IntroductionPurpose of these Design Guidelines

These Design Guidelines are in place to encourage the best possible housing design outcomes and to reflect the project vision at Bushmead. Every lot purchaser is provided a copy of these Design Guidelines when signing their land contract. Please forward a copy to your builder/architect to ensure they are addressed in the design of your new home.

These Guidelines also reflect Cedar Woods’ commitment to deliver sustainable communities and will help reduce your home’s operating costs.

What happens first?

Decide on your builder, house type and facade. Ensure the builder has a copy of the Design Guidelines.

Complete the Building Design Approval Checklist with your builder as you review the house plans to ensure that all of the design requirements are addressed.

Have your builder send the completed (1) Builder Checklist (2) Site Plan (3) Elevations (4) Floor Plans (5) Electrical Plan (6) Material and Colour Schedule to Cedar Woods for design approval.

Fencing and Landscaping Cedar Woods provides front landscaping and side and rear fencing (excluding side gates or fencing between the house and side fence) to homes compliant with design guidelines and completed within 24 months from settlement.

The landscaping provided excludes any ‘hard’ landscaping materials such as paving, planter boxes, or ornamental features.

Construction Waste RecyclingRecycling and reuse of excess waste materials during construction is becoming common practice by many Perth building companies. We require the builder to use a construction waste management company to recycle a minimum of 80% of building waste on building sites within the Bushmead estate - refer page 17.

Soakwell Required Connections

Bushmead Estate provides a range of different lot specifications, reflective of the foothills environment. Design of your properties drainage system will vary depending on the particular specification of your lot. Your builder should consider all of the available information specific to your lot and design a drainage system that will perform appropriately.

Lots with Direct Drainage Property Connection Pits

Where a direct drainage property connection (pit) has been provided by Cedar Woods it is important properties use the connection for drainage. Soakwells are not permitted on lots with a direct property connection. If rainwater tanks are installed, overflow from the tanks must be connected to the pit.

Lots without Direct Drainage Property Connection Pits

If a direct drainage property connection (pit) is not available, then installation of soakwells is required. Soakwells must be installed as per the following:

• In accordance with the City of Swan guidelines.

• Calculation of soakwell storage capacity = 0.015Ac m3 (Where Ac is the connected impervious area in m2)

• Soakwells must be located at the front of the lot for optimal performance and management of higher intensity rainfall events

• Soakwells must be interconnected.

• Height of the soakwell units installed does not exceed 1.2 m.

• Soakwells must be backfilled with clean free draining sand.

• The roof catchment must be correctly distributed to the soakwells proportional to the capacity of each soakwell.

Property owners should be aware that it is normal for the capacity of the soakwells to be exceeded during infrequent (higher intensity) rainfall events. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure the soakwells are appropriately located to manage this, with the lowest overflow point in the system located at the front of the lot.

Overwatch Townhomes Additional Information

Cedar Woods encourages homes which

are efficient in energy and water. A home

which has good orientation, ventilation

and light will not only be more comfortable

to live in, but also cheaper to run in the

longer term.

These design standards work together

with Cedar Woods’ Sustainable Living

Guide to encourage you to make

smart choices to future-proof your

home and ensure that it holds its value.

The Sustainable Living Guide is found at

www.bushmead.com.au

The following criteria includes both

Requirements and Recommendations.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Thermal Performance

All residential dwellings are required to

address minimum energy efficiency

standards under the Building Codes of

Australia (BCA). This includes achieving a

minimum thermal performance rating

of 6 stars under the NatHERS (Nationwide

House Energy Rating Scheme)

Climate Responsive ‘Solar Passive’ Design

Designing for the local climate can

enhance occupant comfort through

passive design rather than relying solely on

mechanical heating and cooling. This in

turn will reduce running costs and have

a long term benefit to our environment.

Incorporating the following fundamental

design features will go a long way to

ensure you have an energy efficient home

that is also naturally comfortable.

Additionally, these design features will

support achieving and quite likely exceeding

a 6 star NatHERS rating.

REQUIREMENTS These are the mandatory sustainable design provisions which must be addressed in the design and construction of each building.

RECOMMENDATIONS These are optional elements which are included to show how you can achieve an even higher level of environmental sustainability.

Sustainable Design Requirements and Recommendations

REQUIREMENTS Consistent with BCA requirements, all dwellings to be certified to achieve a minimum 6 star NatHERS rating.

REQUIREMENTS North facing living • Orientation dependant is there a

minimum one main living area with a major opening to have a northern aspect (with the exception of lots facing NW to NE which may have the living space with an easterly or westerly aspect).

Shading • Orientation dependant East and West

facing rooms to be protected from summer sun. Suitable treatments may include: use of fixed shading devices such as eaves, awnings and/or performance rated (WERS) glazing.

RECOMMENDATION Room zoning • Ability to zone (close-off) separate use

areas for more efficient cooling and heating. Main use areas include – living, individual bedrooms and utility rooms.

Renewable Energy

Renewable Energy takes advantage of

natural systems, most commonly solar

radiation and wind, for the production of

electrical energy and water heating,

thereby greatly reducing greenhouse gas

emissions and household energy costs. A

1.5kW photovoltaic (PV) system produces

approximately 6-8kWh/day over a 12

month cycle, which can reduce average

household energy use by up to 50%.

A solar hot water system will further

reduce running costs and lower

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In Home Energy Efficiency – Fixtures and Appliances

Energy use within the home is a significant

contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. It

is also an increasing utility cost for the

home owner. Careful choice of fixtures and

appliances can assist in reducing both

energy bills and benefit the environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS Solar Energy • Photovoltaic system – minimum 2.0kW

OR

Water Heating • Solar water heater or heat pump

system.


