The developers of Beyond Today have laid the foundation for an extraordinary place to live and to prosper. Wishing for “a place where we would like to live” has become reality: for expanding opportunities for prosperity, creativity, improving wellbeing and sustainability beyond today.

These ‘Development Guidelines’ ensure protection and continuation of the original vision and objectives, by setting out clear steps to follow as you develop your home site. Your neighbour’s home, like yours, will be built sensitively, ensuring you maximum access to winter sun benefits, views, and outlooks into parks.

It’s possible to improve the energy efficiency of your home even beyond the requirements of these guidelines. You’ll find many recommendations for energy- efficient options that can benefit you even further, and which, like the requirements, will mean added comfort with reduced power use over the life of your house.

The Development Guidelines of Beyond Today are about creating the ideal residential development, one that gets better with age, betters your investment, and one that will undoubtedly be the most stunning in which to live along the South Coast.

If you have any questions about the guidelines we would be happy to help: just contact us at [email protected], or phone (08) 8554 2226. ecologically sustainable development 2

Beyond Today homes will be visually interesting, well articulated and finely detailed. They will incorporate a mix of solid and light weight elements, and integrate with the well-planned streetscapes which offer plenty of summer shade, colour and atmosphere, designed for walk-ability and livability.

Building design and character are important to the overall living experience of Beyond Today, with every home presenting a coastal, contemporary architectural character, responsive to local climate, using locally sourced natural materials and reflecting the colours and textures of the locality. character 3

Beyond Today values long lasting development that minimises impact on surrounding areas and ensures a sense of place and belonging.

The living experience of Sustainable design is the pleasure of more ambient indoor-outdoor connection, winter solar gain, natural light, courtyard living, healthy indoor living environments, and outlook. Lower running costs result from reduced dependence on energy consumption and very little or no need for artificial heating and cooling. Water is collected, recycled and used more efficiently.

Homes are designed with primary consideration to orientation, shading and window and door placement to increase the benefits of winter sun warmth and light, and healthy cross ventilation.

The Guideline Requirements are set out to ensure that each home is well built, long lasting, and will improve in value while costing less to live in. Importantly, therefore, housing designs must comply with the requirements, and there is encouragement to go beyond! achieving sustainable development 4

1.1 ORIENTATION Orientation is one of the most important aspects of making your home energy- efficient, light filled, and naturally comfortable through every season. It positions each home on its site to take best advantage of sun and slope for warmth in winter, shading and breezes in summer, natural light year round, and views to sky, land, gardens, and outdoor spaces. Orientation ensures northern winter sunlight access to daytime living areas and southern light access to bedrooms. Windows to the east and west are to be minimised, and north, east and west facing windows are to be shaded from direct sunlight from late spring through to early autumn.

Requirements • Living rooms, kitchen/dining/family rooms and studies should be oriented to 1. your site 1. the north and facing open space in order to have access to daylight throughout the year. • Private open space should have a northerly aspect and the main area should have direct access from the internal living areas of the associated dwelling. 5

1.2 BUILDING ENVELOPE 1.2.1 BUILDING ENVELOPE PLAN A Building Envelope Plan has been produced for each allotment to define setbacks and building heights. The Plan defines the area in which a dwelling may be sited, with regard for adjacent allotments and the relationships between buildings, open space and solar access.

The Building Envelope Plan includes the following elements: • Siting and orientation. • Building setbacks, relative to buildings heights. • Location of private open space / courtyards.

1. your site 1. • Sections of sites in which Ground floor Living areas will be sited. • Garage / carport locations. • Driveway locations and widths. • Special fencing requirements. • Location of upper level.

1.2.2 BUILDING HEIGHT Every home will be free from overshadowing by neighbouring buildings, so that all northern facing windows will receive maximum winter sun warmth and light. 6

Requirements • Walls on southern boundaries will be restricted to a maximum height of 2.7 metres measured at any point on their length above natural ground level (See Envelopes). • To ensure solar access buildings will not exceed heights that could cause mid-winter overshadowing of neighbouring properties/dwellings to the south.

1.2.3 SETBACK Setback is important for lifestyle benefits such as: - privacy, both visual and acoustic; - streetscape, by positioning buildings well in relationship to each other - efficient use of each site 1. your site 1. - good solar orientation

Requirements • Dwellings and associated buildings including garages, carports and verandahs will be set back from all boundaries in accordance with the Building Envelope Plan (Refer to Building Envelope Plan). • Garages will be setback a minimum 1m from the dwelling frontage.

1.2.4 PRIVATE OPEN SPACE Private Open Space refers to outdoor living areas, positioned ideally to offer the greatest benefits to overall living experience. Their area and location takes into account: - Access to the sun’s warmth in winter and cooling breezes in summer - Being adjacent to main internal living areas - Minimising overlooking from adjacent buildings - Minimising acoustic impact to bedrooms and neighbours - Allotment size - Potential number of occupants 7

Requirements • Provide a minimum of 4 metres x 6 metres of private open space, with one area that is directly accessible from an internal living area of the dwelling. • Private open space should be at the north face of living areas. • Private open space areas are to be located and screened to minimise acoustic effect to bedroom windows on adjoining sites.

