This document is a proposal from M. John Latham - Architect (Debox-Degrid Architecture) to Clarence City Council for developing a streetscape plan for Lindisfarne Village. The proposal outlines a process that includes gathering design information through stakeholder consultation, developing a framework plan, and producing background and collaboration reports and a final streetscape plan. If selected, the architect would conduct research, facilitate a public forum, and work with the Council to create a plan that enhances the village's character while meeting stakeholders' needs. The proposed budget is $35,000 and the timeframe is 3 months.

Framework Plan
“He may also wonder what the Anglophile felt as
he first perused this little tree covered bay amid
the continuities with the others in this River. It
had no easy water and so they moved on, but to
revisit for a little farming a while later, taming
just a bit the virile complexion of she-oaks, gums
and tussocks protected by their hills and frugally
nourished soil. As a fringe aspect of the English
town of Hobarton it grew and became a stop for a
ferry. Handy to a bridge and sunny place of
congenial residence, home for some schools and
a little tranquil and warm commercial urbia
which has become just a little sidelined by a
global trending … . Will it grasp its special
residential memories to bind into public place
with the contemporary future growth to become
an enhanced asset and function for generation
Y?”

2. I N B R I E FI N B R I E F
The goal in essence is to produce a Framework Plan for a character of place for Lindisfarne
Village which is in accord with Council’s brief and Stakeholder collaborations.
To achieve the goal, firstly having greeted the key local government and local place clients,
Debox_Degrid Architecture must;
Gather DESIGN INFORMATION.
Manage LIAISON and URBAN ARCHITECTURAL TASKS.
Negotiate LOCAL INITIATIVES and RESPONSES.
Secure MUTUAL RESOURCES.
This will occur as follows …

The delivery to Clarence Council of the requested documents for an enhanced and
developed character of place for the special values of this business and community
asset of local and broader profile in the Municipality of Clarence on behalf of all its
Stakeholders;
Complete with colour illustrated framework design, justified by background and stakeholder
consultation report documents addressing issues, inspirations and realities;
Will be achieved through the following designer research and considerations.
Up-to-date Familiarity
Discussion with Council’s Planning and
Development, Community Services and
Landscape people and perusal of all
pertinent documents and in-hand
planning to achieve an up-to-date
familiarity of extant development
aspirations for the Project Place and its
City. This is to understand the context of
the future of Lindisfarne Village and the
potentials for planning, traffic, boating,
sporting, recreational, nightlife and
business developments. Organised liaison
with business stakeholders will complete
this information.
Historical and Natural Heritage
Discussion will be held with Council’s
historical and natural heritage personnel.
This is to allow intrinsic aesthetics and
iconography which highlight the special
aspects of the area and the village to be
fused with an expression of contemporary
aspiration as a firm foundation for cultural
design. The depth of considerations in
this cultural design will be balanced by
stakeholder desire and project pragmatics.
This foundation will underpin the use,
function, commodity and delight of the
village locale – including horticulture,
landscape, interpretations, the ‘nurtures
of the land and bay’ and the intrinsics of
its simple history. An assessment of any
heritage whimsically valued by local
people in particular will also be made.

4. Local Creativity and Product
Discussion with Council’s Community,
Cultural and Economic Development
personnel to optimise the eventual use of
local creativity and product by way of arts,
manufacture and creative labour. Thus to
focus on the psyche of local character and
ownership of place.
Stakeholder Collaborations
One on one discussion with each business
will be followed by a half day forum open
to all. The forum will allow the designer to
consolidate a concept which will be
circulated and discussed again on the one
on one basis.
A final concept will be posted for general
view and comments noted. Should further
design deliberation be considered
necessary and additionally funded by
Council, the liaison process would be
repeated, possibly as modified to
circumstance.
Base Plan
Council’s Engineering and Planning
personnel will be approached for offered
base plans for cadastre, topography,
roadway and development proposals and
extant urban items and places. Thus a
complete base plan can be established, for
the project area, showing all functional
and use aspects – including traffic flows,
trees, poles, signs, drains, rights-of-way,
paths, buildings, water-edge functions,
fort profiles, community uses etc.
Scale to suit an A1 format is suggested.
Urban Links and Hierarchies
All of the above will be used to attain an
understanding of preferred links and
hierarchies within the project place, its
immediate neighbouring urban realms
and activities – including the river,
bushland, recreations, sports, dalliance,
arterial traffic links, the quirks of the
street pattern and orientations, traffic and
parking, built characters and limitations,
pedestrian comfort and street-business
interface, preferred use planning, visual
character, signs, access, cycle/pedestrian
tracks, outlooks, sociological concerns
and opportunities, endemic and exotic
plantings, acknowledgements etc.
Physical, style and administrative aspects
of these links and hierarchies will be
addressed.

