Design Vision and Purpose
Our vision for Brookhaven is to be a place where families thrive.
This vision underpins the masterplanning and design work that goes into making Brookhaven somewhere people will want to live, both today and in the future.
A masterplanned community like Brookhaven brings together and seamlessly coordinates a number of different factors to make it successful. Some of these include:
• Embracing the beautiful natural landscape to enrich the experience of all residents at Brookhaven. This involves preserving mature trees whenever possible and creating accessible waterway and wildlife corridors through multi-use trails.
• Working in partnership with Council and other community providers to deliver community parks and activities that provide health, wellbeing and learning opportunities. This work is supported by a dedicated Community Development Manager.
• Ensuring that a consistent and enjoyable environment for all is created, maintained and enhanced. This last point is made possible through the provision of the Brookhaven Design Guidelines and a design approval process for all homes designed and built in Brookhaven. The Design Guidelines encourage a cohesive streetscape while promoting variety in house design that contributes to creating a neighbourhood that is visually interesting, environmentally conscious and is of a consistent high quality.
There are a number of benefits to having these Brookhaven Design Guidelines in place:
• They provide certainty to all future residents and property owners about the standard of housing and environment that is being created.
• They will assist in ensuring your home is comfortable, healthy and environmentally conscious – through simple measures like choosing a different roof colour.
• They mean that every property owner in Brookhaven shares the responsibility and plays a part in fostering a strong neighborhood character.
The Brookhaven Design Guidelines form part of the sale contract for land at Brookhaven and are enforceable through this contract. The obligations in the Design Guidelines also pass on to future owners –ensuring a consistent standard is maintained.
We believe these Design Guidelines are an important and essential part of making Brookhaven a success – today and in the future. And that this will ultimately contribute to protecting and enhancing values and ensuring Brookhaven is a place where families can thrive.
Approval Process
This document is to be used as a guide for the achievement of the Brookhaven project vision. Design innovation over and above the requirements outlined within this document is encouraged, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss how design innovation can correlate to quality housing and living outcomes. In order to construct your home, you must apply and have an application package approved by the Design Review Panel (DRP). Design Approval by the DRP does not constitute a building approval or compliance with building regulations. Upon obtaining Design Approval from the DRP, a building permit must be obtained from the local Council or a private Building Certifier before construction can commence.
THE PROCESS
The DRP will endeavour to assess proposals in the shortest possible time, generally within ten business days of receiving all required information for the application. Approved plans will be stamped approved, and returned to the applicant or their agent. The progress of the home will be monitored by the DRP to ensure that it conforms to the approved design.
1 Application sent to the DRP
2 Application reviewed by DRP in 10 business days
4 Plans are amended or further information provided
3 Application declined due to further information required
3 Approval granted
4 Plans to be submitted for building approval to local authority for building certification

9. A minimum 2 car spaces is to be provided per dwelling, with at least 1 space capable of being covered (parking spaces may be provided in tandem).
10. Any dwelling proposed on a 10m to 12.49m width site frontage, that is a single storey and proposes a side by side double car accommodation must comply with Specific Development Controls A.
11. Driveways are to have a maximum setback of 0.5m from the site boundary.
12. Where a dwelling is located within 2.0m of ground floor level of another dwelling, the windows of habitable rooms with an outlook to the windows of habitable rooms in an adjacent dwelling provide suitable screening such as:
a. Fixed obscure glazing in any part of the window below 1.5m above floor level; or
b. Fixed external screens; or
c. Sill heights of 1.5m above floor level; or
d. In the case of screening for a ground floor level, fencing to a height of 1.5m above ground floor level.
13. Dual occupancy dwellings will not be supported.
Specific Development Controls A
APPLICATION (8.1)
These development controls apply to all dwellings proposed on a site frontage of 10m to 12.49m width, which is a single storey and proposes a side by side double car accommodation.
Please note these requirements are Council Planning Requirements and cannot be relaxed by the Design Review Panel.
PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES (8.2)
• To provide an activated streetscape.
• To provide an articulated streetscape with diversity of built form outcomes.
• To provide a clearly identifiable sense of entry to all dwellings which is perceived as the dominant element in the streetscape hierarchy.
• Adopts sub-tropical design principles.
ACCEPTABLE SOLUTIONS (8.3)
1. The dwelling shall address the road frontage with:
i. A habitable space with glazed windows and/ or doors orientated towards the road frontage providing outlook from the habitable room; or
ii. A defined (be fencing and/or landscape) private open space area orientated towards the road frontage with a minimal area of 10m2 and a minimum dimension of 3m.
2. The form and streetscape elevation of the dwelling shall be planned to ensure the car accommodation (garage and/or carport) is setback further than the line of the habitable space or the defined private open space.
3. The form and streetscape elevation of the dwelling shall include varying built elements, roof profiles, eave heights and materials to assist in articulation.
4. Opening to the garage and/or carport shall be no greater than 5.5m in width.
5. The entry to the dwelling shall be clearly identifiable from the road frontage by one or more of the following:
i. Entry door being visible from the road frontage
ii. Gatehouse type element addressing the streetscape
iii. Landscape treatment.
6. A gatehouse shall read as an integrated part of the built form of the dwelling and shall be planned forward of the garage/carport.
7. Gates and fences addressing the road alignment shall generally be 1500mm in height and no less than 50% transparency.
8. Where two garage and/or carport doors are introduced to articulate the elevation, the door closest to the entry and/or gatehouse may have a road
alignment setback of 4.5m. In this instance, the entry and/or the gatehouse structure shall incorporate the garage/carport opening as an integrated built form element.
9. Carport spaces openable to the private open space may provide opportunity for extending private open space. In this instance, a batten type screen to the carport door is encouraged to promote street activation, cross ventilation and increase diversity of the streetscape elevation.
10. The dwelling shall include the following landscape outcomes:
i. Generous landscaping between the road alignment and the entry/defined private open space including a minimum of 5m2 of low planting (with a minimum dimension of 1.50m) plus minimum of one 200lt tree as part of this approach; and
ii An identifiable and separated pedestrian path with an alternative material to the driveway with ground cover surround.
11. Dwelling design is to be generally consistent with the Specific Development Controls A ‘Design Outcomes’.
12. Two of the same design Specific Development Controls A ‘Design Outcomes’ are not located next to each other.

Climate Responsive Design Recommendations
LANDSCAPE
Position trees with large canopies to provide shade in summer and reduce glare from surrounding environment. Ensure tree locations and species optimise summer breezes.
ORIENTATION
Position service areas and limit living areas to western aspect where possible to reduce exposure to heat in summer and cold south-westerly winter winds.
NATURAL VENTILATION
Optimise cross ventilation and natural light to keep the house cool and dry, to moderate humidity.
OVERHANGS
Provide shelter to outdoor spaces and generate reduced glare and protect from driving rain.
Definitions
ARTICULATION
The recess and/or projection of a wall.
BUILDING LINE
The front wall line of the house.
BUILDING HEIGHT
The vertical distance between the natural ground level and the peak of the roof of the dwelling (not including antennae, or other Ancillary items).
DRP
Design Review Panel
EAVE LINE
The edge of the roof or parapet.
FAÇADE
Face of the building – Façade Area is calculated as a square metre measurement of the entire vertical surface of the house visible from the Street or Public Area.
GLAZING
Any fixed or opening glass panel.
HABITABLE ROOM
A room used for living activities, e.g. a family room, living room, meals or bedrooms.
PRIVATE OPEN SPACE
The external open areas around the dwelling that are intended exclusively for the recreational purpose of the residents.
SETBACK
