1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

The principle aim of these design guidelines is to set out a vision for Lonsdale Shores that maintains and enhances the inherent qualities of old Point Lonsdale. The quality ‘feel’ of the existing township, created by a delicate balance between the natural coastal and built form heritage, is the unique feature that makes Point Lonsdale an extremely popular place to live and to visit.

There are a variety of elements that contribute to the ‘look and feel’ of old Point Lonsdale. The most significant elements are those that are linked to the physical appearance; the vegetation and the land forms. The character of the residential houses and how they nestle within the coastal vegetation is also a strong determinant of the inherent attraction of the township as a place to live.

The objective of maintaining and enhancing the character of Point Lonsdale will be achieved in part by these design guidelines. These guidelines are designed to integrate and enhance the new residential development at Lonsdale Shores with the existing township. They will assist with the design of houses and landscaped areas to ensure that these elements contribute in a positive manner to the overall preferred character of the township.

The Design Guidelines are intended to encourage residential development that enhances the amenity and attractiveness of both the public and the private domain for the benefit of residents and for their visitors. By following the design guidelines, each purchaser will help to contribute to an attractive living environment that enhances the character of the properties at Lonsdale Shores.

1.2 THEVALUEOFGOODDESIGN

Individual houses should contribute to the character that attracted you to Point Lonsdale – not detract from the amenity and experience. The objective is to present a coherent residential image that is right for the ‘place’ – a coastal township as distinct from a metropolitan, suburban image.

Good design also addresses sustainability issues – particularly energy consumption and overall comfort levels.

Consideration is to be given to the positive advantages to be gained from appropriate siting of the house on an allotment, taking account of the aspect, surroundings, existing and proposed vegetation as well as generous setbacks and height controls to prevent overlooking and assist with privacy.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to adopt custom design through the use of an architect, building designer or a builder who utilises custom design.

1.3 OPERATION

The Design Guidelines will assist purchasers, designers and builders prepare house designs that take optimum advantage of the local setting, climate and coastal lifestyle opportunities.

Purchasers, designers and builders must be aware of the Design Guidelines and the approval process so that they are given full consideration and incorporated into the built form.

These guidelines have consideration for the City of Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, the Victorian Building Regulations and the Borough of Queenscliffe’s Building Siting and Design Guidelines – Point Lonsdale Natural Coastal Area.

2 APPROVAL PROCESS

The steps outlined below describe the process for each purchaser to follow in order to design and construct a house at Lonsdale Shores.

Compliance is achieved by a restriction on title. The governing body is the Lonsdale Golf Club Design Review Committee (LGCDRC).

The Building and Landscape Design Guidelines form part of the approval by the City of Greater Geelong of the Lonsdale Golf Club Residential Subdivision under Schedule 26 to the Development Plan Overlay.

The DRC reserves the right to vary the provisions of these guidelines to accommodate proposals which exhibit design merit.

Any decisions made by the Design Review Committee in respect of the design plans will be final and binding.

STEP 1 INVESTIGATION & FAMILIARIZATION

Applicants are encouraged to investigate the old Point Lonsdale area to gain an understanding of the types of architecture and landscape materials that contribute in a positive manner to the local character.

The Club recommends that purchasers meet with the LGCDRC prior to commencing design work to review the approval process and the objectives set out in the Design Guidelines.

STEP 2 DESIGN

The vision and objectives set out in these guidelines must be appropriately considered during the preparation of the house and landscape design.

Designs must also comply with applicable planning schemes and building regulations.

STEP 3 APPLICATION

The Contract Conditions require purchasers of land at Lonsdale Shores, to submit drawings and other relevant information to the LGCDRC for assessment and approval prior to finalising construction documents and lodging a building permit application.

Design Approval Application Forms and Check Lists setting out the documents required can be obtained from the website www.lonsdaleshores.com.au or the following links:

• Design Approval Application Forms• Design Review Check List

(Electronic Submissions are preferred.)



STEP 3(continued)

The purchaser must not erect any buildings or undertake other works on the lot unless the plans for such buildings or works and any associated landscaping have been endorsed by the LGCDRC prior to the issue of a building permit.

An Application Fee is payable upon submission of documents. Amendments to approved designs may incur further fees.

STEP 4 LONSDALE SHORES APPROVAL

LGCDRC will assess the application based on the information supplied and the Design Guidelines contained within this document.

If a design is not approved, the applicant will be required to address the areas of concern highlighted by the LGCDRC and submit amended plans. Further information if required, will be requested in writing.

Approved plans will be endorsed by the LGCDRC and returned with a letter of approval within 15 working days of receipt of all documents and being in accordance with the Design Guidelines

The LGCDRC will endeavour to work with the land owner to assist in the fast approval of an application. A suitable or complying application will be granted approval to proceed, upon which, the owner and builder can then commence construction documentation for a Building Permit application.

STEP 5 BUILDING APPROVAL

Obtain a Building Permit from an approved building surveyor or from the City of Greater Geelong

Important note;The approval of a design application by the LGCDRC does not exempt the owner/applicant from any statutory or building regulations. Approval of plans by the LGCDRC does not infer compliance under the Building Code of Australia, Rescode or any other applicable planning or building regulations. It is the responsibility of the owner and builder to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations.

STEP 6 CONSTRUCTION

Once a Building Permit has been obtained, construction of the new house may begin.




3 SITING AND ORIENTATION

The siting and layout of the house & garage on a lot is one of the most critical factors in designing a new home that contributes positively to neighbourhood character and livability;

• It ensures the best visual presentation to the street.

• Efficient relationships between indoor and outdoor spaces can be achieved to maximise lifestyle amenity.

• Overlooking, privacy and amenity of neighbours can be dealt with effectively.

• Maximises the benefits of solar access.

• Promotes energy efficiency. Living spaces should maximise the opportunities afforded by the prevailing environmental conditions. This will ensure that energy savings are realised and positive environmental outcomes are achieved.

• Retaining walls should not be higher than 1 metre.

3.1 LAND USE

Only a single dwelling may be built per allotment. Dual occupancy and further subdivision is not permitted.

This does not apply to those lots identified by the Lonsdale Golf Club as medium density lots.

3.2 SITECOVERAGE

The area of the building footprint shall not exceed 55% of the lot area for single storey dwellings and 50% of the lot area for 2 storey dwellings.

Residents should consider the use of permeable materials for external spaces to increase rain infiltration and reduce stormwater runoff. To achieve this objective, the site area covered by buildings and non-permeable surfaces shall not exceed 70% of the lot area. In other words, at least 30% of the site must have a permeable surface.

A minimum of 60% of the front landscape of the lot must be made up of permeable materials.

3.3 HOUSESITINGANDORIENTATION

Houses must face the street frontage and present an identifiable entry point.

Where possible, houses are to be planned so that habitable rooms especially living areas face towards the north for maximum solar access.

Private open space and courtyards are to be positioned on the north side of the dwelling where possible.



3.4 BUILDING SETBACKS

Setbacks are used to help guide appropriate development outcomes. They are applied to help achieve minimal impact on the amenity of neighbouring dwellings, particularly from overshadowing and overlooking.

Siting the house and garage;

• Generally, the house facade must be set back a minimum of 5 metres from the front boundary. Where lots front onto Fellows Road and Gill Road and where the road reserve has been widened by 5 metres, the set back shall be a minimum of 5 metres. For lots that front onto Fellows Road and Gill Road where the road reserve has not been widened, the set back shall be a minimum of 7 metres.

• On lots with more than one street frontage, or with frontage to an open space reserve, buildings must be set back a minimum of 2 metres from the side boundary.

• Garages must be set back a minimum of 0.9 metres behind the building face.

• On lots more than 600m2 all buildings must be set back a minimum of 1 metre from a side boundary adjoining another residential lot.

