1.1 Introduction

We’re offering a front garden landscape rebate to residential land purchasers who buy in Januburu Estate, subject to certain preconditions within your contract for the purchase of your land, and the guidelines contained in this document.

Our front garden rebate scheme is designed to encourage sustainable, waterwise and local native front gardens, and provide purchasers with the basic foundations to create such a garden. The scheme also aims to reduce garden water consumption while providing an attractive landscaped treatment and helping control stormwater run off. This can be achieved through the use of specific plant types, dripper irrigation and thick mulch layers.

The landscape rebate typically refunds the cost of installation of an irrigation dripper system and controller, tube stock sized ground covers and low shrubs, mulch and a mature street tree.

These guidelines should be read in conjunction with the SKIPA guide to planting a waterwise garden (complimentary copies available from the LandCorp Broome office).

Eligibility for the rebate to a maximum value of $6,200 including GST for standard lots and $7,000 including GST for corner lots, is dependent on the landowner undertaking the landscape works in accordance with the requirements of the Broome North Front Garden Design Guidelines.

The landowner will be responsible for undertaking the front yard and verge landscaping works themselves or employing a contractor directly, and must follow these guidelines. Front garden landscaping which does not follow these guidelines may not be eligible for any rebate.

Requirements

To qualify for the landscape rebate the purchaser must fulfil the following requirements:

1 Have purchased residential land within the Broome North or Januburu Six Seasons estates from LandCorp and completed a house within 36 months of settlement

2 Have nominated metered water and power services to the front of the lot installed specifically for the landscape works. All pipe work shall be accurately located for future reference on site by the builder or owner. Landowners shall also have their builder install an external weatherproof power point to the front of the building for the irrigation controller. The landowner’s plumber shall install a 20mm Water Authority

approved gate valve one metre from the lot water meter. A backflow prevention device installed by a certified plumber is required for connection to scheme water.

3 Have a 150mm diameter PVC irrigation duct (or alternatively two 90 mm PVC ducts) installed under the driveway within the private lot (not within the verge). This allows irrigation to occur to landscape areas on both sides of your driveway.

4 Install landscaping in accordance with the guiding principles set out in this document and the SKIPAs guide to planting a waterwise garden (complimentary copies available from LandCorp Broome’s office).

5 Verge planting is to be in accordance with the Shire of Broome’s Verge Treatment policy (available at www.broome.wa.gov.au).

Rebate claim process

1 Upon completion of the landscape works, the landowner is to complete the certification form and forward to LandCorp’s nominated project manager with copies of receipts and invoices.

2 The project manager will inspect the works and certify that the works comply with the Guidelines and the landowner is eligible for the rebate to be paid.

3 Upon satisfactory certification LandCorp will issue a rebate cheque to the landowner.

1.3 Sustainable Guidelines & Objectives

The rebate scheme is designed to encourage sustainable planting which reflects the local environment. The streetscapes and public open spaces have already been designed with this concept in mind and can be used to inform designs for front gardens.

Native plant lists have been distributed to local wholesalers (details in the SKIPA guide) for ongoing supply. The use of local planting and materials will assist to create landscapes that are easier to establish, will favour waterwise principles and aid in promoting a local Broome characterand‘senseofplace’.

Additional information on the estate design and landscaping is contained within the Design Guidelines for the estate (available from www.landcorp.com.au/januburusixseasons and contained in your contract of sale).

The following should be considered when designing your garden:

1. Landscape should subsist on or close to local precipitation rateswithregardtowaterusage,ie.be‘waterwise’;

2. Landscape plant species are to be selected for their relationship toplaceandcharacter;

3. Landscapes can be productive while providing aesthetic qualities i.e. shade, shelter, privacy, framing of space and architecture, focal points, provide food, area for outdoor passiveandactiverequirements,i.e.outdoorliving;

4. Landscape species must be native, suitable to the region and notincludegardenescapeweedvarieties;

5. Lawn is appropriate to be used at a minimum and must not exceed20%oftheoutdoorlotarea.Organicorgravelmulchescanbeusedasanalternative;

6. Irrigation is to be automated with a minimum six station controller and constructed to the appropriate residential standard. The system must be designed specific to plantings requirements and include water saving features, such as drippers and rain off sensors. PVC from mainline to manifold is required and then poly pipe is adequate for the rest of the system. Irrigation may consist of dripper or subsurface delivery withminimaluseofsprays;

7. Provide as much permeable surface as possible and include drainage options i.e. dry creek bed features, swales, retention and overflow areas, etc.

2. LANdScApE StyLES GUIdE

2.1 three types of Local Garden Styles

As there are numerous housing styles and preferences so there are many landscape styles. Several of these styles can be successfully implemented in Broome and an outline of three basic garden styles to help describe and encourage the use of local planting and materials hasbeenpreparedasfollows;

the Bush Garden;

the Formal/cottage Garden; and,

the Feature Garden.

Each Style has a unique feel and aesthetic quality, however they can all use similar planting and material pallets.

the following styles are intended as a guide for lot owners and landscaping contractors. Factors such as climate, lot orientation, architecture styles, residents’ and contractors’ input will shape individual gardens.

9

2.1.1 the Bush Garden

The Bush Garden takes on a more informal appearance than the other two styles but is not any less intricate in its design or planning.

The Formal/Cottage Garden allows for the following opportunities:

- Featureshadetrees,protectionandframingofresidence;

- Formal/cottagesettingtomatchresidentialcharacter/style;

- Providerowsofplantingwithdifferentheights,foliageandflowercolour(seasonalflowering);

The Feature Garden allows for the following opportunities:

- Feature shade trees, protection and framing of views into thegardenspace;
