4 FOREST SPRINGS ESTATE The Cascades

1. OVERVIEWThe Forest Springs Residential Building and Design Guidelines (Design Guide) have been created to encourage the construction of a diverse, interesting, and vibrant modern community with quality homes and streetscapes. Through compliance with the Design Guide you and your neighbours will further enhance the community in which you have chosen to build your new home.

The Design Guide forms part of your purchase contract. All Owners of Lots in this development must comply with this Design Guide. Compliance with the Design Guide is required in order for you to claim the return of a $2,500 Performance Bond which was included in your purchase price, and held by the developer.

2. APPROVAL OF AUTHORITIES2.1 The Design Guide is complimentary to statutory requirements. Compliance with this Design Guide does

not exempt your building works from compliance with local or any other authority’s requirements. Compliance with this Design Guide does not imply that all local or any other authority’s requirements have been satisfied.

3. DESIGN APPROVAL PROCESS3.1 Before undertaking any building work the Owner must first obtain written approval from the Forest

Springs Design Guide Review Panel. The steps to undertake this review are as follows:

Step 1: Purchase your Lot

Step 2: Design your dwelling to comply with the Design Guide.

Step 3: Have your Builder or Designer submit your building application and documentation to the Design Guide Review Panel (PDF format) via email addressed to [email protected]

Step 4: The Design Guide Review Panel will issue an invoice for the review costs and undertake an assessment of your submission. A properly made submission will be completed within 10 business days.

Step 5: Subject to your application conforming to the Design Guide, written approval is issued by the Design Guide Review Panel. Where not suitably complying, the Design Guide Review Panel will identify the items requiring further consideration. Revised documentation will need to be submitted before approval can be issued.

Step 6: You or your builder should then lodge building plans for local authority approval.

Step 7: Construction of your home may commence in accordance with the Design Guide and local authority approvals.

Step 8: Once your home has been completed you should complete the application for the refund of your Performance Bond and apply to the Design Guide Review Panel for a final inspection.

Step 9: Once a successful final completion inspection has taken place and you have submitted your Performance Bond Return form to the Design Guide Review Panel, your Performance Bond will be returned by the end of the following month.

4. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS4.1 Complete your Application Form and Checklist

4.2 Prepare and submit your Building Documentation to the Design Guide Review Panel including drawings (please refer to Application Requirements Checklist at the back of this document).

4.3 The Design Review Panel reserves the right to apply and enforce the Design Guide at their discretion including making variations to the Design Guide and approving non-complying designs. Approval of a non-complying design is specific to that particular application and cannot be construed as:

a. Allowing that same design for other applications or;

b. A variation of the Design Guide.
