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].

  • Taxonomy of the South Australian Species Allied to Hakea Ulicina R. Br
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 7(3): 249-271 (1985) TAXONOMY OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SPECIES ALLIED TO HAKEA ULICINA R. BR. (PROTEACEAE) L. Haegi & W.R. Barker Adelaide Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000. Abstract Taking into account the recent publication of the new species H. repullulans HM. Lee from western Victoria and South Australia, it is shown that the name H ulicina, widely used in the past, doe.s not apply to South Australian Hakea. The name H. carinata F. Muell. ex Meissner is re-instated for a species endemic to the Flinders and Mt Lofty Ranges and the South Eastern region. H muelleriana J. Black is confirmed as a distinct species, occurring in drier regions from Eyre Peninsula to the South Eastern region and extending to Kangaroo Island and Victoria. The occurrence of exceptionally broad-leaved forms of this species on Kangaroo Island warrants further biological and taxonomic investigation. H. aenigma W.R. Barker & Haegi, a Kangaroo Island endemic apparently most closely related to H. repullutans, is described. This new species is unusual in its sterility, apparent genetic uniformity and complete dependence on suckering as a means of reproduction. Introduction In the absence of any comprehensive treatment of Hakea since that of Bentham (1870) taxonomic concepts within the genus have developed largely in regional floras. Included among the species of Hakea treated in the most recent flora account for South Australia (Black 1948) were H muelleriana J. Black and H ulicina R. Br., including its variety var. latifolia J. Black. In a supplement to Black's Flora, Eichler (1965) expressed doubt about the rank of H muelleriana, suggesting it might better be treated at the infraspecific level, as "H ulicina var.

Right: Leaves and follicles of H. salicifolia (source of both images: Trevor James, http://www.nzflora.info/Index.html). Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Hakea salicifolia Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA)— specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it.

  • Ecology of the Ecological Community
    APPENDIX A: BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF THE ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY This appendix provides further relevant information about the biology and ecology of the KI Narrow-leaved Mallee Woodland ecological community to better understand what the ecological community is and how it functions. Biology of key species The dominant presence of Eucalyptus cneorifolia in the tree canopy is a diagnostic feature of the ecological community. The KI narrow-leaved mallee is an upright tree, to ten metres tall, sometimes with a single stem or in the form of a multi-stemmed mallee (Brooker et al., 2002). It generally forms a dense canopy of narrow, dark green leaves. The leaves have conspicuous oil glands and the species was used for the Eucalyptus oil industry (Willoughby et al., 2001). The KI narrow-leaved mallee develops a lignotuber at the base of the trunk. Regeneration after disturbances, such as fire, occurs mostly through resprouts from the lignotuber. Regeneration from canopy-stored seed or from the soil seed bank is thought to be limited (Rawson et al., 2012). Other plant species may be widespread throughout the ecological community, for instance Melaleuca uncinata (broombrush), M. lanceolata (dryland tea-tree) or Thryptomene ericaea (heath thryptomene) are common at many sites. However, no other plant species occurs across all sites nor has such an obvious presence that it governs the structure and appearance of the ecological community. Similar considerations apply to the faunal component of the ecological community. The upper height limit for mallee eucalypts is typically about 9 metres (Parsons, 1994). An unusual feature of mallees on KI is that they can be taller, sometimes exceptionally so.
