Highgate Design Guidelines

What are we doing?

In 1995, 58 lots within the area bounded by Smith Street, Broome Street and Wright Street were subdivided. As a condition of the State Government's subdivision approval design guidelines were prepared.

The design guidelines addressed elements including: the interface to existing dwellings in the locality and the streetscape; height and bulk of buildings; setbacks; and car parking.

The current design guidelines need to be reviewed and reformed so that they can be clearly implemented to deliver the objectives.

What do we need?

The purpose of this consultation is to understand the community sentiment regarding the conservation of the streetscape and to understand the most important elements of the streetscape.

The current design guidelines can be accessed by clicking here.