5. P E R S O N N E L T A S K SP E R S O N N E L T A S K S
The DESIGN INFORMATION as outlined will be used for the Architect’s purposes to
derive, report and draw-up the villagescape plan which properly satisfies the expressed
values of the Council in conjunction with local Businesses and Services.
It is proposed for this project that best value for money can be achieved using a single urban
architecture consultant well experienced in such work and supported by limited information
and discussion with council’s in-house expertise. It is of value, in eventual implementations
and liaisons, for the Council staff to have this involvement. It will facilitate a cultural link
between the implementers, the place and its people.
It is proposed that Artist involvement be allowed for in the plan and programmed for
optimum advantage of Australia Council and other government support. This will promote
use of local artists, community participation, full artist research as to best imagery and/or
expression.
M. John Latham – architect will be the sole contractor potentially calling on landscape,
historical, horticultural advice as necessary.
BACKGROUND REPORT
This report will show the sources and
justification for the outcomes presented in
the FRAMEWORK PLAN - Villagescape
Plan. It will outline an encapsulation of
the entire process and outcome. Subject
to negotiation it will contain a scale-
reduced Villagescape Plan.
The report will be furbished as a
community user-friendly document and to
suit administrative requirements, with
links to other documents, information and
sources.
It will be A4 portrait format. Nominally 20
- 30 pages. 3 copies will be provided.
COLLABORATION REPORT
This report will be a matter-of-fact record
of the liaisons, showing issues and desires

6. raised by stakeholders and the
information and matters put to them.
It will outline the project evolution with
regard to the liaisons.
The report will be furbished as a
community user-friendly document and to
suit administrative requirements.
It will be A4 portrait format. Nominally 20
pages. 3 copies will be provided.
Villagescape Plan
This hard-copy plan will consist of clearly
delineated renovation (including additions)
on the base plan. Within an overall
enhancement and noted conservations on
this plan, specific elements and places will
be specified in such a way as to enable
straight-forward capital-works
implementations.
All aspects of the projected possible
capital works and planning guidelines will
be shown on this plan.
Sketch Detail;
Explanatory detail by notes and sketches
will be provided, in conjunction with the
over-all plan, of light standards, seats,
paving, special constructions, toilets,
vegetation, plantings, artworks, future
collaborations, heritage interpretations,
cycleway etc
This will be presented integrally with the
main plan; or optionally as an A4 format
in association with the BACKGROUND
REPORT.
All designs Artist parameters will be
coordinated by the architect.
COUNCIL PRESENTATION
An agreed form of presentation such as Power Point
will be mad to council as required.
COLLABORATION
It is envisaged that the agenda for
collaboration will be developed in liaison
with Council’s Project Manager. Some
issues and concerns may have already
been established through Councils
administrations. These though will be
conveyed as forum information.
Additional issues and concerns,
particularly those arising from new
suggestions and ideas, will be sought and
resolved during and following the forum.
This will involve sketching over a base
plan.
Some of the matters to be submitted
firstly for Forum discussion are;
What are the motives for urban
renovation?
What can be encouraged and what can be
discouraged?
Trendy glitz or down home character?

7. How do the surrounding community uses
fit into plans?
What business uses can be encouraged?
What is needed?
FORUM RESOURCES
CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL - Under this
project bid it is recommended that
the Council arrange and equip a
Forum Venue in or near the
Project Area. In addition it is
recommended the Council provide
advertising for the event. Also the
Council or community may
suggest specific invitees to
enhance the workshopping with
local commentators.
It may be deemed necessary to engage
such as the Farley Consulting Group to
facilitate the forum(s) subject to
anticipation of any hard-going. Such
facilitation is not nominated as a fait-
accomplit as it may well be an
unnecessary luxury; the money being
better put into design and presentation.
