1.1 PURPOSEThese design guidelines intend to protect the investment of all purchasers by ensuring a level of consistency throughout the development and maintaining a high standard of design and construction while also encouraging diversity and a varied, visually interesting streetscape.

1.2 DESIGN REVIEW PANEL (DRP) APPROVALAll house designs and building works including excavation, fencing, retaining walls and outbuildings require the endorsement of the Design Review Panel (DRP). Approval from DRP is required before applying for a building permit for the construction of a new dwelling.

The DRP will assess all designs and if they are compliant with the design guidelines, provide a letter of approval along with an endorsed copy of the plans and external colour schedule. If the design submission does not comply, the DRP will advise the applicant on the areas of non-compliance and the required amendments. Applicants will then be required to submit amended documents in order to gain approval.

The DRP will endeavour to assess proposals in the shortest possible time which is generally within 10 business days of receipt of a complete and compliant application.

Please refer to the DRP Approval Application Form at the rear of this document for further information. The application form must accompany the submission documents.

The design guidelines may be amended from time to time at the Developer’s discretion to reflect changes in design and building trends and/or amendments to legislation affecting building approvals. Applications will be assessed against (and must comply with) the current version of the design guidelines. The final decision regarding all aspects of the design guidelines will be at the discretion of the DRP. The DRP also reserve the right to waive or vary any requirement of the design guidelines.

1.3 STATUTORY OBLIGATIONSIt is the responsibility of the purchaser/builder/Building Surveyor to ensure compliance with any applicable statutory requirements (such as Building Regulations, planning requirements and current Victorian energy rating standards). Approval from the DRP is not an endorsement that plans comply with such requirements.

1.4 CONSTRUCTION PROCESSThe following steps illustrate the process to build at Lilium

1 PURCHASE YOUR LANDIt is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the full approval process is followed

2 DESIGN YOUR DWELLINGIn accordance with the design guidelines and any other governing authority requirements

3 SUBMIT PLANS TO THE DRPNon-compliant submissions must be amended and re-submitted to the DRP

4 RECEIVE DRP APPROVALAny changes made to the DRP approved documents must be submitted for re-approval

5 BUILDING PERMITA Building Permit must be obtained from Council or an independent Building Surveyor

6 COMMENCE CONSTRUCTIONYou must comply with all applicable requirements during construction

7 COMPLETE CONSTRUCTIONA Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) must be obtained prior to Occupation

8 ADDITIONAL WORKSComplete driveway and fencing prior to Occupancy. Complete front landscaping within 3 months of Certificate of Occupancy

2.1 ORIENTATION AND SOLAR ACCESS Dwellings must face the main street frontage and present an identifiable entrance to the street.

Where possible, dwellings should be sited so that living areas and private open spaces face north in order to maximise solar efficiency.

Only one dwelling is permitted per lot. Dual occupancy and further subdivision is not allowed.

2.2 BUILDING SETBACKSBuilding envelopes have been prepared for each lot and can be found on the Plan of Subdivision. These envelopes specify the area where a building can be sited on the lot, indicating setback requirements and permitted encroachments.

The following setbacks will generally be required:

• Front boundary: Dwelling must be setback at least 4.0m. Porches,verandahs and pergolas not exceeding 3.6m in height may encroachinto the 4.0m setback.

• Corner boundary: Dwelling must be setback at least 2.0m.

• Garages: Must be setback at least 500mm behind the front wall of thedwelling and at least 5.5m from the front boundary. For lots with a 3.0mfront setback envelope the garage must be setback at least 5.0m.

• Side boundaries: Walls on the boundary or a minimum setback of 1.0m Rear boundary: Dwelling must be setback at least 3.0m. Eaves, fasciaand gutter may encroach into front, side and rear setbacks

2.3 DWELLING SIZE Dwellings must comply with the following (excludes porch, verandah, garage, alfresco or similar):

Lot size: Minimum dwelling size:

Less than 300m2 100m2

300m2 - 399m2 120m2

400m2 - 499m2 140m2

500m2 and above 160m2

Variations may be considered at discretion of the DRP

2.4 LOTS LESS THAN 300m2

The Small Lot Housing Code applies to lots less than 300m2 (refer to plan of subdivision for Type A or Type B allocation).

