massing, height, colours and materials used for buildings in City Centre should result in a harmonious and high quality urban design outcome with a recognisable city edge.
 5.             Buildings in City Centre must be of permanent construction.
 6.             The height of buildings in City Centre may be less than but not more than nine storeys provided that:
           * plant rooms and other service elements may be allowed above this height subject to being set back from the building edges and screened from street level view.
           * one or more taller building(s) per section up to a maximum height of RL617 will be considered only in accordance with an approved comprehensive design for the whole section. Comprehensive section designs should seek to use building height to emphasise and reinforce the geometry of the Griffin Plan and the symbolic Main Avenues radiating out from City Hill.
           * where an existing building exceeds the height limitations set out above it will be permissible to consider rebuilding to the same height as the existing building or lower.

Figure 147: Kingston Foreshore area subject to Special Requirements
The Commonwealth's interest in Kingston Foreshore is to ensure the Lake Burley Griffin Foreshore in East Basin continues to be developed as a major landscape feature helping to unify the National Capital's central precincts.
The Kingston Foreshore area forms a prominent urban environment when viewed from within and across East Basin, and from key tourist vantage points such as from Mount Ainslie and Mount Pleasant. Ensuring a notable visual quality, as part of the lake foreshores vista, will be important to maintaining the unity of the central precincts of the National Capital.
The Kingston Foreshore area, which is subject to the following Special Requirements, is that land at Kingston bounded by Bowen Park, Wentworth Avenue (and including the Avenue), Cunningham Street, The Causeway through to Jerrabomberra Creek, Jerrabomberra Creek and a line approximately seven metres behind the wall of Lake Burley Griffin (refer Figure 147).
Development in the Kingston Foreshore area (the 'area') is to retain a working boat harbour and lake maintenance facility and conform to the following Aesthetic Principles.

Foreshore Precinct Landscape
The landscape of the precinct adjacent to the Lake Burley Griffin foreshore Designated Area should be of an open space parkland character consistent with that in Bowen Park. The landscape should permit views into the development through informal tree planting and should include landscape treatment of a high quality allowing for pedestrian and cycleway movement through the area.
The edge of Jerrabomberra Creek should be landscaped as open space allowing for pedestrian movement and have a character not inconsistent
