My poster summarises my honours thesis conducted for PLAN4009, on the topic of informal housing in SEQ. There has not yet been any research on informality conducted in this region, and only four other studies in Australia (all in Sydney). My aim for this thesis was therefore to gain insight into this underdiscussed field and provide recommendations for future policy.

This project reimagines an ex-industrial site on the Kurilpa peninsula a resilient and sustainable urban community. Our regeneration plan integrates strategies across all pillars of sustainability with coordinated land use and mobility planning. This provides for necessary housing growth while respecting local expectations, maximising environmental and social benefit.

The aim of this research is to understand how the built form and time of day shape the perceptions of safety of the women working in the precincts' perceptions of safety whilst commuting at night. The research indicates that usage of the precinct by women is greater reliant on activation of the built form than time of day.