1.2.5 PRIVACY Privacy is valued and respected. Each allotment’s provision for the location of buildings and private open space set out in its Building Envelope Plan considers protection of privacy. Good building design and landscape design can contribute further to ensure the privacy desirable for relaxed living. 1. your site 1.

Requirements Privacy considerations include: - Minimising direct overlooking from upper level windows and balconies to the private open space and internal living areas of adjacent dwellings; - Use of permanent screening devices, sill heights and landscaping to protect privacy. 8

1.3 CARPARKING, DRIVEWAYS AND PAVING Streetscape interest and character is influenced by the look of car parking, driveways and paving, and it is desirable to avoid their visual dominance. Their positions and layout are described for each allotment in the Building Envelope Plan and their design and colour can add to streetscape attractiveness by complementing the architecture of the dwelling.

Requirements • Commercial or recreational vehicles such as boats, caravans or trailers are to be parked behind the street front building line and screened from the street. • Comply with driveway positions as depicted on the Building Envelope Plan. 1. your site 1. • Paving in public view including crossovers is to complement the paving of public footpaths, and be of colours matching the range of paving bricks produced by “B Smart”. [Note: the “embodied Emissions issue (6.8) will be satisfied if “B Smart” bricks are used]. • Driveways will have a maximum width of 4 metres at the site boundary, except Lots 6 – 16, and 41 – 50, where the width will be 6 metres (to accommodate 2 cars). • Allotments with frontage to a road with a reserve width of 15 metres or more will not pave more than 50% of the private open space between the front boundary and the dwelling. • Footpath and driveway paving layouts are to be provided in application documents, and are to be constructed prior to occupation of the dwelling. 9

1.4 STORAGE, SHEDS AND OTHER STRUCTURES (excluding pergolas) These structures can be integrated into the total home and site design for long-term value adding.

Requirements • Storage buildings, Sheds and other structures (not including pergolas): - are to be located within the building envelope - where not constructed from the same materials as the dwelling or as part of the main dwelling (e.g. as a separate enclosure within the garage), are not to be visible from any public space. Note: the use of appropriate screening fencing or walls can assist in meeting this requirement. Where 1. your site 1. screening is used to meet the above requirements, it will be constructed from materials and colours to match the dwelling, and/or to suit its architecture. - are to be no greater than the Maximum permitted size of 10 m2 & 2.1m height. - are to be set 1 m from boundaries - only one such structure is permitted. 10

1.5 SERVICES Requirements • Services and equipment such as rubbish bins, tanks, plumbing, clothes lines, air-conditioners, pumps, hot water tanks, satellite dishes & other equipment, not including TV antennae, solar collectors, and wind turbines, are to be concealed from public view, and incorporated into the building design (or able to be appropriately accommodated in the future). • Any screening devices will be designed and constructed using materials that complement the building materials and colours within the colour range of the associated building. 1. your site 1. 11

1.6 FENCING The open character of Beyond Today is a much valued asset. Fencing described below and in the Building Envelope Plan gives primary consideration to this aspect of the development. “Rural Style” fences and “green” boundaries are preferred between homes and at frontages to reserves.

Requirements • Fences will not be erected on the site except in accordance with these guidelines and the Building Envelope Plan or located within the designated Building Envelope. • Fencing and screening may be erected to create privacy. Such fencing and screening will be of a style that matches the materials, colour palette, and 1. your site 1. architectural style of the house; to a maximum height of 1800mm above finished ground level or include semi transparent devices or panels above that height. All timber must be planed all round and finished as natural, oiled or painted. • “Rural” Style fences will comprise: - Plantation grown 120mm x 120mm timber posts - Plantation grown 120mm wide x 60m deep top and bottom rails for 900mm high fences, together with middle rails for taller fences. - Unpainted galvanized rigid wire mesh 150mm wide x 100mm deep profile for panels.

• Permapine and other toxic coated or impregnated materials are not to be used • Climbers and shrubs grown as hedges at 900mm high fences are to be maintained at the same height as the fence. • Gates are to be built no higher than fence height and to be constructed in a plantation grown timber or perforated metal to suit the architectural style of the house. • Allotments with a northern street frontage may be fenced or screened between the building and the northern boundary in order to create private open space, in a manner that avoids creating any sense of “enclosing the street or public spaces”. 12

- Any northern boundary street frontage fence will be articulated in order to provide for landscaping on the street side with a minimum width of 1 metre, for a minimum of 40% of the length of the fence, inclusive of any pedestrian access gate. Driveways will remain open. (As pictured below) - Side boundaries between building set back line and the front alignment (boundary) of these allotments may be fenced. Such boundary fences between non driveway boundaries may be built to the same height as the “front fence”; and on driveway boundaries they are to be a maximum height of 900mm above natural ground level, and are to be built with materials that complement or match those of the houses, or to be of planted hedges, where the species are to be selected from the list in Appendix A. 1. your site 1.

1.7 SIGNS, LETTERBOXES & HOARDINGS Requirements • Letterboxes and signs are to reflect the intent for a contemporary and natural character of the development • Signs and hoardings are to be a maximum of 600mm x 420 mm with the top of the device being no higher than 1.5m above natural ground. 13

Slope and retaining wall requirements are designed to preserve the natural relationship of built environments with the land.

