Positioning

• Home design should respond to the site’s natural features, including sunlight, breezes, views, and surroundings.
• Consider outlook, solar access, neighbouring homes, and opportunities for north-facing outdoor spaces.
• Key factors to address:
• Views and vistas
• Prevailing breezes
• Sun angles
• Streetscape character
• Orientation relative to neighbouring properties
• Western-facing lots should include shading elements (roof overhangs, screens, window hoods, covered terraces) to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
• Climate-responsive design guidance is provided in the Sustainable Living section.
• On Green Street allotments, living areas should face the green street to maximise views, daylight, and connection to landscaping.

Setbacks

• Correct setback information is provided in the Disclosure Plan and House Siting Plan on the Builder Portal.
• Plans specify front, side, and rear setbacks, plus site coverage requirements.
• Setbacks must comply with the approved Plan of Development.
• Setbacks are measured from the outermost projection of the building or structure.

Built-to-Boundary Requirements

• Built-to-boundary walls may be up to 15 m or 50% of the boundary length (whichever is greater).
• Maximum wall height is 3.5 m.
• Built-to-boundary walls must not contain windows or openings to the side boundary.

• Lot typology is generally based on typical frontage width, except irregular and corner allotments where lot typologies are nominated based on the largest regular allotment building envelope. The Plan of Development (POD) will identify the lot typology for your lot.
