Dandenong LOGIS South Eco-Industrial Park<br />
Version 1, 9th October 2008
1.0 Introduction<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park, Greens Road, Dandenong, will set<br />
a national standard in <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>park</strong> development based on environmental and<br />
social principles which encourage businesses, employees and the community to<br />
work and prosper together.<br />
This fi rst phase of the development will be the land <strong>south</strong> of Greens Road.<br />
1.1 Application of the <strong>Urban</strong> Design Guidelines<br />
This document is known as the Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial<br />
Park <strong>Urban</strong> Design Guidelines. These Guidelines apply to all land<br />
<strong>south</strong> of Greens Road as defi ned by the red outline in Figure 1<br />
Indicative Concept Master Plan and as shown in Figure 2 Plan of<br />
Subdivision. They have been prepared to provide direction on the<br />
<strong>design</strong>, site layout and future management of each site within the<br />
development. The objective of these Guidelines is to ensure that<br />
individual lots, and the development as a whole, are <strong>design</strong>ed within<br />
a sustainable <strong>design</strong> framework.<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park intends to set a<br />
new benchmark for <strong>industrial</strong> development <strong>design</strong>. To achieve<br />
this outcome, a high standard of urban <strong>design</strong>, architecture and<br />
landscape architecture is required. This is to ensure the quality<br />
of the development and maximise the value of investment in the<br />
development. In turn, this will improve the quality of the work<br />
environment and attractiveness to businesses, customers and<br />
employees alike.<br />

1.0 Introduction<br />
1.2 Background<br />
The Concept Master Plan developed by Fender Katsalidis Architects<br />
was driven by a desire to achieve:<br />
• environmental and urban <strong>design</strong> excellence;<br />
• respond to the commercial realities of the market and the<br />
pragmatic requirements of industry;<br />
• embody programs for environmentally sensitive <strong>design</strong> including<br />
water sensitive urban <strong>design</strong> (WSUD);<br />
• enhance connectivity between the site and the surrounding<br />
areas and<br />
• provision of a range of community facilities.<br />
The plan of subdivision is derived from the Concept Master Plan and<br />
provides a variety of lot sizes in order to accommodate a diversity of<br />
businesses within the one site.<br />
The Design Principles in this document are performance based<br />
rather than prescriptive, to encourage innovation and creativity.<br />
They focus on outcomes such as <strong>design</strong> excellence, environmental<br />
sustainability, amenity, environmental comfort, and community<br />
connectedness and well-being.<br />
Performance based <strong>guidelines</strong> describe a condition to be achieved<br />
and then leave it to the <strong>design</strong>er/applicant to manage the outcome<br />
within their own parameters. Prescriptive Guidelines provide<br />
outcomes which must be achieved and the mechanism by which<br />
they will/must be achieved. They are usually far less fl exible than<br />
Performance measures.<br />

1.0 Introduction<br />
1.3 Assessment Process<br />
These Guidelines are presented in a simple format with a step by<br />
step approval process outlined in Section 3.0 Dandenong Logis<br />
South Eco-Industrial Park Development Checklist.<br />
The Guidelines will be administered by the Vic<strong>Urban</strong> Design Review<br />
Panel which will examine all submitted documentation to ensure<br />
that the proposal is acceptable from both a site and broader<br />
development perspective, prior to submission of a planning permit<br />
application to the City of Greater Dandenong.The Design Review<br />
Panel evaluation will be based on a weighting scheme that refl ects<br />
the relative importance of each guideline.<br />
This process is <strong>design</strong>ed to facilitate the overall approvals process<br />
and ensure a quality outcome for the development.<br />
Please note that the Design Review Panel approval does not<br />
eliminate the need to obtain planning approval under the provisions<br />
of the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme.<br />
1.4 Reference Documents<br />
These Guidelines have been prepared with reference to the Greater<br />
Dandenong Planning Scheme (The ’Planning Scheme’) and State<br />
Government policy.<br />
In addition to these Guidelines, prospective purchasers and land<br />
owners are advised to view the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme.<br />
1.5 Graphics Note<br />
Graphics are indicative only. The graphics used in this document are a<br />
tool for explaining <strong>design</strong> concepts and should not be interpreted as the<br />
solution for a specifi c site. Each site presents a unique set of conditions<br />
which require careful consideration by the developer and <strong>design</strong> team.<br />
The landscape has been deliberately omitted to improve the clarity of<br />
the graphics<br />
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the <strong>design</strong><br />
standards in the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme are met.<br />