2.1 EXCAVATION AND FILLING OF LAND Requirements • Excavation and filling of land will be limited to a maximum of 500mm above or 500mm below existing ground level over the whole of the site.

2.2 RETAINING WALLS Requirements • Retaining walls will only be allowed where essential to accommodate changes in level. • Retaining walls will be constructed using plantation or recycled hardwood timber, masonry or locally sourced stone to complement the materials and the design of the dwelling • Retaining walls will be a maximum height of 1.0m 2. slope & retaining walls 14

3.1 DESIGN APPROACH The coastal, botanical theme of Beyond Today calls for predominant use of indigenous species in landscaping, with encouragement to select low-water- demand to assist resource conservation. Deciduous and evergreen trees carefully selected and positioned, can also offer benefits of summer shade and winter solar gain.

Streetscape amenity and quality of architecture can be enhanced by landscaping.

3.2 PLANTING SELECTION Requirements • Plants are to be selected from the species list in Appendix A

3. landscape • Planting in areas to the north of buildings is to be selected with regard to the effects of overshadowing. • To ensure mid-winter solar access to buildings Evergreens will not exceed heights that could cause overshadowing. See diagram below. • Lawn areas are not encouraged. However where permitted lawns must be drought resistant and not to exceed 50% of the garden space left after building and paving. 15

3.3 STREET-FACING GARDENS Requirements • Where a building is to be set back 6m or more from a street boundary, the street-facing garden is to include at least three trees: - two trees with maximum growth height of 4m, - one tree with maximum growth height of 10m, together with shrubs and groundcovers that assist in creating dimensional relief and sculpture.

3.4 IRRIGATION TYPE AND EXTENT Water is recognised as a precious resource, and this section seeks to minimise

3. landscape its waste.

Note that irrigation water comes from your on site tank, then from SA Water.

Requirements • Irrigation is restricted to subsurface drip irrigation and surface heavy flow drip irrigation and “heavy stream” pop-up sprinklers/wobblers for lawn areas, all installed to manufacturer’s recommendations. • Provide and maintain a suitable timer on all garden irrigation systems.

3.5 WATER FEATURES Requirements • Water features will be designed and positioned to minimise evaporation, and use rainwater.

3.6 GARDEN PEST CONTROL Biological pest control measures are readily available, easy to use, and effective in residential gardens without any risk of air, water or soil contamination. Refer to Appendix A for more information.

Requirements • Biological pest control measures, for example introducing predator-type bugs, will be used instead of poisonous chemicals. 16

All rainwater runoff on Beyond Today land is diverted by surface swales or underground pipes to collection areas, including ponds and the wetlands.

Requirements • Stormwater surplus to tank storage is to be directed to an approved soakage on site. Any overflow from this soakage is to be directed to the street water table or public open space by underground pipe or surface swale. 4. stormwater 17

Architectural expression is to be responsive to the local climate and of contemporary design, incorporating use of skillion roofs, large overhangs and articulation enhanced by deep recesses, canopies and modulation of volumes. This requires a combination of textures and colours preferably drawn from the natural environment, and the use of a diversity of finishes and materials.

5.1 BUILT FORM As an aid to developing building designs a gallery of photographs is located in Appendix B. The photographs are selected to stimulate design thinking. This is not a “required built form specification”; you are not obliged to mimic the styles depicted, however they serve to define the Development Style.

Requirement • Architectural expression that mimics historic styles is to be avoided.

5.2 COLOURS AND TEXTURES Building materials and colours are to be selected from the colour “palette” of indigenous species and local stone.

The arrangement of materials and colours will use earthy and predominant plant colours in large surfaces, and brighter colours for smaller areas of facade to provide definition. In their combinations, the arrangements will produce interesting and diverse variations in the character and look of each building, while fostering consistency within the whole development. 5. building appearance Requirements • The use of 2 or 3 different external facade materials/colours where the building is visible to the public realm will contribute to the desired building character. Therefore the ‘monolithic’ use of a single material externally will be avoided. - A combination of painted and coloured rendered surfaces, natural materials and metal finishes is encouraged to produce variety and visual interest to the built form. Natural materials can be selected from face concrete block work, natural stone, rammed earth, pigmented or natural cement render, dressed timber. - Colours are to be selected from the non-flowering parts of the natural vegetation (eg trunks, foliage, grasses) and are to reflect the natural local landscape. • The use of brighter colours, selected from flowering parts of indigenous plant species, is encouraged as feature definition, and will constitute no more than 30% of the facade. This may include Special entry fascias and other similar features • Dark coloured roofing will not be permitted (heat gain). 18

Specialist finishes • Specialist finishes such as aluminium, stainless steel, copper or similar materials may be used if deemed to be of merit and only if in small quantities or as required for resisting corrosion. • Main entry door security screens will not include standard aluminium proprietary units. Natural finish stainless steel mesh, or coloured perforated flat steel sheet doors are accepted.

Garage Doors • Garage doors are to be panel lift, tilt-up, sliding or hinged panels, clad with materials such as stained or natural timber, flat perforated or mini-orb type metal profiles (which can be coloured or galvanised finishes), and with the option of glass or polycarbonate inserts to provide a level of interest.

