Guidelines & BEP

Dwellings constructed on corner/reserve lots, as defined in the Building Envelope Plan, must be designed to address the primary street frontage and any secondary street frontages as well as any roads, reserves or public open space.

The use of verandahs, porticos, feature windows and other design features that complement the front elevation will be required on both frontages.

The corner/reserve treatment must return around the corner by a minimum of 2 rooms and align with the side fencing requirement identified in the BEP. See figure 13 for more details.

Window styles to these 2 rooms must match the primary frontage windows sizes and proportions.

Additionally, two storey homes on corner lots must have all upstairs windows that face the secondary frontage match the primary frontage windows. Head and sill heights must match with consideration of vertical alignment of windows over both levels.

Blank walls to the corner/reserve frontage are not permitted.
