Block 10 Section 13 Forrest
The following conditions apply to Block 10 Section 13 Forrest.
The objectives of these development conditions are to:
       * Ensure excellent urban design for this important precinct on the final approach to the Parliamentary Zone.

       * Provide an opportunity for the development of mixed use facilities, including 'Residential', Diplomatic Mission', and 'Commercial Accommodation (Hotel and Serviced Apartments only)'.

       * Achieve a built form for the Canberra Avenue frontage similar to other sites adjacent to the final approach to the Parliamentary Zone.

       * Achieve a built form for the State Circle frontage similar to that of the sites fronting State Circle in the Deakin/Forrest residential area.

Building height
Buildings fronting Canberra Avenue are to be a maximum height of RL594. Buildings fronting State Circle are to be a maximum height of RL591.

Architecture
Architectural treatment must exhibit design excellence, reflecting the prestige of the site location. Buildings must be designed to ensure protection of the amenity of surrounding buildings and public spaces, including privacy and overlooking.
Modulation of facades, sun shading and balconies, and clear articulation of building elements, textures and materials, should be employed to provide interest and variety to the streetscape.
Development must be contained by the Development Zone indicated at Figure 36. Articulation elements permitted in the articulation zone are awnings, shade devices, dwelling entries and roof elements. Balconies are not permitted forward of the primary building setbacks.
Legible entries are to be provided from Canberra Avenue and State Circle. Balconies off living areas should be a minimum dimension of 2.5 metres. Balcony balustrades must be solid to optimise privacy.
Rooftop plant and equipment, if required, should be carefully integrated with the roof form and design of the building and screened from public view from the street and Parliament House. Internal floor to ceiling dimensions should generally be a minimum of 2.7 metres to promote natural lighting and cross‑ventilation, consistent with energy efficiency objectives and creation of generously scaled façades. Ground floor level must be equal to or greater than the existing adjacent kerb level.

Setbacks
Buildings should appear as a continuation of existing setback geometries of Canberra Avenue, Hobart Avenue and State Circle. To achieve this, a variable boundary setback to the State Circle frontage is permitted, and in this case setback to road geometry will be given precedence over the setback to the site boundary. Building setbacks from Canberra Avenue and State Circle and rear and side setbacks are indicated in Figure 36.

Access
Vehicular access arrangements will be agreed by the relevant approval authorities,
