3 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE The principle aim of these design guidelines is to set out a vision for Lonsdale Shores that maintains and enhances the inherent qualities of old Point Lonsdale. The quality feel of the existing township, created by a delicate balance between the natural coastal and built form heritage, is the unique feature that makes Point Lonsdale an extremely popular place to live and to visit. Fig 1: Informal Streetscape Fig 2: Informal Streetscape There are a variety of elements that contribute to the look and feel of old Point Lonsdale. The most significant elements are those that are linked to the physical appearance; the vegetation and the land forms. The character of the residential houses and how they nestle within the coastal vegetation is also a strong determinant of the inherent attraction of the township as a place to live. Fig 3 & 4: Houses nestled into the landscape, showcasing the use of coastal materials The objective of maintaining and enhancing the character of Point Lonsdale will be achieved in part by these design guidelines. These guidelines are designed to integrate and enhance the new residential development at Lonsdale Shores with the existing township. They will assist with the design of houses and landscaped areas to ensure that these elements contribute in a positive manner to the overall preferred character of the township. The Design Guidelines are intended to encourage residential development that enhances the amenity and attractiveness of both the public and the private domain for the benefit of residents and for their visitors. By following the design guidelines, each purchaser will help to contribute to an attractive living environment that enhances the character of the properties at Lonsdale Shores. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 3

4 1.2 THE VALUE OF GOOD DESIGN Individual houses should contribute to the character that attracted you to Point Lonsdale not detract from the amenity and experience. The objective is to present a coherent residential image that is right for the place a coastal township as distinct from a metropolitan, suburban image. Good design also addresses sustainability issues particularly energy consumption and overall comfort levels. Consideration is to be given to the positive advantages to be gained from appropriate siting of the house on an allotment, taking account of the aspect, surroundings, existing and proposed vegetation as well as generous setbacks and height controls to prevent overlooking and assist with privacy. Applicants are strongly encouraged to adopt custom design through the use of an architect, building designer or a builder who utilises custom design. 1.3 OPERATION The Design Guidelines will assist purchasers, designers and builders prepare house designs that take optimum advantage of the local setting, climate and coastal lifestyle opportunities. Purchasers, designers and builders must be aware of the Design Guidelines and the approval process so that they are given full consideration and incorporated into the built form. These guidelines have consideration for the City of Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, the Victorian Building Regulations and the Borough of Queenscliffe s Building Siting and Design Guidelines Point Lonsdale Natural Coastal Area. The Lonsdale Golf Club reserves the right to amend these Design Guidelines. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 4

5 2 APPROVAL PROCESS The steps outlined below describe the process for each purchaser to follow in order to design and construct a house at Lonsdale Shores. Compliance is achieved by a restriction on title. The governing body is the Lonsdale Golf Club Design Review Committee (LGCDRC). The Building and Landscape Design Guidelines form part of the approval by the City of Greater Geelong of the Lonsdale Golf Club Residential Subdivision under Schedule 26 to the Development Plan Overlay. The DRC reserves the right to vary the provisions of these guidelines to accommodate proposals which exhibit design merit. Any decisions made by the Design Review Committee in respect of the design plans will be final and binding. STEP 1 INVESTIGATION & FAMILIARIZATION Applicants are encouraged to investigate the old Point Lonsdale area to gain an understanding of the types of architecture and landscape materials that contribute in a positive manner to the local character. The Club recommends that purchasers meet with the LGCDRC prior to commencing design work to review the approval process and the objectives set out in the Design Guidelines. STEP 2 DESIGN The vision and objectives set out in these guidelines must be appropriately considered during the preparation of the house and landscape design. Designs must also comply with applicable planning schemes and building regulations. STEP 3 APPLICATION The Contract Conditions require purchasers of land at Lonsdale Shores, to submit drawings and other relevant information to the LGCDRC for assessment and approval prior to finalising construction documents and lodging a building permit application. Design Approval Application Forms and Check Lists setting out the documents required can be obtained from the website or the following links: Design Approval Application Forms Design Review Check List (Electronic Submissions are preferred.) DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 5

