 4.2 Building Design
The proposed dual occupancy design is finished with an attractive built form which addresses the street
and contributes positively to the surrounding development on Wyandra Street. The design incorporates a
mix of materials to add visual interest and take the form of separate buildings in accordance with the
requirements of the Medium Density Residential Zone code. This is achieved through variations in front
façade and roof form.
More than 3m of separation is provided between the garages which is greater distance than the code
requires. While the code does not require vehicles to leave the site in a forward gear, the proposed
driveway allows vehicles to turn around onsite and exit in a forward gear.
The design will be finished with high quality landscapes and useable communal and open space area. The
design contributes positively to the locality, enhances the streetscape, does not dominate the streetscape
and does not present as a large singly bulky development.
