with building design.
Building design must incorporate shading and glare control, particularly to manage sun penetration in warmer months. Design features could include:

           balconies or sun shading that extend far enough to shade summer sun, but allow winter sun to penetrate living areas

           shading devices such as eaves, awnings, balconies, pergolas, external louvres

           horizontal shading to north facing window

           vertical shading to east and particularly west facing windows

           operable shading to allow adjustment.

Site specific
Buildings and major structures on land identified for Residential use must be set back a minimum of 15 metres from Yarra Glen road reserve boundary.
No access to Residential land is permitted from Yarra Glen.
For Residential land, detailed conditions of planning, design and development must be approved by the National Capital Authority prior to development. Detailed conditions of planning, design and development must address (at a minimum):

           refined land uses

           building heights and setbacks to roads and boundaries other than those already identified in the National Capital Plan

           impact on, and interface with, the diplomatic estate

           subdivision

           access, road layout and car parking

           building form

           landscape structure and open space

           streetscape

           lighting

           design quality.

Detailed conditions of planning, design and development must be prepared in the context of a strategic planning exercise for the Adelaide Avenue/Yarra Glen corridor, and are subject to public consultation.
