Street awnings in Major centres are designed and located to: Street awnings:
(a)   provide continuous weather protection to pedestrians;    (a)   are provided along the full frontage of the building and
(b)   maintain the continuity and style of adjacent awnings,         cover the footpath where no other weather protection is
      especially in relation to height, scale, form and              provided for pedestrians as part of the building design;
      materials;                                             (b)     are set back a minimum of 1 metre from the kerb and
(c)   contribute to an attractive streetscape environment;           where include timber posts, the posts are set back not
                                                                     less than 1 metre from the kerb;
(d)   promote an active building front by encouraging
      pedestrian use of the street;                            (c)   are waterproof;

(e)   provide a feeling of enclosure and human scale for       (d)   conform with the height, form and materials of awnings
      pedestrians so as to contribute to the “sense of place”;       on adjoining properties which share the same frontage;
      and                                                      (e)   where falling towards the street, are no less than 2.5
(f)   have an adequate clearance distance from the kerb to           metres at their lowest point or where cantilevered, are
      prevent obstruction.                                           no less than 2.7 metres at their lowest point;
                                                               (f)   use an awning slope of within 15 degrees of adjacent

                                                                     and
