32 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR STAGES 4 AND BEYOND - LOTS UNDER 250M2

introductionCONTROL THE CLIMATE IN YOUR HOMEIn the dry tropical Townsville climate, orientation and solar awareness is an important factor influencing the internal comfort in your home.

There are many things that you can incorporate into your home design to ensure your home will be cool in summer and warm in winter.

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING OR DESIGNING YOUR HOME INCLUDE:

• Locating your living areas such as dining, living and family rooms on the northern and eastern areas of your house and adjoining covered outdoor living areas for alfresco dining and relaxation

• Locating rooms that are used less often such as your bathrooms, laundry and garage on the hot western areas of your home

• Choosing light colours for your roof and external walls to reduce heat absorption, and incorporate wide eaves to provide shading and higher ceilings to increase ventilation through your home

• Reduce the cost and dependence on electric lighting and air conditioning by locating large windows on the northern and eastern walls and by choosing a home that has an open plan internal layout for maximum natural light and cross ventilation

• Plant shade trees in your garden and minimise areas of external hard surfaces like asphalt and concrete

• Install high quality ceiling fans throughout your home to reduce reliance on air conditioning. Installing a permanent fan in your outdoor living space will help your outdoor living space feel more comfortable in the summer

• Where possible, avoid building your home to the minimum setback lines to increase space between houses for breezes to flow through

• Consider building your home off the ground to bring cooling breezes beneath your home to bring relief to your house and backyard.

LIVE ON THE BEST STREETNorth Queensland has a unique architectural character suited to our climate. We would encourage your home be climatically responsive and adopt modern elements of the classic Queenslander home such as a front deck, Colorbond roof or external timber / lightweight cladding.

There are many elements you can incorporate into the design of your home that will ensure you will be contributing to a desirable street, which can improve the value of your home in the long term.

SUGGESTIONS TO CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE STREETSCAPE INCLUDE:

• Include articulation, multiple materials and colours in the design of the front of your home

• Select a palette of colours and materials complementary to your neighbours and the surrounding environment

• Utilise contemporary sun shading devices and window screens to create an architectural feature or focus

• Include a front balcony, deck or large windows to facilitate passive surveillance for a safe street. A front porch provides definition to the front of your home, provides weather protection at the front door and creates an opportunity for you to interact with ‘the street’

• Set your front garage behind living areas or shading with an overhead balcony to reduce the visual dominance of the garage to the street

• Select a driveway and letterbox that complements your home and is a simple and classic design.

When building your home you should aim to create a variety of outdoor spaces that complement your home and your lifestyle. Your side and rear yards should support functional uses and play and relaxation spaces. Your front yard should be attractive, encourage neighbourhood interaction and provide surveillance to the street.

SOME TIPS FOR LANDSCAPING YOUR HOME ARE:

• Clever landscaping and the positioning of shade trees in your front yard can greatly improve the aesthetics, value and comfort of your home

• By investing in mature trees and plants that are hardy and drought tolerant, you can quickly establish an attractive street presence for your home

• For a low maintenance front yard, establish garden beds that cover up to 50% of your front yard and limit turfed areas.

TO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES

Creating seamless connections between your indoor and outdoor living areas will

increase your living space.


planningLIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE HOMESustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in North Queensland homes as it reduces living costs and benefits the environment. At Bluewattle, we encourage you to incorporate as many sustainable elements into your home as possible.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE SUSTAINABLE INCLUDING:

• Install minimum 3 star WELS rated fittings and appliances to reduce household water consumption and save money on water and energy bills. This includes taps and shower heads, dishwashers and washing machines. More information can be found at waterrating.gov.au

• Install appliances with a high energy star rating. Installing hot water systems and energy efficient appliances with high energy star ratings will save you money by reducing energy consumption and running costs. More information can be found at energyrating.gov.au

• Install outdoor clothes drying areas

• Install energy efficient lighting in your home to minimise energy use and associated running costs. Installing low energy fluorescent lighting and the use of sensors and timers will help reduce your home’s energy use, save money and contribute to carbon pollution reduction

• Incorporate skylights in appropriate areas such as bathrooms and kitchens to increase natural light in your home during the day

• Install kitchen waste bins with designated sections to encourage separation of household waste for composting and recycling to help your home be more environmentally responsible.

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR HOMEAt Bluewattle, we are committed to creating an environmentally sensitive development that responds to the local environment. We urge you and your builder to be mindful of this through the construction phase.

There are many ways that you can ensure the construction of your home is environmentally responsible by asking your builder.

SOME OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:

• Request that your builder reduces and recycles as many waste materials as possible during the construction phase of your home to conserve materials and reduce landfill

• Ask your builder to be responsible with chemicals and to ensure they are always disposed of properly and do not end up in nearby waterways

• Be aware of erosion, sediment and dust from your home during construction. Builders are subject to an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan through Council to control run off and dust to protect the local air and waterways

• Encourage your builder to use local manufacturers and / or suppliers for building materials and supplies.

Once you’ve selected your home design you must submit your final working drawings and specifications to the Bluewattle Design Review Committee (BDRC) for approval.

The BDRC is in place to review every home design within Bluewattle to ensure consistent high quality homes across the community, protecting your investment.

The BDRC will review your design along with your material and colour selections and provide you with an approval to submit to a building certifier. The BDRC may ask you to revise your designs prior to issuing approval.