• On lots up to 600m2 buildings may abut one boundary for a maximum of 30% of the length of that boundary.

• A rear wall of a building less than 3.6 metres in height must be set back from the rear boundary by a minimum of 3.5 metres.

• A rear wall of a building exceeding 3.6 metres in height must be set back from the rear boundary by a minimum of 4.5 metres, plus 0.3 metres for every metre in height over 3.6 metres up to 6.9 metres, plus 1 metre for every metre of height to a maximum of 8 metres.

• On lots which have a common boundary with lots in Diggora Court, Kelsey Court and Warwick Hill Drive, no building, outbuilding or encroachment will be permitted within 5 meters of such common boundary.

• Unless specified otherwise the side boundary setbacks shall be 1 metre, plus 0.3 metres for every metre in height over 3.6 metres up to 6.9 meters, plus 1 metre for every metre of height up to a maximum of 8 metres.

Refer to the Setback Diagrams on the following page.

Encroachments into setback zones;

Allowable encroachments include;

• Verandahs, porticos and balconies can encroach up to 1.2 metres into the front setback

• Eaves not exceeding 600mm in total depth can encroach beyond the approved setbacks only where a 400mm gap is retained between the eaves facia and the boundary

• Water tanks may encroach into side and rear setbacks.

3.5 HOUSESOFSIMILARAPPEARANCE

The DRC reserves the right to refuse house types, roof types and facades of similar appearance within 3 lots of each other and within 3 lots of the lot directly opposite the proposed house.



4 BUILT FORM

4.1 INTRODUCTION

House design is an important factor that determines the character of a neighbourhood. New houses that are constructed at Lonsdale Shores should add to the inherent local character that makes the coastal township an attractive place to live. A high level of architectural design and innovation is required to ensure that the best outcomes are achieved for all who live here.

The local environment is the key feature, and the built form should draw inspiration from the natural coastal setting and seek to be integrated with this through sympathetic design form and colours.

A contemporary design aesthetic is preferred. Replica period architectural styles will not be approved unless they reflect local coastal designs.

4.2 DESIGN PRINCIPLES

The key features to be considered in the design of residential houses are described in 4.3 to 4.11 below.

4.3 BUILDINGMASS

Building scale and proportion play an important role in setting neighbourhood character. It is important that house size relates to the environmental and human scale to avoid the presentation of an overwhelming built form.

All house designs are to consider the proportions of the lot, neighbouring houses and the natural features of the site, including vegetation and topography. Building mass should seek to be integrated with the form and scale of the local environment, creating a neighbourhood character where dwellings are nestled within the landscape.

Fig 5: This is an example of a new house that has not considered its context in the streetscape




4.4 STREETFRONTAGE

It is important that houses address the street, and the entry point is clearly identifiable from the street. Engaging, attractive and interactive front entries should be glimpsed in views framed by native vegetation within the front garden of lots.

Fig 6: Identifiable entry from the street Fig7:Passivesurveillancethroughbalconies/porches

House facades are improved by the addition of details such as;

• Verandahs, porches and balconies

• Eaves

• Windows

• Entry features

These elements not only act as interesting architectural features, but also provide opportunities for passive surveillance of streets and houses, and social connection with neighbours. They also provide a strong sense of arrival and an effective transition from the public to the private realm.

4.5 BUILDING HEIGHTS

Dwellings must not exceed a maximum height of two storeys, with a maximum height of eight (8) metres above natural ground level. Elements such as chimneys may be permitted above this level.

4.6 EXTERNALWALLS/FACADEARTICULATION

Diversity in the front facade and external walls of houses adds to visual interest and the character of the neighbourhood. This can be achieved by articulation of external walls, colour, materials and texture. These elements should reflect the local coastal environment.

The preferred materials for external walls include a complementary combination of materials selected from the following;

• Painted weatherboard cladding

• Natural timber

• Rendered, bagged or painted brickwork

• Natural stone



Fig 8: Painted weatherboard cladding Fig 9: Rammed earth

Fig 10: Example of articulated roof shapes

• Rammed earth

• Face brickwork used as features

• Glazing / windows

Brightly coloured finishes to external walls, especially the street facade, will not be permitted. Refer to Section 4.11; Colours, for guidelines about colour selection.

