A message from Brookhaven
Our vision for Brookhaven is to be a place where families thrive. This vision underpins the masterplanning and design work that goes in to making Brookhaven somewhere people will want to live, both today and in the future.
A masterplanned community like Brookhaven brings together and seamlessly coordinates a number of different factors or ingredients to make it successful. Some of these include:
Working with the wonderful natural landscape – to enhance and feature this as part of all residents’ experience of living at Brookhaven. This includes retaining mature trees wherever we can and making waterway and wildlife corridors accessible through multi-use trails.
Working in partnership with Council and other community providers to deliver community parks and activities that provide health, wellbeing and learning opportunities. This work is supported by a dedicated Community Development Manager.
Ensuring that a consistent and enjoyable environment for all is created, maintained and enhanced.
This last point is made possible through the provision of the Brookhaven Design Guidelines and a design approval process for all homes designed and built in Brookhaven.
The Design Guidelines encourage a cohesive streetscape while promoting variety in house design that contributes
to creating a neighbourhood that is visually interesting, environmentally conscious and is of a consistent high quality. There are a number of benefits to having these Brookhaven Design Guidelines in place.
They provide certainty to all future residents and property owners about the standard of housing and environment that is being created.
They will assist in ensuring your home is a comfortable, healthy and environmentally conscious – through simple measures like choosing a different roof colour.
They result in everyone who owns a property in Brookhaven being responsible for and playing a role in ensuring Brookhaven achieves a strong neighbourhood character.
The Brookhaven Design Guidelines form part of the sale contract for land at Brookhaven and are enforceable through this contract. The obligations in the Design Guidelines also pass on to future owners – ensuring a consistent standard is maintained.
We believe these Design Guidelines are an important and essential part of making Brookhaven a success – today and in the future. And that this will ultimately contribute to protecting and enhancing values and ensuring Brookhaven is a place where families can thrive.

Section 5: Mandatory Development Controls
1. Setbacks are as per the Allotment Setbacks Table unless dimensioned otherwise on the Plan of Development.
2. Where nominated built to boundary walls are not adopted side boundary setbacks shall be in accordance with the Allotment Setbacks Table for non-built to boundary walls.
3. Setbacks (including Rear and Side Setbacks in the Allotment Setback Table) are to be measured to the wall of the building/structure, which overrides the requirements of Queensland Development Code. Eaves should not encroach closer than 450mm to the lot boundary.
4. For the calculation of Rear and Side Setbacks as per the Allotments Setback Table for irregular shaped lots, the road frontage is to be calculated as the lot width at the garage limit (5.0m offset from the boundary), which overrides the requirements of QDC.
5. Built to boundary walls:
a. Are to only be built where indicated on the approved Plan of Development, regardless of QDC provisions.
b. Comply with the building design and construction requirements under the Building Code of Australia (whether two or more dwellings are constructed at the same time they may share a common boundary wall); and
c. Contain no windows or openings to the side boundary.
6. Built to boundary walls can be up to 15m in length or 50% of the property boundary, whichever is greater.
7. Private open space is provided at ground level, that:
a. Is at least 16m2 in size (excluding rainwater tanks),
b. Has no dimension less than 3.0m, and
c. Enables access from a living area of the house.
8. Each dwelling sited on an allotment is to provide sufficient distinction in design and materials, such as to be clearly distinguishable from a neighbouring dwelling and thereby create an individual and recognisable street address.
9. A minimum 2 car spaces is to be provided per dwelling, with at least 1 space capable of being covered (parking spaces may be provided in tandem).
10. Any dwelling proposed on a 10m to 12.49m width site frontage, that is a single storey and proposes a side by side double car accommodation must comply with Specific Development Controls A.
11. Driveways are to have a maximum setback of 0.5m from the site boundary.
12. Where a dwelling is located within 2.0m of ground floor level of another dwelling, the windows of habitable rooms with an outlook to the windows of habitable rooms in an adjacent dwelling provide suitable screening such as:
a. Fixed obscure glazing in any part of the window below 1.5m above floor level; or
b. Fixed external screens; or
c. Sill heights of 1.5m above floor level; or
d. In the case of screening for a ground floor level, fencing to a height of 1.5m above ground floor level.
