Council Issue – Design Elements

“Performance outcome PO21 and corresponding Acceptable outcome AO21.4 of the District Centre zone
code requires a well-articulated building with variations in profile and treatment in patterning of
windows and changes in colours, textures and materials to break up facades. Further clarification is
required to demonstrate compliance with this.”

Information Required

    10. Provide a material palette and or renderings that demonstrate compliance with
        Performance outcome PO21 and corresponding Acceptable outcome AO21.4 of the
        District Centre zone code. Consider greater variation in the treatment and patterning of
        windows/shading devices.

Applicant’s Response
In response to this item, the applicant has made a number of changes to the elevations of the buildings
which are shown on the amended Proposal Plans. The Proposal Plans include a number of perspective
which illustrate the proposed changes and include a legend to provide further information about the
range of materials and finishes that are proposed. In summary, the architect has introduced a number
of new materials and design features which will add further interest and articulation to the elevations
and provide greater contrast between the commercial tenancies and the residential units above. Some
of the key design changes are summarised below:

       new awnings have been added above the commercial tenancies;

       a variety of window screens have been added which add a finer grain to the residential
        component and some privacy and noise attenuation to the road.;