Extensive, continuous and sheer double storey walls are to be avoided. Articulation of high walls by a change in plane, feature, and / or mixture of materials are to be considered to avoid elements that have a dominating and monolithic appearance.

4.7 WINDOWS

Windows reduce the impact of the built form in the landscape and are encouraged for building facades which are visible from public areas. Glazing should form an integral component of the architectural design of the house, and provide a connection between the indoor and outdoor environments to reinforce the natural landscape setting.

4.8 ROOFFORMANDMATERIALS

The roof form determines the overall aesthetic of a dwelling to a large degree, and it can be used to reinforce the preferred local coastal character. Articulated roof shapes such as flat or skillion are preferred, but gable and hip roofs are acceptable.




Roof design, colour and type of material are important to the appearance of dwellings and their contribution to local streetscapes. Pitch and form should be in proportion with the overall house design and relate to the local context and streetscape character.

Where eaves are provided, they must be a minimum depth of 450mm.

The preferred roofing material is colorbond steel.

Tile roofs will not be approved.

Reflective roofing will not be approved.

4.9 GARAGES AND CAR PARKING

To reduce the dominance of garages and vehicles in the streetscape character, the design and location of garages and car ports must endeavour to make them an integral and unobtrusive part of the dwelling. This can be achieved by the use of complementary building materials, form and colour.

Fig 12: Complementary form to garaging Fig 13: Lightweight car port

The design and appearance of garage doors should be integrated with the house design.

Where garages are not attached to the house, they should be constructed of the same materials as the house. Covered links to the main house may be provided if the character and design complements the main house design.

Fig 11: Example of articulated roof shapes



The width of a garage / carport must not exceed 50% of the total house facade width and be no more than 7 metres wide externally.

All garages must be set back a minimum of 0.9 metres from the building face.

Commercial vehicles, boats, trailers and caravans must be screened from the public view.

4.10 ANCILLARY STRUCTURES AND FIXTURES

Avoid external fixtures on houses that are visible to public areas in order to minimise negative visual impacts on adjoining residences and the streetscape.

General elements to consider include;

• No signs or advertising hoardings are allowed other than those advertising the land or the house for sale.

• Builders and trade signs are permitted only during construction and must be removed upon completion

• Roof, wall and window mounted air conditioning units and evaporative cooling machinery must not be located to the front of dwellings, or in locations which are visible from public areas. They must be positioned below the ridgeline, to the middle of the roof and coloured to match the roof.

• Satellite dishes and antennae must not be visible from public view.

• Letter boxes should form part of the integrated landscape treatment of the front garden, and complement the house. Letterboxes should not dominate the streetscape.

• Rubbish bins and other services are to be subtly integrated into the landscape environment behind screens.

• Clotheslines must be discretely located and are not to be visible from the public area or adjoining / nearby properties.

Fig 14: An example of good letterbox design




• Where solar hot water systems and photovoltaic cells are installed, they should be located to avoid being a dominant visual feature.

• Rainwater harvesting tanks and associated fixtures are to be located within the house structure, underground or to the side or rear of the house. Above ground tanks are to be of a colour that complements the dwelling and they should also be screened from public view.

• A garden shed (only one is permitted) of not more than 12 square metres in area and not more than 2.5 metres in roof height may be constructed, provided it is located behind the rear building face of the dwelling.

• All other storage areas should be integrated into the design of the house and garage, and should not be visible from public areas.

Lonsdale Golf Club encourages the integration of all ancillary structures and fixtures within the overall design of the dwelling and the site.

4.11 COLOURS

Colours are to be sympathetic to and draw inspiration from the local coastal environment.

Brightly coloured finishes to external elements will not be permitted where they are visible from neighbouring properties or public spaces.