Window Shutters and screens • Shutters will be selected from louvred, slatted or sheet timber, or metal profiles similar to garage doors. Use of flexible shades is encouraged.

Windows/doors • Window and door frame types will be selected from stained, painted or natural timber; and composite aluminium/timber systems.

Gutters, Fascias, Downpipes • Gutters are to be half-round, or similar; downpipes to be tubular. 5. building appearance 19

Beyond Today’s design strategies are based on Sustainability principles. There are simple, practical ways to make buildings energy efficient, requiring little or no artificial heating or cooling assistance. Sustainability Guidelines explain how to provide healthy, cooling natural ventilation to all rooms; how to conserve water and power; and choices for healthiest, most durable materials.

6.1 ORIENTATION AND WINTER SOLAR GAIN Orientation of living areas The greatest winter solar benefit needs to be focussed on daytime living areas, including Family, Kitchen, Living, Dining, Study, Courtyards.

Requirements • Northern building faces with access to winter sun must be occupied by living areas, not sleeping and service spaces, and open to outdoor living spaces. 6. sustainability 6. 20

6.2 GLAZING OF WINDOWS & DOORS Windows (and doors) provide the important benefits of access to light, heat, air and views. Maximising benefit depends on orientation, shading, size, quality, and the area of glass relative to both the floor area and solid wall area.

Walls that do not have exposure to winter sun should have less glazing. Glass is a poor thermal insulator. Double-glazing and similarly functioning glasses increase the insulating capability. However, even double-glazing is only 1/10th of the insulation levels that are required for walls. Windows are very important for livability, offering light, views and spatial sense, providing relationship of indoor to outdoor and between internal spaces. Windows to the north provide crucial thermal benefit in winter.

Beyond Today is committed to the provision of housing that comfortably supports lifestyle choices along with minimising energy and water consumption. Windows that are well placed add to positive living experience. Because they contribute to internal heat loss in winter and unwanted heat gain in summer, it is highly 6. sustainability 6. recommended to install insulated internal curtains and pelmets.

Requirements • Use double glazing and/or glazing to a minimum “R” value of ·25 to all but service areas (bathrooms and Laundries etc.). • Northern facing glazing to internal living areas is to be mounted at floor level, preferably arranged floor to ceiling, and to occupy approximately 50 - 70% of the width of northern wall faces where winter solar gain is available. Windows to the other elevations (southern, eastern, and western faces) will be minimised and are only allowable if specifically to provide light, views and ventilation.

Recommendations • Provision is to be made for installation of thermal quality curtains and pelmets on all windows. 21

6.3 SHADING OF GLAZING Internal comfort during warmer months requires that windows facing North, East and West are effectively shaded.

The diagrams following, explain how glass is to be properly shaded to protect internal living spaces from hot summer solar radiation, while enabling maximum solar gain in winter months. 6. sustainability 6.

Optimum overhang accomodates sun angle of approximately 68º. 22

North Facing Windows: Since the sun moves higher across the sky in summer, effective shade for northern facing windows can be gained from eaves, covered pergolas, or vertical screens (shutters or blinds) external to the windows. 6. sustainability 6.

East / West Facing Windows: Windows facing east or west are to be shaded from summer sun from sunrise to sunset using vertical devices such as blinds, shutters or awnings, or by a combination of vertical and horizontal shades.

Techniques such as external shutters, to shade glazing

Requirements • Direct solar radiation is to be prevented from striking glazing from November to February inclusive, from sunrise to sunset. 23

6.4 SHADING OF EXTERNAL LIVING AREAS Paving can store and/or reflect solar radiation onto walls and windows. This is desirable in winter, but in summer adds considerably to undesirable heat loads. Shading these outdoor living spaces will add to their livability. 6. sustainability 6. Requirements • Provide removable external shade (for summer) that allows winter sun penetration, including flexible shades, fixed slatted pergolas and deciduous vegetation. 24

6.5 VENTILATION, SEALING & ZONING Good air movement through internal living spaces during summer will allow the purging of pent up heat. Cross-flow ventilation provides healthy internal conditions and natural cooling from summer breezes.

Zoning of spaces (by incorporating doors between internal ‘zones’) provides for maximum winter warmth through division of living spaces, which reduces the areas to be heated.

If external and internal walls are well insulated, adequate sealing will lessen internal temperature variation.

Ventilation: Requirements • Provide significant cross-flow ventilation throughout the dwelling. • Provide ventilation from ceiling level upwards through the roof to the outside, and / or through high and low level windows. 6. sustainability 6.

Sealing: Requirements • All window and door openings, both external and internal between zones, are to be fitted with fully sealing devices at all meeting faces. • All vents are to be sealable.

Zone separation in dwellings: Requirements • Provide thermal separation of living areas from sleeping areas. • Locate stairwells separately from the living areas to thermally isolate the two levels from one another.

Recommendation • Major entrances could be isolated from living areas by doorways to provide air locks. 25

6.6 CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS Sustainable development construction systems include common sense approaches to living comfortably year round reducing reliance on artificial heating or cooling; with energy saving techniques used in construction; reduced waste output; and careful selection of materials.

