The brief seeks to establish a new district centre in Kwa Mashu, building upon an earlier shopping centre and informal trading area, supported by train station and taxi pickup point. The site rises to an elevated sports ground to the north. Key to the success of the master plan is a new market hall set into the site and opening onto an elevated town square. The square provides a focus for retail, workshop, educational and cultural uses. An active pedestrian route is established from train station through market hall and square to sports ground.