6 STEP 3 (continued) The purchaser must not erect any buildings or undertake other works on the lot unless the plans for such buildings or works and any associated landscaping have been endorsed by the LGCDRC prior to the issue of a building permit. An Application Fee is payable upon submission of documents. Amendments to approved designs may incur further fees. STEP 4 LONSDALE SHORES APPROVAL LGCDRC will assess the application based on the information supplied and the Design Guidelines contained within this document. If a design is not approved, the applicant will be required to address the areas of concern highlighted by the LGCDRC and submit amended plans. Further information if required, will be requested in writing. Approved plans will be endorsed by the LGCDRC and returned with a letter of approval within 15 working days of receipt of all documents and being in accordance with the Design Guidelines The LGCDRC will endeavour to work with the land owner to assist in the fast approval of an application. A suitable or complying application will be granted approval to proceed, upon which, the owner and builder can then commence construction documentation for a Building Permit application. STEP 5 BUILDING APPROVAL Obtain a Building Permit from an approved building surveyor or from the City of Greater Geelong Important note; The approval of a design application by the LGCDRC does not exempt the owner/ applicant from any statutory or building regulations. Approval of plans by the LGCDRC does not infer compliance under the Building Code of Australia, Rescode or any other applicable planning or building regulations. It is the responsibility of the owner and builder to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations. STEP 6 CONSTRUCTION Once a Building Permit has been obtained, construction of the new house may begin. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 6

7 3 SITING AND ORIENTATION The siting and layout of the house & garage on a lot is one of the most critical factors in designing a new home that contributes positively to neighbourhood character and livability; It ensures the best visual presentation to the street. Efficient relationships between indoor and outdoor spaces can be achieved to maximise lifestyle amenity. Overlooking, privacy and amenity of neighbours can be dealt with effectively. Maximises the benefits of solar access. Promotes energy efficiency. Living spaces should maximise the opportunities afforded by the prevailing environmental conditions. This will ensure that energy savings are realised and positive environmental outcomes are achieved. Retaining walls should not be higher than 1 metre. 3.1 LAND USE Only a single dwelling may be built per allotment. Dual occupancy and further subdivision is not permitted. This does not apply to those lots identified by the Lonsdale Golf Club as medium density lots. 3.2 SITE COVERAGE The area of the building footprint shall not exceed 55% of the lot area for single storey dwellings and 50% of the lot area for 2 storey dwellings. Residents should consider the use of permeable materials for external spaces to increase rain infiltration and reduce stormwater runoff. To achieve this objective, the site area covered by buildings and non-permeable surfaces shall not exceed 70% of the lot area. In other words, at least 30% of the site must have a permeable surface. A minimum of 60% of the front landscape of the lot must be made up of permeable materials. 3.3 HOUSE SITING AND ORIENTATION Houses must face the street frontage and present an identifiable entry point. Where possible, houses are to be planned so that habitable rooms especially living areas face towards the north for maximum solar access. Private open space and courtyards are to be positioned on the north side of the dwelling where possible. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 7

8 3.4 BUILDING SETBACKS Setbacks are used to help guide appropriate development outcomes. They are applied to help achieve minimal impact on the amenity of neighbouring dwellings, particularly from overshadowing and overlooking. Siting the house and garage; Generally, the house facade must be set back a minimum of 5 metres from the front boundary. Where lots front onto Fellows Road and Gill Road and where the road reserve has been widened by 5 metres, the set back shall be a minimum of 5 metres. For lots that front onto Fellows Road and Gill Road where the road reserve has not been widened, the set back shall be a minimum of 7 metres. On lots with more than one street frontage, or with frontage to an open space reserve, buildings must be set back a minimum of 2 metres from the side boundary. Garages must be set back a minimum of 0.9 metres behind the building face. On lots more than 600m2 all buildings must be set back a minimum of 1 metre from a side boundary adjoining another residential lot. On lots up to 600m2 buildings may abut one boundary for a maximum of 30% of the length of that boundary. A rear wall of a building less than 3.6 metres in height must be set back from the rear boundary by a minimum of 3.5 metres. A rear wall of a building exceeding 3.6 metres in height must be set back from the rear boundary by a minimum of 4.5 metres, plus 0.3 metres for every metre in height over 3.6 metres up to 6.9 metres, plus 1 metre for every metre of height to a maximum of 8 metres. On lots which have a common boundary with lots in Diggora Court, Kelsey Court and Warwick Hill Drive, no building, outbuilding or encroachment will be permitted within 5 meters of such common boundary. Unless specified otherwise the side boundary setbacks shall be 1 metre, plus 0.3 metres for every metre in height over 3.6 metres up to 6.9 meters, plus 1 metre for every metre of height up to a maximum of 8 metres. Refer to the Setback Diagrams on the following page. Encroachments into setback zones; Allowable encroachments include; Verandahs, porticos and balconies can encroach up to 1.2 metres into the front setback Eaves not exceeding 600mm in total depth can encroach beyond the approved setbacks only where a 400mm gap is retained between the eaves facia and the boundary Water tanks may encroach into side and rear setbacks. 3.5 HOUSES OF SIMILAR APPEARANCE The DRC reserves the right to refuse house types, roof types and facades of similar appearance within 3 lots of each other and within 3 lots of the lot directly opposite the proposed house.

