Specific Outcomes

Front fences and wails

039 Front fences and walls are designed and

sited to—

a) contribute to the attractiveness of the street;

b) be compatible with the existing streetscape
character;

c) relate to the architectural period of the
building;

d) avoid interference with the movement of
surface stormwater;

e) allow for casual surveillance from the street
or where premises adjoin part of the major
road network, mitigate traffic noise;

fy provide for planting in front of high solid
fences and walls; and

g) — ensure planting between the front fence and
the footpath does not create an impediment
for pedestrians using the footpath.
