[20] Preliminary Design Requirements

Preliminary Design Requirements

 

As stated in the Brisbane City Plan 2000, the Local Plan Component of the City Plan “provides detailed guidance for development outcomes across particular localities of the city” (Brisbane City Council 2000). 

Given this, the preliminary design process includes research into the requirements of the Local Plan noting that The Local Plan “contains Performance Criteria and Acceptable Solutions that vary from or are in addition to those contained in applicable/ relevant Codes. For example, Local Plan Acceptable Solutions may specify different heights, setbacks or car parking requirements, or provide additional Acceptable Solutions in relation to preferred built form outcomes” (Brisbane City Council 2000).

Further reference shall also be made to the Brisbane City Council Landscaping Code noting that the Landscaping Code applies to our sites circumstance with the Landscaping Code stating that “…a Landscape Concept Plan may also be requested for a Reconfiguring of a Lot application, depending on the nature and scale of the development” and it shall ”be limited to where landscaping detail is critical to the mitigation of impacts” (Brisbane City Council Plan 2000, Landscaping Code).

Other relevant standards apply to the layout and physical geometry of car parks and these are to be designed in accordance with Australian Standards AS 2890.1, AS 2890.2 and AS 2890.3.
