Guidelines for Siting of Buildings in the Lake Flood Zone as set out below. The Design and Siting General Code is also applicable to development, however, in the event of any contradictions the Detailed Conditions below take precedence.

Detailed site planning, design and development conditions

Visual impact
The foreshore of East Basin is an important landscape vantage‑point with emphasis on seasonal landscape effects. Development on the site should therefore be designed to blend with the surrounding environment.

Built form
Buildings are to be of a domestic scale and designed to avoid the appearance of a large building mass, when viewed from the Lake and from adjoining land. Buildings are to be single storey construction.
Roof forms are to be flat or gently sloping with a view to keeping the height of the buildings as low as practicable.

Materials
Materials and colours selected for buildings should be compatible with the adjoining 'Boat House by the Lake' building and be inconspicuous to achieve a high degree of integration with the setting.

Siting
Buildings on the site should be positioned as far as practicable away from the adjacent development so that each development appears in its own landscape setting.
Buildings should be sited to ensure that members of the public are not deterred from moving freely through the foreshore public open space.

Siting and access
Parking areas are to be generally located to the north of the site with a clearly identified safe entry point off Menindee Drive.
Parking for the development is to be provided at a minimum rate of one space per bed plus one space per staff member.

Service areas
Service areas are to be located on the northern/eastern side(s) of the development and should be screened from view.

Environmental impact
Works designed for the site are to have regard for environmental impacts of the development.
Adverse impacts on the Jerrabomberra Wetlands (a protected habitat for migratory birds) are to be avoided;
A Conservation Management Plan, that records any heritage values and provides relevant management recommendations, is to be prepared.

Off‑site works
An all weather pedestrian pathway is to be provided and maintained along the southern edge of the site within the public open space reserve. This work is to be carried out at the same time as the first stage of the hospice development.

Landscape
The landscape treatment is to reflect the seasonal planting scheme applying to the Grevillea Park land with deciduous planting on the site towards the Lake edge and native planting towards the Morshead Drive side of the site.
The existing plantings on the site should be retained as far as practicable. In particular the poplar stand and other plantings adjacent to the 'Boat House by
