Denman Prospect Building and Siting Guidelines – January 2017 1

Part One Using the Guidelines

1.1 Welcome – Creating PlaceWelcome to Denman Prospect. Capital Estate Developments is creating Canberra’s most remarkable suburb and these Guidelines are intended to achieve that goal.

We want your residence to be of the highest possible standard and we also want to ensure that surrounding properties are of an equally high quality. We are here to help you, so the team that delivered the new Canberra Airport will assist your design team to create your new home. We will work collaboratively and cooperatively with your designers so that your builder has a logical and workable set of plans from which to construct.

The Denman Prospect Building and Siting Guidelines (Guidelines) apply to all dwellings within Denman Prospect. You are required to submit plans and specifications for your dwelling to the Design Coordinator for endorsement before you apply for building and development approvals with relevant authorities.

All dwellings must satisfy the Territory Plan and applicable Code requirements for building and development before your plans and specifications can be endorsed as Compliant.

Our Design Coordination team will be headed by one individual, but will have the back up of 3 other fully qualified architects and project managers to ensure a timely turnaround of your plans prior to lodgement with the ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA). After you have read these Guidelines feel free to contact our team at any time if you have any queries. They can be contacted on 02 6175 3312 or via email on [email protected].

1.2 What do the Guidelines do?These Guidelines provide you with design guidance to assist in your choice of architectural style, materials and colours and outline key elements for construction.

Together with your Building Envelope Plan and Block Details Plans, the Guidelines form part of your Contract.

There are five (5) key design intentions for Denman Prospect to guide your home’s best design outcome, with the intention of contributing to your investment growing in value as the wider community grows around you.

Any amendments made to your plans and specifications by the Design Coordinator or during the building and development approval process must be resubmitted to the Design Coordinator for endorsement as Compliant.

1.4 Compliance BondA Compliance Bond is required to be paid at the time your Contract settles. The Compliance Bond is in place to ensure the requirements of the Guidelines are satisfied, which will benefit all residents


of Denman Prospect.

The purpose of the Compliance Bond is to ensure that:

• dwellings erected on Blocks comply with plans and specifications endorsed by Capital Estate Developments;

• nature strips and public footpaths are protected during construction; and

• any damage to nature strips and public footpaths during construction is rectified.

The Compliance Bond will be returned to you once Practical Completion has been achieved (to the satisfaction of the Design Coordinator) as long as Practical Completion is achieved by the date that is no later than 18 months after completion of your land sales Contract.

If you sell your Block, where the sale is completed prior to plans and specifications being endorsed by the Design Coordinator:

• the Compliance Bond will be refunded to you once Practical Completion has been achieved; and

• your buyer (including any subsequent buyer) will not be eligible for a refund of the Compliance Bond.

1.5 Landscape ContributionCapital Estate Developments will provide you with the Landscaping Contribution as a contribution towards the landscaping of your Block if, by the date that is no later than 18 months after completion of your land sales Contract, you:

• complete landscaping of the front yard of your Block;

• obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for your dwelling; and

• have confirmation from the Design Coordinator that your dwelling is Compliant and that any damage to nature strips and public footpaths that occurred during construction and landscaping has been rectified.


1.6 Solar RequirementA 3 kW solar array must be installed for each dwelling. Capital Estate Developments will provide the General Solar Installation to you for the Solar Amount. The Solar Amount is payable by you to Capital Estate Developments at the time your Contract settles.

1.7 Nature Strips and Territory Land During construction of the dwelling on the Block you must:

• ensure that the Public Domain adjoining the Block is protected by way of appropriate 1.8 metre high fencing; and

• not cause or allow any damage or destruction to the Public Domain adjoining the Block.

1.8 Regrading and FillYou should make your own enquiries in relation to any regrading, filling or similar work performed at Denman Prospect. This work has been undertaken on Denman Prospect prior to or during Block servicing and may include, for example, filling former gullies and agricultural dams.


1.9 Waste During construction, you must establish and maintain a waste enclosure or waste containment area on the Block. Excavated soil that is surplus to your Block’s needs must be removed from the Block and disposed of at a location approved by the Territory.

1.10 Drainage and StormwaterIt is your responsibility to ensure the adequate drainage of the Block in a manner which ensures no concentrated flows are directed onto Blocks that are immediately downstream.

1.11 Other Issues to Consider• Implications of site and building design outcomes for sloping Blocks should be discussed with

your builder.

• Extensive blank walls visible from the street are not permitted.

• Large areas of brick render are not permitted without relief by either articulation or alternate materials.

• Uplighting is permitted only where it is directional in function, onto the surface within property.

• You cannot live on your Block until your dwelling is complete, a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued and all relevant approvals have been obtained.


Part Two Streetscape and Design

2.1 Streetscape Character

Design Intent Expression

Maintain the natural integrity of the area and contribute to your streetscape outcome.

Establish connections to the natural attributes of the site, by siting the home appropriately, and connecting your front landscape with the streetscape.

Respect the natural fall of the land. Dwellings must be responsive to the natural slope of the Block. This encourages the opportunity for views, natural breezes and helps to reduce retaining wall heights.

A front garden enhances amenity and adds value to both the dwelling and the Denman Prospect community.

Requirement

A front garden landscape plan must be prepared that meets the landscape guidelines in Part 2.3.

High quality trees must be preserved on Blocks, for shade and amenity.

Front fencing is not permitted.

A maximum overall retaining wall height of 1m is permitted. Retaining walls will be measured cumulatively with the total no higher than 1m. No more than 0.5m on the boundary will be permitted, if retaining wall is higher than 0.5m it will need to be offset by the height. For example a 1m high retaining wall will need to be 1m from the boundary.

All retaining walls are to be of stone pitched with rock supplied from a local quarry.

Exposed cuts over a maximum overall height of 1m will not be permitted on any Block.

The use of any type of artificial grass or synthetic turf will not be permitted.


2.2 Creating Your Home


Create a home environment that promotes liveability, comfort and safety.

The quality of the streetscape is enhanced by architectural form and style. Inclusions for front balconies, verandahs and entry porches create usable and interesting outdoor spaces that provide opportunities for residents to engage with passers-by.

The home is to have clean lines and have no decorative interpretations of traditional country homes or references. Homes are to use a range of traditional building forms including high roof pitches, large eaves, chimneys, porticos and simple, natural colour palettes.

Primary living areas should have functional connection with the outdoor private open space areas such as courtyards and verandahs.

Arrays are to be fitted flat to the roof however if there is poor solar orientation due to the Block orientation, following specific approval from the Design Coordinator, arrays on frames may possibly be permitted. Arrays mounted on sections of roof where the pitch is less than 15° may require frames, at an additional cost.

All solar arrays are to be fitted to the rear of the dwelling and not visible from the street. Where Block orientation does not allow adequate solar aspect, and following review and specific approval from the Design Coordinator, solar arrays may be fitted in view from the street however they must be fitted flat to the roof.

COLOUR THEMING AND YOUR GARDEN

‘VILLAGING’ COLOUR PLAN

The Estate of Denman Prospect is encased by a backdrop of bushland with evergreen planted ridgelines extending into the estate. These ridge lines divide the estate into a series of catchment / valley pockets forming distinct ‘villages’. Each village has a colour theme to provide identity and orientation within the suburb, these are plum, red and yellow. Colour can be appreciated through autumn foliage and seasonal flowering. Understorey plantings complement the palette of colours as well as the use of street furniture.