Temperature fluctuations caused by the flow of heat to and from the interior spaces of a home can be uncomfortable, and can lead to over-use of artificial and costly air-conditioning. Sustainable construction systems use high thermal mass floors and high thermal mass walls to reduce temperature fluctuations within internal spaces.

Careful selection of materials and systems can create healthy home environments by minimising toxic out gassing (release of toxins as gas), and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and water use associated with production.

6.6.1 FLOORS 6. sustainability 6. Solid (concrete) floors in contact with the earth act to absorb heat from internal spaces or other heat sources (for example: solar radiation in winter). This heat is released to the enclosed and sealed internal spaces in winter as heating, and released to the atmosphere in summer to assist cooling.

Requirement • All floors at ground level are to be Concrete “slabs on ground”.

Recommendation • Suspended floors to upper storeys could be of solid concrete construction. 26

6.6.2 WALLS The advantages of “thermal mass”: Solid masonry walls have the capacity to absorb and retain heat. They have “thermal mass”. In summer this capability enables the walls to absorb heat from rooms, maintaining lower temperatures during the day. At night, the heat that has been absorbed by the thermal mass material during daytime can be released into the cool night air through ventilation. In winter heat generated inside (from the sun or other heat sources) is stored and released to internal spaces in the evening, reducing the need for extensive ongoing artificial heating.

The thermal mass of external masonry walls performs most effectively if an insulated timber framed wall is built around their perimeter, as the effectiveness of the thermal mass is maximised. Walls with these characteristics are commonly known as “Reverse Brick Veneer”. 6. sustainability 6.

Requirements • External timber wall frames are to contain bulk insulation to a minimum value of R2.5, in addition to sarking foils.

Recommendations Walls on concrete slabs: • External walls could be composite construction. - The external “leaf” with the minimum R2.5 insulation, or be separated from the internal “masonry leaf” by a minimum of the R2.5 insulation value. - The internal “leaf” of a mass material of the equivalent to 90 mm thickness and a minimum of 2000kg/m3 density (concrete block or similar). 27

• All internal walls could be of a mass material equivalent to 90 mm thickness and a minimum of 2000kg/m3 density (concrete block or similar). • Walls separating spaces within wet areas (for example WC from bathroom) could be constructed using an insulated timber frame.

6.6.3 ROOF INSULATION Insulated roofs (i.e. fitted with reflective foils and with bulk or proven similarly acting insulating products) will reduce the impact of high levels of solar radiation and other heat gain and heat loss.

Requirements • All roof spaces are to be insulated to an R4 rating in addition to the fitting of foil reflective sheets at the underside of roofing purlins. • No penetration of insulation is to occur in installation of light fittings

Recommendation • Foils that are of laminated form enclosing cellular plastic layer(s), which add 6. sustainability 6. to the thermal resistance (R value) of the composite “ceiling to roof” area could be fitted.

6.6.4 HOT WATER PIPE INSULATION Delivery of heated water to outlets needs to be protected from significant heat loss by insulation around all hot water pipes.

Requirements • All hot water pipes are to be insulated, with minimum insulation wrap of 19 millimetres thick.

6.7 BUILDING MATERIALS Selection of building materials relies on knowledge and understanding of their immediate and long-term environmental impact. This section is designed to make selection according to: - Life cycle assessment of selected materials and processes, including embodied energy and maintenance. - Minimisation of use of non-renewable resources. - Maximisation of use of renewable and/or recyclable materials and components. - Considerations regarding toxicity, off-gassing and indoor air quality.

It is possible to source appropriate materials through Ecospecifier.

6.7.1 PLANTATION TIMBER Requirement • Rainforest and old growth timbers will not be used. Use only timbers that are supplied from local sustainable plantation sources or locally sourced recycled timber. 28

6.7.2 CHEMICAL TREATMENT Toxicity from chemicals used in the construction process needs to be minimised, and on that basis some are deemed totally inappropriate for use due to their high toxicity.

Requirements • CCA treated pine, and other such chemically treated materials will not be used. • Use only mechanical or other non-toxic pest exclusion systems.

Recommendations • PVC materials ought not be used (this includes all plumbing in ground pipes, and vinyl floor coverings, window frames and shutters.)

6.8 EMBODIED EMISSIONS (Emissions caused in production and transportation of materials) Production and transport of all materials that make up a house require energy, which can be traced through their production chain, from producing and delivering and incorporating their ‘ingredients’, to actual production processes 6. sustainability 6. and then their delivery onsite. Such energy, if not provided by renewable sources, creates unwanted emissions. A sum of all the emissions from all the energy inputs is called “Embodied Emissions”.

Choosing building materials that are suitable for their energy saving and weathering performance and that are preferable for their low embodied emissions is a balancing act. For example concrete blocks perform all the relevant functions as well as fired clay bricks but comprise lower embodied emissions; timber framing is similarly lower than steel framing; timber windows and doors lower than aluminium and lightweight metal roof sheeting lower than tiles.