These Guidelines have been prepared to give you a starting point in selecting or designing your home. If you have a vision for your home that does not meet all areas of the Guidelines but addresses the desired character and vision for Bluewattle, the BDRC may approve your home on an individual basis.

THE APPROVAL PROCESS IS OUTLINED BELOW:

1 / PURCHASE LAND

2 / SELECT HOME

3 / SUBMIT TO BDRC

4 / INTERIM BDRC APPROVAL (10 WORKING DAYS)

5 / SUBMIT TO BUILDING CERTIFIER FOR APPROVAL

6 / BDRC APPROVAL TO COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION (CERTIFIED PLANS MUST BE SUPPLIED BEFORE FINAL APPROVAL IS GRANTED)

7 / CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES

• The front façade must contain a minimum of 30% alternate materials excluding the garage door

• The front façade must contain at least two colours. A selection of pre-approved colours can be found in the Bluewattle Design Palette

• All materials should be selected from the approved Bluewattle Design Palette (exceptions will be considered).

Homes must have a feature window or balcony facing the street from a habitable room.

SECONDARY FRONTAGES ON CORNER ALLOTMENTSHouses that have a secondary frontage to a street should present an interesting façade to the secondary frontage as well as the primary frontage. Where possible, non habitable rooms should not be located on the secondary frontage.

The secondary frontage should incorporate elements to provide interest to the façade including but not limited to:

• recessed or projecting balconies, porches or patios

• broken rooflines

• eaves / overhangs

• pergolas or canopies

• well proportioned windows

• shutters and sun shades where appropriate.

PARK FRONTAGE HOMESHomes with park frontages should present to the park and include an interesting and attractive façade. In combination with fencing treatments, park frontages should be designed to provide an attractive extension of the outdoor living area.

Homes should ideally integrate design treatments such as locating indoor and outdoor living areas on park frontages to enable casual surveillance over parks, adding to the security of the neighbourhood.

ROOFS, EAVES AND GUTTERINGROOFS

• Roofs should be light coloured. Pre-approved colours are provided in the Bluewattle Design Palette

• Roofs are to be finished in low profile /flat glazed concrete tiles, corrugated non-reflective zinc aluminium, or corrugated coloured metal roofing

• Pitched roofs (hip or gable) are to have a minimum pitch of 22.5 degrees

façadesAND FINISHES

Corner allotments are to present an interesting façade to the secondary frontage and high quality fencing that contributes to the streetscape.

Layering of materials and finishes in complementary colours creates an attractive front façade.

A light coloured roof will reflect the heat from the sun and help to keep your home cool.

Give your home a 'big hat'. Wide eaves will help keep your home cool by shading it from the hot afternoon sun.


• Elevated homes should include screening to their under storey (eg. timber battened screening)

• Materials and colours used for screening should be complementary to the front façade

• Honeycomb-style security screens are not preferred on front façade doors and windows. Where honeycomb-style security screens are proposed, they may be used in a black finish.

GARAGES AND DRIVEWAYS• All garages must be stepped back 2.0m from

the main building line on the front façade except for laneway allotments

• Where a garage is proposed forward of the main building line it must be constructed from light weight materials and have appropriate articulation to the satisfaction of the BDRC

• Garages on laneway allotments must be set back 0.5m from the rear boundary in accordance with the Setback Table

• All garage doors are to be sectional or battened and consistent with the Bluewattle Design Palette

• Driveway crossovers are to comply with the local authority regulations.

• Modern and contemporary roof forms are encouraged with varying roof pitches for skillion roofs, however a minimum of 7 degrees for the primary pitch is required

• Parapet roof details to the front façade are acceptable.

EAVES

• A minimum of 600mm eaves / overhangs are to be provided to the front façade

• On lots with frontages greater than 11.0m, 80% of the total fascia excluding built to the boundary alignments are to have minimum 600mm eaves

• Where less than 600mm eaves are proposed, shade structures and / or awnings are to be provided to all windows

• On lots with frontages less than or equal to 11.0m, 80% of the total fascia excluding built to the boundary alignments are to have minimum 300mm eaves.

GUTTERING

• All guttering that is visible from the street is to be of a similar or complementary colour to the roof

• All downpipes visible from the street should be colour matched to the façade

• No external plumbing, excluding downpipes, should be visible from the street unless screened appropriately.

PORCHES AND STAIRS• A functional porch or articulated entry

under the proposed roof line is required. The minimum area of the entry is 4.0m² and the minimum width of a porch or veranda is 1.6m

• Any stairs visible from the street should complement the front façade and be constructed from materials from the Bluewattle Design Palettes.

WINDOWS AND SCREENING• All side and rear ground floor openings and

windows are to be screened by a fence or dense planting to 1.8m

• All first floor windows closer than 2.0m to the boundary and overlooking an existing or proposed adjoining window are to be screened

• All exterior screens should be constructed from a low maintenance material and facilitate breeze access

Example of suitable screening for exterior windows on second storey. Screening complements the overall design.

Honeycomb-style security screens in a black finish are acceptable. Garage is setback behind front building setback as per the Bluewattle Setback Table.

Front porch is to be consistent within the main roof line of the home.

Using light colours on your roof and external walls will reflect the sun and help reduce heat to your home in summer.

A contemporary, natural and semi-transparent screen will provide attractive sun shading on west facing windows.


LANDSCAPING• Front yard landscaping will need to be

completed within 12 weeks of practical completion of your home

• Turf, garden beds and a shade tree should be planted in your front yard to help keep your home cool and contribute to the overall street appeal
