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.
Note: You can send approvals directly to [email protected]
Cedar Woods will review your application to ensure compliance. If your home design complies with the design standards, your plan will be approved and returned to you. If your house design requires changes in order to comply with the design requirements, Cedar Woods will provide written advice detailing the areas of non-compliance and return the application to your builder for amendment and resubmission. Cedar Woods and/or your builder may be able to suggest ways to ensure compliance.

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.
Overwatch Townhomes Additional Information
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.
Overwatch Townhomes Additional Information
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.

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
Overwatch Townhomes Additional Information
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

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.
