Specific Outcomes

Built form

Streetscape character

036 Buildings and other structures—

detract from the visual amenity of adjoining
properties;

c) present as a small building of a domestic
scale within a landscaped setting;

d) present well articulated fagades where
garages or carports are not the dominant
visual element when viewed from the street;

Probable solutions (if code assessable)

-;—

$36.1 The main entrance of the building faces

$36.2 Buildings and other structures are

designed to—

pergolas, sun shading devices, balconies
or a change of building material)(see
Figure.1 and Figure Error! No text of
specified style in document..2);

b) vary and break up the roof form through
gables or different pitches to add visual
interest and define the individual dwelling
units (see Figure.1 and Figure Error! No
text of specified style in document..2);

c) provide individual segmented balconies for
each dwelling unit to reduce dominant
horizontal banding and to provide private
open space for each tenancy (see
Figure.1 and Figure Error! No text of
specified style in document..2);

d) break up building fagades by incorporating
different but complimentary colours,
textures and building materials; and

e) visually break up the bulk of the building
by integrating tall plant species in front of
and to the side of buildings;

AND

$36.3 For corner sites the building design

addresses both street frontages by—