4.0 Design Guidelines<br />
4.0 Design Guidelines<br />
The following section sets out the Design Guidelines for lots in<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park.<br />
4.1 Access and Circulation<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park has been <strong>design</strong>ed for<br />
pedestrians, cyclists, trucks and cars. The development is adjacent<br />
to the Dandenong Creek bicycle path which forms part of the longer<br />
“City to the Bay Trail” along EastLink. This gives the development<br />
excellent access to an extensive network of shared pedestrian and<br />
commuter bicycle paths.<br />
Other access and circulation issues are the functional and safety<br />
requirements for access, loading and car <strong>park</strong>s and how these<br />
accommodate the environmental and urban <strong>design</strong> objectives<br />
through the application of water sensitive urban <strong>design</strong> principles,<br />
minimizing areas of pavements and maximising landscaped areas<br />
(Section 4.5) to reduce surface heat and improve amenity.<br />
4.1.1 Travel Plan<br />
All businesses are required to work with Vic<strong>Urban</strong> to develop an<br />
alternate Travel Plan for employees. This will involve identifying staff<br />
travel requirements and how ride sharing, bicycle facilities, priority<br />
<strong>park</strong>ing, shuttle bus services and so forth can best provide for<br />
employees’ travel requirements.<br />
4.1.2 Pedestrians and Cyclists<br />
An important feature of Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park<br />
is to encourage pedestrian and cyclist movement. The following is<br />
required:<br />
• separate pedestrian cyclist circulation from vehicular movements<br />
wherever possible/appropriate;<br />
• maintain clear sightlines at all vehicular crossovers for pedestrians<br />
and cyclists;<br />
• secure bicycle storage, lockers and showers are to be provided for<br />
staff and employees. A minimum of 5 secure bicycle spaces, one<br />
locker for every secure bicycle space and a minimum of 2 showers<br />
(male and female) to be provided and<br />
• for offi ce spaces greater than 750m2, or with staff greater than 50,<br />
secure bicycle storage is required for a minimum of 10% of the<br />
staff based on a staffi ng density of 1/15m2. A locker is required<br />
for each bicycle storage space and one shower per ten bicycle<br />
spaces is required.<br />
Provide pedestrian<br />
paths separate from<br />
vehicular routes<br />
Provide adequate<br />
bicycle racks and/or lockers<br />
for staff<br />
Provide appropriate visibility<br />
and clear sightlines at vehicle<br />
crossovers<br />

4.1.3 Car Parking & Circulation<br />
Car <strong>park</strong>ing and circulation are important <strong>design</strong> considerations<br />
and a key feature of the site planning for Dandenong Logis South<br />
Eco-Industrial Park. The following is required:<br />
• car<strong>park</strong>s and car <strong>park</strong>ing are not permitted within the front 5 metre<br />
landscape setback from the front boundary;<br />
• the setback must be landscaped and the area should be mounded<br />
or other similar treatments provided to partially screen cars while<br />
maintaining overall safety and sightlines;<br />
• car<strong>park</strong>s must be setback a minimum 1.5 meters from the edge of<br />
a building to allow for a landscape buffer and vehicle overhang;<br />
• no car <strong>park</strong>ing is allowed adjacent to a natural ventilation or outside<br />
air intake;<br />
• car<strong>park</strong>s greater than 6 car spaces shall generally be located<br />
behind the front building line;<br />
• car <strong>park</strong>s shall be landscaped with canopy trees (minimum of one<br />
tree per 6 bays, spaced to maximise shade);<br />
• large car<strong>park</strong>s shall include landscape “islands” to allow additional<br />
canopy tree and shrub planting. Plant species shall be selected to<br />
allow clear sightlines for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists and<br />
• provision for power supply for electric cars is to be provided in car<br />
<strong>park</strong>ing areas at a rate of 1 powered site per 10 car spaces with a<br />
minimum of one.<br />

