Sunshine West Strategic Opportunities The longer term strategic opportunities identify potential interventions that are based on community priorities, raised during community consultation in the pilot project. Below is an artist impression illustrating how the centre could look if these opportunities are implemented.

possible opportunities, which will be tested further with the community.

Castley Reserve Strategic Opportunities
The Castley Reserve plan was developed following the 20-minute neighbourhood pilot program.
It includes a walking trail around the reserve, walkability improvements and amenity upgrades
along Simmie Street, creating a safe link from the centre to Sunshine Heights Primary School.
Opportunities in this plan will be subject to further community consultation.

Supporting safe access to local schools Priority active transport routes for local schools As schools start to reopen, it is critical that safe walking and cycling routes are accessible around local schools and community infrastructure. This is also important for a successful 20-minute neighbourhood, where people, including students, find it easy to walk and cycle. This map identifies schools within a 20-minute walk from Glengala Village. Temporary pedestrian and cycling routes could be established on local streets to enable safe active transport trips from home, with links to key areas, such as cycling trails, local parks and the local shops. Safe school zones on the street facing the school entrance should also be considered. Mailey St - Sunshine Heights Primary School
