The Round Mountain Design Guidelines have been created to inspire high quality homes and landscaping that celebrate the mountain’s landmark setting.
They provide a clear design framework that encourages thoughtful, distinctive and enduring architecture, ensuring Round Mountain continues to stand apart as a community of exceptional character.
These Design Guidelines should be read alongside the approved Plan of Development and relevant Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) and Logan City Council (LCC) requirements. Together, they help protect and enhance the value of your most important investment, your family home, while contributing to a cohesive, vibrant neighbourhood.
Used thoughtfully, the Design Guidelines act as a blueprint for creating homes that are both unique and harmonious within their setting, ensuring every resident enjoys a community of lasting beauty and pride.
The Round Mountain Design Guidelines celebrate a contemporary architectural style that encourages variety and individuality while maintaining visual harmony across the community.
Homes are designed with a mix of skillion, pitched, and cubic roof forms, complemented by thoughtful facade detailing that contributes to a refined and cohesive streetscape.
A palette of natural textures, materials and colours is encouraged to reflect and enhance the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
This approach helps create a strong sense of place and reinforces the distinctive character that defines the Round Mountain community.
Homes should positively engage with public areas such as streets and open spaces through the considered integration of roofs, walls, large areas of glazing, Ancillary Structures and landscaping.
Garages and Ancillary Structures are to complement the main dwelling in both design and materiality, ensuring a balanced and well-connected appearance throughout the neighbourhood.
Engaging with the DRP early in your design journey can help establish clear parameters while allowing creativity and individuality to flourish. The DRP is here to collaborate with homeowners and builders, providing guidance to help achieve your design goals and bring your forever home vision to life. Where refinements are needed, the DRP will work constructively with you to ensure the best possible outcome for both your home and the broader community.
The Design Review Panel (DRP) has been established to guide and support the delivery of high-quality homes and landscapes throughout Round Mountain. Its role is to ensure that every home contributes to the community’s shared vision and upholds the standards outlined in these Design Guidelines.
All homeowners are required to obtain approval from the DRP before commencing construction of a new home or undertaking any external alterations. This process ensures every design aligns with the overall vision for Round Mountain and maintains the community’s architectural integrity.
These Design Guidelines are intended as a framework to help achieve the project vision while encouraging creativity and individuality. Design innovation that enhances quality housing and living outcomes is welcomed and the DRP encourages discussion around new ideas and approaches.
Alternative design solutions may be presented to the DRP and will be reviewed on their individual architectural merit. The DRP has the discretion to approve alternative designs where they are considered to meet or exceed the overall intent and desired outcomes of these Design Guidelines.