Requirements Choose building materials that measure lower in embodied emissions by complying with the following criteria: • Concrete to be that which uses local recycled material for aggregate. • Window and door frames will be constructed from timber; where aluminium is required, it is to be selected from that produced using Renewable Energy. • Masonry wall materials will only be of recycled brick, stone, concrete block, rammed earth or other low cementitious concrete bases (weak slurry, low fly ash or similar). • Roofs to be constructed from metal sheet on timber frame. Steel framing may be used for major spans, or if demonstrated to be produced from recycled steel. Avoid thermal bridging by use of timber framing or insulating separators. • Wall frame systems are to be constructed using timber. Allowance for use of steel framing will be considered in specialist concrete filled systems, or if demonstrated to be produced from recycled steel. If using (recycled) steel studs in exterior walls, special detailing is required to avoid thermal bridging and to avoid condensation. Thermal bridging occurs wherever steel spans from the inside to the outside of the building envelope (steel is over 400 times more conductive of heat than wood). 29

6.9 APPLIANCES & WATER HEATING Energy efficiency and consumption issues include the use of energy efficient equipment, appliances and processes to ensure minimal energy use for cooling in summer, for heating in winter, for lighting and ventilation, & minimal water consumption.

To minimise contribution to greenhouse gas generation (climate change) and excessive water use, these guidelines make clear which appliances should be installed in all buildings.

6.9.1 WATER HEATING More than 30% of energy used in average households is devoted to provision of hot water.

Requirements • The highest efficiency solar hot water systems are to be used.

6. sustainability 6. • Where the distance between the hot water service and an outlet is greater than 15m, install devices that reduce water loss from delays on hot water supply to outlets caused by the distance of the outline from the HWS

6.9.2 SPACE COOLING & HEATING The need for mechanical heating and cooling should be greatly minimised by complying with the totality of Beyond Today guideline requirements. However, if any mechanical heating or cooling systems are installed, they should be selected on the basis of highest available level of energy efficiency.

Fireplaces need to be efficient, to reduce fuel intake, and also because smoke generated from inefficient fireplaces – open fires and single burning only fire boxes – is toxic. Fireboxes that “burn the smoke” before it is emitted reduce the proportion of this toxicity.

Requirements • Ceiling fans are to be fitted in all habitable rooms, and such habitable rooms are to have a minimum ceiling height of 2.7m above floor level for a minimum of 2/3 of that room. • If “Mechanical” heating and cooling systems are installed they will target only critical living spaces, which will be zoned to reduce demand and therefore maximise efficiency, and to be selected from the following.

Heating systems: - Gas and solar hydronic in floor; ducted gas fired heating systems and 6 star heat pump systems. - Wood-burning fires that are fully enclosed and “triple burn”. 30

Cooling systems: - Ducted evaporative cooling system with the cooler located in shade (not on the roof). - 6 star heat pump systems. - Where large and less efficient systems are used, the excess demand on power is to be matched by the provision of additional photo voltaic renewable power generation.

6.9.3 KITCHEN, LAUNDRY & BATHROOM APPLIANCES Highest efficiency appliances, whether fitted or loose, should be selected. Requirements • All appliances installed by the builder will be of minimum “5 star” level for efficient energy, and “4 star” for water use. • All cooking appliances are to use gas as the primary energy source. Electrical appliances are not to be used unless demand for gas free internal environments on health grounds is demonstrated, or a minimum of 1Kw of

6. sustainability 6. renewable energy, additional to requirements of these Guidelines, is generated on the site.

Recommendations • All appliances are to be purchased at the highest possible level of energy efficiency.

6.9.4 CLOTHES DRYING Requirements • Provision of suitably sized external clothes-drying facility to enable clothes to be dried without the use of mechanical drying, and in an area that is screened from public view.

6.9.5 LIGHTING Provision for natural lighting needs to be supported by well placed, energy- efficient artificial lighting. Consult a lighting specialist to obtain current information about longest life lowest running cost lights. Some halogen type lighting is very inefficient and to be avoided.

Requirements • Install only energy efficient lighting in every room. Fittings incorporating compact fluorescent, T5 fluorescent and LED lamps, are suitable. • Rooms and spaces without direct access to daylight through windows should be fitted with tube based skylights or roof lights. If roof lights larger than 250 mm diameter are used they will be fitted with double glazing and operable sunshades. • No penetration of insulation is to occur in installation of light fittings. 31

6.10 RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS The installation of any renewable energy supply system, such as photo voltaic (PV) panels, will provide electricity that is free of greenhouse gas emissions.

Requirements • Generate energy from “renewable” sources using systems with a minimum capacity of 1.0 Kw. • Allowance is to be made for sufficient and appropriately orientated roof area for the location of solar collection devices.

Recommendation • Install a smart metering system.

6.11 WATER Potable (Mains Supplied) Water Demand Reduction Collecting and using rainwater and using it for irrigation, in hot water systems and

6. sustainability 6. toilet flushing is achievable for all homes. Efficient appliances and fittings (e.g. taps) and “low water use landscape” design will further minimise water consumption.

Requirements • Collect rainwater from a minimum 80% of the roof area and store in minimum10,000 litre tank(s), and use throughout the home. • “Mains” Water can be connected to the home, as back-up either via the tank, using a float switch and valve combination connected to SA Water ensuring retention of 10% of full capacity; or direct by using a device that switches connection from tank to Mains when the tank is empty. • All rainwater tanks are to be fitted with a "first flush system", and water for consumption may require filtering and treatment. • Provide minimum AAAA dual flush toilets and AAA showerheads, and appliances, including dishwashers and washing machines where installed.

