2.3 Intensification Principles
Combined Principles
This diagram identifies the ideal locations for intensification and built form density by overlaying the strategy’s 6 principles.
The optimum location for increasing development intensity in Bankstown is underpinned by proximity to public transport and public open space, preservation of adequate solar access to public open space, protection of important cultural destinations and heritage and suitable built form transitions to surrounding areas. Carefully managing development north of parks is important for maintaining solar access.

Where Built Form Controls Are Changing and Where They Aren’t
This diagram summarises the applied intensification principles on a block by block basis, identifying the blocks within the study area that are subject to some level of height and/or FSR intensification.
Areas closer to the future metro station will generally see higher levels of intensification whereas areas further away from the station will see lower levels of intensification. Places of special and fine grain character such as Saigon Place and City Plaza, will be largely maintained as per the current controls so as to encourage the maintenance of their fine grain, active character.
