supporting business owners with providing outdoor dining areas, and providing guidance on appropriate materials and management strategies