5 LANDSCAPE

Terminology:

Indigenous: Plant species that occur or would have occurred naturally in or near Point Lonsdale specifically (refer Appendix B)

Native: Plant species that naturally occur or would have occurred in Australia (refer Appendix C)

Exotic: Other plant species, neither indigenous nor native.

The external areas of each lot should provide adequate open space for the private recreational use of dwelling occupants, as well as providing opportunities for the planting of canopy trees that contribute to the overall landscape character and environment.

Garden areas are to contribute to and reinforce the coastal character of Point Lonsdale.

Fig 15 & 16: Informal garden settings

The landscape design for corner lots must address both the front and side streets. A landscape plan is to be submitted as part of the plans for review and approval by the LGCDRC. The plan must show the driveway, any paving, gravel, any grassed areas and garden beds. A plant schedule is to be included.

Retaining walls must not be higher than 1 metre unless otherwise approved in writing by LGCDRC.

An example landscape concept plan suitable for design review submission has been included in Appendix E to assist residents in the preparation of their landscape plan. The example shows the minimum requirements of the landscape plan suitable for design review.

5.1 FRONTGARDENS

Front gardens contribute significantly to the landscape character of a neighbourhood. Indigenous planting is to be the dominant streetscape feature of this development, this theme is to be carried into the private gardens to reinforce the preferred local coastal character of Point Lonsdale. All street facing landscapes areas (e.g. front garden planting, planting forward of the front of the building façade, gardens on corner lots, gardens adjacent to public open space, etc.) must be planted out with at least 60% Indigenous species and selected from the ‘Lonsdale Shores Indigenous Plant Species List’ (Appendix B) as set out in section 5.5 below. Native species may also be included but must not exceed 40% of the total number of plants and are to be selected from the ‘Lonsdale Shores Native Plant Species List’ (Appendix C) as set out in section 5.5 below. These species have been selected as they are best suited to the local environment, non-invasive and reinforce the coastal nature of Point Lonsdale.




Residents are encouraged to select plant species from these lists that frame and integrate with the appearance of the built form within the property. The built form should be a subtle feature set within the overall landscape, rather than dominating it.

A minimum of 60% of the front landscape of the lot must be made up of permeable materials. The front garden shall be completed and established within 6 months of the completion of the dwelling to ensure that the overall presentation of the development is maintained to a high standard.

Fig 17 & 18: Informal front gardens. Use of native species.

5.2 DRIVEWAYSANDCROSSOVERS

Driveways, crossovers and paths are to be constructed of materials that blend with, or complement the local streetscape character, as well as the house design. Materials may be compacted gravel, shellgrit, granitic sand or exposed aggregate concrete (‘Pebble Mix’) that are similar to the naturally occurring colours and textures of the local coastal environment.

The objective is to ensure that crossovers and driveways are not visually dominant elements of the streetscape, but rather blend in with the overall environment. Consistent materials are preferable to ensure an integrated appearance – rather than a diverse range of materials.

Fig 19: Gravel driveway Fig20:Exposedaggregateconcrete/‘pebblemix’ The use of porous materials and permeable paving material on driveways and paths is strongly encouraged to help reduce stormwater runoff.



Driveways on all lots are to be constructed a minimum of 0.5 metres from the side boundary to allow for planting along the length of pavement. This space for planting along the boundary will assist with reducing the visual impact of vast expanses of paving.

Driveways width at the front boundary of the site is to be a maximum of 3.5 metres.

Crossovers to the street are to have a maximum width of 3.5 metres.

5.3 LANDSCAPEBUFFER/TREEPROTECTIONZONE/NOBUILDINGZONE

There are a number of lots on Gill Rd and Fellows Rd that have a 5 metre wide front landscape buffer. All lots on the northern boundary of the development have a 5 metre landscape buffer at the rear of the lot. All landscape buffers must not be built on and must be planted with, at least;

1. Moonah (Melaleuca lanceolata) 2. Coast Beard-Heath (Leucopogon parviflorus)

The remainder of the landscape buffer planting must be selected from the provided Indigenous and Native Plant Lists (Appendix B or C) and as set out in section 5.5 below.

