Building & Landscape Approval Procedure

STEP 1 – AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION

• Meet with the DRP architect to review your early concepts/vision and ideas for your chosen homesite.

• Discuss site characteristics and relevant issues that may affect the house and landscape designs in order to provide and set a strong direction to proceed with preliminary design work on your new forever home.

STEP 2 – PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND REVIEW

• Prepare and submit preliminary documents to the DRP. See Annexure 1

• Attend preliminary meeting (in person or online) with DRP to further discuss the Preliminary Design.

• The DRP will provide a response within 10 working days following the meeting.

STEP 3 – FINAL DESIGN APPLICATION

• Preparation of final design and construction documentation based on response to the preliminary designs and review. See Annexure 2

• Electronic submission of plans, checklist and application form to DRP for approval.

• If an approval is not granted, further information (plans, specification, reports or documents) or a meeting with a DRP representative may be required.

STEP 4 – APPROVAL

• Submit set of stamped drawing and letter of compliance to Brisbane City Council or Private Certifier.

STEP 5 – ON SITE INDUCTION (NEW BUILDERS ONLY)

• Prior to commencement of any site building works, your builder must attend a site induction. This induction will focus predominantly on key site particulars for the builder to be aware of when constructing your new forever home and will set out the required construction standards which the DRP expect from builders.

STEP 6 – RENOVATIONS, EXTENSIONS AND MODIFICATIONS

• Any renovations, extensions or modifications to the approved designs or subsequent built form or landscaping must be approved by the DRP.

STEP 7 – COMPLIANCE CHECK

• Prior to occupation the DRP will undertake a compliance check of the building and landscape works to ensure that these works are in accordance with the approved set of drawings.

• The owner is responsible for requesting the final compliance check prior to occupation.

• Should construction not comply with approved set of drawings, the DRP via the Home Owners Club reserves the right to issue a notice of non-compliance.

• Once the DRP is satisfied that the construction is in accordance with the approved plans, a final letter of compliance will be issued.

• Occupation will only be allowed following receipt of the letter of final compliance.

Positioning Setbacks

All homes should be positioned on the Lot and oriented to ensure the maximum possible benefit for passive solar gain, improved energy efficiency and create a more pleasant living environment. The orientation of a home should respond to the view purpose of the site, relationship to neighbours, solar access and drawing on a northern outdoor orientation where possible.

Dwelling must be designed to maximise its position and natural environmental advantages such as:

• Views and vistas.

• Prevailing breezes.

• Sun angles.

• Streetscape.

• Orientation in relation to neighbouring properties.

As the Quarry has a western aspect, the use roof overhangs, screens, window hoods and deep covered terraces are highly recommended. For ridgeline view homesites it is recommended that dwelling living zones are orientated to take advantage of the view aspect.

To ensure you are applying the information most relevant to your lot, please view your Disclosure Plan and House Siting Plan here. In particular, these plans will detail front, side and rear setbacks as well as site coverage requirements specific to your lot.

Dwelling setbacks are to be consistent with the approved Plan of Development which has been reflected in the
