# SLL2.1d Compact & walkable neighbourhoods - Proximity to services & amenities (Community Centres)
# Applies to
All subdivisions
# Objective
To create compact neighbourhoods that are oriented around easy walking distances to activity centres, schools and community facilities, public open space and public transport.
To allow easy movement through and between neighbourhoods for all people.
# Summary
Better practice is awarded where at least 95% of dwellings are within 1km of a community centre, measured in a straight line (‘as the crow flies’). In low-density areas, an alternative approach may be accepted if it aligns with the intent of the standard.
# Documentation & evidence required
- Subdivision Design Response: Catchment areas for Community Centres marked on plans. Annotation to plans to calculate % of dwelllings within catchment area