REQUIREMENTS Lighting • CFL or LED lighting throughout. • Install motion sensors to outdoor lights

and or low-use rooms. (installing a min of 2 sensors). These can include front entry, garage and yard spaces, and internal rooms such as storage, pantry, walk-in-robes, hallways and toilets.

RECOMMENDATIONS Ceiling fans • Installed in main living areas and

bedrooms.

Cooking • Install gas or electric ceramic, halogen

or induction hot plate.

Appliances • Installation of high ‘Energy Rating’ rated

appliances including dishwasher with an energy consumption of ≤245kWH per year.

Peak Load Management

Peak load refers to the increased demand

for electricity mainly during peak summer

hours, generally between 3 – 8pm, which is

when families are at home using multiple

appliances, including air-conditioners,

computers and TVs. This ‘peak’ demand

adds significantly to greenhouse gas

output and places a high demand on the

electricity grid.

Strategies for peak load reduction in

residential homes include implementing

demand management through direct load

control devices fitted to fixtures and

appliances such as air conditioners and

pool pumps.

Water Efficiency and Conservation

Water Efficient Fixtures and Appliances

Perth is situated in dry climate zone with

limited rainfall and limited supplies of fresh

water. There are many things you can do to

reduce your water consumption in and

outside the home.

Water Re-use

Rainwater harvesting can be used to

achieve greater water efficiencies. The best

use of rainwater is to have the tank

plumbed directly to toilet flushing and for

cold water to the washing machine.

Rainwater can also be used to supplement

water heating and shower water.


RECOMMENDATIONS • Air-conditioners enabled with Direct Load Control plug-in feature

• Electronic ‘off-peak’ timer on automated garden reticulation systems, swimming pool and water features – if installed.

• In-home energy usage monitoring display.

RECOMMENDATIONS Waterwise Fixtures and Appliances • All tap fittings to a minimum 4 star

WELS rated• All shower fittings to be minimum 3 star

WELS rated 7.5L/min consumption• All toilets to a minimum 4 stars WELS

rated• Efficient – high WELS Rated –

appliances: washing machines and dishwashers

Swimming Pools • Fixed retractable pool cover – where

pool is installed.

RECOMMENDATIONS Waterwise Fixtures and Appliances • Rainwater tank installed and plumbed

directly to toilets and cold water laundry. − For large lots ≤R30: Tanks with ≥3,000 litre capacity

− For smaller cottage lots (≥R40): Tanks with ≥1,500 litre capacity.

OR

• Greywater diverter garden reticulation system installed to washing machine and/or showers.

• Dwellings are to be plumbed with appropriate pipework to be grey water reuse ‘ready’ and grey water diversion, filtration and pump system, and sub-surface irrigation pipework to be installed as per Department of Health requirements prior to occupation of the dwelling.

Waterwise Landscaping

All gardens in Bushmead are required to

be sustainably landscaped and conform to

waterwise garden principles. Sustainable

landscaping will require the planting of

indigenous plants which are native to the

local area. Cedar Woods as part of the

fencing and landscaping package will

provide Waterwise front landscaping;

however when planting the rear gardens,

the following applies:

Productive Gardens

Residential gardens provide an ideal

location for home-grown vegetable and

selected fruit varieties.

Local nurseries will provide free

landscaping advice and will advise on

plants which meet the criteria.

Reduction of Ground Level Hard Paving Area

The urban heat island effect can increase

ambient temperatures in urban areas.

Reducing the amount of hard paved

surfaces through a variety of soft and

permeable surfaces and providing shading

can reduce localised ambient heat and

create a more liveable environment.

Safe and Accessible HomesAustralia has an aging population which

means more people with mobility issues.

Sporting injuries and accidents may also

result in accessibility difficulties. Universal

design refers to buildings that are designed

and fitted-out to allow ease of access to all

people of all mobility’s and ages. There are

a number of simple design and fitout

features which if included allow ease of

access and use for people with physical

disabilities, mobility issues, the aged and

children.

RECOMMENDATIONS Waterwise plants • Waterwise native indigenous plants • 80% of residential landscaping is to

utilise waterwise species; and• 60% of plants are to be indigenous

species to the Perth Coastal Plain


RECOMMENDATIONS • Vegetable beds – with good access to winter sun

• Selected fruit trees – dwarf varieties best suited to coastal environments – e.g. lemon, lime, olive, avocado, guava

• 60% of plants are to be indigenous species to the Perth Coastal Plain

RECOMMENDATIONS • Reduction of hardstand areas through utilisation of natural soft and permeable pavement;

• Maximising vegetative cover and shading to paths and walls.

RECOMMENDATIONS • Level entry: One level entry in the home from road way – may be front door or via garage

• Internal doors with a min 820mm openings

• A ground level bathroom and toilet with easy access. Bathrooms should have minimum open internal flooring dimensions of at least 2300mm x 2000mm and toilet, a minimum internal flooring dimensions of at least 1600mm x 1000mm

• Hobless (step-free) shower recess• Semi-recessed basins to bathrooms• All door handles and light switches

positioned in a consistent location between 900 – 1100mm above the floor and should be lever type

• Power points installed not lower than 300mm above the floor.

Waste ManagementConstruction and household waste to

landfill is a major environmental concern

impacting on the ground, water and air

quality and native fauna. The more waste

diverted from landfill and into recycling will

be of benefit to the environment.

Construction Waste RecyclingRecycling and reuse of excess ‘waste’

materials during construction is

increasingly becoming common practice

by many of Perth building companies, and

there are a number of reputable waste

management recycling companies in

operation.

Waste management is also important to

maintain a healthy environment,

particularly given the rich bushland

surrounding your new home.