4.2 Development Envelope<br />
Lot owners should consult the title for all easements and encumbrances<br />
and for any additional requirements relating to their lot.<br />
4.2.1 Site Layout and Building Orientation<br />
The orientation of buildings to take advantage of passive solar<br />
access and prevailing winds is an important consideration during site<br />
planning. The following should be addressed:<br />
• building orientation and <strong>design</strong> to maximise northern and <strong>south</strong>ern<br />
exposure and minimise or shade east and west facing windows and<br />
openings;<br />
• orientation and openings to maximise natural cross fl ow<br />
ventilation and<br />
• landscape to be <strong>design</strong>ed to provide summer shade and sun<br />
in winter.<br />

4.0 Design Guidelines<br />
4.2.2 Front Setback<br />
A minimum front setback of 5 metres from the boundary to the<br />
building line has been <strong>design</strong>ated for buildings of 1 storey<br />
(maximum of 4 meters in height) unless otherwise agreed by the<br />
DRP. A minimum front setback of 9 metres from the boundary to<br />
the building line has been <strong>design</strong>ated for buildings of 2 storeys<br />
(maximum of 9 metres in height) unless otherwise agreed by the<br />
DRP (see also Section 4.2.4 building heights). This setback has<br />
been established to present a harmonious, coordinated streetscape<br />
throughout the development. This will allow for appropriate<br />
separation of the built form from the street and adjoining<br />
developments and accommodate landscaping.<br />
With the exception of vehicular access, crossovers and access<br />
drives, all front setbacks must be landscaped in accordance with<br />
Section 4.5.4.<br />
Building confi guration is fl exible as demonstrated in Figure 10:<br />
4.2.3 Side and Rear Setbacks<br />
As for front setbacks, the building setbacks for the side and rear of<br />
sites has been established to present a harmonious and consistent<br />
streetscape:<br />
• Setbacks on corner lots must allow for suffi cient sightlines<br />
for vehicular traffi c in accordance with the relevant Australian<br />
Standard.<br />
• For corner lots a minimum setback of 5 metres applies to buildings<br />
fronting the s<strong>eco</strong>nd lower order street frontage subject to<br />
compliance with the above requirement.<br />
• Buildings may be constructed with a nil setback to side boundaries<br />
subject to Vic<strong>Urban</strong> and the City of Greater Dandenong approval.<br />
Any such proposal should be discussed with the Design Review<br />
Panel at the pre-application meeting.<br />
• Along one side of the lot only, as shown on Figure 10 - Indicative<br />
Building Setback, a minimum 1.5m landscape setback to the edge<br />
of the boundary is required. This setback is to extend a minimum<br />
length equivalent to 20% of the total depth from front of the<br />
allotment. A 2.0m side landscape setback is required where there<br />
is no landscape setback on the adjoining lot More detailed<br />
landscape setbacks are shown on fi gure 10A - Side Landscape<br />
Setbacks. Any variation to this setback condition must be<br />
submitted for consideration by the DRP, to demonstrate how it will<br />
make a positive contribution to the Dandenong Logis South Eco-<br />
Industrial Park South streetscape and environs.<br />
4.2.4 Building Heights<br />
In general, building heights at Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial<br />
Park are not prescribed. However, if the built form is built to the<br />
minimum front setback of 5 metres from the boundary to the<br />
building line, then the height of the building must not exceed 1<br />
storey at this point (maximum of 4 meters in height) unless<br />
otherwise agreed by the DRP. A setback of 9 metres applies for two<br />
storey buildings (maximum of 9 metres in height) unless otherwise<br />
agreed by the DRP.<br />
Buildings should not generally overshadow public footpaths between<br />
the hours of 11:00AM and 2:00PM at the Winter Solstice, June 21.<br />

