PLANNING REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The proposal is for the demolition of an office building and the construction of a 13 level building,
comprising 11 levels of apartments, ground and mezzanine level office accommodation and a
partially covered rooftop terrace and comprises the following:
Maximum building height of 45.5m to the top of the roof/plant screen (87.90m AHD). The
height to the top of the parapet on level 12 is 41.1m. The roof top level will be setback some
7m from South Terrace and 6m from the north.
11 apartments (one apartment per floor over 11 levels) comprising the following:
- A total area of 333m2
- 225m² of internal living space
- 48m² of internal garaging. Each apartment has two car parks located within the
apartment itself, accessed via a car lift. These spaces are adaptable and can be
converted to another use should two spaces not be required (i.e storage/gallery). The
northern garage is partly glazed to provide a feature to the living area; the southern
garage is wider to provide for additional storage and flexibility of use should the
occupants not have a second vehicle
- 48m² of private open space – being two balconies with one to the north and one to the
south
- Three bedrooms, study
A roof garden with an open terrace, decking and swimming pool (205m²), internal pavilion
space and amenities area (93m²). The area will be accessible to all residents and guests
Office accommodation on the ground and mezzanine with a total floor area of 177m²
The office has access to six car parking spaces within a car stacker at the rear of the ground
floor
12 June 2014
P2
All vehicle access is via Stafford Lane
Separate lobbies/entrances from South Terrace for the office and residential components
External materials include:
- a mixture of glazing, timber veneer, steel framing, powder coated metal cladding and
off-white precast concrete
- Solar panels and plant/equipment are proposed on top of the roof over the roof pavilion
and are to be screened from view
- Public art is proposed in the form of a sculptural element within the eastern/residential
area
Ground floor contains visitor bicycle parking along South Terrace, internal storage for 14
bicycles, bin store, a vehicle turntable, vehicle stackers, car lift, services and transformer
room
The proposed staging of the development approval process is as follows:
Stage 1: removal of building and landscape items and the level and prepare site for new
works; and Stage 2: Construction of the proposed building

2. DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICY SUMMARY
The subject site is located within the City Frame Zone. In summary the relevant Zone policies
seek the following outcomes:
City Frame Zone
Primarily contain medium to high scale residential development supported by a mix of
shops, personal services, restaurants, cafés, and community and hospitality uses.
Mix of complementary land uses will extend activity into the evening to enhance the
vibrancy and safety of the area, particularly the adjacent Park Lands and Whitmore and
Hurtle Squares, which offer a high level of amenity.
Small-scale licensed entertainment premises, nightclubs or bars may occur in limited
numbers where they are designed and sited to maintain day and evening activation at street
level.
Development will include residential and mixed use residential buildings that are well
connected to nearby public transport networks, including the tramline.
Location and scale of buildings will achieve high quality urban design outcomes, with the
highest built form located along South Terrace facing the Park Lands with a slightly lower
built form framing the Squares.
Development on key corner sites at the entrances to the City grid and Squares will create
landmark buildings that provide a strong built form edge and pedestrian scale detailing to
both street frontages.
Buildings will have minimal or no setback and provide tall walls when viewed from the main
road frontage to achieve a consistent built form façade.
Landscaping and small variations in front setback will assist in softening the continuous
edge of new built form and provide a higher amenity streetscape and pedestrian
environment which is shaded by street trees and other mature vegetation.
Buildings will have a strong horizontal emphasis with clearly defined and segmented vertical
elements.
At street level, the use of solid materials will be appropriately balanced with glazed areas to
provide visual interest and activity. Tall façades will be well articulated with finer details that
contribute positively to the public realm, including modelled façades, canopies, fenestration
and balconies that make use of light and shade.
An interesting pedestrian environment and human scale at ground level which integrates
well with the Park Lands and Squares will be created.
A range of land uses will be provided that add to the range of local employment
opportunities and the availability of services and shopping facilities within the main street.

Catalyst sites provide opportunities for integrated developments on large sites to assist in
the transformation of a locality. Such developments will facilitate growth in residential
population of the City. Development will exemplify quality and contemporary design that is
generally greater in height and, or density, than its surrounds and designed to manage the
interface with sensitive uses in residential zones. NB: It is noted this development is not on
a catalyst site.
Residential (Whitmore East) Zone (RA6)
The site is located adjacent the Residential (Whitmore East) Zone. The height in this zone is 4
building levels or no more than 12m to the ceiling above finished ground level.
Council currently has a Development Plan Amendment (DPA) before the Minister for Planning for
his Approval, which will affect the RA6 Zone. In the DPA it is recommended that the height
remain unchanged, height will no longer trigger the non-complying process. This should open the
way for more developments to be considered on merit.
Council Wide
The Council Wide provisions for City Living and Medium to High Scale Apartments provide
guidance to appropriate housing choice, private open space, minimum unit sizes and the extent of
natural light, ventilation, outlook, and effective design outcomes.
Relevant planning policies are contained in the concluding appendices and relevant zoning maps
are in the attachments. A complete copy of the Adelaide (City) Development Plan is also available
from the DAC dropbox.

Subject site and view east Apartments to the west
The subject land is rectangular in shape and comprises a total site area of 420m2 with a frontage
of 12.83m to South Terrace and a depth of 32.72m.
The subject site contains two double storey buildings, occupied with a mixture of office,
commercial and residential uses. The land has a secondary frontage to Stafford Lane along the
length of the northern boundary.
4. BACKGROUND
Pre-lodgement Process (summary provided by the Case Manager)
Over the course of the pre-lodgement process, the proposal has undergone a series of
design iterations aimed at managing technical, planning and design related issues.
Through ongoing case management, the proponent has secured a pre-lodgement
agreement with the Government Architect in relation to building design. Similarly,
Adelaide City Council provided ongoing feedback to the pre-lodgement panel, in
particular regarding matters of traffic and waste management, which are detailed further
within the assessment section of this report.
The proposal was presented to the design review panel three times, over which period
the design response evolved into a high quality mixed use commercial/residential
offer. Design review saw ongoing refinements to the residential tower, in particular an
improved architectural expression in relation to neighbouring sites and to the broader
streetscape context. It is noted that further information has been requested in
relation to the materials and details of the final façade design.
The following are considered to be the key design alterations brought about through
design review:
Enhanced modelling and setback of the ground level entry to the north
improving safety and the entry experience for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Reconfiguration of the ground floor layout to improve the sense of address
commensurate with the proposals Parklands location.
Development of the three-dimensional design approach to the architectural
expression of the building that helps to mitigate the overall impression of
bulk and blank walls.
5. AGENCY COMMENTS
Government Architect
The Government Architect provided pre-lodgement agreement, refer to the attachments for a
fully copy of the advice. The following is an extract from the agreement:
The building height in close proximity to the Park Lands is positive, as it frames
Adelaide’s premier urban park and utilises its amenity for more inner city residents. The
scheme’s location generates minimal overshadowing impacts.
12 June 2014
P6
The proposal is built to the boundary on both the north and south street frontages and
the two side boundaries. Pending successful resolution of questions relating to setbacks
with other referral agencies, from a design perspective, Stafford Lane provides sufficient
distance not to require this additional setback from the northern boundary. The additional
floor area that this enables should be supported by high quality details and exemplary
overall design merit. The modelling and setback of the ground level entry to the north
improves safety and the entry experience for pedestrian vehicles.
The ground floor South Terrace frontage includes a residential lobby and commercial
office, with services and vehicular access located to the rear off Stafford Lane. The
configuration of the ground floor layout provides a sense of address commensurate with
the location and stated ambitions of the scheme. However, in order to achieve those
ambitions, it will be important to ensure that waste is removed via Stafford Lane.
The three-dimensional design approach to the architectural expression of the proposal
demonstrates positive portions and articulation. The provision of additional illustrative
material relating to the east and west elevations suggest an approach that will help
mitigate the overall impression of the proposal’s bulk and blank walls from a streetscape
perspective. Delivering a high quality contribution to the streetscape will be critical in
achieving a satisfactory level of overall design quality and is contingent on the resolution
of façade detailing. While the indicated design approach is supported, the materials
palette and detail resolution of these elevations will need to be refined to a satisfactory
level during detailed design development.
To ensure the most successful design outcome is achieved the Development Assessment
Commission may like to consider the following aspect of the project, which would benefit
from protection as part of the planning consent:
That the design intent, as agreed to by the Government Architect, is realised in
the final façade design – requiring submission of further information including a
final materials schedule and typical detail.
Adelaide City Council
As a result of the recent amendments to the Development Regulations, 2008 the Adelaide City
Council is no longer a referral body. However Council staff were involved in the pre-lodgement
process and have provided technical advice.
During the Prelodgement meetings Council raised concerns with the proposed waste management
and traffic arrangements.
Waste collection
Council recommends South Terrace as the location for waste collection (it is noted that the
Government Architect was not supportive of this option as it requires the dragging bins through
the lobby for collection from South Terrace and it significantly impacted the functionality of
internal ground level).
Council do not support the use of O’Halloran Street for waste collection (a number of reasons are
outlined in an attached email from Council). Council also advise it will not undertake a Council
service for Pull in Pull out service from Stafford Lane and if the applicant chooses this option then
they will need to organise a private waste contractor to service the building. The applicant has
chosen this option as being preferable to collection from South Terrace.
Veolia have provided a statement advising that they will be able to complete the services in
accordance with the strategy and undertake waste collection from the site (via Stafford Lane).

