Bushfire Attack Level Assessment Report for Byford Meadows

Western Australia is a state prone to bushfires, this is a fact of life.  We need to do what we can to minimise the risk associated to residents and one way to do this is to have a risk assessment done.  The Bushfire Attack Level rating indicates any building, construction standards that should be used in the building process to reduce the chance of fire spreading from adjoining bushland into homes.  The rating takes into account that fire can attack a home/building by direct heat, flames or floating embers.

It is important for you to check if your homesite has a BAL rating.

Design Guidelines

BUILDING FORM
The basis for these design guidelines draws inspiration from the country homesteads of the Byford
region and the equine and farming heritage whilst recognising the need for housing diversity to create
high quality appearance in its built form, landscaping and overall streetscape.

Roof form

• Hip and gable roof pitch shall be a minimum of 24 degrees
• Skillion roof are subject to developer’s approval
• metal deck roofs and shingle tiles are encouraged but not required
• black roofs are not permitted (no darker than Colourbond Woodland Grey or equivalent)

Paint colours

• The colour palette should be predominately of an ‘earthy’ tone. Traditional heritage colours are
  encouraged. All colour schemes are subject to approval by The Seller.

Overall Built Form
Primary Elevations
To ensure architectural integrity is incorporated into the design of homes, a minimum of 2 of the
following character features must be used in the primary elevation –

• A front entry feature to highlight the main entry to the dwelling that may include an extended
  pillars or blade wall, open pergola, portico, arbor, gate house.
• A protruding wall (such as a blade wall or a wall that extends above the gutter line in a feature
  material or colour.
• A traditional hip, gable or skillion roof in a metal deck finish such as colourbond in the
  recommended colours.
• A verandah, balcony or porch located parallel to the street or public reserve.
• A roof feature such as a gable, gambrel, extended height with a recessed feature, dormer
  windows or a separate roof line or gable to a porch, verandah or balcony.
• Three or more indentations or projection in the floor plan which are mirrored in the roof plan
  (excludes garages).

Secondary Elevations

• Homes located on a corner or with a side boundary adjacent to a street, park or public access way
  shall provide a secondary elevation. Secondary elevations shall be an extension of the primary
  elevation building features (i.e. colours, materials and other building design features such as
  windows, verandahs etc…). The treatment of the secondary elevation shall continue back from
  the corner of the home (nearest the secondary street/park) for at least 3 metres.
• Where open fencing is proposed for the full length of the secondary elevation, front elevation
  materials and finishes shall be continued for the full length of the secondary elevation or to all
  areas visible from public view.
• Avoid placing meter boxes on secondary corner elevations. Where this in unavoidable, ensure the
  meter box is set back from the corner of the house at least 2 metres or if less than 2 metres
  painted in a colour to match the adjacent walls.
• Major openings are to be in vertical proportion within the first 3 metres to a habitable room.
• Secondary elevations are not mandatory where a home abuts a laneway to the side boundary.
