Building Bulk and Scale. 11.3.3.1 Details of building bulk and scale for the Site Development Plan should be provided as part of a Material Change of Use application for any building arising from Column 2 uses of Table 1 – Supplementary Table of Development – Precinct 6, of this document. The Material Change Of Use application should demonstrate the following: Avoid blank façade walls • ensure the length of a uniform elevational treatment visible to public road, streets or parks without variation or articulation is no more than 10m). Projecting planes of the façade and a stepped façade profile • Create variation in the plane of façades visible to public road, streets or parks through recessing and projecting areas or elements to create distinctive areas of solid and void. ❖ Each recessed area or projected area should be a minimum of 1.0m in depth and cover a minimum area of 3sqm. Recessing Lower Floors and rooflines • recess lower floors and incorporate colonnades or feature elements to create human scale in the building and further reinforce the street edge. Where colonnades or feature elements are used these should be located within the transitional zone setback 0-3m from the front property boundary and recessed areas of the main building form should be setback a minimum of 3m. Projecting building entry canopies • provide articulated building entrances to break up the building mass. Utilizing Screens, pergolas or awnings • create variation in the external materials to break up the façade by utilizing screens, pergolas, awnings or other materials.
Building Bulk and Scale. 11.6.1 Details of building bulk and scale should be provided as part of a Material Change of Use application. The Material Change of Use application should demonstrate the following: Building Mass ■ Buildings are to be located at places of highest activity or highest amenity. Avoid blank façade walls ■ Ensure the length of a uniform elevational treatment visible to public road, streets or parks without variation or articulation is no more than 15m. Projecting planes of the façade and a stepped façade profile ■ Create variation in the plane of façades visible to public road, streets or parks through recessing and projecting areas or elements. Recessing Lower Floors and rooflines ■ Incorporate colonnades or feature elements to create human scale in the building. Where colonnades or feature elements are used these should be located within the transitional zones. ■ The visual impact of extensive flat roofs, lift overruns, roof plant and other utilitarian elements on the roof are to be minimised and / or screened with a parapet or other architectural feature. Projecting building entry canopies ■ Provide articulated building entrances to break up the building mass. Plant and equipment ■ Air conditioning/ventilation plant and equipment located externally around buildings must be treated as an integral part of the building form and screened from view to match with surrounding materials; and ■ If satellite dishes are installed, they must be located in visually unobtrusive locations, preferably near screens to plant or services area. Where located on roofs, satellite dishes must be positioned to reduce visibility from the adjacent roads and public open space and, where practicable, located away from side walls, parapets or eave lines of buildings. Utilizing Screens, pergolas or awnings ■ Create variation in the external materials to break up the façade by utilizing screens, pergolas, awnings or other materials.
Building Bulk and Scale. 9.3.2.1 Details of building bulk and scale for the Site Development Plan should be provided as part of a Material Change of Use application for any building arising from Column 2 and 3 uses of Table 1 – Supplementary Table of Development – Precinct 13 of this document. The Material Change of Use application is to demonstrate the following:
