the existing architectural styling of the villa. Changes that depart from the existing styling will not be acceptable.

Figure 4 This colour is not preferred for this type of villa, as it is not considered to be consistent with thearchitectural style of the villa.

Figure 11 An example of a balcony enclosure (and ground floor balcony enclosure) that is generally consistent withthe architectural style of the villa. The only required changes to convert these spaces were the inclusion of glasswindows no other part of the villa design was altered.

4.9 Garages and Carports4.9.1 The conversion of existing garages for habitable space, such as a home theatre, drivers room or additional bedroom, is stronglydiscouraged and will not be acceptable.Note: Reduction of garage space forces residents to permanently park their cars uncovered in the driveway or street, and particularly reduces theuseability of the garage for future residents. This further raises the possibility of an additional requirement for a carport, which is also activelydiscouraged. These are not a desirable urban design or urban planning outcomes.

4.9.2 Extensions of the garage are also strongly discouraged and will not be acceptable as this is likely to result in an increase in building bulkat the front of the villa.

Note: Garage extensions are likely to present an unacceptable visual impact to the street as they are likely to dominate the character of the street.This not a desirable urban design outcome.

4.9.3 Carports also are strongly discouraged and will not be acceptable.Note: Carports present an unacceptable visual impact to the street as they are likely to dominate the character of the street. This not a desirableurban design outcome

The intent for the front of the villas is to minimise the addition of built structures (including carports), an approach which will maintain the opennessand amenity of the streetscape. It is therefore unlikely that additional structures, including carports, will be favourably considered. The villas areprovided with a 2-car garage as standard which should provide the majority of residents with adequate day to day needs, with visitors able to parkon the paved driveway area or in the indented parking bays provided in the street.

4.9.4 Additional vehicle crossovers will not be permitted.

4.11 Pools & Jacuzzis4.11.1 Pools and Jacuzzis are not acceptable for Canal Homes.4.11.2 A larger/different pool is acceptable where it does not impact on the provision of soft landscaping (refer to section 4.16), or the structural

integrity of the villa, boundary walls or beach terrace.

Pools will only be permitted in the rear garden, as the semi-public nature of the front garden is not suitable for such a private use.

4.15 Pergolas and Gazebos4.15.1 Pergolas and gazebos are not acceptable for Canal Homes.

4.15.2

Pergolas, gazebos, pool shades and other such structures are acceptable where: located in the back garden (i.e. beach side) of the property only; in keeping with the maximum dimensions prescribed by the example designs opposite; not excessive in area and site cover (i.e. generally not more than 20m2 in area) ; incorporating materials such as wood for structural components and wood, tiles or linen/canvas for roofing material; natural tones such as stained timber are used; they do not adversely impact on the views available from adjacent properties; the structure generally does not include walls or other screening; and the style of the structure coordinates with the architectural style of the villa. Figure 17 demonstrates acceptable and

unacceptable pergola and villa style combinations.

Note: Any built structure such as a pergola, gazebo, shade structure etc must be visually permeable through all elevations so that the structure doesnot adversely impact on the views to the beaches and waterways available from a neighbouring property or present unacceptable additional buildingbulk when viewed from the public realm. The example designs at right demonstrate some pergola designs that are likely to be acceptable, whereconsistent with the villa style.

Figure 29 A poor example of a beach boundary fence. The fence (particularly its colouring) does not coordinatewith the colour palette of the villa. In addition, the placement of plants (whether potted or not) is not to be placed onthe beach terrace, as this land is part of the Common Use Facilities it is not part of the private plot.

4.19 Side Boundary Walls4.19.1 A solid masonry wall forms the existing boundary between villas. This wall is to be retained.Note: The side boundary wall maintains visual and acoustic privacy between villas.