The style and <strong>design</strong> of the built form can have a signifi cant impact<br />
on the effi ciency of business operations, on-going operational costs,<br />
working conditions and the quality of the working environment.<br />
Applicants are required to engage the services of a qualifi ed<br />
architect in the preparation of <strong>design</strong> concepts, documentation and<br />
administration of construction.<br />
General requirements are as follows:<br />
In order to ensure a harmonious overall appearance to the<br />
streetscapes of Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park, the<br />
following techniques should be applied:<br />
• buildings to ‘face’ or ‘address’ the street frontage(s) and open<br />
space with pedestrian generating activities such as offi ces located<br />
to create visual interest and provide surveillance to the street;<br />
• integration of internal and external spaces;<br />
• provision to screen hard stand, loading, storage, rubbish disposal,<br />
plant, equipment and other similar uses in side and rear areas;<br />
• siting and <strong>design</strong> based on environmentally sustainable principles<br />
considering solar aspect, materials and fi nishes, embodied energy<br />
and ongoing energy consumption and<br />
• environmentally sustainable <strong>design</strong> (ESD) initiatives are encouraged<br />
at Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park including the use of<br />
solar hot water, and natural ventilation, along with on site collection<br />
and reuse of stormwater.<br />

4.3 Building Design Standards<br />
4.3.2 Architectural Style<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park encourages innovation<br />
in <strong>design</strong> and the incorporation of <strong>design</strong> elements which reduce<br />
consumption and costs over the life cycle of the building .<br />
The site lends itself to “signature treatments” which highlight the<br />
unique energy and environmental credentials of the site and the<br />
development:<br />
• buildings shall demonstrate excellence of <strong>design</strong> and quality<br />
in detail and construction, with best practice in environmental<br />
sustainability;<br />
• buildings shall be of a contemporary style with modulated and<br />
articulated façade treatments. Offi ce areas shall be of a more<br />
’human’ scale and located near to the street frontage for visual<br />
interest, to provide surveillance of the street, and to enhance<br />
site legibility;<br />
• all outbuildings and related uses shall be <strong>design</strong>ed to be compatible<br />
with the overall site theme and<br />
• external signage, plumbing, heating and ventilation shall be<br />
integrated with the building <strong>design</strong>. ESD initiative elements may be<br />
exposed and highlighted, such as solar panels, wind turbines or<br />
similar energy generating elements in the <strong>design</strong>.<br />