Traffic
Throughout the Prelodgement process Council raised concerns with the carparking and access
arrangement of the proposal. On lodgement the applicant provided a supplementary traffic report
by Phil Weaver dated 4 April 2014, in response to Council concerns. Council advises that the
initial concerns raised still apply although they have no objections to the development going
forward. Refer to the supplementary traffic report for a summary of the issues and Phil Weaver’s
response (and additional turning circle diagrams). The following summarises the issues:
COUNCIL CONCERNS APPLICANTS RESPONSE
(PHIL WEAVER – TRAFFIC CONSULTANT)
ACCESS
Stafford Lane is a narrow road
(while two way it only allows
vehicles to travel in one direction
at a time)
There is the potential for conflict
between vehicles in the peak
hour movements
Cars may have to wait on
Stafford Lane, as there is not
sufficient width to allow two way
traffic movements and to allow
for a car to turn in or out if
another car is waiting
While Stafford Lane has a narrow width, the existing volume
of traffic using this lane is very low. In order to confirm this,
surveys of traffic using the lane were conducted (refer to the
traffic report)
Notwithstanding the narrow width of Stafford Lane, this lane
is currently used to accommodate two-way traffic. It is noted
that:
Passing opportunities are currently provided by the
setback on the corner of the building located at 133 South
Terrace and also the access points into Viterra car park,
The entry into the lane off O’Halloran Street is very open
to view and it is unlikely that a driver wishing to access
would do so until a westbound vehicle has exited the
laneway, and
A driver exiting the subject development would be able to
wait at the eastern end of Stafford lane until an eastbound
vehicle has entered the various car parking areas to the
west of this site.
Restricted sight distance to
Stafford Lane from the east
It is acknowledged that sight distance to the east of the
proposed access point will be restricted by the transformer, it
is noted that:
The eastern end of Stafford Lane is essentially a dead end,
There are very infrequent movements of traffic exiting
from the private car park to the east. Given the narrow
width of the lane adjoining the adjacent car park, travel
speeds of cars exiting this private car park are very low,
There would be an opportunity to install mirror(s) within
the building to improve the level of sight distance to the
east (and also to the west).
There is no space on site to wait
for a car to enter/exit if the
turntable is in use
Refer to Figure 5 which demonstrates that it would be
possible for a vehicle to wait within the car park when the
turntable is in use without compromising the use of the
turntable based on a marginal shift to the south of the
turntable.
All vehicles have to exit south,
one way along O’Halloran Street
to South Terrace
Given the relatively low volumes of traffic using both
O’Halloran Street and Stafford Lane and the forecast low level
of traffic forecast for the subject development. Phil Weaver
considers that there would not be any adverse traffic impacts
on either O’Halloran Street or South Terrace as a result of the
proposed development.
12 June 2014
P8
Collection of waste – the
proposed use of Stafford Lane by
a private contractor (Stafford
Lane operates left in and left out.
The road width is not sufficient to
turn around without using private
land and would require the refuse
vehicle to either reverse in or out
of Halloran Street). ACC Waste
Management has advised that
this is not acceptable
There would be an opportunity to turn a small refuse vehicle
on site as demonstrated by Figures 6 and 7. While this
turning path is based on an SRV design vehicle it is
understand that a range of such vehicles are able to be
accommodated. These vehicles would have lengths of
between 6m and 7m and would have a turning circle of less
than 13m
PARKING
Office parking - drivers would be
required to drive forward into the
car stacker and reverse out onto
a turntable to exit the site in a
forward direction.
Residential parking:- drivers are
required to drive forward into a
car lift and reverse out, no
visibility to a car exiting the car
stacker
Concerns that “the turntable for
the car stacker associated to the
office use will be accessible to
residential vehicles from the car
lift. It is not demonstrated that
this is feasible and it is likely that
if the turntable is not quick to use
then drivers are likely to reverse
out onto Stafford Lane”.
The timing or operation of the
turntable - it is still considered
likely that drivers may choose to
reverse to the street.
Based on minor changes to the design, Phil Weaver considers
that drivers accessing the car stackers would not be required
to use the turntable. In order to demonstrate this aspect the
traffic consultant has prepared additional turning path
drawings (refer to traffic report) and concludes that each of
the turning path movements would be appropriate given that
the proposed development relates to a small scale long term
car park generating infrequent traffic movements.
There is sufficient physical separation between the car lift and
the stacker for reversing out to not be an issue. It is also
expected that drivers entering the lift would most probably
use the turntable to turn on site and to then reverse into the
lift, thereby being in a position when leaving the car park to
exiting the lift in a forward motion directly onto Stafford Lane.
A typical turntable, as proposed within this development,
would rotate through 360 degrees at one revolution per
minute. Hence, a driver would be able to turn through 180
degrees in approximately 30 seconds. Phil Weaver therefore
considers that this would provide a practical means of drivers
turning on site and it is most unlikely that drivers would
choose to reverse onto Stafford Lane.
Disabled car park is proposed on
South Terrace and this is not a
suitable solution to Council
It is not possible to provide an indirectly accessible space for
disabled use on site in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.6:2009.
The provision of such a space on-street, as an alternative
means of accommodating disabled parking, would potentially
assist the many businesses within the locality where such
parking is not provided on site and would be an overall
benefit to this area
There should be minimal deliveries generated by the
proposed development given the small scale office use and
the mostly residential nature of the proposed development.
12 June 2014
P9
TRAFFIC GENERATION
No review of existing traffic
volumes or movement patterns,
given two other residential
buildings and a car park have
access to Stafford Lane and have
to exit south via O’Halloran
Street to South Terrace
A detailed assessment of existing traffic volumes has been
provided in this report. This shows that even in peak hour
periods there are very low volumes of traffic using Stafford
Lane and it is apparent that two-way traffic volumes are
accommodated notwithstanding the narrow width of the lane
It should be assumed that the
office component is likely to be
fully utilised during peak periods,
worst case scenario
A ‘worst case’ assessment has been considered in respect to
the traffic generation of the subject development
The analysis of the timing and
operation of the car stacker/lift
does not take into consideration
the operation of the turntable and
that only one car can enter and
exit the site at any one time. It is
likely that the turnaround time
would be longer than that stated,
particularly on exit.
This may also be compounded by
alternating movements e.g. in
the am peak office spaces
entering and residential spaces
exiting and vice versa in the pm
peak. There is no provision for a
driver to wait on site and
insufficient width on street
Even taking into account the use of the turntable, I consider
that an average service rate of approximately 1 minute for
each vehicle entering and exiting the car park. On this basis,
I consider that there would be no significant change to on-site
queuing compared to the calculations provided within my
previous report
6. NOTIFICATION
The development is deemed a Category 2 development by PDC 28 2(b)(ii) for the City Frame
Zone. Two representations were received in time and one outside of time. All three representrors
are located in the ALTA Apartments at 135 South Terrace and made the same comments.
The following is a summary of the main comments made:
The height of the building is not in keeping with the existing street landscape and exceeds
36 metres and is at odds with the Development Plan.
As it is a narrow allotment, the proposed building will look out of proportion compared to
adjoining properties. The building will create overshadowing in the Veale Gardens due to its
height.
The narrow lane immediately behind ALTA which is used to access the Alta building seems
at threat with increased traffic flow. Details of how such an increase may be managed are
sought.
ALTA Apartments is a high quality building such a standard must be maintained in any
future development
An engineering report is required to ensure that the work will not prejudice ALTA.
Should construction proceed, guarantees are sought that:
12 June 2014
P10
- Excavation will not be such that it threatens the structure of ALTA. Before excavation
commences, a report from a professional body qualified in this field should be submitted
to ALTA for consideration.
- Noise will be kept to a minimum. No work to be done on site prior to 7 a.m. or after 6
p.m Monday to Friday. No work to be done on weekends or public holidays. Noise to be
contained within acceptable levels, if guidelines for this exist.
- Access to the rear lane and to ALTA garage should be clear at all times.
- Should any section of ALTA be exposed to the elements as a result of construction then
that section be protected in an acceptable manner until construction is completed and
that section is protected again by the abutting building.
Refer to attachments for the applicant’s response to the representations. It is considered that this
adequately addresses the matters raised.

Notwithstanding this I
consider the proposal to
be acceptable given the
benefit of the separation

LAND USE / DESIRED CHARACTER
The City Frame Zone seeks a range of land uses including residential and office uses, with
primarily residential buildings with non-residential development at ground/first floor and
residences above. The proposal is primarily a residential building, with an office component on the
lower and mezzanine levels and accords with the desired uses for the Zone and PDCs 1 -4.
The desired character anticipates buildings with minimal or no setback and provide tall walls when
viewed from the main road frontage, to achieve a consistent built form façade. Buildings will also
have a strong horizontal emphasis with clearly defined and segmented vertical elements.
Objective 2 seeks development that creates a strong edge to the Park Lands and Squares.
The proposal results in a high quality urban design outcome, with a high built form located along
South Terrace facing the Park Lands. The building will create a strong edge to the south parklands
and contribute to the desired uniform streetscape with no front setbacks and a tall, articulated
building facade and accords with objectives 2 and 3 and the desired character statement. It is
noted that there is also a tall built form to the rear of the site, adjacent the residential zone,
where lower built form is anticipated. Building design will be considered later in the report.

BUILDING HEIGHT
A maximum height of 36m and a minimum height of 4 levels is envisaged in the City Frame Zone
(PDCs 14 and 15). While catalyst site provisions apply in the zone, the subject site is less than
1500 square metres in area and the provisions are not applicable for this development. Objective
7 envisages a transition down in scale and intensity at the zone boundaries to main the amenity
for properties located within adjoining residential zones.
At approximately 45.5m in overall building height the proposal exceeds the maximum height
envisaged by 9.5 metres (although does not exceed airport height restrictions). The height of the
building was discussed in the Prelodgement meetings. Category 2 representors have also raised
the height as an issue of concern, as it does not comply with the zoning provision and they
believe is out of context in the streetscape.
Streetscape studies were provided by the applicant to demonstrate the visual impacts of the
proposed height in the context of the locality (and also the potential for future development given
the zoning) (see below). The planning report prepared by Planning Chambers also provided
context for support of the proposed height.

In a policy context, the City Frame Zone envisages heights of up to 36 metres, except on large
sites where the buildings can be integrated to assist in the transformation of a locality (catalyst
sites). These buildings are expected to exemplify quality and contemporary design that is
generally greater in height, or intensity, than its surroundings and will be designed to manage the
interface with sensitive uses in Residential Zones, particularly with regards to massing,
proportions, overshadowing, traffic and noise related impacts.
While there are no specific zone provisions that encourage higher developments that are not on a
catalyst site, the proposal is a merit use and Council Wide policies and the context of the locality
need to be given due consideration. The diagrams above are useful to provide context.
The following provisions are relevant and have been considered in the assessment of height:
173 Development in a non-residential Zone that abuts land in a Residential Zone …. should provide a
transition between high intensity development and the lower intensity development in the adjacent
Zone by focussing taller elements away from the common Zone boundary. 271 Development located either abutting, straddling or within 20 metres of a Zone or Policy Area
boundary should provide for a transition and reasonable gradation from the character desired from one to the other.
272 Development should not unreasonably restrict the development potential of adjacent sites, and
should have regard to possible future impacts such as loss of daylight/sunlight access, privacy and outlook.
The following are the arguments put forward by the applicant (in the report from Planning
Chambers) in support of the proposed height:
If taken from the predominate building height, the parapet of the 12 level and not the inset roof of the roof top deck/pavilion, the building is generally 5.5m over the maximum height.
The Capital City Zone is located approximately 30 metres to the north east and 60 metres to
the east along South Terrace, which allows for the consideration of buildings of 53 metres in height
The Optus Tower on the corner of King William Street and South Terrace (approx. 100
metres from the site), is significantly taller with a height over 60 metres. The Optus building
provides a distinctive backdrop to the subject land when viewed from the west along South
Terrace
It is understood that the recently approved Vue Residential Development on King William Street to the east of the site has a building height of over 80 metres
As shown within the streetscape study prepared by JPE the proposed height and mass will fit
comfortably within the future streetscape and context sought by the Development Plan,
providing a transition down from the Optus Tower and taller development within the Capital
City Zone to the north west and west
The Capital City Design Review Panel has indicated during the review sessions that the
height was considered appropriate in terms of the overall design and form of the building.
The current height results in a more slender and elegant building relatively to the width and would potentially be ‘too squat’ should it be reduced to the maximum height recommended
Given the level of articulation and detailing across all of the facades and the narrow width of
the building the overall bulk and mass is reduced such that the visual impact of the
development is considered to be acceptable and not overbearing within the existing context or potential future development of the locality
The additional height proposed does not pose any overshadowing issues as South Terrace and the Park Lands are immediately to the south
The proposed height assists in presenting a clear, well defined built form edge to South
Terrace and the Park Lands
12 June 2014
P17
The site has a good level of accessibility to public transport including tram services along
King William Street to the east and bus services along South Terrace, King William Street
and Morphett Street and as such is considered to be a reasonable location for an increase in residential density
The proposal exceeds the height requirement by between one and two floors. The applicant
has indicated that it is these additional floors that allow the project to incorporate new and
innovative approaches to car parking along with the desired mixture of land uses; within the
office space accounting for the two lower floors. Without the additional height the benefits of
an active frontage to South Terrace and the absence of car park screening at the lower
levels would be economically difficult to provide
The majority of the additional height proposed is due to the inclusion of the roof top deck
and screening of the solar panels, plant and equipment located upon the roof; accounting
for an additional 4.1 metres. It is considered that the benefits provided by the roof deck and
the screening of the plant and equipment outweigh any potential visual impact, especially
given that the roof deck is set in from the edges of the building and surrounded by a glazed balustrade
It is considered unlikely that when viewed from within the locality, or even further afield,
with the Optus building and Capital City Zone providing a backdrop of taller development,
that the additional 5.5 to 9.5 metres of building height proposed would be apparent to such
a degree to negatively impact upon the view of the city skyline
The proposed building height, whilst taller than the recommended maximum, is considered to be
acceptable given the considerations outlined above. The quality of the design and the attention to
detailing has produced a building that displays a high level of interest to all facades. This is
necessary given the level of exposure that the building is likely to have in the short to medium
term until additional development is undertaken along this section of South Terrace. The Optus
Tower and nearby Capital City Zone will still take pride of place within the skyline, as sought by
the Development Plan, with the subject site providing an appropriately detailed and designed
building that provides the desired level of built form along South Terrace to define the southern
edge of the City.
Assessment
I generally agree with the comments made by Planning Chambers above, in particular that the
development will not appear to be 45.5m high given the upper level setback. The development
will generally read as 41.1 metres high (although this still exceeding the height requires by
5.5m). In addition the building is in close proximity to the Capital City Zone and in the cityscape
will not be out of context with the approved and desired developments in this zone. It is also
considered to be a high quality design that should contribute to South Terrace. The additional
9.5m of height over the policy guideline is unlikely to make any real discernible difference when
the building is viewed in the cityscape or streetscape views.
The proposed building will reinforce and strengthen the character of South Terrace, with a strong
built edge to the Park Lands. I believe that the proposed height of the building will not detract
from the existing or desired character of the locality and is unlikely to result in any significant
impacts to adjoining land uses. It will not result in any overshadowing to the north. It will result
in some overshadowing to the east and west and overshadowing to the Park Lands. This is not
considered to be excessive and these sites will continue to achieve adequate solar access and in
the context of a city location this is considered reasonable.
It is noted that the proposal does not provide a transition in scale with the residential zone to the
rear as desired (CW PDC 173, 271). On the other hand it can be argued that the proposal does
provide a transition in scale with the Capital City Zone which is approximately 30m to the north
east. This Concept Plan for the Capital City Zone envisages developments in this locality up to a
height of 53m. In addition, from a design perspective it is considered that Stafford Lane provides
a sufficient separation distance so that an additional setback from the northern boundary is not
considered necessary.

The success of the development relies on a high quality building that exemplifies a high quality
and contemporary design. The Government Architect supports the proposal and has advised that:
The three-dimensional design approach to the architectural expression of the proposal
demonstrates positive portions and articulation. The provision of additional illustrative
material relating to the east and west elevations suggest an approach that will help
mitigate the overall impression of the proposal’s bulk and blank walls from a streetscape
perspective.
The Government Architect advises that the materials, palette and detail resolution on the
elevations need further refinement during detailed design development.
Should support be given for a building at this height, I believe it should be based upon achieving
an exemplary and contemporary building, as a driving rationale. It is important that the high
quality design and use of materials proposed for the development should not be diminished
through any subsequent applications. Should the Commission grant Planning Consent to this
application a reserve matter is recommended with regards to the final details for materials and
finishes (to the satisfaction of the Commission, in consultation with the Government Architect).
PEDESTRIAN AMENITY / FUNCTIONAL SPACES
The combined ceiling height of the ground floor and mezzanine (5.7m) satisfies the requirement
of PDC 10 for a minimum floor to ceiling height of 3.5 metres for ground floor spaces.
The ground floor frontage to South Terrace is permeable and satisfies the minimum of 70%
sought by PDC 11.
Pedestrian shelter and shade over footpaths is not provided as required by PDC 9. The rationale is
the potential impact of the South Terrace street trees. Two indented lobbies have been provided
as a result and whilst they do not provide protection for general users of the adjacent footpath
they do protect users of the building as they enter and exit. This is consistent adjoining residential
and commercial land uses along South Terrace.
Vehicle access is provided to the rear of the site and therefore there will be no impact on
pedestrian amenity on South Terrace through vehicle crossovers. This is strongly supported as a
desired outcome.
TRANSPORT, ACCESS AND PARKING
A traffic report has been provided by Phil Weaver, dated 21 February 2014 and supplementary
comments dated 4 April 2014 (in response to Council concerns). Council raised a number of
concerns with the operational aspects of the car park, including vehicles potentially not exiting in
a forward fashion, blind spots along Stafford Lane, the narrow nature of Stafford Lane, congestion
within the building with no adequate holding bays, waiting times for occupants of the building,
potential for collision between vehicles existing the residents car lift and the office car lift. While
Council is not satisfied with the additional information from Phil Weaver, they advise that they do
not object to the development proceeding. The issues raised and the applicant’s response have
been summarised elsewhere in this report.
I acknowledge that the access arrangements will be tight and that Stafford Lane is narrow and
may result in some congestion. However the expected vehicle movements from the development
are considered to be low, vehicles speeds to be slow and that the proposal is unlikely to result in
any significant traffic issues. Any significant inconvenience is likely to be to the users of the
facility and not people external to the site. The matters raised are not fundamental to the success
of the development and should be able to be resolved in design development stage.
Notwithstanding Council’s concerns, I consider that as the proposal is unlikely to detrimentally
impact adjoining users or be a significant safety concern then the access arrangements are
acceptable (and will be modified by the applicant if found not to work effectively).
12 June 2014
P19
The proposal is unique in that it will provide car parking for residences within their own
apartments, accessed by a car lift. These spaces are adaptable should two car parking spaces per
apartment not be required. Appropriate acoustic treatment and ventilation of the spaces and the
car lift are essential to ensure residents are not unreasonably impacted. The applicant has
provided reports addressing these matters (refer to the ESD section below).
Six car parking spaces are provided for the office component, which are to be stacked on the
eastern side of the building.
In summary the number and location of car parks provided are satisfactory and access via the
rear is supported.
The collection of waste from Stafford Lane can be managed through a private contractor. While
Council would prefer collection to be from South Terrace they are not opposed to the proposed
arrangements. A waste management report is required and is recommended as a condition of
Consent.
DESIGN, MASSING AND ARTICULATION, ACTIVE FRONTAGES
The Development Plan provides guidance with respect to the design elements sought for
development of the type proposed. For example:
Council Wide Objective 48 seeks development that incorporates a high level of design
excellence in terms of scale, bulk, massing, materials, finishes, colours & architectural
treatment.
Council Wide PDC 168 seeks development of a high standard of design that reinforces the grid
layout and distinctive urban character of the City by maintaining a clear distinction between
the following:
(a) the intense urban development and built-form of the town acres in the Capital City, Main
Street, City Frame and Residential Zones;
(b) the less intense and more informal groupings of buildings set within the landscaped
environment of the Institutional Zones;
(c) the historic character of the North Adelaide Historic (Conservation) Zone; and
(d) the open landscape of the Park Lands Zone.
Council Wide Principle 121 requires development to be designed and sited to ensure an
adequate level of daylight, to minimise overshadowing of buildings and public and private
outdoor spaces, particularly during the lunchtime breaks, while Council Wide Principle 222
requires development fronting public spaces to be designed and sited to minimise
overshadowing of the Square’s garden areas.
Council Wide Principle 37 (Visual and Acoustic Privacy) requires direct overlooking from
external balconies and rooftop gardens to be minimised by various means, including the use of
building setbacks, screening devices, window orientation and landscaping.
The building is located on one of Adelaide’s premier Terraces, framing the Park Lands and will
support an active use on street level while increasing residential population with access to the
Park Lands and should be a positive contribution to the area.
The applicant has undergone three sessions with the City Design Review process and the proposal
has changed over time in response to the comments made. The proposal has a Pre-lodgement
agreement from the Government Architect. The overall height, scale and setbacks of the new
building is supported. The Government Architect advises that the materials palette and detail
resolution of these elevations will need to be refined to a satisfactory level during detailed design
development.
As mentioned previously, should the Commission grant Planning Consent a reserve matter is
recommended in line with the comments of the Government Architect.
12 June 2014
P20
Due to the location on the north side of South Terrace the proposal will not result in significant
levels of overshadowing of adjacent residential premises. The northern properties will not be
affected at all. While there will be overshadowing of the Park Lands this is not considered
excessive or unreasonable, given that there is significant area in the immediate vicinity not cast in
shadow (refer to the shadow diagrams provided).
Services located on the roof will be screened from view.
APARTMENT AMENITY
Medium to high scale residential development should provide for a high standard of amenity and
environmental performance as sought by Council Wide Objective 22 and Principles 49-75. These
provisions provide guidance with respect to the design of building entrances, levels of natural
light and ventilation, private open space, privacy, outlook and minimum apartment sizes. PDC 60,
71, 81 require medium to high scale residential development and serviced apartments to have a
high quality environment by ensuring minimum areas (see table 1).
The apartments proposed are of high quality with a high level of amenity and exceed the
minimum relevant Development Plan provisions. Residents have access to a rooftop garden,
views to the north, south and east (form each apartment), cross ventilation and will benefit from
the proximity to the Park Lands.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Environmental Efficiency
The proposal incorporates passive environmental efficiencies for residential development through
a large floor plate with both a north and south facing outlook for each apartment from primary
living rooms. There is no glazing to the west and minimal to the east and good levels of cross
ventilation. Sustainable efficiency measures include high performance glazing, solar panels,
energy efficient fixtures and fittings, movement sensor activated lighting. These are considered to
be satisfactory.
The proposal generally meets the policies for environmental efficiently and adequate thermal
comfort through passive design techniques and is generally consistent with CW PDCs 107, 108,
109, 111, 114, 115, 116, Obj 33, 34, PDCs 120 to 126.
Crime Prevention through Urban Design
The proposal provides passive surveillance of the site with the mix of land uses and overlooking
into the public realm. There are no significant crime prevention issues. The proposal generally
meets the requirements for CPTUD (CW Obj 24, PDCs 83, 84 85).
Acoustic
The applicant has provided an acoustic report by Resonate, dated 17 April 2014. Consideration
was given to the proposed car lift and potential for noise impacts. Resonate recommended a
number of design elements and acoustic treatments to ensure that the development achieves the
noise requirements in the Development Plan. This included the use of materials to be incorporated
into the development (i.e. thickness of glazing to all living areas and bedrooms for the residential
areas of the building, window and door seals, attenuation measures required for the car parking
areas etc). The type of mechanical plant is yet to be decided, however will be required to meet
relevant BCA standards.
I recommend there be a condition to control noise emissions from externally located plant and
that there be a condition that the recommendations of the Resonate report be implemented and
that noise levels are in accordance with PDC 91 and 92 and the Environmental Protection Act.
Wind
The applicant has provided a wind assessment report by Vipac, dated 21 February 2014. They
advise that the proposal is not expected to generate wind conditions in excess of the criterion for
safety and is likely to satisfy the wind criterion expected for public and private areas.
12 June 2014
P21
The rooftop terrace is very exposed to winds approaching from the SW, west and WNW, which are
expected to possess high velocities. However the proposed design incorporates balustrades at
1.8m in height which will shield the incoming winds. It is expected that the rooftop terrace would
be within the recommended walking criteria. Given that this area is optional and additional open
space for residents, this is not considered to be an area of concern.
Waste
The location and size of the refuse area is considered acceptable. The collection and pickup will
occur by a private contractor, from Stafford Lane and has been considered elsewhere in this
report.
8. CONCLUSION
The proposal satisfies the Development Plan in the following ways:
The mix of land uses with active land uses at ground floor with medium/high density
residential development is supported in the City Frame Zone
The proposed bulk, scale and the design of the residential tower has the support of the
Government Architect
There is a high level of articulation, modelling and detail within the external façades of the
building
The proposal provides a good level of street activation through commercial land uses on
the lower levels and promotes activity and passive surveillance to the surrounding streets
and will be a positive contribution to South Terrace with a strong built edge framing the
Park Lands
The apartments have an excellent level of amenity and functionality and exceed
Development Plan requirements
The proposal will maximalise on its location adjacent the Park Lands and provide a high
level residential accommodation
Car parking and access is acceptable, and utilises rear access and will not create a new
crossover to South Terrace
The proposal is at variance with the Development Plan in the following ways:
The proposal exceeds the height requirements for the City Frame Zone and does not
provide for a transition in scale to the residential zone to the rear
Not all setbacks are achieved, however they are considered to be acceptable
Council has raised concerns with the car park access and operational requirements –
although have not objected to the proposal proceeding
The most significant issue for consideration regarding this proposal relates to the proposed height
of the development, which exceeds that envisaged for the City Frame Zone. However on balance
this is considered acceptable, given that there are unlikely to be any discernible impacts from the
additional height, in light of the high quality of design and context of the locality and that there is
unlikely to be any significant impacts on the residents in the immediate area.

b) The proposal includes the following stages: Stage 1: removal of building and landscape
items and the level and prepare site for new works; and Stage 2: Construction of the
proposed building
c) The approval does not include any signage (other than directional), which would need to
be the subject of a separate application to the relevant planning authority.
d) The applicant is reminded of its general environmental duty, as required by Section 25
of the Environment Protection Act 1993, to take all reasonable and practical measures
to ensure that the activities on the whole site, including during construction, do not
pollute the environment in a way which causes or may cause environmental harm.
e) Any information sheets, guidelines documents, codes of practice, technical bulletins etc.
that are referenced in this response can be accessed on the following web site:
http://www.epa.sa.gov.au/pub.html
f) The applicant must ensure there is no objection from any of the public utilities in
respect of underground or overhead services and any alterations that may be required
are to be at the applicant’s expense.
12 June 2014
P25
g) As work is being undertaken on or near the boundary, the applicant should ensure that
the boundaries are clearly defined, by a Licensed Surveyor, prior to the commencement
of any building work.
h) If temporary hoarding or site works require modification of existing Council
infrastructure, the works will be carried out to meet Councils requirements and costs
borne directly by the developer.
i) All damage to Adelaide City Council’s infrastructure, including damage to public lighting
and underground ducting caused by projects works or loading of site crane onto
pathways will be repaired to meet Councils requirements and the cost of the developer.
j) A Building Site Management Plan is required prior to construction work beginning on
site. The Building Site Management Plan should include details of such items as:
Work in the Public Realm
Street Occupation
Hoarding
Site Amenities

Servicing Site
Adjoining Buildings
Reinstatement of Infrastructure
k) Insecure building sites have been identified as a soft target for vandalism and theft of
general building materials. The Adelaide Local Service Area Police and the Adelaide City
Council are working together to help improve security at building sites. Items most
commonly stolen or damaged are tools, water heaters and white goods. To minimise
the risk of theft and damage, consider co-ordinating the delivery and installation of the
goods on the same day. Work with your builder to secure the site with a fence and
lockable gate. Securing the site is essential to prevent unauthorised vehicle access and
establishes clear ownership. If you have any further enquiries about ways to reduce
building site theft, please do not hesitate to contact the Adelaide Local Service Area
Community Programs Section on 8463 7024. Alternatively, you can contact Adelaide
City Council for further assistance and information by calling Nick Nash on 8203 7562.

RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROVISIONS
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control in the Development Plan most relevant to
the assessment of the application are outlined as follows. These are contained in the Adelaide
(City) Development Plan (Consolidated 30 January 2014).
CITY FRAME ZONE
Desired Character
This Zone will primarily contain medium to high scale residential development supported by a mix
of shops, personal services, restaurants, cafés, and community and hospitality uses.
The mix of complementary land uses will extend activity into the evening to enhance the vibrancy
and safety of the area, particularly the adjacent Park Lands and Whitmore and Hurtle Squares,
which offer a high level of amenity. Small-scale licensed entertainment premises, nightclubs or
bars may occur in limited numbers where they are designed and sited to maintain day and
evening activation at street level. Development will include residential and mixed use residential
buildings that are well connected to nearby public transport networks, including the tramline.
The location and scale of buildings will achieve high quality urban design outcomes, with the
highest built form located along South Terrace facing the Park Lands with a slightly lower built
form framing the Squares. Development on key corner sites at the entrances to the City grid and
Squares will create landmark buildings that provide a strong built form edge and pedestrian scale
detailing to both street frontages.
Buildings will have minimal or no setback and provide tall walls when viewed from the main road
frontage to achieve a consistent built form façade. Landscaping and small variations in front
setback will assist in softening the continuous edge of new built form and provide a higher
amenity streetscape and pedestrian environment which is shaded by street trees and other
mature vegetation.
Buildings will have a strong horizontal emphasis with clearly defined and segmented vertical
elements. At street level, the use of solid materials will be appropriately balanced with glazed
areas to provide visual interest and activity. Tall façades will be well articulated with finer details
that contribute positively to the public realm, including modelled façades, canopies, fenestration
and balconies that make use of light and shade. An interesting pedestrian environment and
human scale at ground level which integrates well with the Park Lands and Squares will be
created.
Catalyst sites provide opportunities for integrated developments on large sites to assist in the
transformation of a locality. Such developments will facilitate growth in the residential population
of the City, while also activating the public realm and creating a vibrant main street feel. A range
of land uses will be provided that add to the range of local employment opportunities and the
availability of services and shopping facilities within the main street.
Development on catalyst sites will exemplify quality and contemporary design that is generally
greater in height, or intensity, than its surroundings. However, development will be designed to
carefully manage the interface with sensitive uses in Residential Zones, particularly with regard to
massing; proportions; overshadowing; traffic and noise related impacts.
Objective 1: Development that contains a mix of uses including shops, offices and commercial
development at lower floors with residential land uses above with views to the Park
Lands and Squares.
Objective 2: Development that creates a strong edge to the Park Lands and Squares.
Objective 3: A uniform streetscape established through a largely consistent front setback and
tall, articulated building façades.
12 June 2014
P28
Objective 4: Development that creates a high quality public realm that promotes walking,
cycling, public transport patronage and social interaction.
Objective 5: An area that allows people to work, shop and access a range of services close to
home.
Objective 6: Adaptable and flexible building designs that can accommodate changes in use and
respond to changing economic and social conditions.
Objective 7: A built form that provides a transition down in scale and intensity at the Zone’s
boundaries to maintain the amenity of properties located within adjoining
Residential Zones.
Objective 8: Development that contributes to the Desired Character of the Zone.

2 Development should comprise wholly residential buildings or mixed use buildings with non-
residential development at the ground/first floor level and residences above.
3 Development should reinforce the area as predominantly residential, with non-residential
land uses comprising no more than 40 percent of any new building.
4 Non-residential development should occur as part of a mixed use building and comprise
uses that:
(a) are of a role and function appropriate for the Zone;
(b) encourage walking and cycling to local shopping, community services and other
activities; and
(c) do not detrimentally impact on the amenity of nearby residents.
5 Licensed entertainment premises, nightclubs or bars should be small in scale, secondary to
the primary land use mix in each street and not detract from the street’s daytime
activation.
6 Development listed as non-complying is generally inappropriate.
Form and Character
7 Development should be consistent with the Desired Character for the Zone.
Design and Appearance
8 The finished ground floor level of buildings should be at grade and/or level with the
footpath to provide direct pedestrian access and street-level activation.
9 Pedestrian shelter and shade should be provided over footpaths through the use of
continuous structures such as awnings, canopies and verandahs.
12 June 2014
P29
10 The ground floors of buildings should have a minimum floor to ceiling height of 3.5 metres
to allow for adaptation to a range of land uses including shops, cafés, restaurants or
offices without the need for significant alterations to the building.
11 A minimum of 70 percent of the ground floor primary frontage of buildings should be
visually permeable, transparent or clear glazed to help create active street frontages and
maximise passive surveillance.
12 Buildings on sites with a frontage greater than 10 metres should be articulated through
variations in forms, materials, openings and colours.
.
13 Buildings should be designed to overlook or be orientated towards the Park Lands and
Squares and pedestrian and cycle routes.
Building Height
14 Except where the airport’s operations require a lesser height or the development is located
on a site greater than 1500 square metres (which may include one or more allotment),
building height should not exceed:
(a) 36 metres south of Gilles and Gilbert streets; and
(b) 29 metres north of Gilles and Gilbert streets.
15 Development should have the following minimum building height to provide optimal height
and floor space yields that activate and frame the Park Lands and Squares:
(a) 4 storeys or more south of Gilles and Gilbert streets;
(b) 3 storeys or more north of Gilles and Gilbert streets.
Setbacks
16 Buildings (excluding verandahs, porticos and the like) should generally be built to the
primary road frontage.
17 There is no minimum setback required from a rear access way where the access way is
wider than 6.5 metres. Where the access way is less than 6.5 metres in width, a setback
distance equal to the additional width required to make the access way 6.5 metres or
more, is required to provide adequate manoeuvrability for vehicles.
Car Parking
24 Car parking should be provided in accordance with Table Adel/7 and be ancillary to an
approved or existing use.
Table Adel/7 On Site car parking provisions

City Living
Housing Choice
Objective 6: A variety of housing options which supplement existing types of housing and suit
the widely differing social, cultural and economic needs of all existing and future
residents.
Objective 7: A range of long and short term residential opportunities to increase the number and
range of dwellings available whilst protecting identified areas of special character
and improving the quality of the residential environment.
Objective 8: A broad range of accommodation to meet the needs of low income, disadvantaged
and groups with complex needs whilst ensuring integration with existing residential
communities.
5 Development should comprise of a range of housing types, tenures and cost, to meet the
widely differing social and economic needs of residents.
6 Development should provide a variety of accommodation to meet the needs of low income
people, student housing, social housing, housing for single people, large and small
families, people with disabilities and people with other complex needs. These forms of
housing should be distributed throughout the Council area to avoid over-concentration of
similar types of housing in a particular area and should be of a scale and appearance that
reinforces and achieves the desired character of the locality, as expressed in the relevant
Zone and Policy Area.
7 Residential development should be designed to be adaptable to meet people’s needs
throughout their lifespan to ensure that changes associated with old age, special access
and mobility can be accommodated.
Medium to High Scale Residential/Serviced Apartment
Objective 22: Medium to high scale residential (including student accommodation) or serviced
apartment development that:
(a) has a high standard of amenity and environmental performance;
(b) comprises functional internal layouts;
(c) is adaptable to meet a variety of accommodation and living needs; and
(d) includes well-designed and functional recreation and storage areas.
Building Entrances
49 Entrances to medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should:
(a) be oriented towards the street;
(b) be visible and easily identifiable from the street; and
(c) provide shelter, a sense of personal address and transitional space around the entry.
50 Entrances to individual dwellings or apartments within medium to high scale residential or
serviced apartment development should:
(a) be located as close as practical to the lift and/or lobby access and minimise the need
for long access corridors;
(b) be clearly identifiable; and
(c) avoid the creation of potential areas for entrapment.
Daylight, Sunlight and Ventilation
51 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should be designed to
maximise opportunities to facilitate natural ventilation and capitalise on natural daylight
and minimise the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.
12 June 2014
P32
52 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should be designed
and located to maximise solar access to dwellings and communal open space on the
northern facade.
53 Ceiling heights that promote the use of taller windows, highlight windows, fan lights and
light shelves should be utilised to facilitate access to natural light, improve daylight
distribution and enhance air circulation, particularly in dwellings with limited light access
and deep interiors.
54 All new medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should have
direct ventilation and natural light.
55 The maximum distance of a habitable room such as a living, dining, bedroom or kitchen
from a window providing natural light and ventilation to that room is 8 metres.
56 Light wells should not be used as the primary source of daylight for living rooms to ensure
a sufficient level of outlook and daylight.
57 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should be designed to
ensure living areas, private open space or communal open space, where such communal
open space provides the primary area of private open space, are the main recipients of
sunlight.
58 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should locate living
areas, private open space and communal open space, where such communal open space
provides the primary area of private open space, where they will receive sunlight and,
where possible, should maintain at least two hours of direct sunlight solar time on 22 June
to:
(a) at least one habitable room window (excluding bathroom, toilet, laundry or storage
room windows);
(b) to at least 20 percent of the private open space; and
(c) communal open space, where such communal open space provides the primary private
open space for any adjacent residential development.
59 Natural cross ventilation of habitable rooms should be achieved by the following methods:
(a) positioning window and door openings in different directions to encourage cross
ventilation from cooling summer breezes;
(b) installing small low level windows on the windward side and larger raised openings on
the leeward side to maximise airspeed in the room;
(c) installing higher level casement or sash windows, clerestory windows or operable
fanlight windows to facilitate convective currents;
(d) selecting windows which the occupants can reconfigure to funnel breezes such as
vertical louvred, casement windows and externally opening doors;
(e) ensuring the internal layout minimises interruptions to airflow;
(f) limiting building depth to allow for ease of cross ventilation; and/or
(g) draught proofing doors, windows and other openings.
Private Open Space
60 Medium to high scale residential development and serviced apartments should provide the
following private open space:
(a) studio (where there is no separate bedroom): no minimum requirement but some
provision is desirable.
(b) 1 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 8 square metres.
(c) 2 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 11 square metres.
(d) 3+ bedroom dwelling/apartment: 15 square metres.
12 June 2014
P33
A lesser amount of private open space may be considered appropriate in circumstances
where the equivalent amount of open space is provided in a communal open space
accessible to all occupants of the development.
Private open space for 2 or more bedroom dwellings/apartments may be divided into
different areas whilst private open space for studios or 1 bedroom dwelling/apartments
should be in a single area.
Areas used for parking of motor vehicles are not included as private open space.
Note: In Residential, Main Street and Institutional Zones, specific landscaped open space and private landscaped open space provisions apply.
61 Medium to high scale residential (other than student accommodation) or serviced
apartment development in the Capital City Zone should ensure direct access from living
areas to private open space areas, which may take the form of balconies, terraces, decks
or other elevated outdoor areas provided the amenity and visual privacy of adjacent
properties is protected.
62 Other than for student accommodation, private open space should have a minimum
dimension of 2 metres and should be well proportioned to be functional and promote
indoor/outdoor living.
63 Balconies should be integrated into the overall architectural form and detail of the
development and should:
(a) utilise sun screens, pergolas, shutters and openable walls to control sunlight and wind;
(b) be cantilevered, partially cantilevered and/or recessed in response to daylight, wind,
acoustic and visual privacy;
(c) be of a depth that ensures sunlight can enter the dwelling below; and
(d) allow views and casual surveillance of the street while providing for safety and visual
privacy.
64 Secondary balconies, including Juliet balconies or operable walls with balustrades should
be considered, subject to overlooking and privacy, for additional amenity and choice.
65 For clothes drying, balconies off laundries or bathrooms and roof top areas should be
screened from public view.
66 The incorporation of roof top gardens is encouraged providing it does not result in
unreasonable overlooking or loss of privacy.
Visual Privacy
67 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should be designed
and sited to minimise the potential overlooking of habitable rooms such as bedrooms and
living areas of adjacent development.
68 A habitable room window, balcony, roof garden, terrace or deck should be set-back from
boundaries with adjacent sites at least three metres to provide an adequate level of
amenity and privacy and to not restrict the reasonable development of adjacent sites.
Noise and Internal Layout
69 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development close to high noise
sources (e.g. major roads, established places of entertainment and centres of activity)
should be designed to locate noise sensitive rooms and private open space away from
noise sources, or be protected by appropriate shielding techniques.
12 June 2014
P34
70 Attached or abutting dwellings/apartments should be designed to minimise the
transmission of sound between dwellings and, in particular, to protect bedrooms from
possible noise intrusions.
Minimum Unit Sizes
71 Medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should provide a high
quality living environment by ensuring the following minimum internal floor areas:
(a) studio (where there is no separate bedroom): 35 square metres.
(b) 1 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 50 square metres
(c) 2 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 65 square metres
(d) 3+ bedroom dwelling/apartment: 80 square metres plus an additional 15 square
metres for every additional bedroom over 3 bedrooms.
Note: Dwelling/apartment “unit size” includes internal storage areas but does not include balconies or car parking as part of the calculation.
72 Internal structural columns should correspond with the position of internal walls to ensure
that the space within the dwelling/apartment is useable.
Adaptability
73 Within medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development,
dwelling/apartment layouts should be adaptable to accommodate:
(a) a range of activities and privacy levels between different spaces;
(b) flexible room sizes and proportions;
(c) efficient circulation to optimise the functionality of floor space within rooms; and
(d) the future reuse of student accommodation as residential apartments through a design
and layout that allows individual apartments to be reconfigured into a larger dwelling
or other alternative use.
Outlook
74 All medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development should be
designed to ensure the living rooms have a satisfactory external outlook. Living rooms that
do not have an outlook or the only source of outlook is through high level windows or a
skylight are not considered to provide an appropriate level of amenity for the occupiers.
Note: Outlook is a short range prospect and is distinct from a view which is more extensive and long range to particular objects or geographic features.
75 Light wells may be used as a source of daylight, ventilation, outlook and sunlight for
medium to high scale residential or serviced apartment development provided that:
(a) living rooms do not have lightwells as their only source of outlook;
(b) lightwells up to 18 metres in height have a minimum horizontal dimension of 3 metres
or 6 metres if overlooked by bedrooms; and
(c) lightwells higher than 18 metres in height have a minimum horizontal dimension of 6
metres or 9 metres if overlooked by bedrooms.
On-Site Parking and Fencing
Objective 23: Safe and convenient on-site car parking for resident and visitor vehicles.
76 To ensure an adequate provision of on-site parking, car parking should be provided for
medium to high scale residential (other than student accommodation) or serviced
apartment development in accordance with Table Adel/7.
77 Garages and parking structures associated with medium to high scale residential or
serviced apartment development should be located so that they do not visually dominate
the street frontage.
78 Car parking areas should be designed and located to:
12 June 2014
P35
(a) be close and convenient to dwellings/apartments;
(b) be lit at night;
(c) be well ventilated if enclosed;
(d) avoid headlight glare into windows; and
(e) clearly define visitor parking.
79 Where garages are located within a basement or undercroft:
(a) the width of access driveways should be kept to a minimum and should not detract
from the streetscape;
(b) driveways should be designed to ensure safe and convenient access and egress;
(c) access should be restricted to one driveway or one point of access and egress;
(d) vehicles should be able to safely exit in a forward direction and should not compromise
pedestrian safety or cause conflict with other vehicles; and
(e) the height of the car park ceiling should not exceed one metre above the finished
ground floor level to ensure minimal impact on the streetscape.
80 Fencing and walls should:
(a) be articulated and detailed to provide visual interest;
(b) assist the development to address the street;
(c) assist in the provision of safety and surveillance;
(d) assist in highlighting entrances; and
(e) enable visibility of buildings from and to the street.
Storage Areas
81 Site facilities should be readily accessible to each dwelling/serviced apartment,
complement the development and relevant desired character and should include:
(a) a common mail box structure located close to the main pedestrian entrance;
(b) areas for the storage and collection of goods, materials, refuse and waste including
facilities to enable the separation of recyclable materials as appropriate to the size and
nature of the development and screened from public view; and
(c) external clothes drying areas for residential dwellings that do not incorporate ground
level open space.
82 Medium to high scale residential (other than student accommodation) or serviced
apartment development should provide adequate and accessible storage facilities for the
occupants at the following minimum rates:
(a) studio: 6 cubic metres
(b) 1 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 8 cubic metres
(c) 2 bedroom dwelling/apartment: 10 cubic metres
(d) 3+ bedroom dwelling/apartment: 12 cubic metres
50 percent of the storage space should be provided within the dwelling/apartment with the
remainder provided in the basement or other communal areas.
Environmental
Crime Prevention Through Urban Design
Objective 24: A safe and secure, crime resistant environment that:
(a) ensures that land uses are integrated and designed to facilitate natural
surveillance;
(b) promotes building and site security; and
(c) promotes visibility through the incorporation of clear lines of sight and
appropriate lighting.
83 Development should promote the safety and security of the community in the public realm
and within development. Development should:
(a) promote natural surveillance of the public realm, including open space, car parks,
pedestrian routes, service lanes, public transport stops and residential areas, through
12 June 2014
P36
the design and location of physical features, electrical and mechanical devices,
activities and people to maximise visibility by:
(i) orientating windows, doors and building entrances towards the street, open
spaces, car parks, pedestrian routes and public transport stops;
(ii) avoiding high walls, blank facades, carports and landscaping that obscures direct
views to public areas
(iii) arranging living areas, windows, pedestrian paths and balconies to overlook
recreation areas, entrances and car parks;
(iv) positioning recreational and public space areas so they are bound by roads on at
least two road frontages or overlooked by development;
(v) creating a complementary mix of day and night-time activities, such as
residential, commercial, recreational and community uses, that extend the
duration and level of intensity of public activity;
(vi) locating public toilets, telephones and other public facilities with direct access and
good visibility from well-trafficked public spaces;
(vii) ensuring that rear service areas and access lanes are either secured or exposed
to surveillance; and
(viii) ensuring the surveillance of isolated locations through the use of audio monitors,
emergency telephones or alarms, video cameras or staff eg by surveillance of lift
and toilet areas within car parks.
(b) provide access control by facilitating communication, escape and path finding within
development through legible design by:
(i) incorporating clear directional devices;
(ii) avoiding opportunities for concealment near well travelled routes;
(iii) closing off or locking areas during off-peak hours, such as stairwells, to
concentrate access/exit points to a particular route;
(iv) use of devices such as stainless steel mirrors where a passage has a bend;
(v) locating main entrances and exits at the front of a site and in view of a street;
(vi) providing open space and pedestrian routes which are clearly defined and have
clear and direct sightlines for the users; and
(vii) locating elevators and stairwells where they can be viewed by a maximum
number of people, near the edge of buildings where there is a glass wall at the
entrance.
(c) promote territoriality or sense of ownership through physical features that express
ownership and control over the environment and provide a clear delineation of public
and private space by:
(i) clear delineation of boundaries marking public, private and semi-private space,
such as by paving, lighting, walls and planting;
(ii) dividing large development sites into territorial zones to create a sense of
ownership of common space by smaller groups of dwellings; and
(iii) locating main entrances and exits at the front of a site and in view of a street.
(d) provide awareness through design of what is around and what is ahead so that
legitimate users and observers can make an accurate assessment of the safety of a
locality and site and plan their behaviour accordingly by:
(i) avoiding blind sharp corners, pillars, tall solid fences and a sudden change in grade
of pathways, stairs or corridors so that movement can be predicted;
(ii) using devices such as convex security mirrors or reflective surfaces where lines of
sight are impeded;
(iii) ensuring barriers along pathways such as landscaping, fencing and walls are
permeable;
(iv) planting shrubs that have a mature height less than one metre and trees with a
canopy that begins at two metres;
(v) adequate and consistent lighting of open spaces, building entrances, parking and
pedestrian areas to avoid the creation of shadowed areas; and
(vi) use of robust and durable design features to discourage vandalism.
12 June 2014
P37
84 Residential development should be designed to overlook streets, public and communal
open space to allow casual surveillance.
85 To maximise security and safety, buildings should be designed to minimise access between
roofs, balconies and windows of adjacent buildings.
86 Security features should be incorporated within the design of shop fronts to complement
the design of the frontage and allow window shopping out of hours. If security grilles are
provided, these should:
(a) be transparent and illuminated to complement the appearance of the frontage;
(b) provide for window shopping; and
(c) allow for the spill of light from the shop front onto the street.
Solid shutters with less than 75 percent permeability are not acceptable.
Noise Emissions
Objective 26: Development that does not unreasonably interfere with the desired character of
the locality by generating unduly annoying or disturbing noise.
Objective 27: Noise sensitive development designed to protect its occupants from existing
noise sources and from noise sources contemplated within the relevant Zone or
Policy Area and that does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of non-
residential uses contemplated within the relevant Zone or Policy Area.
Noise Sources
90 Development with potential to emit significant noise (including licensed entertainment
premises and licensed premises) should incorporate appropriate noise attenuation
measures in to their design to prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with
the amenity and desired character of the locality, as contemplated in the relevant Zone
and Policy Area.
92 Development of licensed premises or licensed entertainment premises or similar in the
Capital City, Main Street and City Frame Zones should include noise attenuation measures
to achieve the following when assessed at:
(a) the nearest existing noise sensitive location in or adjacent to that Zone:
(i) music noise (L10, 15 min) less than 8 dB above the level of background noise
(L90,15 min) in any octave band of the sound spectrum; and (ii) music noise (LA10, 15
min) less than 5 dB(A) above the level of background noise (LA90,15 min) for the
overall (sum of all octave bands) A-weighted levels; or
(b) the nearest envisaged future noise sensitive location in or adjacent to that Zone:
(i) music noise (L10, 15 min) less than 8dB above the level of background noise
(L90,15 min) in any octave band of the sound spectrum and music noise (L10, 15
min) less than 5dB(A) above the level of background noise (LA90,15 min) for the
overall (sum of all octave bands) A-weighted levels; or
(ii) music noise (L10, 15 min) less than 60dB(Lin) in any octave band of the sound
spectrum and the overall (LA10,15 min) noise level is less than 55 dB(A).
93 Speakers should not be placed on the fascias of premises or on the pavement adjacent to
the premises to ensure development does not diminish the enjoyment of other land in the
locality.
94 Mechanical plant or equipment, should be designed, sited and screened to minimise noise
impact on adjacent premises or properties. The noise level associated with the combined
operation of plant and equipment such as air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration
systems when assessed at the nearest existing or envisaged noise sensitive location in or
adjacent to the site should not exceed:
12 June 2014
P38
(a) 55 dB(A) during daytime (7.00am to 10.00pm) and 45 dB(A) during night time
(10.00pm to 7.00am) when measured and adjusted in accordance with the relevant
environmental noise legislation except where it can be demonstrated that a high
background noise exists.
(b) 50 dB(A) during daytime (7.00am to 10.00pm) and 40 dB(A) during night time
(10.00pm to 7.00am) in or adjacent to a Residential Zone, the North Adelaide Historic
(Conservation) Zone or the Park Lands Zone when measured and adjusted in
accordance with the relevant environmental noise legislation except where it can be
demonstrated that a high background noise exists.
95 To ensure minimal disturbance to residents:
(a) ancillary activities such as deliveries, collection, movement of private waste bins,
goods, empty bottles and the like should not occur:
(i) after 10.00pm; and
(ii) before 7.00am Monday to Saturday or before 9.00am on a Sunday or Public
Holiday.
(b) typical activity within any car park area including vehicles being started, doors closing
and vehicles moving away from the premises should not result in sleep disturbance
when proposed for use after 10.00pm as defined by the limits recommended by the
World Health Organisation.
Noise Receivers
96 Noise sensitive development should incorporate adequate noise attenuation measures into
their design and construction to provide occupants with reasonable amenity when exposed
to noise sources such as major transport corridors (road, rail, tram and aircraft),
commercial centres, entertainment premises and the like, and from activities and land
uses contemplated in the relevant Zone and Policy Area provisions.
97 Noise sensitive development in mixed use areas should not unreasonably interfere with the
operation of surrounding non-residential uses that generate noise levels that are
commensurate with the envisaged amenity of the locality.
98 Noise sensitive development adjacent to noise sources should include noise attenuation
measures to achieve the following:
(a) satisfaction of the sleep disturbance criteria in the bedrooms or sleeping areas of the
development as defined by the limits recommended by the World Health Organisation;
(b) the maximum satisfactory levels in any habitable room for development near major
roads, as provided in the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2107:2000 -