The planting of these species will ensure that the landscape buffer contributes in a positive way to the preferred landscape character of the new streets in Lonsdale Shores.

Any existing trees within these landscape buffers must be retained. Any tree that is dead or dying must be replaced with an advanced specimen of Moonah (Melaleuca lanceolata). The replacement specimen and maintenance will be at the cost of the landowner.

5.4 FENCING

Fencing plays an important role in the general definition of a neighbourhood, and it defines the transition between public and private spaces. Lonsdale Golf Club does not provide fencing.

Front Fences

In order to maintain the open and natural character that is preferred in Point Lonsdale, front fences are discouraged in Lonsdale Shores. Property definition and privacy can be achieved through landscape elements, and any fencing should be integrated unobtrusively with the landscape. If fences are constructed on the front boundary they must be open wire or timber screen (permeable / with gaps) type with a maximum height of 1.2 metres. An image of an appropriate fence type has been included on the example landscape concept design in Appendix E.

Side and Rear Fences

Side and rear fences between residential lots should consider the following aspects;

• To boundaries behind the building facade, the height of fences must be no more than 1.9 metres in height.

• Forward of the building façade the height of fences must be no more than 1.2 metres except that the fence may slope down to 1.2 metres within 1.5 metres of the building façade.

• Visually permeable fences which can be integrated with indigenous and native vegetation to form inconspicuous boundaries are encouraged.

• Where solid fences are desired, (i.e. timber paling fences) they must have cappings.




• Natural materials which blend with the local landscape and native vegetation are considered the most suitable for this development.

• Metal clad fencing will not be approved.

FencingadjoiningPublicOpenSpaceAreas

In the interest of improved passive surveillance where residential lots share a boundary with public open space, including side fences on corner lots, the boundary fence is required to be permeable (i.e. paling or picket fence with gaps no less than 20mm wide between each paling / picket, rural-style post and wire fencing or other to the satisfaction of the City of Greater Geelong).

Metal clad fencing will not be approved.

5.5 PLANT PALETTE

NOTE:Residentsareadvisedtoensuretheir landscapedesign is inaccordancewiththeVictorianBuildingAuthoritydocumentfor‘Minimisingfoundationmovementanddamagetoyourhouse’August2015.-www.vba.vic.gov.au

A list of Indigenous Plants (Appendix B) has been compiled from a series of information sheets (Indigenous plants of the Geelong Region) that has been prepared by the City of Greater Geelong to assist residents to select the appropriate plant species for their property. The information sheets that are appropriate to Point Lonsdale are ‘Indigenous Plants of the Geelong Region’ Zone 4; Lower Rear Dune Communities (Torquay to Point Lonsdale) and Zone 19; Coastal Zones of the Geelong Region.

At least 60% of the plants within the front landscape areas must be selected from the Lonsdale Shores Indigenous Plant Species List (Appendix B).

RefertoAppendixB:LonsdaleShoresIndigenousPlantSpeciesList.

In addition to the Indigenous Plant Species, a list of appropriate Native Plant Species (Appendix C) has been provided with species that are suited to this coastal environment. These species provide residents with alternative options that are more refined for residential landscapes and readily available whilst still complementing the native character of Point Lonsdale.

Plants selected from this list must not exceed 40% of the plants within the front landscape area.



RefertoAppendixC:LonsdaleShoresNativePlantSpeciesList.

Exotic plants may be included within rear private gardens as long as they are not visible from the street. This would include feature plants and plants for produce such as fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

No plants classified as environmental weeds are to be planted in private gardens (Appendix D).

RefertoAppendixD:EnvironmentalWeeds–CityofGreaterGeelong

A series of photographs of a selection of indigenous plant species has been provided in Appendix A. These species are examples of vibrant indigenous plants that complement the character of the environment and provide food and shelter for native fauna.