10 4 BUILT FORM 4.1 INTRODUCTION House design is an important factor that determines the character of a neighbourhood. New houses that are constructed at Lonsdale Shores should add to the inherent local character that makes the coastal township an attractive place to live. A high level of architectural design and innovation is required to ensure that the best outcomes are achieved for all who live here. The local environment is the key feature, and the built form should draw inspiration from the natural coastal setting and seek to be integrated with this through sympathetic design form and colours. A contemporary design aesthetic is preferred. Replica period architectural styles will not be approved unless they reflect local coastal designs. 4.2 DESIGN PRINCIPLES The key features to be considered in the design of residential houses are described in 4.3 to 4.11 below. 4.3 BUILDING MASS Building scale and proportion play an important role in setting neighbourhood character. It is important that house size relates to the environmental and human scale to avoid the presentation of an overwhelming built form. All house designs are to consider the proportions of the lot, neighbouring houses and the natural features of the site, including vegetation and topography. Building mass should seek to be integrated with the form and scale of the local environment, creating a neighbourhood character where dwellings are nestled within the landscape. Fig 5: This is an example of a new house that has not considered its context in the streetscape DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 10

11 4.4 STREET FRONTAGE It is important that houses address the street, and the entry point is clearly identifiable from the street. Engaging, attractive and interactive front entries should be glimpsed in views framed by native vegetation within the front garden of lots. Fig 6: Identifiable entry from the street Fig 7: Passive surveillance through balconies / porches House facades are improved by the addition of details such as; Verandahs, porches and balconies Eaves Windows Entry features These elements not only act as interesting architectural features, but also provide opportunities for passive surveillance of streets and houses, and social connection with neighbours. They also provide a strong sense of arrival and an effective transition from the public to the private realm. 4.5 BUILDING HEIGHTS Dwellings must not exceed a maximum height of two storeys, with a maximum height of eight (8) metres above natural ground level. Elements such as chimneys may be permitted above this level. 4.6 EXTERNAL WALLS / FACADE ARTICULATION Diversity in the front facade and external walls of houses adds to visual interest and the character of the neighbourhood. This can be achieved by articulation of external walls, colour, materials and texture. These elements should reflect the local coastal environment. The preferred materials for external walls include a complementary combination of materials selected from the following; Painted weatherboard cladding Natural timber Rendered, bagged or painted brickwork Natural stone DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 11

12 Rammed earth Face brickwork used as features Glazing / windows Fig 8: Painted weatherboard cladding Fig 9: Rammed earth Brightly coloured finishes to external walls, especially the street facade, will not be permitted. Refer to Section 4.11; Colours, for guidelines about colour selection. Extensive, continuous and sheer double storey walls are to be avoided. Articulation of high walls by a change in plane, feature, and / or mixture of materials are to be considered to avoid elements that have a dominating and monolithic appearance. 4.7 WINDOWS Windows reduce the impact of the built form in the landscape and are encouraged for building facades which are visible from public areas. Glazing should form an integral component of the architectural design of the house, and provide a connection between the indoor and outdoor environments to reinforce the natural landscape setting. 4.8 ROOF FORM AND MATERIALS The roof form determines the overall aesthetic of a dwelling to a large degree, and it can be used to reinforce the preferred local coastal character. Articulated roof shapes such as flat or skillion are preferred, but gable and hip roofs are acceptable. Fig 10: Example of articulated roof shapes DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 12

