Biodiversity conservation  Biodiversity mitigation measures in line with the biodiversity action plan to restore and enhance the local environment and its ecology. Steps include re-establishment and diversification of flora as well as conservation and creation of wildlife habitat  Extensive provision of green spaces covering 30% of site area in the form of parks, playgrounds, lakes and community food gardens; trees shading > 60% of hardscape area and > 40% of green space; lakes, rain gardens, wetlands and swales covering 11% of open space  Water sensitive urban design principles adopted where stormwater is managed in the landscape design  Soil bioengineering implemented to stabilise lake banks using vegetative materials  Native water cleansing plants installed to purify and filter stormwater run-off  Light pollution prevented by fully shielded lamps for street and park lighting 2. Community Planning & Design  Green awareness – site wide identification signages for trees and crops in community food gardens; provision of bird feeders; educational signages on green features built into the township  Accessible lake edge design allows close contact with water due to its seasonal flexibility in responding to changing water levels  Universal design at all public areas allows accessibility to both people with and without disabilities  Masterplan designed with CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles to enhance safety 3. Water Conservation  Lakes, raingardens and wetlands serving as storm-water retention bodies also provide all water used for landscape irrigation as well as for construction activities. Weirs across lakes ensure that there is water available at all times 4. Resource conservation  Community based recycling actively encouraged with management organised campaigns  Shaded dedicated pedestrian and cycling networks provide site linkages to reduce travel by car. Facilities include bicycle parking at communal hubs and closely spaced pavilions providing shelter and rest-stops  Use of low impact regional and recycled content building materials for the public buildings and structure  Excavated rocks used as sculptures in parks and as lake weirs  Compost from landscape waste provides organic fertiliser