4.3 Building Design Standards<br />
4.3.3 Building Design<br />
Offi ces, factories and warehouses present a signifi cant opportunity<br />
to save energy through well considered passive building <strong>design</strong>.<br />
An architect or appropriate building <strong>design</strong> consultant with<br />
demonstrated passive solar <strong>design</strong> and environmentally sensitive<br />
<strong>design</strong> (ESD) skills is to be engaged to <strong>design</strong> all buildings on the<br />
site. Issues to be considered during <strong>design</strong> include:<br />
• scale and massing of the built form;<br />
• building and window orientation;<br />
• window size and glass type;<br />
• roof materials and colour;<br />
• thermal mass and fl oor material;<br />
• façade material, colour and surface treatments;<br />
• insulation;<br />
• landscape to provide amenity, shade and moderation of the<br />
building microclimate;<br />
• external shading to reduce summer heat particularly on windows<br />
and roofs;<br />
• natural ventilation with generous, all weather openings which<br />
take advantage of the height of the spaces and drive buoyancy<br />
ventilation and<br />
• natural light.<br />
4.3.4 Building Services - lighting, heating, cooling etc<br />
(excluding manufacturing plant & operations)<br />
In addition to <strong>design</strong>, building services such as lighting, heating and<br />
cooling can be used to improve the environmental performance and<br />
effi ciency of a building in the following manner:<br />
• separate metering of water and electricity is required for buildings<br />
with multiple uses or multiple tenants;<br />
• zoning of lighting to match use and movement sensitive lighting<br />
controls are required;<br />
• shut-off valve at stormwater outlets is required to trap any<br />
stormwater spills;<br />
• chillers (non manufacturing) to have high COP values appropriate<br />
to size and use;<br />
• all water fi ttings are to be minimum 4A WELS rated;<br />
• waterless urinals are required at minimum;<br />
• energy effi cient lighting to be used throughout;<br />
• gas boosted solar hot water is required for staff amenities (kitchen,<br />
toilets, showers) unless approved otherwise and<br />
• a rainwater and recycled water storage tank of 10,000 litres<br />
minimum is required for toilet fl ushing, Irrigation or other<br />
permissible non-potable water uses. The tank should allow 50% of<br />
its storage for recycled water unless otherwise agreed by the DRP.<br />
Any alternative to the tank size or recycled water volume, should<br />
be supported with water balance calculations specifi c to the site.<br />
This tank can potentially also be combined with fi re fi ghting storage<br />
for larger allotments.<br />
Other opportunities include:<br />
• waste heat r<strong>eco</strong>very systems which use waste heat from<br />
refrigeration systems or other sources, for uses such as preheating<br />
of hot water;<br />
• alternatives to cooling towers such as air-cooled systems, ground<br />
source heat rejection or pond heat rejection;<br />
• the need for system controls for the operation of non<br />
manufacturing plant is to be considered, and<br />
• strategic use of translucent/transparent wall and roof cladding<br />
to increase natural light.<br />

4.3 Building Design Standards<br />
4.3.5 Office Design<br />
A good indoor offi ce environment improves health, worker satisfaction,<br />
retention rates and productivity. Factors to be addressed include:<br />
Air quality<br />
• ventilations systems are to be <strong>design</strong>ed to supply a generous<br />
amount of fresh air through the use of natural cross fl ow<br />
ventilation. Other opportunities to improve air quality include<br />
the use of chilled beams and full fresh air displacement;<br />
• low VOC paints and low-formaldehyde fl oor coverings, adhesives<br />
and furniture are to be used and<br />
• indoor plants are to be provided, where possible to assist in the<br />
fi ltering of air and removal of pollutants.<br />
Visual and thermal comfort<br />
• provision of natural light over artifi cial light;<br />
• control of direct sun in working areas;<br />
• two component artifi cial lighting is required which includes<br />
refl ected light to the ceiling and task lighting for desks;<br />
• radiant heat is to be controlled through the glazed façade by<br />
shading and/or performance glass;<br />
• occupant control of comfort parameters (e.g. operable windows,<br />
control of temperature and air fl ow) and<br />
• other considerations include hydronic heating and ceiling fans.<br />
Other<br />
• protection from excessive noise, particularly when windows are<br />
open is required and<br />
• provision of quality landscaped outdoor amenity areas for staff for<br />
lunch and recreation is required.<br />
4.3.6 Materials & Finishes<br />
Materials and fi nishes are to be selected for appropriateness to their<br />
use and environmental impact:<br />
General<br />
• materials used in the construction of buildings shall be appropriate<br />
for their use;<br />
• the materials shall allow ongoing change and weathering without<br />
reduction in their inherent qualities;<br />
• materials with low refl ectance values, Solar Refl ective Index<br />
(SRI) < 0.4 are to be used;<br />
• materials used for the construction of walls on or near boundaries<br />
shall be of a similar standard to the materials used for the remainder<br />
of the building. These walls should be fully integrated into the<br />
building <strong>design</strong>;<br />
• the selection of materials used for the construction of buildings<br />
shall, as part of their selection, take into consideration the<br />
environmental impact of the materials;<br />
• wherever practical, materials should be sourced locally to reduce<br />
transportation;<br />
• spectrally selective glazing with thermal qualities to be used where<br />
shading is diffi cult to achieve;<br />
• roof <strong>design</strong> should include consideration of the size, placement<br />
and character of equipment and protrusions and<br />
• roof materials and colours to refl ect heat.<br />
Steel<br />