13 Fig 11: Example of articulated roof shapes Roof design, colour and type of material are important to the appearance of dwellings and their contribution to local streetscapes. Pitch and form should be in proportion with the overall house design and relate to the local context and streetscape character. Where eaves are provided, they must be a minimum depth of 450mm. The preferred roofing material is colorbond steel. Tile roofs will not be approved. Reflective roofing will not be approved. 4.9 GARAGES AND CAR PARKING To reduce the dominance of garages and vehicles in the streetscape character, the design and location of garages and car ports must endeavour to make them an integral and unobtrusive part of the dwelling. This can be achieved by the use of complementary building materials, form and colour. Fig 12: Complementary form to garaging Fig 13: Lightweight car port The design and appearance of garage doors should be integrated with the house design. Where garages are not attached to the house, they should be constructed of the same materials as the house. Covered links to the main house may be provided if the character and design complements the main house design. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 13

14 The width of a garage / carport must not exceed 50% of the total house facade width and be no more than 7 metres wide externally. All garages must be set back a minimum of 0.9 metres from the building face. Commercial vehicles, boats, trailers and caravans must be screened from the public view ANCILLARY STRUCTURES AND FIXTURES Avoid external fixtures on houses that are visible to public areas in order to minimise negative visual impacts on adjoining residences and the streetscape. General elements to consider include; No signs or advertising hoardings are allowed other than those advertising the land or the house for sale. Builders and trade signs are permitted only during construction and must be removed upon completion Roof, wall and window mounted air conditioning units and evaporative cooling machinery must not be located to the front of dwellings, or in locations which are visible from public areas. They must be positioned below the ridgeline, to the middle of the roof and coloured to match the roof. Satellite dishes and antennae must not be visible from public view. Letter boxes should form part of the integrated landscape treatment of the front garden, and complement the house. Letterboxes should not dominate the streetscape. Fig 14: An example of good letterbox design Rubbish bins and other services are to be subtly integrated into the landscape environment behind screens. Clotheslines must be discretely located and are not to be visible from the public area or adjoining / nearby properties. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 14

15 Where solar hot water systems and photovoltaic cells are installed, they should be located to avoid being a dominant visual feature. Rainwater harvesting tanks and associated fixtures are to be located within the house structure, underground or to the side or rear of the house. Above ground tanks are to be of a colour that complements the dwelling and they should also be screened from public view. A garden shed (only one is permitted) of not more than 12 square metres in area and not more than 2.5 metres in roof height may be constructed, provided it is located behind the rear building face of the dwelling. All other storage areas should be integrated into the design of the house and garage, and should not be visible from public areas. Lonsdale Golf Club encourages the integration of all ancillary structures and fixtures within the overall design of the dwelling and the site COLOURS Colours are to be sympathetic to and draw inspiration from the local coastal environment. Brightly coloured finishes to external elements will not be permitted where they are visible from neighbouring properties or public spaces. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 15

16 5 LANDSCAPE The external areas of each lot should provide adequate open space for the private recreational use of dwelling occupants, as well as providing opportunities for the planting of canopy trees that contribute to the overall landscape character and environment. Garden areas are to contribute to and reinforce the coastal character of Point Lonsdale. Fig 15 & 16: Informal garden settings The landscape design for corner lots should address both the front and side streets. A landscape plan is to be submitted as part of the plans for review and approval by the LGCDRC. The plan should show the driveway, any paving, gravel, any grassed areas and garden beds. A plant schedule is to be included. Retaining walls should not be higher than 1 metre. 5.1 FRONT GARDENS Front gardens contribute significantly to the landscape character of a neighbourhood. Indigenous and native planting is to be the dominant streetscape feature of this development, and it is intended that this theme be carried into the private gardens to reinforce the preferred local coastal character of old Point Lonsdale. All street facing (e.g. front garden planting, planting forward of the front of the building façade, gardens on corner lots, gardens adjacent to public open space, etc.) must be native and/or indigenous with species selected from the Indicative Plant Schedule as set out in section 5.5 below. Species should be suited to the local environment, non-invasive and reinforce the coastal nature of Point Lonsdale. Residents are encouraged to plant indigenous and native vegetation that frame and integrate with the appearance of the built form within the property. Built form should be a subtle feature set within the overall landscape of the area, rather than dominating it. A minimum of 60% of the front landscape of the lot must be made up of permeable materials. The front garden shall be completed and established within 6 months of the completion of the dwelling to ensure that the overall presentation of the development is maintained to a high standard. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 16