by:
(a) containing a dedicated area for the collection and sorting of construction waste and
recyclable building materials;
(b) on-site storage and management of waste;
(c) disposal of non-recyclable waste; and
(d) incorporating waste water and stormwater re-use including the treatment and re-use
of grey water.
105 Development should not result in emission of atmospheric, liquid or other pollutants, or
cause unacceptable levels of smell and odour which would detrimentally affect the amenity
of adjacent properties or its locality. Land uses such as restaurants, shops, cafés or other
uses that generate smell and odour should:
(a) ensure extraction flues, ventilation and plant equipment are located in appropriate
locations that will not detrimentally affect the amenity of adjacent occupiers in terms of
noise, odours and the appearance of the equipment;
(b) ensure ventilation and extraction equipment and ducting have the capacity to clean
and filter the air before being released into the atmosphere; and
(c) ensure the size of the ventilation and extraction equipment is suitable and has the

patrons.
Contaminated Sites
Objective 29: A safe and healthy living and working environment.
12 June 2014
P40
106 Where there is evidence of, or reasonable suspicion that land, buildings and/or water,
including underground water, may have been contaminated, or there is evidence of past
potentially contaminating activity/ies, development should only occur where it is
demonstrated that the land, buildings and/or water can be made suitable for its intended
use prior to commencement of that use.
Note: Information of the suitability of land for the proposed land use should be provided as part of the development application and should include:
(a) the provision of a report of the land use history and condition of the site; (b) where the report reveals that contamination is suspected or identified, a detailed site assessment report that determines whether site contamination poses an actual or potential risk to human health and the environment, either on or off the site, of sufficient magnitude to warrant remediation appropriate to the proposed land use; (c) where remediation is warranted, a remediation and/or management strategy prepared in consultation with an independent Environmental Auditor, Contaminated Land, endorsed by the EPA; (d) a site audit report, prepared by an independent Environmental Auditor, Contaminated Land, endorsed by the EPA, that states that in the opinion of the Auditor, the site is suitable for the intended uses(s), or for certain stated uses(s) and also states any conditions pertaining to the use(s).
Energy Efficiency
Objective 30: Development which is compatible with the long term sustainability of the
environment, minimises consumption of non-renewable resources and utilises
alternative energy generation systems.
All Development
107 Buildings should provide adequate thermal comfort for occupants and minimise the need
for energy use for heating, cooling and lighting by:
(a) providing an internal day living area with a north-facing window, other than for minor
additions*, by:
(i) arranging and concentrating main activity areas of a building to the north for solar
penetration; and
(ii) placing buildings on east-west allotments against or close to the southern boundary
to maximise northern solar access and separation to other buildings to the north.
(b) efficient layout, such as zoning house layout to enable main living areas to be
separately heated and cooled, other than for minor additions;
(c) locating, sizing and shading windows to reduce summer heat loads and permit entry of
winter sun;
(d) allowing for natural cross ventilation to enable cooling breezes to reduce internal
temperatures in summer;
(e) including thermal insulation of roof, walls, floors and ceilings and by draught proofing
doors, windows and openings;
(f) ensuring light colours are applied to external surfaces that receive a high degree of sun
exposure, but not to an extent that will cause glare which produces discomfort or
danger to pedestrians, occupants of adjacent buildings and users of vehicles;
(g) providing an external clothes line for residential development; and
(h) use of landscaping.
108 All development should be designed to promote naturally ventilated and day lit buildings to
minimise the need for mechanical ventilation and lighting systems.
109 Energy reductions should, where possible, be achieved by the following:
(a) appropriate orientation of the building by:
(i) maximising north/south facing facades;
(ii) designing and locating the building so the north facade receives good direct solar
radiation;
(iii) minimising east/west facades to protect the building from summer sun and winter
winds;

(g) introduction of efficient energy use technologies such as geo-exchange and embedded,
distributed energy generation systems such as cogeneration*, wind power, fuel cells
and solar photovoltaic panels that supplement the energy needs of the building and in
some cases, export surplus energy to the electricity grid.
110 Orientation and pitch of the roof should facilitate the efficient use of solar collectors and
photovoltaic cells
111 Buildings, where practical, should be refurbished, adapted and reused to ensure an
efficient use of resources.
112 New buildings should be readily adaptable to future alternative uses.
113 Selection of internal materials for all buildings should be made with regard to internal air
quality and ensure low toxic emissions, particularly with respect to paint and joinery
products.
Residential Development
114 New residential development and residential extensions should be designed to minimise
energy consumption and limit greenhouse gas emissions.
115 Development is encouraged to avoid heat loss by incorporating treatments, such as double
glazing of windows along the southern elevation, or by minimizing the extent of windows
facing south.
Office Development
116 The following principles of sustainable design and construction are required for new office
development, and additions and refurbishments to existing office development, to
minimise energy consumption and limit greenhouse gas emissions:
(a) passive solar consideration in the design, planning and placement of buildings;
(b) re-using and/or improving existing structures or buildings;
(c) designing for the life-cycle of the development to allow for future adaptation;
(d) considering low levels of embodied energy in the selection and use of materials;
(e) developing energy efficiency solutions including passive designs using natural light,
solar control, air movement and thermal mass. Systems should be zoned to minimise
use of energy;

street trees or the integrity of the streetscape.
120 Development should be designed and sited to minimise micro-climatic and solar access
impact on adjacent land or buildings, including effects of patterns of wind, temperature,
daylight, sunlight, glare and shadow.
12 June 2014
P42
121 Development should be designed and sited to ensure an adequate level of daylight,
minimise overshadowing of buildings, and public and private outdoor spaces, particularly
during the lunch time hours.
122 Development should not significantly reduce daylight to private open space, communal
open space, where such communal open space provides the primary private open space,
and habitable rooms in adjacent Residential Zones.
123 Glazing on building facades should not result in glare which produces discomfort or danger
to pedestrians, occupants of adjacent buildings and users of vehicles.
124 Buildings within the Core and Primary Pedestrian Areas identified in Map Adel/1 (Overlays
2, 2A and 3), unless specified otherwise within the relevant Zone or Policy Area, should be
designed to provide weather protection for pedestrians against rain, wind and sun. The
design of canopies, verandahs and awnings should be compatible with the style and
character of the building and adjoining buildings, as well as the desired character, both in
scale and detail.
125 Weather protection should not be introduced where it would interfere with the integrity or
heritage value of heritage places or unduly affect street trees.
126 Development that is over 21 metres in building height and is to be built at or on the street
frontage should minimise wind tunnel effect.
Stormwater Management
Objective 35: Development which maximises the use of stormwater.
Objective 36: Development designed and located to protect stormwater from pollution
sources.
Surface water (inland, marine, estuarine) and ground water has the potential to
be detrimentally affected by water run-off from development containing solid
and liquid wastes. Minimising and possibly eliminating sources of pollution will
reduce the potential for degrading water quality and enable increased use of
stormwater for a range of applications with environmental, economic and social
benefits.
Objective 37: Development designed and located to protect or enhance the environmental
values of receiving waters.
Objective 38: Development designed and located to prevent erosion.
Development involving soil disturbance may result in erosion and subsequently
sedimentation and pollutants entering receiving waters. Design techniques
should be incorporated during both the construction and operation phases of
development to minimise the transportation of sediment and pollutants off-site.
Objective 39: Development designed and located to prevent or minimise the risk of
downstream flooding.
127 Development of stormwater management systems should be designed and located to
improve the quality of stormwater, minimise pollutant transfer to receiving waters, and
protect downstream receiving waters from high levels of flow.
128 Development affecting existing stormwater management systems should be designed and
located to improve the quality of stormwater, minimise pollutant transfer to receiving
waters, and protect downstream receiving waters from high levels of flow.
12 June 2014

Objective 41: Provision of services and infrastructure that are appropriate for the intended
development and the desired character of the Zone or Policy Area.
133 Provision should be made for utility services to the site of a development, including
provision for the supply of water, gas and electricity and for the satisfactory disposal and
potential re-use of sewage and waste water, drainage and storm water from the site of the
development.
134 Service structures, plant and equipment within a site should be designed to be an integral
part of the development and should be suitably screened from public spaces or streets.
135 Infrastructure and utility services, including provision for the supply of water, gas and
electricity should be put in common trenches or conduits.
136 Development should only occur where it has access to adequate utilities and services,
including:
(a) electricity supply;
(b) water supply;
(c) drainage and stormwater systems;
(d) effluent disposal systems;
(e) formed all-weather public roads;
(f) telecommunications services; and

12 June 2014
P44
(d) provide for a transition of building heights between Zone and Policy Areas
where building height guidelines differ.
Objective 48: Development which incorporates a high level of design excellence in terms of
scale, bulk, massing, materials, finishes, colours and architectural treatment.
Height, Bulk and Scale
168 Development should be of a high standard of design and should reinforce the grid layout
and distinctive urban character of the City by maintaining a clear distinction between the
following:
(a) the intense urban development and built-form of the town acres in the Capital City,
Main Street, City Frame and Residential Zones;
(b) the less intense and more informal groupings of buildings set within the landscaped
environment of the Institutional Zones;
(c) The historic character of the North Adelaide Historic (Conservation) Zone; and
(d) the open landscape of the Park Lands Zone.
169 The height and scale of development and the type of land use should reflect and respond
to the role of the street it fronts as illustrated on Map Adel/1 (Overlay 1).
170 The height, scale and massing of buildings should reinforce:
(a) the desired character, built form, public environment and scale of the streetscape as
contemplated within the Zone and Policy Area, and have regard to:
(i) maintaining consistent parapet lines, floor levels, height and massing with existing
buildings consistent with the areas desired character;
(ii) reflecting the prevailing pattern of visual sub-division of neighbouring building
frontages where frontages display a character pattern of vertical and horizontal
sub-divisions; and
(iii) avoiding massive unbroken facades.
(b) a comfortable proportion of human scale at street level by:
(i) building ground level to the street frontage where zero set-backs prevail;
(ii) breaking up the building facade into distinct elements;
(iii) incorporating art work and wall and window detailing; and
(iv) including attractive planting, seating and pedestrian shelter.
172 Buildings and structures should not adversely affect by way of their height and location the
longterm operational, safety and commercial requirements of Adelaide International
Airport. Buildings and structures which exceed the heights shown in Map Adel/1 (Overlay
5) and which penetrate the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) should be designed,
marked or lit to ensure the safe operation of aircraft within the airspace around the
Adelaide International Airport.
173 Development in a non-residential Zone that abuts land in a Residential Zone or the North
Adelaide Historic (Conservation) Zone should provide a transition between high intensity
development and the lower intensity development in the adjacent Zone by focussing taller
elements away from the common Zone boundary.
271 Development located either abutting, straddling or within 20 metres of a Zone or Policy
Area boundary should provide for a transition and reasonable gradation from the character
desired from one to the other.
272 Development should not unreasonably restrict the development potential of adjacent sites,
and should have regard to possible future impacts such as loss of daylight/sunlight access,
privacy and outlook.
12 June 2014
P45
Composition and Proportion
182 Development should respect the composition and proportion of architectural elements of
building facades that form an important pattern which contributes to the streetscape’s
distinctive character in a manner consistent with the desired character of a locality by:
(a) establishing visual links with neighbouring buildings by reflecting and reinforcing the
prevailing pattern of visual sub-division in building facades where a pattern of vertical
and/or horizontal sub-divisions is evident and desirable, for example, there may be
strong horizontal lines of verandahs, masonry courses, podia or openings, or there may
be vertical proportions in the divisions of facades or windows; and
(b) clearly defining ground, middle and roof top levels.
183 Where there is little or no established building pattern, new buildings should create new
features which contribute to an areas desired character and the way the urban
environment is understood by:
(a) frontages creating clearly defined edges;
(b) generating new compositions and points of interest;
(c) introducing elements for future neighbouring buildings; and
(d) emphasising the importance of the building according to the street hierarchy.
Articulation and Modelling
184 Building facades fronting street frontages, access ways, driveways or public spaces should
be composed with an appropriate scale, rhythm and proportion which responds to the use
of the building, the desired character of the locality and the modelling and proportions of
adjacent buildings
185 Balconies should be designed to give shelter to the street or public space at first floor
levels.
186 Balconies should:
(a) respond to the street context and building orientation; and
(b) incorporate balustrade detailing to reflect the balcony type and location and the
materials and detail of the building facade.
187 No part of any fully enclosed building should extend over property boundaries, including
streets and public spaces, whether above a balcony at a lower level or not.
188 Building services such as drainage pipes together with security grills/screens, ventilation
louvers and car park entry doors, should be coordinated and integrated with the overall
facade design.
Materials, Colours and Finishes
189 The design, external materials, colours and finishes of buildings should have regard to
their surrounding townscape context, built form and public environment, consistent with
the desired character of the relevant Zone and Policy Area.
190 Development should be finished with materials that are sympathetic to the design and
setting of the new building and which incorporate recycled or low embodied energy
materials. The form, colour, texture and quality of materials should be of high quality,
durable and contribute to the desired character of the locality. Materials, colours and
finishes should not necessarily imitate materials and colours of an existing streetscape.
191 Materials and finishes that are easily maintained and do not readily stain, discolour or
deteriorate should be utilised.
192 Development should avoid the use of large expanses of highly reflective materials and
large areas of monotonous, sheer materials (such as polished granite and curtained wall
glazing).

