01. Sunland Group Sunland’s journey commenced with the creation of a single luxury home 30 years ago. Since then, the Group’s visionary philosophy has endured, compelled by foresight and a commitment to architectural excellence, to inspire iconic landmarks – Palazzo Versace, the world’s first fashion branded luxury hotel; Q1, the world’s tallest residential tower; and the sculptural and organic forms of the award-winning Yve and Balencea residential towers in Melbourne. At the heart of Sunland’s enduring commitment to creating ‘architecture as art’ is our vision to build vibrant and beautiful communities. Together, our design philosophy and our values work hand in hand to engage, transform and define the experience of ‘community’, not only for the individual but for the collective. Sunland is excited to bring these learnings to the establishment of our newest community, Adresse.

02. Adresse Located 25 kilometres southwest of the Melbourne CBD, Adresse is a vibrant community of approximately 470 homes, spanning 33 hectares in the heart of Point Cook. The community is staged around a magnificent two hectare central park which will become a focal point for residents of Adresse and the broader community. Adresse presents the final piece of prime undeveloped land in Point Cook and will provide a diverse mix of premium housing options on generously sized lots, connected by tree lined boulevards and pathways. In creating this ideal community environment, it is essential that the quality of the homes, streetscapes and parklands is upheld by well-considered design guidelines. These guidelines not only enhance your neighbourhood and lifestyle, they also protect your investment into the future.

ADRESSE DESIGN GUIDELINES
03. Purpose and Precincts The Design Guidelines set a high standard of housing and landscaping that will protect the value of your most important investment: your family home. By adhering to these standards, you can be sure that the house you build will be in keeping with the high quality of your neighbours. The standards set will uphold the long term value of your individual property and the community as a whole. Adresse is divided into two precincts for design requirements: the Standard Precinct, which will be the image of contemporary house designs with modern detail, clean lines, simple shapes and providing an uncluttered appearance; and the Park Precinct, surrounding the community’s prime asset. The Park Precinct will include additional design requirements to enhance the status of the park and create a grand statement. The use of different materials, façade articulation, varying roof forms and a variety of designs is encouraged in all precincts.

04. The Design Guidelines Process The Design Review Committee (DRC) is comprised of a Sunland Group representative and a consultant from Taylors Development Strategists. This document has been developed and provided to each purchaser to clearly define and outline the guidelines for Adresse. They are enforced to enhance, not restrict dwelling design.

VERSION TWO | 10 JUNE 2014
ADRESSE DESIGN GUIDELINES
05. The Application Process STEP 1 Once you have purchased your property, decide upon your builder and house design. STEP 2 Review your chosen design against the Design Guidelines to ensure all criteria are met. Complete the Builder/Owner Design Checklist at Appendix B against the Design Guidelines and your house plans. STEP 3 Complete the Purchaser Acknowledgment Form. Compile the required documentation, including acknowledgment form and checklist, and submit to the Adresse DRC for assessment.
Please note that applications will not be assessed unless all documentation has been submitted with the assessment. Until such time, applications will be returned to the applicant to fulfil the assessment criteria. STEP 4 Within 10 business days, the DRC will provide either written approval or request further information. STEP 5 Should the initial application fail, you will be required to amend your documentation and resubmit it to the DRC for further review. STEP 6 Within 5 business days of resubmission, the DRC will complete a review of your documentation. The assessment process will continue until such time that the application achieves compliance and a Final Approval can be issued. STEP 7 Once the application has received Final Approval, you will be required to obtain a Building Permit through a licensed Building Surveyor prior to construction of your dwelling.
POST ENDORSEMENT AND COMPLIANCE INSPECTION STEP 8 Once construction of your home has been completed, you will be required to submit a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy to the DRC, which will trigger a site inspection to ensure the house has been built in accordance with the approved plans. STEP 9 Any subsequent variations from approved plans will need to be approved by the DRC. Non-compliant items are to be rectified immediately at the expense of the owner or the builder.
VERSION TWO | 10 JUNE 2014

ADRESSE DESIGN GUIDELINES
05. The Application Process - Continued
LANDSCAPING ENDORSEMENT, INSPECTION AND REBATE STEP 10 Within 30 days of the approval of your house plans by the DRC a front landscaping plan is required to be submitted for assessment. This is a mandatory step in your construction process. The Vendor has arranged several standard landscape designs available through nominated contractors to assist with this process. The list of nominated contractors is available at the land sales office. You may still choose your own designer or contractor to prepare front landscaping plans. If the landscape plan is not submitted prior to the certificate of occupancy or installation, you may be ineligible for the landscape rebate. STEP 11 Complete the front landscaping within three months of the date of your home’s Certificate of Occupancy in accordance with the approved plans. Failure to do so may mean you are ineligible for the landscape rebate. STEP 12 Once completed submit the ‘Request for Landscape Contribution Form’ located in the Contract of Sale and a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy for your home. A Final inspection of your property will be completed to ensure all site works, including landscaping is completed in accordance with the approved plans. If all criteria in the guidelines and in the Contract of Sale have been met, you will be eligible for the landscape rebate. Should the inspection fail, you will be asked to rectify non-compliant works. The amount of the rebate is detailed in the Contract of Sale.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES 1. Applications exceeding two or more submissions may incur a fee, payable prior to plan approval and release. This includes any preliminary reviews of plans/siting. Please contact the DRC to ascertain if a fee is payable. 2. If there is a change to any of your plans following DRC approval, all documentation must be resubmitted for review and re-approval. Failure to comply may mean you are ineligible for your landscape rebate. An additional fee may be applied for any assessments associated with changes to designs. 3. Any renovations, modifications or additional structures are to be approved by the DRC prior to installation. An additional fee will be applied for any assessments associated with changes to designs. 4. In the instance of conflict between two or more Design Controls, the decision of the DRC will be final. The DRC exercises its discretion to vary Design Guidelines prior to or after construction. The Purchaser or their representative will not object and the DRC or the Vendor will not be held liable for doing so. Variations to the guidelines will not set precedent for future dwellings. 5. Periodic compliance checks will be carried out by a representative of the DRC to ensure compliance. 6. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser and builder to ensure compliance with all applicable building and statutory regulations including obtaining a building permit for your home. DRC approval is an additional step on top of any other building or statutory approval requirement.

30. National Broadband Network All homes at Adresse are required to connect to the National Broadband Network. Fibre infrastructure will run past each home, capable of delivering phone and high speed internet through your chosen retailer. You should make your builder aware of the wiring requirements, and request they make your home NBN ready. You may not want to connect your home to the NBN initially, but the costs and disturbance to landscaping and your home to cable your home for NBN in future may be considerable. It will also add value to your home if you chose to sell it in future. Please note that the Vendor only provides infrastructure to your lot boundary, and wiring from the lot boundary to your home and connection is your cost. You should be aware of preparation works to enable new dwellings to be connected to NBN Co fibre. We advise you of the guides below, with links to the NBN Co website:
