Solar Panels
The development of smart and sustainable homes is strongly encouraged to promote a healthy and vibrant lifestyle.
Onsite solar generation and use of reclaimed energy is encouraged and will provide financial benefits for the homeowner.
- To limit the impact on neighbouring properties and ensure an efficient solar system, the installation of solar panels must be considered during the home design process.
- Solar panels must be integrated into the structure of the roof plane to limit its appearance to neighbours.
- Where possible, solar panels are to be at the same angle of the roof plane. Solar panels on frames above the roof plane and at a different angle to the roof plane should be minimised.
Shade Sails
- The use of shade sails, shade cloth and tarps are not permitted.
- Shade sails may not be used to shade or screen motor vehicles or recreational vehicles.
Other Structures
- Rooftop satellite dishes, antennas, etc. must not be visible from the street, primary or secondary frontages or public space.
- Roof mounted hot water systems must not be visible from the street, primary or secondary frontages or public space.
