Thriving Neighbourhoods workshop Can
decentralised district infrastructure accelerate
sustainable building? Melbourne Convention and
Exhibition Centre. Tuesday 13 November 2012.
11.00-12.30

2This workshop is very timely they want to talk..
- Melbourne Planning Strategy
- Hot topics globally competitive, strong
communities, environmental resilience,
polycentric linked to regions, 20 minute city,
infrastructure, leader-partner-ship - Today, you are offered the chance to formulate
your sustainable contribution!

5Can we bridge the building with infrastructure
and does it deliver sustainable solutions?
6Objective
- creating a framework in which synergies between
decentralised infrastructure and buildings
enhance sustainability - opportunities and barriers
- new and redevelopment precinct scale
- decentralised district infrastructure encourage
green building?
7Elements of district infrastructure
- energy (neighbourhood scale)
- renewable energy, smart grids
- rainwater harvesting stormwater storage
- wastewater reuse
- green infrastructure (open space, landscape,
ecology) - recycling and composting, re-use
- design of public spaces (squares, green space,
streets) - social infrastructure (education, meeting,
networks) - public transport/cycling infrastructure
- (much more)
- integrated
8Output
- report
- goes to City of Melbourne (presentation),
reaction Melbourne lets talk, part of conference
proceedings - academic paper(s) (who wants to join?)
9Benefit of the workshop
- exchange knowledge and ideas
- understand how sustainable district
infrastructure can be integrated with buildings - acknowledge the infrastructure-building interface
as a driver for urban planning

18Workshop expectations
- Six key findings (solutions, strategies,
measures) that your group finds to be essential
to realise sustainable neighbourhoods. Divide in
3 barriers and 3 opportunities - Provide your contribution to Melbourne Planning
Strategy, as an advise, based on your workshop
debate and key findings - These advises together we will combine into a
framework at the end of the workshop - Every participant is asked to write down his/her
two main elements that resonate on post-its
19Use of case study E-gate
- Redevelopment 23 ha, mixed use, residential,
commercial, higher densities, close to station,
city link, green infrastructure

21Program
- 4 groups (infrastructure, planning, building,
tools) - 11.10 Brainstorm, collect solutions, strategies
and measures, select six key findings (33) - 12.00 report back (4x5 minutes)
- 12.20 building of framework
- 12.30 end (continue the discussion over lunch)
- Each group to appoint one reporter/presenter and
note-taker
