Environmentally Sensitive Designs and Materials. 3.1 Alternate Designs and Materials These Covenants contain building guidelines in Covenant 3.2 & 4 which must be complied with by the Buyer. However, the Seller encourages a range of housing design initiatives to improve the design sustainability and aesthetics of the Estate. To this end, the Seller may, in its total discretion, approve the use of alternate materials if the Seller is satisfied that the use will compliment the overall amenity of the Estate. In making its determination, the Seller will have particular regard for proposals by the Buyer which addresses use of all of the following: • generally, a high quality design that contributes to the visual amenity and streetscape of the Estate; • modern sub-tropical and energy efficient design; • environmentally sustainable features of solar water heating, water saving devices, grey water reticulation systems, rain water tanks etc; • enhancement of building elements for external walls, roofs and interior finishings; • sensitive site orientation and passive climate control via breeze ways and natural forms of ventilation and landscape; and • slope sensitive design which should minimise earthworks and include contemporary pole dwellings, concrete framed dwellings with suspended floors which overlay the natural contours and split level dwellings with suspended floors. The 80% brick cladding requirement in clause 3.2(a) may be relaxed for such designs in favour of other suitable treatments in the Seller’s total discretion.
