Landscaping

1. All parts of the lot not built upon or paved are to be landscaped with turf, groundcover, shrubs and/or trees.
2. No more than 40% of the front yard is to be hard paved surfaces.
3. Impervious areas are to be limited to a maximum of 65% of the lot area.
4. All gardens visible from roads or parks must be fully landscaped within three months of the house being occupied.

Private Open Space

1. Each dwelling is to have quality, useable private open space, behind the primary building line to allow outdoor recreational and clothes drying areas.
2. The total area of private open space is to be a minimum area of 80m2 (dwellings with 3 or less bedrooms) and 100m2 (dwellings with 4 or more bedrooms).
3. Each dwelling is to have a principal private open space in at least one courtyard directly connected to a living zone, with the minimum dimensions of 5m wide x 5m deep and being not steeper than 1:15 gradient. On steeper sites open space is to be terraced to provide useable space or a timber deck with the minimum dimensions of 4m x 2.5m constructed adjacent and accessible to a living zone to minimise any site disturbance.
4. Sunlight must reach at least 50% of the principal private open space and of any adjoining dwelling for not less than 3 hours between 9:00am and 3:00pm on 21st June.

Note:    Any area to be included in the above calculation is to have a minimum dimension of 2.5m. Any area in front of the front building alignment is not to be considered in the above calculation.