• 90% of construction waste is to be recycled.<br />
14 Dandenong LOGIS South Eco-Industrial Park Version 1, 9th October 2008
4.4 Water Sensitive <strong>Urban</strong> Design<br />
4.4.1 Principles and Objectives<br />
The Water Sensitive <strong>Urban</strong> Design (WSUD) principles for Dandenong<br />
Logis South Eco-Industrial Park are centred on achieving integrated<br />
water cycle management, and directed at environmental protection<br />
of the receiving waters and water harvesting catchments.<br />
Water recycling and re-use<br />
The collection, treatment and subsequent reuse of wastewater,<br />
rainwater and stormwater should be optimised to minimise the<br />
quantities of potable water consumed by the site as a whole.<br />
Recycled water availability<br />
Class “A” recycled water is expected to be made available to<br />
Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park subject to the upgrade of<br />
the Eastern Treatment Plant in 2012.<br />
Efficient irrigation systems<br />
While the landscape of both public spaces and private lots is<br />
<strong>design</strong>ed to minimise irrigation, some limited irrigation may still be<br />
required. To encourage water conservation, these irrigation systems<br />
are to incorporate demand management initiatives and practices<br />
such as drip fl ow irrigation and night-time/early morning irrigation to<br />
reduce evaporation losses.<br />
Stormwater treatment<br />
Stormwater will be treated in precinct wetlands. Treated water will<br />
then discharge into Dandenong Creek or contribute to the water<br />
recycling system.<br />
Large sites may be able to include localized raingardens on site prior<br />
to discharge from the site.<br />
4.4.2 Stormwater and WSUD During Construction<br />
During the construction period, and in normal daily operations, the<br />
lot owner must ensure that an appropriate WSUD strategy is in place<br />
to protect the system and catchment from erosion and sediment<br />
build up. This needs to be a whole of site and construction works<br />
approach to control siltation, overland runoff and temporary and<br />
permanent drainage. Initiatives required include:<br />
• the early connection of building roofs to on-site water storage or to<br />
discharge as early as possible;<br />
• construction operations, including cleaning of equipment and<br />
tools, within the site boundaries and in <strong>design</strong>ated areas to contain<br />
pollutants;<br />
• all solid waste generated by the site to be placed in wind proof<br />
containers and protected from surface runoff;<br />
• accidental spills of soil or other materials onto roads, drains, swales<br />
or other locations must be removed promptly. Washing of any such<br />
materials down drains is strictly prohibited;<br />
• sediment control devices be inspected and all excess material<br />
removed prior to and after storm events;<br />
• site entry points to be managed to control tracking of soils and<br />
other materials off the site;<br />
• sediment control devices to be used on the low side of the site<br />
and around soil stockpiles and checked regularly for build up and<br />
functionality and<br />
• a Construction Management Plan to address how WSUD will be<br />
implemented across the site is to be prepared and sighted by the<br />
Design Review Panel at application or condition stage.<br />
4.4.3 Stormwater and WSUD During Operation<br />
All impervious surfaces must be adequately served with appropriate<br />
stormwater inlets to ensure all stormwater is handled within the site<br />
boundary prior to legal discharge.<br />
Maintenance strategies must be implemented to ensure that no<br />
soils, sedimentation or other eroded materials enter the stormwater<br />
system.<br />
All inadvertent discharge from equipment and vehicle cleaning,<br />
servicing and so forth (not captured by the wastewater system) must<br />
be cleansed and fi ltered prior to entry into the stormwater system.<br />
15 Dandenong LOGIS South Eco-Industrial Park Version 1, 9th October 2008
4.5 Landscape Design Standards<br />
4.5.1 Design Approach<br />
A landscape <strong>design</strong> for each site is to be prepared by a Landscape<br />
Architect. The <strong>design</strong> is to refl ect, respond to and extend the overall<br />
landscape approach of Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park,<br />
and complement the uses contained within the lot. The <strong>design</strong> shall:<br />
• provide a high level of amenity for workers and visitors by providing<br />
summer shade, winter sun, and wind breaks;<br />
• outdoor staff amenity areas should be comfortable and screened<br />
from potentially harmful uses on site;<br />
• paved areas are to be shaded to reduce the ‘heat island effect’. At least<br />
50% of the paved area (hardstand and car <strong>park</strong>ing) is to be shaded;<br />
• trees and vegetation are to be positioned to respond to the need<br />
for sunlight control within the building;<br />
• run-off from paved areas is to be minimised;<br />
• minimum of 15% of the site area is to be pervious. This can be<br />
achieved via either landscaping or the use of permeable paving<br />
materials;<br />
• irrigation systems are to be fed by water captured and reused on<br />
the site backed up by recycled water from the third pipe;<br />
• <strong>design</strong>s should refl ect the scale and site uses;<br />
• hardscape elements must be robust;<br />
• plant material should be chosen that does not require irrigation<br />
from the potable water supply (large areas of turf should be<br />
avoided);<br />
• all areas must be landscaped with a particular emphasis on street<br />
frontages. Side and rear boundaries must be landscaped and<br />
maintained and<br />
• the Landscape Architect must consider maintenance methods to<br />
ensure that all <strong>design</strong>s are practical and easily maintained.<br />
4.5.2 Plant Species<br />
Indigenous planting is adapted to the local climate, resulting in<br />
requirement for supplementary irrigation and maintenance to be<br />
minimised. Indigenous planting also provides habitat for local fauna.<br />
The species identifi ed in the attached plant list are to be used unless<br />
approved otherwise.<br />
4.5.3 Landscape Materials & Finishes<br />
There are many opportunities to reduce the environmental<br />
impacts associated with the procurement of materials used<br />
in construction. All materials should be scrutinized for their<br />
sustainability characteristics. As a matter of course, locally sourced<br />
and sustainably produced materials, as well as recycled and re-used<br />
materials should be used:<br />
• a schedule of materials and fi nishes is to be incorporated in the<br />
landscape plans and specifi cations and<br />
• any material excavated on the site must either be re-used on the<br />
site or, as a minimum, be disposed to a municipal landfi ll for use as<br />
daily cover. Transport of any soil excavated on the site for re-use<br />
at another site not part of the former DTP, is not permitted.<br />