Recommendations • Rainwater tanks can be connected to kitchen sinks providing appropriate treatment for drinking water supply is installed.

6.12 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: DOMESTIC WASTE Domestic waste Recycling Recycling of solid waste will reduce additions to landfill and the depletion of non- renewable resources.

Requirements • Provide separated waste storage facilities within, or adjacent to, kitchens for internal waste sorting and in external service areas for waste bin storage. Such areas are to have adequate access to the street, screened from public view, and be indicated on all plans. 32

6.13 TOXICITY Pest Exclusion Pest exclusion (particularly termites) is required and will be mechanical or non-toxic.

Chemical Treatment Toxicity from chemicals used in the construction process needs to be minimised, and materials in which toxicity levels are extremely high must be completely avoided.

Requirements • CCA treated pine, and other such chemically treated materials will not be used.

Recommendation • It is better to use PE materials rather than PVC for plumbing.

Low off-gassing coatings and materials Building interiors finished with materials and paints with low pollution emitting 6. sustainability 6. levels support healthier internal household conditions. Emissions are measured in grams of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) per litre finish or material.

Requirements • All interior coatings will have a maximum of 16 grams per litre of VOCs, except for gloss, interior latex undercoat and sealer, which will be of a maximum of 75 grams per litre of VOCs. • All internal coatings are to comply with Australian Environmental Labelling Association (AELA) standard No: AELA 23-2005 “Architectural and Protective Coatings”. (See Appendix C) • All “particle board” type materials are to be of EO standard (0.5mg/L). • Any toxic coated or impregnated materials are not to be used.

The Beyond Design Review Committee (BDRC) has been established for the purpose of reviewing and assessing development. 33

7.1 APPROVAL OF THE BDRC IS REQUIRED

7.1.1 THE MEMORANDUM OF ENCUMBRANCE REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE BDRC FOR ANY BUILDING WORKS (AS DEFINED BELOW) TO BE ERECTED ON AN ALLOTMENT. This approval is additional to any statutory planning or building approval required by the Council or any other statutory authority. It is recommended therefore that the approval of the BDRC be obtained prior to lodgement of any application with the Council or other relevant authority.

7.1.2 BDRC MAY ALLOW (BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO ALLOW) VARIATIONS TO THESE DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES ON THE BASIS OF ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN MERIT AS DETERMINED IN ITS ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. 7.1.3 THE APPROVAL OF THE BDRC IS ADDITIONAL TO AND NOT IN SUBSTITUTION OF COMPLIANCE WITH ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATUTORY REQUIREMENT. Compliance with these guidelines does not exempt a structure from Alexandrina Council planning and building approval requirements.

7.1.4 BDRC MAY MAKE AMENDMENT TO THESE DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES FROM TIME TO TIME TO ACCOMMODATE ANY CHANGES IN THE STATUTORY CONTROLS, URBAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES, POLICIES AND OTHER CONTROLS OF ANY AUTHORITY, OR TO REFLECT CURRENT

7. the approval procedure 7. IDEAS, DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES. 7.2 BUILDING WORKS REQUIRING APPROVAL. “Building Works” that require the approval of the BDRC includes: • any proposed external construction, alterations, additions/extensions and/or repairs to the dwelling or associated building; • any construction, alterations or additions to any fence, retaining walls, exterior lighting, driveway or recreational structure; and • Landscaping and tree planting specific to overshadowing. 34

7.3 BASIS OF THE BDRC DECISION BDRC decisions are based on these Development Guidelines. Applications not meeting the Development Guidelines will be assessed on their merit and may not be granted approval.

In the event that the BDRC allows a variation from these Development Guidelines, the variation will neither set a precedent nor imply that the approval will be repeated.

7.4 APPROVAL STEPS You must submit three copies of required documents and drawings to:

Beyond Design Review Committee C/- Environmentally Sustainable Developments PO Box 645 Victor Harbor SA 5211

All documents must include the street address, real property description, building type, owner’s name and the date.

Providing all information required herein is included with the application, and there are no unusual or outstanding issues, approval from the BDRC can normally be expected within 21 days.

Preliminary Review Prior to designing your dwelling or other building works, it is recommended you discuss your proposal with representatives of the BDRC. If you have preliminary sketch plans, these would assist in the preliminary review.

7. the approval procedure 7. If you are unsure of any aspect, or wish to discuss departures from the guidelines, it is recommended you speak with the BDRC representative prior to having your plans prepared.

BDRC Approval Three copies of the documents listed below are required to be submitted for BDRC approval. All documents must be numbered and dated.

• BDRC Application Form (completed by the applicant or agent, refer Attachment 1); • materials and finishes list; • Site Plan (1:200) showing: 35

- north point; - property lines with measurements and angles; - building setbacks dimensioned; - building footprint with entries, verandahs, balconies, terraces, pools, pergolas and overhangs shown; - location of parking, carports and garages; - driveways and paths; - fencing, gates and materials use; - landscaping including layout and species; - outbuildings and any other structures; - stormwater collection and disposal system description; - clothesline location - waste bin storage service area locations; - floor plans and roof plans (1:100) showing: • rooms and uses labelled; • all windows and doors including operation; • overhangs of roof lines shown dotted and dimensioned; • any roof-mounted services; • overall dimensions; • floor area statistics; - elevations and sections (1:100) showing: • materials and colours; • doors, windows and openings; • overhangs and shading devices; • roof pitch; • floor to floor heights; • heights to eaves and overall height; • any services and associated infrastructure; • decoration/mouldings/fenestrations/signage;

7. the approval procedure 7. • table of project statistics.

