Site Strategy

Shackleton is delivered within the framework of the Adamstown SDZ, creating a new residential neighbourhood that balances density, character and integration with surrounding development. The masterplan establishes a coherent urban structure of streets and blocks, defined by a central green axis and strategic landmark buildings, embedding placemaking at the core of this suburban expansion.

Movement Strategy

The layout is shaped by a connected and legible street hierarchy, integrating with wider Adamstown transport infrastructure. Primary streets provide efficient vehicle access and public transport connections, while generous footpaths, cycle lanes and local routes create a safe, walkable environment that supports active travel and neighbourhood connectivity.

Urban Design Concept

The masterplan combines varied housing types—from family homes and own-door duplexes to four- and five-storey apartment buildings—organised around open spaces, home zones and key corners. Architectural rhythm, façade variation and a strong street edge contribute to a cohesive and distinctive identity, supporting a socially diverse and visually engaging community.
