maintain consistent scale of built form and protect the amenity of neighbouring buildings.
New residential buildings (excluding Live In Accommodation (LIA)) should be a maximum of two storeys in height. New residential buildings should generally be consistent with the height of existing residential development and be designed to protect the amenity of neighbouring buildings.
Where the development site abuts an existing dwelling or LIA, sufficient spatial separation should be provided to ensure the development does not adversely impact on residential amenity.
The siting and location of new development should be compatible with external land uses and set back 20 metres from arterial roads (Morshead Drive and Fairbairn Avenue) to provide a landscape buffer.

Landscape
A landscape structure is to be devised which adds to the legibility of the site by reinforcing the identity of each precinct, establishing pedestrian links and a hierarchy of vehicle circulation.
The open area of land along the ridgeline adjacent to General Bridges Drive will remain as a landscape buffer between RMC and ADFA. No buildings will be constructed within this zone.
Strong vegetative screening is to be maintained along Morshead Drive adjacent to the Operational Support Zone.
Landscape treatment of the perimeter areas is to be compatible with the adjacent land use, the adjacent road and the quality and character of the existing landscape. The perimeter landscape treatment must be a minimum of 20 metres wide, measured from the road verge (except where constrained by existing conditions).
The landscape treatment and the urban design elements (portals, etc) of the Main Entry ('The Badge Gates') to RMC should reflect the formal, prestigious role of the College. The planting of the entry avenue is to be of a formal, deciduous character, similar to the RMC Duntroon Conservation Area.
The Fairbairn Avenue ('The Gun Gates') entry, from Fairbairn Avenue to the RMC Duntroon Conservation Area (Robert Campbell Road) will be planted with Eucalypts to create a link to the rural surrounds and to retain views beneath the canopy to ADFA.
At the junction of the entry avenue and the RMC Duntroon Conservation Area emphasis is to be given to the change in landscape character. Beyond this point the road verge planting is to be continued in deciduous trees and the character of the spaces formalised.

Car parking, access and movement
All car parking demand generated by day to day activities should be accommodated within the confines of RMC and ADFA.  Any parking that is displaced by new development is to be replaced elsewhere on the site.
Car parking should be designed and sited to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, including buses.
Developments should be integrated with the internal pedestrian network and provide safe and convenient
