                     (E)   Use muted colours and tones that fit within the natural landscape.

              (ix)   Provide light and shadow to break up building facades through –
                     (A)   Large open balconies and verandahs with open balustrades;
                     (B)   Awnings eaves and overhangs;
                     (C)   Pitched or varied roof profiles with no parapets to the street;
                     (D)   Articulated walls and walls with varied lightweight materials;
                     (E)   Gables, columns and posts and screens and shutters;
                     (F)   Expansive windows and doors;
                     (G)   Use of landscaping and tree canopies; and
                     (H)   Use of lights at night to form ‘lantern’ effects.

              (x)    Buildings to sit lightly within the landscape –
                     (A)   Buildings are to be pavilion style to allow significant landscaping between buildings and reduce bulk and
                           scale;
                     (B)   Buildings to be of a human scale at the street and have a fine grained urban form;
                     (C)   Buildings to respect the local neighbourhood context and neighbouring properties;
                     (D)   Use lightweight materials which are simple, affordable and easy to use such as timber frames and corrugated
                           iron roofs; and
                     (E)   High set buildings elevated above ground level on structures systems responding to variable terrain.

              (xi)   Working with the climate­
                     (A)   Reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical heating and cooling through the use of passive design using
                           sunlight and breeze to heat and cool;
                     (B)   Maximise natural light in habitable spaces, reducing the need for lighting and reducing energy demand;
                     (C)   Use of hoods, louvers, screens and awnings and hard and soft landscape elements to reduce the extremes of
                           temperature and urban heat island effects; and
                     (D)   Use moveable elements such as adjustable openings and sliding screens to control temperature, shading
                           and comfort.


 SC6.6.4             Architectural Elements and Building Design Features

 (1)    Key architectural elements which are representative of subtropical Queensland vernacular architecture are:
        (a)   Large open balconies and verandahs with balustrading;
        (b)   Awnings, eaves and overhangs;
        (c)   Pitched roof forms;
        (d)   Shutters and screens; and
        (e)   Expansive windows and doors.

 (2)    Large Open Balconies and Verandahs with Balustrading:
        (a)   Balconies have evolved in response to the climate and change in lifestyle patterns, providing large shaded indoor/outdoor
              living spaces which can be used year round in the subtropics.
        (b)   When designed and positioned appropriately, balconies and verandahs will provide residents with privacy, access to
              cooling breezes and refuge form intense heat, while affording protection from intense rains.
        (c)   Balconies should be of a size and configuration which facilitate functionality and comfort year round.
        (d)   Balconies and verandahs can contribute to building articulation and visual interest creating recessed and projecting
              elements
        (e)   Balconies are designed to be open and light weight in appearance with transparent or open balustrading including timber,
              steel, wire or glass. Shutters or louvers might provide for privacy but they should not be fully enclosed nor be used for an
              additional room.

 (3)    Awnings, Eaves and Overhangs:
        (a)   These shade responses are also a response to climate and provide for filtered light to enter the building while affording
