Perfect place to build your dream home

Twin Waters Design Guidelines - October 2015 3

With a central public reserve, bus and walking paths that link the

community to the existing surrounding suburbs, this master planned

community, will be a lively hub for this region.

We have engaged the region’s leading builders to offer you the

greatest choice to build your stunning new home at Twin Waters. Your

builder should be aware of the following guidelines, however it is your

responsibility to ensure your new home will meet all requirements

within this document.

Why design guidelines?

These design guidelines are an important part of ensuring that Twin

Waters is a quality community where each property contributes to

the overall look and value of the neighbourhood. While every house

reflects the individual owner, a consistent approach to streetscapes

and the treatment of public areas of the community are all part of

protecting your investment and those of other residents. Specifically,

the design guidelines will help ensure each individual home:

• Compliments each other and contributes to an attractive streetscape

• Combines to create a neighbourhood character which improves and

protects the lifestyle and property values at Twin Waters

• Reflects and protects the quality and value of the land

Twin Waters Estate delivers a stunning new residential community to the South Coast. Nestled around the old Quarry, surrounded by the Worrigee Nature Reserve and a short distance to local amenities, it offers the perfect place to build your dream home.

Welcome to Twin Waters Estate

Twin Waters Design Guidelines - October 2015 4

Orientation & Siting

g Only one dwelling per lot is permitted on 95% of lots within the subdivision. Only the Developer has

permission to identify a lot as “suitable” for further subdivision. No other lots within the Estate have

permission to be further subdivided until 2023 or 10 years from purchase. Any subdivision would then be

subject to Shoalhaven City Council approval

g All lots within Twin Waters have required setbacks from their front and side boundaries, please refer to the

plan of subdivision (including the 88B Instrument and DCP#91 for specific building exclusion zones)

g There shall be no vehicular access directly between any lot and Old Southern Road or between any lot

and Quinns Lane

The Dwelling

g Your home design faces the primary street frontage, unless the lot has a smaller street frontage than

g The dwelling must have a covered entry feature such as a verandah, porch or portico that is visible from the

street. The front of the verandah, porch or portico feature must be forward of the garage building line. In general

the proportion of the entry porch should be wider than deeper to avoid a tunnel effect, particularly if the

porch is integrated into the design rather than a separate element. An entry feature verandah, porch or portico

that projects forward of the main building line is encouraged. (Note: - Please refer to Council DCP91 for setback

requirements)

g The external colour palette uses a combination of finishes and shades that are harmonious with the natural

landscape and streetscape