13. Dual occupancy dwellings will not be supported.
Section 6: Specific Development Controls A
6.1 APPLICATION
These development controls apply to all dwellings proposed on a site frontage of 10 to 12.49m width, which is a single storey and proposes a side by side double car accommodation.
Please note these requirements are Council Planning Requirements and cannot be relaxed by the Design Review Panel.
6.2 PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES
• To provide an activated streetscape.
• To provide an articulated streetscape with diversity of built form outcomes.
• To provide a clearly identifiable sense of entry to all dwellings which is perceived as the dominant element in the streetscape hierarchy.
• Adopts sub-tropical design principles.
6.3 ACCEPTABLE SOLUTIONS
1. The dwelling shall address the road frontage with:
i. A habitable space with glazed windows and/or doors orientated towards the road frontage providing outlook from the habitable room; or
ii. A defined (be fencing and/or landscape) private open space area orientated towards the road frontage with a minimal area of 10m2 and a minimum dimension of 3m.
2. The form and streetscape elevation of the dwelling shall be planned to ensure the car accommodation (garage and/ or carport) is setback further than the line of the habitable space or the defined private open space.
3. The form and streetscape elevation of the dwelling shall include varying built elements, roof profiles, eave heights and materials to assist in articulation.
4. Opening to the garage and/or carport shall be no greater than 5.5m in width.
5. The entry to the dwelling shall be clearly identifiable from the road frontage by one or more of the following:
i. Entry door being visible from the road frontage
ii. Gatehouse type element addressing the streetscape
iii. Landscape treatment.
6. A gatehouse shall read as an integrated part of the built form of the dwelling and shall be planned forward of the garage/ carport.
7. Gates and fences addressing the road alignment shall generally be 1500mm in height and no less than 50% transparency.
8. Where two garage and/or carport doors are introduced to articulate the elevation, the door closest to the entry and/ or gatehouse may have a road alignment setback of 4.5m. In this instance, the entry and/or the gatehouse structure shall incorporate the garage/carport opening as an integrated built form element.
9. Carport spaces openable to the private open space may provide opportunity for extending private open space. In this instance, a batten type screen to the carport door is encouraged to promote street activation, cross ventilation and increase diversity of the streetscape elevation.
10. The dwelling shall include the following landscape outcomes:
i. Generous landscaping between the road alignment and the entry/defined private open space including a minimum of 5m2 of low planting (with a minimum dimension of 1.50m) plus minimum of one 200lt tree as part of this approach; and
ii An identifiable and separated pedestrian path with an alternative material to the driveway with ground cover surround.
11. Dwelling design is to be generally consistent with the Specific Development Controls A ‘Design Outcomes’.
12. Two of the same design Specific Development Controls A ‘Design Outcomes’ are not located next to each other.

Recommended Plant Species
The plant species selection should take into consideration the specific local climatic and soil conditions of the site, to ensure suitability. Planting design should utilise plant hierarchies to optimise shade, screening, ventilation and security.
Planting locations are to be determined with solar access and prevailing wind direction in mind and is recommended to make use of the broad planting palette of nominated species in the following table:
Flame Tree Brachychiton acerifolius Golden Penda Xanthostemon chrysanthus Tuckeroo Cupaniopsis anacardioides Tulipwood Harpullia pendula Lilly Pilly Acmena smithii Crow’s Ash Flindersia australis Queensland Maple Flindersia brayleyana White Oak Grevillea baileyana Native Frangipani Hymenosporum flavum Wheel of Fire Stenocarpus sinuatus Lilly Pilly Syzygium australe Weeping lilly pilly Waterhousea floribunda Callistemon species Hop Bush Dodonaea triquetra Grevillea Species Hovea Hovea acutifolia Dogwood Jacksonia scoparia Blue Tongue Hairy Bush Pea Pultenaea villosaFeature Corner Fence
Feature corner fencing is a ship-lapped timber paling fence with capping rail and 100 x 100mm hardwood timber feature posts, painted black where visible from the road. Fences must be installed behind boulder retaining walls, in the provided post sleeves, and must not be strapped or otherwise mounted to any retaining wall faces.
FEATURE CORNER FENCE TYPE A
