3. The Street

B. Landscape

1. A minimum of twenty five percent (25%) of the ground plane of the main road entrance must be allocated to local flora

Site on Fotheringham Lane, Marrickville. The setback from the street provides steps since the building is elevated and the top step becomes a ‘front yard’ with local flora, accounting for 50% of the setback from the street

C. Postal Service

1. Mail boxes and postal services must be accessible to the postal service person through the main street

2. The distance from the street (pathway) to the mail box(es) must not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total perpendicular length of the building in that direction. Mathematically;

• Y/X < 1/10 Where;

• Y: Distance from street to mailbox

• X: Perpendicular length of building in direction of the main street

D. Rubbish Disposal

1. Similar to postal service, the rubbish collection must be accessible to the council’s rubbish collection person(s) via the main street

2. For larger buildings with a temporary rubbish storage area (which is not a room or outdoor space), this area must open up parallel to the main street as to allow easy access for collection

3. The distance from the street (pathway) to the rubbish collections (bins) must not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total perpendicular length of the building in that direction. Mathematically follow the same formula as 3C.3.

Site on Botany Road, Alexandria. The site length is 52m and the mailbox is 5m from the site boundary. Following the equation in section 3C.2, Y/X < 1/10.

5/52

= 0.96/10, Thus <1/10

Since the rubbish disposal is 4m away, it is also <1/10. This is done so that the services can be maintained within the first 10% of the site and the majority can remain solely for the domestic formalities.
