DESIGN ELEMENTS1 OVERVIEW + ASSESSMENT

|6| Austin Lakes Design Handbook |7|Austin Lakes Design Handbook

Before commencing construction, the WDRC will assess building plans to ensure that they conform to the Design Standards identified in the Austin Lakes Design Handbook.

The Design Approval Checklist (see section 7 of this Handbook) must be submitted along with floorplans and elevations to the WDRC. If the design complies, you will be notified by the WDRC of your application approval.

However, if an application is unsuccessful, the WDRC will provide you with guidance to refine and amend the design. Once this has been completed you will be required to re-submit your application and design.

Upon receiving approval from the WDRC, you are responsible for then obtaining building approval from the Local Council / independent Building Surveyor and/or any other governing authority.

Prior to construction, it will be the purchasers responsibility to ensure that the submitted documents comply with all relevant controls, such as:

• Restrictive Covenants found on the Certificate of Title; • Outline Development Plan - R-Code Variations and

Built Form Requirements; • Contracts of Sale; • Residential Design Codes; • Shire of Murray Town Planning Scheme; and • The Design Handbook.

In the event of any conflict arising between the Restrictive Covenants, Outline Development Plan, the Special Conditions within the Contract of Sale or the Design Handbook, the ranking in priority will be as follows:

1) Restrictive Covenants;2) Outline Development Plan - R-Code Variations and

Built Form Requirements;3) Residential Design Codes4) Special Conditions within the Contract of Sale; and5) Design Handbook.

1.3 Design Assessment Process

SIMPLESTEPS

1.2 Utilising the Design Handbook

The Austin Lakes Design Handbook contains specific requirements and recommendations to assist with the design of your home and outdoor areas.

Each category within the handbook is divided into three sections - Design Intent, Design Standards and Recommendations.

The Design Intent is at the beginning of each section and outlines the purpose of the Design Standards.

Extending from the intent are a number of mandatory requirements (Design Standards) that support the vision for this neighbourhood. These Standards must be incorporated into the design of your home in order to attain approval from the WDRC.

Helpful building and landscape tips in the form of Recommendations then make up the third element. An example has been provided below.

The WDRC is here to assist you and your builder through the Design Standard requirements.

We recommend that during the initial stages of design that you contact Wolfdene Design Review Committee to discuss the Design Handbook.

DESIGN INTENT

To help owners understand the purpose of each design element, we have provided a brief description. This should be used as a general guide for the design of your new home and landscaping.

DESIGN STANDARDS

1.1.1

These are mandatory design and constructioncontrols which must be complied with in order to receive approval from WDRC - prior to commencing construction of your home.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• These are guides to design and construction that have been developed by our design team to help you achieve the most comfortable, attractive and sustainable housing and landscape solutions.

The ‘Design Handbook’ has been produced by the Wolfdene Design Review Committee (WDRC) to protect the investment of our purchasers and achieve the optimum image for the project.

Architects, builders and landscapers play an essential role in bringing Wolfdene’s developments to life and helping us realise our community vision.

The advice provided to purchasers and the choices they make will define the character of the streets and contribute to the legacy of the neighbourhood as a whole.

The information contained in this document has been developed to ensure all stakeholders act in the best interests of the community during the design and build process.

2.2 Energy and Material Efficiency

DESIGN INTENTTo maximise the use of sustainable materials and appliances that contribute to thermal efficiency, and to incorporate energy efficient appliances and fixtures in your home.

DESIGN STANDARDS

2.2.1Your home must achieve a minimum 6 star energy efficiency rating as legislated by the Building Code of Australia.

2.2.2Thorough use of draught seals should be used throughout your home in order to draught-proof and reduce energy consumption.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• There are a range of energy monitoring products available to enable you to effectively understand, control and reduce the use of electrical energy. Smart sockets, intelligent intra-red AC controllers and shower-timers are encouraged in your home.

2.0 Energy + Sustainability

2.1 Site Orientation + Ventilation

DESIGN INTENT

To reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by heating and cooling through ensuring that your home is correctly sited and orientated, maximising the benefits of solar access. The correct location of your home on the lot will provide many advantages such as: • Energy efficient designs that will lead to reduced

resource consumption and therefore cost savings on your energy bills;

• Maximising quality solar access to external/internal living areas and private open space; and

• Maximising solar access during winter months and minimising solar access during the summer months.

DESIGN STANDARDS

2.1.1Orientate your home to capture prevailing breezes and utilise potential cross ventilation and passive cooling in the summer months.

2.1.2

Orientate your home to provide best solar access. Ensure your home and associated outdoor spaces are positioned on the lot in a manner that will enhance solar amenity of the primary living areas, both internal and external.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Provide natural cross ventilation by strategically placing windows to encourage the flow of breezes through the full extent of the room and home;

• Locate your living areas to maximise the solar aspect of your property;

• Install insect screens and door catches to enhance ventilation and insulation; and

• It is encouraged that your home design goes beyond the requirements necessary to comply with the energy efficiency rating standards. For more information & tips please visit www.yourhome.gov.au

2.3 Healthy Homes

DESIGN INTENTTo maximise the use of low toxicity products and to eliminate harmful chemicals from your home.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To eliminate using harmful chemicals in the construction of your home, you may consider some/all of the following options: • Low emission paints for both internal and external

painted surfaces; • The use of low emission sealants on internal and

external surfaces; • The use of low emission adhesives on internal and

external surfaces; and • The use of low emission floor coverings on indoor

covered floors.
