Garages

In general, garage doors must be of a modern contemporary style and either sectional slide over or tilt up finished in a complementary colour or material to the home. Roller doors are not permitted.

Feature detail on garage doors is encouraged to ensure the garage door forms part of and enhances the front facade design.

Garages cannot dominate more than 60 percent of the width of the lot frontage for lots over 10m.

Clear transparent glazing to the garage door is not permitted. A small percentage of translucent or obscure glazing within your garage door design will be at the discretion of the DRP.

A minimum of two on-site car parking spaces must be provided for each dwelling, one of which must be within a garage. There must be at least one off-road visitor car space within the driveway available at all times for vehicle accommodation.
