                                                                                                                              3



       2.2     Design objectives

               In order to meet a minimum     design standard of design commensurate with the value of the precinct,
               design objectives should seek to create dwellings that are aesthetically pleasing, responsive to their sites
               and functionally appropriate to the lifestyle enjoyed in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.


               Buildings on the Homesites should therefore be designed to:

                       (i)      Integrate sympathetically with the surrounding environment, yet take full advantage of the
                                natural attributes of the lot, paying respect to aspect, slope, architectural form,materials and
                                colour;

                       (ii)     Preserve reasonable opportunities to neighbouring lots for access to views and sunlight;


                       (iii)    Preserve and enhance the natural features of the Homesites;


                       (iv)     Maintain a compatibility of scale relative to the size of the particular lot;


                       (v)      Provide for generous useable outdoor living spaces that relate directly to indoor living
                                areas; and


                       (vi)     Maintain     an   appropriate level of privacy between lots with consideration of setbacks,
                                window placement, plantings and screening.




3.     DESIGN CRITERIA


       3.1     Architectural Design Principles


               Design principles to be adopted in accordance with this Deed relate to:

               (a)     Style

                       Architectural style is not limited to any particular style, but should be appropriate to the local
                       vernacular and respond well to the characteristics of the site and its surrounds, the sub-tropical
                       climate and lifestyle qualities on offer.


                       Approval will not be given for the relocation of existing houses or other improvements onto the
                       Homesites.


               (b)     Building Mass and Form

                       Visual bulk and scale should be considered to minimize the impact of built form on the landscape.
                       Light-weight construction is encouraged where the natural topography can be used to good effect
                       in reducing relative bulk and creating interesting architectural forms.


                       Blank walls shall be kept to a minimum, but will be considered on their architectural merit, taking
                       into account form,texture and visual interest.


                       "Kit Homes" shall not be permitted, nor cost effective "Pole Homes" with typically uniform floor
                       levels that disregard natural ground levels. Some forms of pole construction can however be
                       sympathetic to their settings and provide for dramatic architecture and will be considered on their
                       architectural merit.


               (c)     Building colours

                       Colours selected should blend the          dwelling in with the surrounding environment, however
                       contrasting colours may be considered subject to the context of the proposal and architectural
                       merit.


                       Proposed colours must be assessed by the Seller as part of the Approval process.
