Development Application part 2 of 2 Report and plans MCU12/0201

                                                                                                                             7



               (c)     Retaining walls

                       Retaining walls beyond the building line are discouraged, but small retaining walls incorporated
                       within the general landscaping area are acceptable using solid masonry or stone in preference to
                       modular or less permanent solutions.


                       Retaining walls should generally not exceed 1.5m in height, however relaxations may be permitted
                       on landscaping or architectural merit.




               (d)     Fencing

                       Fencing materials shall be sympathetic to the proposed building fabric and the natural surrounds.
                       No barbed wire will be permitted, and no fences shall exceed two (2)metres in height.


                       All fences or screen walls shall be painted on both sides, unless constructed from suitable natural
                       materials, such as stone or hardwood timber. Where there is no adjoining property, the lot owner
                       shall paint both sides of the fence.


                       Pool fencing around swimming pools shall comply with all Local Government and statutory
                       requirements.

                       Fences should be located to avoid impacts on existing vegetation wherever practically possible.


               (e)     Hardscapes

                       All external    non-garden   areas   should be   appropriately leveled and    drained to   ensure   that
                       stormwater run-off does not cause erosion of the property or its surrounds.



       3.4     Services, equipment and other installations

               The location and treatment of the following items are subject to Approval by the Seller and must be
               detailed on proposed plans for Building Works, along with any proposed screening measures.


               (a)     Service equipment and meters


                       All external meters or services shall be located to comply with the requirements of the relevant

                       the street.


               (b)     Swimming pool equipment

                       Swimming pool filters and operating equipment shall be located away from public view and
                       screened from reasonable view from adjoining Lots.


               (c)     Insect screens


                       Insect screens shall be integrated with the window frames in design, colour and where appropriate,
                       operation so as to be unobtrusive.

               (d)     Rainwater tanks


                       All rain water tanks are to be incorporated into the design of the Dwelling and shall be screened,
                       buried or treated in such a way as to be unobtrusive.


               (e)     Rubbish bins


                       Rubbish bins and refuse or bin storage areas are to be totally screened from public view.


               (f)     Air-conditioners


                       No externally mounted air-conditioning units shall be installed unless the location and/or measures
                       of screening have been approved.