4.5 Landscape Design Standards<br />
4.5.4 Front Setback Landscape<br />
The Dandenong Logis South Eco-Industrial Park will establish a<br />
unique relationship between public landscape and private domain<br />
by ensuring that the front of allotments contribute positively to the<br />
character of the public streetscape. This will include the <strong>design</strong> of<br />
robust and legible planting as an integral part of the <strong>design</strong> and siting<br />
of private buildings. Signifi cant street tree planting will be a feature.<br />
This will be achieved through a combination of planting in the public<br />
realm and in private lots.<br />
The landscape on lots shall be complimentary to that of the public<br />
streetscape (materials, planting and scale):<br />
• incorporate new tree planting to the front of private lots. One (1)<br />
tree is to be provided for every six (6) metres of total allotment<br />
frontage;<br />
• utilise native species selected from the attached plant list which are<br />
drought tolerant and which also provide habitat and food for native<br />
animals;<br />
• encourage good solar access by (where possible) planting<br />
deciduous trees closer to buildings on the <strong>south</strong> side of east- west<br />
streets and planting evergreen trees to the north;<br />
• be <strong>design</strong>ed to maximise surveillance and<br />
• minimise exposed back fences and/or blind walls<br />
4.5.5 Fencing<br />
Fencing is an important streetscape element:<br />
• fences and gates shall be integrated with the <strong>design</strong> of the building,<br />
and should generally be visually permeable and unobtrusive.<br />
They should be set back to, or behind the building line so that the<br />
building itself b<strong>eco</strong>mes part of the security solution along the street<br />
frontage;<br />
• fencing should generally be horizontal along the top, particularly<br />
when in close proximity to buildings and<br />
• all fencing shall be specifi ed on the Landscape Plans (type,<br />
dimensions, materials and colour).<br />
Refer Figure 15<br />
Fences shall be visually unobtrusive<br />
and visually permeable<br />
Fences and gates should be<br />
integral to the <strong>design</strong> of the<br />
buildings<br />

