Resilient building design and form
PO6 AO6.1
Buildings are designed to integrate well with the street level
and the levels of adjoining properties to facilitate
Development ensures that building design and building form:
pedestrian flows and visual and physical connectivity
between the footpath and ground floors. N/A The proposed lot is outside of the DFE.
1. accounts for potential flood risk; AO6.2
Buildings incorporate appropriate screening to ensure that
2. is resilient to flood events; and
any under-storey is not visible from the street, where such
screening does not impede flood water flows. N/A The proposed lot is outside of the DFE.
3. maintains a functional and attractive street address
appropriate to the intended use.
AO6.3
Residential buildings minimise risk from flooding by
providing parking and other low intensive, non-habitable
uses at ground level, rather than habitable uses. N/A The proposed lot is outside of the DFE.
AO6.4
Non-residential buildings and structures are oriented to the
street by activating the street frontage with appropriate
uses and urban design treatments such as recessed wall
treatments, screening or landscaping, whilst allowing for
flow through of flood waters on the ground floor. N/A The proposed lot is outside of the DFE.
Editor's Note— The use of flood resilient building
materials is also encouraged for building works up to
the probable maximum flood to reduce the
consequences of flooding.
AO6.5
Basements and underground car parking areas are designed
to drain and function safely during a flood event and power
failure. N/A The proposed lot is outside of the DFE.