identified in Map Adel/1 (Overlay 2A) should be limited and designed to minimise
interruption to street frontages.
247 Where vehicular access to a development is gained by an existing crossing in the Core
Pedestrian Area identified in Map Adel/1 (Overlay 2A), there should be no increase in the
number of parking spaces served by the crossing, nor any increase in the number of
existing crossings serving that development.
248 The number of access points on primary city access roads identified in Map Adel/1
(Overlay 1) should be limited to minimise traffic and pedestrian inconvenience,
interference with public transport facilities and adverse effects on the environment.
249 Buildings located along primary and secondary access roads should be sited to avoid the
need for vehicles to reverse on to the road (unless the dimensions of the site make this
impractical).
250 Access roads within residential development should:
(a) provide convenient access for emergency vehicles, visitors and residents;
(b) enable vehicles to enter and leave a site in a forward direction;
(c) provide a comfortable and safe pedestrian environment; and
(d) be well lit.
251 Access roads within residential development for older people and people with disabilities
should:
(a) include platforms across roadways at pedestrian crossing points;
(b) not have steep gradients; and
(c) have level surface passenger loading areas.
Car Parking
Objective 71: To meet community expectation for parking supply while supporting a shift
toward active and sustainable transport modes.
Objective 72: An adequate supply of short-stay and long-stay parking to support desired
growth in City activities without detrimental affect on traffic and pedestrian flows.
252 Car parking areas should be located and designed to:
(a) ensure safe and convenient pedestrian movement and traffic circulation through and
within the car parking area;
(b) include adequate provision for manoeuvring and individually accessible car standing
areas;
(c) enable, where practical, vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward direction;
(d) minimise interruption to the pattern of built form along street frontages;
(e) provide for access off minor streets and for the screening from public view of such car
parking areas by buildings on the site wherever possible;
(f) minimise adverse impacts on adjoining residential properties in relation to noise and
access and egress;
(g) minimise loss of existing on-street parking spaces arising through crossovers and
access;
(h) incorporate secure bicycle parking spaces and facilitate convenient, safe and
comfortable access to these spaces by cyclists; and
12 June 2014
P51
(i) provide landscaping, such as semi-mature trees, to shade parked vehicles and reduce
the visual impact of the car parking area while maintaining direct sight lines and
informal visual surveillance.
253 All development should provide car parking spaces for people with disabilities in
accordance with the requirements in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). For classes of
buildings not covered by the requirements of the BCA, the number of spaces should be
provided in accordance with Table Adel/7 and such car parking spaces should comply with
Australian Standard 2890.1: ‘Parking Facilities - Off-street Car Parking’.
255 Off-street parking should:
(a) be controlled in accordance with the provisions for the relevant Policy Area;
(b) be located away from street frontages or designed as an integral part of buildings on
the site. Provision of parking at basement level is encouraged; and
(c) not include separate garages or carports in front of buildings within front set-backs.
264 In areas outside the Core and Primary Pedestrian Areas identified in Map Adel/1 (Overlays
2, 2A and 3), car parking may be provided to serve a development within the site of the
development or elsewhere. Where car parking is provided, it should be:
(a) provided with vehicle access points that do not cross major walking routes identified in
Map Adel/1 (Overlay 2); and
(b) located away from frontages to major streets wherever possible.
266 Car parking associated with development for older people and people with disabilities
should:
(a) be conveniently located on site within easy walking distance to resident units;
(b) be adequate for residents, staff, service providers and visitors in accordance with the
requirements set out in Table Adel/7;
(c) include separate and appropriately marked places for people with disabilities and
spaces for small electrically powered vehicles;
(d) have slip-resistant surfaces with low gradients;
(e) allow ease of vehicle manoeuvrability;
(f) be designed to allow the full opening of all vehicle doors; and
(g) minimise the impact of car parking on adjacent residences due to visual intrusion,
noise and emission of fumes.
Economic Growth and Land Use
Objective 73: The role of the City enhanced as:
(a) the community, civic and cultural heart of South Australia and as a driving
force in the prosperity of the State;
(b) the State centre for business, administration, services, employment,
education, political and cultural activities, government and public
administration;
(c) a welcoming, secure, attractive and accessible meeting place for the people of
metropolitan Adelaide and beyond for leisure, entertainment, civic and
cultural activity, specialty shopping, personal and community services;
(d) a centre for education and research built on key academic strengths and on
the excellent learning environment and student accommodation available in
the City;
(e) a supportive environment for the development of new enterprises drawing on
the cultural, educational, research, commercial and information technology
strengths of the City centre;
(f) the gateway to the attractions of South Australia for international and
interstate visitors by developing a wide range of visitor accommodation,
facilities and attractions, particularly attractions which showcase the
particular strengths of South Australia; and
(g) a great place to live, with a growing diversity of accommodation for different
incomes and lifestyles.
12 June 2014
P52
Objective 74: A business environment which encourages investment from domestic and foreign
sources, business development and employment.
Objective 75: Development which reinforces clusters and nodes of activity and distinctive local
character.
Objective 76: A diverse mix of commercial, community, civic and residential activities to meet
the future needs of the Capital City of South Australia.
267 Development, particularly within the Capital City and Institutional Zones, is encouraged to:
(a) provide a range of shopping facilities in locations that are readily accessible;
(b) provide for the growth in economic activities that sustain and enhance the
variety and mix of land uses and the character and function of the City;
(c) maximise opportunities for co-location, multiple use and sharing of facilities;
(d) be accessible to all modes of transport (particularly public transport) and safe
pedestrian and cycling routes; and
(e) have minimal impact on the amenity of residential areas.
269 Development is encouraged to develop and expand upon the existing or create new
tourism activities to maximise employment and the long-term economic, social and
cultural benefits of developing the City as a competitive domestic and international tourist
destination.
270 Tourist facilities should be compatible with the prevailing character of the area, within
close proximity to public transport facilities and well designed and sited.
272 Development should not unreasonably restrict the development potential of adjacent sites,
and should have regard to possible future impacts such as loss of daylight/sunlight access,
privacy and outlook.
Squares and Public Spaces*
Objective 57: High quality, readily accessible external and internal open spaces in appropriate
locations that form an integral part of the public domain, provide sanctuary, visual
pleasure and a range of recreational and leisure opportunities and contribute to
the City’s pedestrian and bicycle network.
Objective 58: Development that conserves and enhances the City’s squares, improves their
visual amenity, increases their range of uses, and maximises pedestrian
accessibility to their landscaped areas.
Objective 59: A distinctive Adelaide streetscape identity through the use of street furniture,
graphics, public art, signs, lighting and landscaping, recognising existing visually
significant buildings and trees.
221 The Squares should be for the relaxation, enjoyment and leisure of the City's workers,
residents, students and visitors. The landscaped area of the Squares should where
possible, be enlarged to improve visual and functional amenity. Development should:
(a) maximise pedestrian convenience, safety and access to the landscaped area of the
Squares and reduce conflict between pedestrians and vehicles;
(b) contribute to the amenity of the City through the provision of tall trees and other
suitable drought tolerant planting;
(c) provide facilities such as seating, rest areas, and weather protection to enhance
cultural, social and outdoor recreational activity;
(d) maintain a high quality of lighting for security and amenity;
(e) minimise buildings, structures, utilities and service facilities; and
(f) maintain a high quality of design.
12 June 2014
P53
222 Development fronting public spaces should be of a high standard of design and should
reinforce the distinctive urban character of the City by:
(a) defining and enclosing the City Squares with a continuous edge of peripheral buildings
which:
(i) are of relatively consistent height and scale as appropriate to the desired character
surrounding each of the Squares;
(ii) are designed to maintain the continuity of the streetscape;
(iii) are situated close to or abutting the Square frontages;
(iv) provide ground floor activities that support the public use of the space; and
(v) are designed and sited to minimise overshadowing of the Square’s garden areas.
(b) enhancing interest, use, safety and a range of activities by ensuring:
(i) facades abutting public spaces provide visual interest; and
(ii) appropriate elements of public art;
(c) defining the major streets as important linear public spaces which display a formal
townscape character by:
(i) ensuring that buildings in the Capital City Zone maintain or re-establish, a
continuous edge of built-form abutting or situated close to major street frontages;
(ii) emphasising the townscape importance of development at the intersections of
major streets, and intersections of major streets with City Squares, with corner
buildings of a scale and form appropriate to their location and situated close to or
abutting both street frontages;
(iii) ensuring that buildings fronting on to such streets are of a shape and orientation
which relate to and reinforce the rectilinear grid pattern of the City; and
(iv) requiring that any substantial set-back, open space or plaza be behind a built-form
or landscape element which maintains or reinforces the continuity and line of the
street frontage;
(d) maintaining the existing pattern and structure of streets and laneways;
(e) restricting building over minor streets and laneways to avoid over-shadowing and
preserve the built-form pattern established by traditional land sub-division in the City;
and
(f) allowing for ease of pedestrian circulation and through access where possible
223 Development on, over, encroaching upon, or opening on to public spaces should not
endanger public safety or cause undue inconvenience to either pedestrians, including
persons with disabilities, or users of vehicles, and should ensure adequate alignment of
building levels to surface levels.
224 Cornices, sunscreens and hoods should:
(a) have a minimum height of 3 metres above the level of the footway or 5 metres above
a carriageway;
(b) have a maximum projection of 1.2 metres over a public space which exceeds 10
metres in width and a maximum of 600 millimetres over a public space which is 10
metres or less in width; and
(c) be constructed to prevent water dripping or running into a public place.
225 Public spaces should allow good visibility into and across the space to promote security
and safety and should provide opportunities for citizens to meet and socialise.