17 Fig 17 & 18: Informal front gardens. Use of native species. 5.2 DRIVEWAYS AND CROSSOVERS Driveways, crossovers and paths are to be constructed of materials that blend with, or complement the local streetscape character, as well as the house design. Materials may be compacted gravel, shellgrit, granitic sand or exposed aggregate concrete ( Pebble Mix ) that are similar to the naturally occurring colours and textures of the local coastal environment. The objective is to ensure that crossovers and driveways are not visually dominant elements of the streetscape, but rather blend in with the overall environment. Consistent materials are preferable to ensure an integrated appearance rather than a diverse range of materials. Fig 19: Gravel driveway Fig 20: Exposed aggregate concrete / pebble mix The use of porous materials and permeable paving material on driveways and paths is strongly encouraged to help reduce stormwater runoff. Driveways on all lots are to be constructed a minimum of 0.5 metres from the side boundary to allow for planting along the length of pavement. This space for planting along the boundary will assist with reducing the visual impact of vast expanses of paving. Driveways width at the front boundary of the site is to be a maximum of 3.5 metres. Crossovers to the street are to have a maximum width of 3.5 metres. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 17

18 5.3 LANDSCAPE BUFFER Those lots along Fellows Road and Gill Road that have a 5 metre landscape buffer must include in this buffer, at least; 1 Moonah (Melaleuca lanceolata) 2 Coast Beard-Heath (Leucopogon parviflorus) The remainder of the landscape buffer planting shall be selected from the plant schedule. The planting of these species will ensure that the landscape buffer contributes in a positive way to the preferred landscape character of the new streets in Lonsdale Shores. 5.4 FENCING Fencing plays an important role in the general definition of a neighbourhood, and it defines the transition between public and private spaces. Lonsdale Golf Club does not provide fencing. Front Fences In order to maintain the open and natural character that is preferred in Point Lonsdale, front fences are discouraged in Lonsdale Shores. Property definition and privacy can be achieved through landscape elements, and any fencing should be integrated unobtrusively with the landscape. If fences are constructed forward of the dwelling they must be open wire or timber screen (permeable / with gaps) type with a maximum height of 1.2 metres. Side and Rear Fences Side and rear fences between residential lots should consider the following aspects; To boundaries behind the building facade, the height of fences must be no more than 1.9 metres in height. Visually permeable fences which can be integrated with indigenous and native vegetation to form inconspicuous boundaries are encouraged. Where solid fences are desired, (i.e. timber paling fences) they must have cappings. Natural materials which blend with the local landscape and native vegetation are considered the most suitable for this development. Metal clad fencing will not be approved Fencing adjoining Public Open Space Areas In the interest of improved passive surveillance where residential lots share a boundary with public open space, the boundary fence is required to be permeable (i.e. paling or picket fence with gaps no less than 20mm wide between each paling / picket, rural-style post and wire fencing or other to the satisfaction of the City of Greater Geelong). Metal clad fencing will not be approved. DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 18

19 Fig 21 & 22: Appropriate forms of fencing 5.5 INDICATIVE PLANT SCHEDULE A series of information sheets (Indigenous plants of the Geelong Region) has been prepared by the City of Greater Geelong to assist residents select the appropriate plant species for their property. The information sheets that are appropriate to Point Lonsdale are Indigenous Plants of the Geelong Region Zone 4; Lower Rear Dune Communities (Torquay to Point Lonsdale) and Zone 19; Coastal Zones of the Geelong Region. In addition, some other species that are appropriate for this coastal environment have been added to the plant schedule. No plants classified as environmental weeds are to be planted in private gardens. Refer to Appendix A: Lonsdale Shores Plant Species List DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 19

20 6 ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN INITIATIVES All dwellings are encouraged to adopt energy efficient design initiatives such as: Gas boosted solar hot water Locally selected materials Rainwater tanks for toilet flushing Shading to north windows Window openings for cross-ventilation Construction materials from a sustainable source such as plantation timber and recycled materials DESIGN GUIDELINES - June PAGE 20
