Building height

A maximum height limit of RL591 has been established for the Barton area including this site. Individual consideration will be given to special vertical elements such as a spire or tower associated with a cathedral building on Block 31 Section 6 Barton.
The height limit establishes a maximum height for commercial buildings flanking Blackall Street with residential, community and other ancillary uses being located in buildings located closer to the Lake, following the sloping terrain of the site and stepping down to three and two levels for the building nearer Bowen Drive.

Built form

The built form should have regard for the site topography, stepping down the slope in terraced levels presenting a series of building 'fingers' interspersed with landscaped zones fanning around the contours.
The built form for residential development should be a minimum height of three levels and a maximum of four levels (one being a covered car parking level).
Unbroken, wall like façades will not be permitted. Terraces, balconies, roof decks and awnings are encouraged as a means of modulating façades.

Building setbacks

Buildings should be set back at least six metres from Blackall Street with a 10 metre landscaped setback from Bowen Drive and satisfy the relevant ACT criteria regarding noise standards.

Access and parking

Primary vehicle access is to be from Blackall Street. With the exception of a limited amount of visitor parking, all car parking should be contained in structures (in basements or decked) and screened from external view.

Building materials

Unpainted galvanised metal will not be permitted on roofs, parapets or fascias.

Pedestrian and bicycle movement

A pedestrian pathway/easement through the site is to link Blackall Street to Bowen Drive and the edge of the Lake.
