“Neighbours who care become communities that thrive”

Careful consideration has been given to fostering a sense of privacy, security, comfort, functionality and aesthetics at Everdene. Below are some additional measures to supporting the aspirations of the Everdene community.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Servicing infrastructure

Waste

• Air conditioning units, hot water units, gas bottles, PV system batteries, electric car charging ports, water tanks, clotheslines and garbage bins must not be visible from the street.
• Electrical meter box colours must complement the wall colour.
• The use of solar panels within the estate is encouraged, though solar panels are not permitted on the roof of the front facade.
• Reticulated Gas is not available to the site. Gas bottles are permitted but must not be visible from the street.
• Visually obtrusive and unsightly items such as hot water storage tanks, garbage bins, rainwater tanks, utility meters, air conditioning condensers, air conditioning service lines, clotheslines, TV antenna and garden sheds are not to be directly visible from the street. These items should also have a minimal visual impact on adjacent dwellings.

Vehicles

• Vehicles of any kind are not permitted in your front yard, on footpaths, verges or vacant land. Your driveway can be used to park cars or light utilities but not for long term storage of boats, caravans or containers.
• To keep thoroughfares clear, trucks or similar vehicles cannot be parked on the roadway for extended periods of time.
• Storage of trucks, trailers, boats, caravans or similar must be parked off street and out of view from streets and public domain.

Gardens

• Front gardens should be kept tidy with grass (including verge) mowed regularly, gardens weeded, and plants thriving for an evergreen look and feel.
• Garden sheds are not to be directly visible from the street or public domain and should have minimal visual impact on neighbouring dwellings.
• Rubbish bins should always be kept behind fences or screened from both public and neighbouring allotment views; except for the day of rubbish collection.

Laundry

• Clothes drying facilities must be located away from or screened from public view.

Window fittings

• Homes should be fitted with curtains, blinds or shutters. Please ensure visually prominent security screens (e.g. diamond grills); or vertical blinds are not installed on doors or windows facing any street frontage.
• External window roller shutters and security blinds are not permitted.

Construction

• Mirvac will be trialling different waste removal systems with home builders to ensure that waste is kept to a minimum and recycled where possible. The aim is to minimise the dumping of material in landfill.
• During home construction, no rubbish can accumulate on the lot unless stored in a skip or bin and trade vehicles or delivery vehicles must not park on verges, footpaths, nature strips or park reserves.
• Building materials are not permitted to be delivered or stored on the nature strip or anywhere outside the title boundary.

Other

• No advertising signage is permitted on either vacant land or an occupied allotment.