4.5.6 External Lighting<br />
Lighting provides both security and amenity:<br />
• lighting must be adequate to ensure a safe and secure environment;<br />
• all car<strong>park</strong>ing and pedestrian routes should be lit;<br />
• all outdoor lighting to be <strong>design</strong>ed for its specifi c use;<br />
• baffl ed or directional lighting shall be used to avoid the potential for<br />
light ’spill’ from each lot;<br />
• no unnecessary external lighting is permissible and<br />
• energy effi cient systems are preferred.<br />
Refer Figure 16:<br />

4.5 Landscape Design Standards<br />
4.5.7 Safe Design<br />
Site layout and <strong>design</strong> should conform to the principles of Safer<br />
Design or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)<br />
principles.<br />
Key principles include:<br />
• clear sightlines;<br />
• safe movement, good connections and access;<br />
• active and passive surveillance of the public realm from private property;<br />
• ‘neck to knee’ clearance zones in landscaped car <strong>park</strong> areas for<br />
better surveillance;<br />
• lighting of car <strong>park</strong>s and pedestrian routes;<br />
• visually permeable fencing along open space edges to sites;<br />
• clear signage;<br />
• vandal proof fi ttings on furniture an other items and<br />
• use of robust durable materials.<br />
4.5.8 Signage<br />
Well <strong>design</strong>ed integrated signage is an important <strong>design</strong> element:<br />
• businesses are encouraged to develop an overall signage strategy<br />
for their site incorporating business, directional and temporary<br />
signage as an integrated package;<br />
• business signage should be incorporated into the built form in a<br />
manner which is integrated with the building <strong>design</strong> in scale, colour<br />
and style;<br />
• directional Signage should assist with wayfi nding on the site for<br />
pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists, including entry and exits, <strong>park</strong>ing<br />
controls and delivery and reception areas. Directional signage<br />
should be part of an overall signage ‘language’ of fonts, colours<br />
and other related imagery for the site and<br />
• all permanent and temporary signage, banners, fl ags, hoardings,<br />
etc to be approved by the Design Review Panel and relevant<br />
government and non-government authorities.<br />
Refer Figure 17:<br />

4.6.1 Waste Storage & Disposal<br />
As part of an overall site management strategy:<br />
• waste storage and disposal facilities should be integrated with the<br />
site <strong>design</strong>;<br />
• waste and refuse must be stored in a purpose built facility and<br />
screened from the street frontages and staff amenity areas. Where<br />
possible these areas should be contained within buildings. Wind<br />
proof cages should be used to prevent scattering of waste and<br />
• recycling storage facilities must be provided.<br />
4.6.2 Storage Areas<br />
All external plant, service yards and bulk storage areas shall be<br />
confi ned to the rear of the lot unless approved otherwise by the<br />
Design Review Panel. Refer 4.5.5 Fencing Guidelines.<br />
4.6.3 Building Maintenance<br />
All buildings, signage, car <strong>park</strong>s and paved areas are to be<br />
maintained to a high level of presentation:<br />
• all painted surfaces are to be kept in good repair with regular<br />
scheduled repainting as required;<br />
• preventative maintenance should be undertaken as part of a<br />
regularly scheduled process. A site maintenance manual and<br />
schedule should be prepared and used on a recurring basis and<br />
