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 />

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 />

4.0 Design Guidelines<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 />

4.3 Building Design Standards<br />

4.3.1 General Approach<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 />

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 />

13 Dandenong LOGIS South Eco-Industrial Park Version 1, 9th October 2008


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 />

• 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 />

Fences and gates should be<br />

behind or in line with building<br />

on street frontages<br />

Fence types shall be specified<br />

on the landscape plans<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 />

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 />