If approved, with or without conditions, BDRC will stamp and sign the drawings and where necessary accompanying documentation, as “Approved for the purpose of the Beyond Encumbrance”. These will be accompanied by a letter from the BDRC so that you may then submit the plans to the Alexandrina Council or relevant planning authority for statutory planning and building approval. Please note you may also submit the plans to a private certifier for approval (further information on this process may be obtained from your builder/architect, or the Council). 36

7.5 HOW TO USE YOUR DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES Your Beyond Development Guidelines will help fashion your neighbourhood, how it looks and functions.

Each element of the Development Guidelines has identified Recommendations, supported by helpful guiding statements of ways to achieve an outcome which reaffirms the vision along with the Requirements which are mandatory criteria to be met in the design and development of your home.

7.6 VARIATIONS FROM DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES If there are any variations from the requirements to these Development Guidelines, you must describe them and set out the justification for the variations based on merit.

7.7 BDRC MAY APPROVE OR DENY APPROVAL In its absolute discretion, the BDRC may: • approve; • approve with conditions; or • deny approval.

Generally, it will deny approval if the requirements of these guidelines are not met.

7.8 COUNCIL OR OTHER STATUTORY AUTHORITY APPROVAL Following approval under the BDRC Encumbrance, you must obtain the relevant statutory approvals from the Council or other relevant planning authority. Whilst every effort has been made to align these Development Guidelines with the Council’s planning and building requirements, approval under the Encumbrance

7. the approval procedure 7. does not guarantee approval by the Council.

It is your responsibility to ensure your plans and documentation meet the statutory requirements of the Council or other relevant statutory authority.

Following approval from the BDRC it is the applicant’s responsibility to lodge an application and the plans approved by the BDRC to the Council for its assessment and statutory approval.

7.9 AMENDMENTS TO PLANS Generally any amendment to an approved plan will require a further approval. This will therefore require both the approval of the BDRC and the Council in the same manner as the process for obtaining the original approval. 37

8.1 THE CONSTRUCTION TIMETABLE MUST COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE ENCUMBRANCE.

8.2 THE ENCUMBRANCE DOES NOT ALLOW DIVISION OF LAND

8.3 BEYOND WILL SUPPORT THE AMALGAMATION OF ADJOINING LOTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SINGLE DETACHED DWELLING.

8.4 TEMPORARY STRUCTURES MUST NOT BE ERECTED ON LAND UNLESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING AND MAY ONLY REMAIN FOR THE DURATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

8.5 OUTBUILDINGS AND SHEDS SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUCTED ON ANY ALLOTMENT PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DWELLING ON THAT SITE. 8. general requirements general 8. PLANT SPECIES LIST, PEST CONTROL & ENVIRONMENTAL WEEDS LIST This appendix is to assist you in the selection of plants for your garden. The Plant Species List identifies the plants that are encouraged and/or acceptable throughout the development. The plants have been chosen to suit climatic conditions and minimal water requirements. Plants need to be selected from this list to suit your particular needs and the spaces that you have available in your garden. Not all of the plants listed will suit all block sizes.

Although once established, plants will require minimal watering (with many indigenous plants requiring none), all plants (unless grown in ground from seed at the appropriate time of year) will need to be watered well at planting and then

appendix a regularly in dry periods until they establish themselves. Water can be gradually reduced after roots have been able to develop and in turn support the plants both with nutrients and against winds.

The best principle in watering is to water deeply and less often, ensuring that your garden is well mulched and that your soil absorbs moisture. There are many good articles and publications that assist in managing your garden in a water-wise manner.

Many of the plants listed will attract many different birds with nectar, seed and fruits becoming available to them.

Beautiful gardens supporting a wealth of fauna & flora will enhance your living at Beyond Today.

appendix a PEST CONTROL The use of unnecessary and harmful chemicals to eradicate insect pests in your garden is strongly discouraged. Many beneficial insects that prey on the pest insects eating our plants are destroyed by the chemicals we have traditionally used.

Beneficial insects that prey on pest insects are now available at a very affordable price. They are available via the internet and are grown at a couple of farms in Victoria. The user friendly internet address for advice on remedies and obtaining the beneficial insects is:- www.bugcentral.com.au ENVIRONMENTAL WEEDS Some of the plants that we consider hardy and require little or no water are listed as environmental weeds. These plants become weeds because they adapt to our climate very well, disperse seed or spread rapidly and then compete with native species, outdoing them. This vigorous competition squeezes out indigenous native plants in areas where they are valuable for many reasons.

Beyond Today aims at re-establishing an eco-system with the emphasis on indigenous plants and animals finding food and protection within its boundaries. For this reason plants named in the following list are prohibited from being used within the development.