Small lots must also comply with the requirements of these design guidelines. In the case of conflict between the Small Lot Housing Code, restrictions on the Plan of subdivision and the design guidelines, the requirements of the Small Lot Housing Code shall prevail.

Refer to the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) website for information regarding the Small Lot Housing Code: https://vpa.vic.gov.au/strategy-guidelines/small-lot-housing-code/

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

3.1 FAÇADE DESIGNFront elevations must incorporate windows and other features (such as verandahs, projections, varying roof form and materials) to sufficiently address the street. Large areas of blank or unarticulated walls will not be permitted.

The main entry must be visible from the street and delineated by a porch or similar entrance feature designed to complement the façade. Porches must have a minimum depth of 1.5m and balconies must have a minimum depth of 1.0m.

Façade designs must generally reflect a contemporary theme. Overly traditional façades will not be permitted.

3.2 CORNER LOTSCorner elevations must address the secondary street by incorporating design features which match and compliment the front elevation (‘corner treatment’). Factors to be considered include window design, materials and articulation (such as roof and/or wall projections, pergolas etc). Each proposal will be considered on its merits by the DRP.

Blank unarticulated walls will not be permitted.

The above also applies to elevations facing a reserve/public open space.

The corner treatment must span for a distance of at least 3.0m and must remain unfenced.

3.3 ROOF DESIGNA variety of roof forms are encouraged and permitted.

Hipped roofs shall be pitched at 22 – 25 degrees (minimum 20 degrees for double storey dwellings).

Roofs must be constructed from non-reflective corrugated Colorbond or roof tiles in a flat/slim line profile. Tray deck profiles are permitted for flat roof designs where concealed by a parapet.

All roofs must include minimum eaves of 450mm to the street frontage. Corner lot dwellings must include eaves to both street frontages. Eaves to the frontage of a dwelling must return and continue a minimum distance of 1.0 metre along the connecting return wall and or walls. Double storey dwellings must include eaves to the entire first floor. Alternatively, the use of parapet walls will be permitted at the discretion of the DRP.

Encouraged façade designs

3.4 GARAGESAll lots must provide vehicle accommodation in the form of an enclosed garage.

The garage must be setback at least 500mm behind the front wall of the dwelling and least 5.5m from the front boundary. For lots with a 3.0m front setback envelope the garage must be setback at least 5.0m.

For single storey dwellings, the garage door must not exceed 40% of the lot frontage.

For lots where the Small Lot Housing Code (SLHC) does not apply garage openings are to occupy no more than 40% of the width of the lot frontage, unless the dwelling is two (2) or more storeys, and on a lot with an area between 250 to 300 square metres whereby the garage opening must not exceed 30% of the area of the front façade of the dwelling. The area of the front façade of the dwelling is measured from a two dimensional elevation plan of the façade excluding the area of the roof of the dwelling

Garages must not dominate the façade and must have a sectional or panel lift door to the street frontage.

3.5 EXTERNAL MATERIALS AND COLOURSExternal walls should be constructed from:

• Face brickwork

• Rendered lightweight cladding or masonry

• Weatherboards/cement composite materials (such asScyon cladding)

• Timber cladding

• Selective use of stone, tile or corrugated Colorbond cladding

Front façades must incorporate at least 2 different materials, with the second material making up at least 20% of the elevation.

Front façade materials must continue for at least 1.0m along the adjoining side elevation.

Unpainted and / or untreated metalwork and reflecting glazing will not be permitted.

Lightweight infill is not permitted to windows and doors on street elevations.

An external palette which adopts natural, neutral colours is required. Reliance on external colours which are bright or draw visual attention to the building (as a result of its contrast to the surrounding environment) shall not be supported.
