The Cleveland Streetscape Design Manual establishes a cohesive design vision that transforms everyday streets into dynamic, people-first spaces at the heart of the Principal Activity Centre. By creating a unified approach for public realm enhancements, the manual guarantees that future developments embody consistency, accessibility, and enduring character.

Thoughtfully designed streetscapes have the power to shape vibrant connections between people and place. This manual defines clear urban design principles that foster walkable, welcoming environments – prioritising pedestrian movement, social gathering, and local identity over vehicular dominance. Every detail, from the layout of footpaths to the selection of coastal-resilient furniture and plantings, is designed to nurture a sense of belonging and enhance community pride.

Carefully structured design guidance means each new intervention contributes to a growing network of inviting, adaptable, and safe civic settings. Through design leadership and community input, the manual empowers Cleveland to create streetscapes where layered stories, active public life, and sustainable choices will shape the town’s future for generations.

The vision is becoming a plan to create safe, attractive, and future-ready streetscapes, ensuring Cleveland’s public spaces inspire community for generations.
