In civic spaces, ensure delivery of goods is catered for, either by provision of an alternate access or clear temporal and physical separation which support the broader public domain objectives.
Benefits
- Balances amenity, transport and building efficiency
- Allows time-separation of vehicles and people
- Maintains place focus
Considerations
- May lead to busy vehicle movements during their allowed times

Example
Pitt Street Mall includes removable bollards at the street intersections, creating a shared zone with one-way access and timed parking at specific times. Access is restricted to early mornings outside peak pedestrian activity and intended to facilitate deliveries where other access is unavailable. This allows the mall to cater to its primary purpose of providing space for people walking, dwelling and accessing retail and commercial services within the Sydney CBD for the majority of the day. Its level of activity requires a high level of operational intervention. Other less busy spaces may have less rigid time-based restrictions.
