the Lake landscape and does no harm to the environment of the Lake.

Lake maintenance and boat servicing
The placement, form and colour of buildings on any land used for these developments will be subject to detailed site planning standards to ensure that they are in harmony with the lakeside setting.
The Guideline for Siting of Buildings in the Lake Flood Zone will be as set out below.

Siting Policies

Buildings in the Lake flood zone will be subject to the following controls:
     1.        Residential Areas: All habitable floors are to be above the 100 year flood level.
     2.       Commercial Areas: Walkways, service areas, basements are to be above the 100 year flood level.
     3.        Institutional Areas: Walkways, service areas, basement carparks are to be above the 100 year flood level.
     4.       Archives, reference collections, etc. are to be above the 500 year flood, with the establishment of emergency measures to safeguard collections in the event of a more extreme flood.
Structures should be designed and sited so that they do not make flood levels worse, upstream or downstream. They should be capable of withstanding the forces created by flood water pressure and prevent accumulation of flood debris, in accordance with the requirements of the Building Ordinance.
Floating structures must be securely and suitably anchored or be capable of rapid removal to safe anchorage in the event of a very large flood; otherwise they could be a danger to the flood gates on Scrivener Dam.

4.13.2 Background
Acton Peninsula's national significance is derived from its importance in the Griffin Plan and its demonstration of the unique relationship between the city and the landscape in the National Capital. The Peninsula visually connects Black Mountain to the Lake and provides a landscape edge and setting to the West Basin of Lake Burley Griffin.
This is further enhanced by Acton Peninsula's historical and cultural importance in the development of the Australian Capital Territory. The Peninsula was the first site settled by Europeans in the Canberra region and was the administrative centre for the development of the National Capital until after World War II.
Its national significance is reinforced through its proximity to the Parliamentary Zone which enables direct views of the National Library, National Gallery, and the High Court of Australia.
