Housing - Type 2 Duplex.

Plan. Burleigh Designs have prepared proposal plans for the development, which are included in

5.1 Building Design and Siting

The proposed Duplex dwelling comprises 2 x 2 bedroom units located in a two storey, 8.0 metre high
building that steps down the slope of the site. The units are of a town-house configuration with three
levels. The ground level contains an entry area which leads past the media room, laundry to the
living, dining and kitchen areas located to the rear of the site.

The first level contains the carparking area which provides an internal access to the units and leads
across a raised bridge to a bedroom with ensuite at the rear of the building. An upper level
comprising the second bedroom with ensuite and study also located at the rear of the site.

The ground and first levels provide decks orientated to the adjoining park to the southwest of the site
with the internal stairways providing articulation and light into the building.

Water tanks are located to the rear of the building.

The Duplex has been designed to maximise privacy for the individual units whilst providing an
outlook to the park to the southwest. The building adopts a contemporary design and proposes to
utilise a range of high quality materials and finishes which include:

« Rendered finish to walls,

« Aluminum framed glass infill balustrade;
« Selected stone cladding over brick piers;
« Timber shade screens; and

« Colourbond roof.

The final layout of the units is the result a design and development phase which analysed the
constraints of the site such as the slope and small area of the site.

The intent of these other development works includes:
