Meridian Park will also provide an employment base for the rapidly
expanding North West Corridor, which includes developments
such as LandCorp’s future sustainable residential development at
Alkimos.
G1.2 Unique Vision
The designers of Meridian Park have challenged the traditional
concept of the industrial precinct, aiming to create an intelligent
commercial development with a strong sense of place with a sound
economic and environmental future.
Working together, these Town Planners, Architects, Engineers
and Developers have crafted an exciting vision for a commercial
community that blends the features of; intelligent design, abundant
amenities, a desirable location and ecological sensitivity.
G1.3 Development Area
The Meridian Park development area comprises approximately 400
hectares of industrial land to be jointly developed by LandCorp and
the City of Wanneroo. Meridian Park is situated off Flynn Drive within
the 1000 hectare Neerabup Industrial Area, north of Wanneroo. The
Meridian Park development is expected to meet the industrial land
needs of Perth’s rapidly growing North West Corridor for the next
20 years.

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
This Mandatory Section of the Design Requirements establishes the minimum acceptable development criteria for key aspects applicable to all development within Meridian Park.
URBAN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL FORM
M1.1
Consolidate all customer service areas and employee amenities
within the front building zone, and the operational area within the
rear building zone.
M1.2
Design to setback requirements are listed below, see also Section
S2, S6 and A3.
6m fixed front setback
3m side setback (for a minimum length of 21m from the front
boundary) to create a Micro-Climate Zone (see Landscape
section M4.11 and Fencing and Signage section M6). Not
applicable to secondary street corner Lots.
M1.3
Building designs are to provide visual interest to the street by
creating active building façades (predominantly glazed and
preferably with visible access points or opennings) and/ or other
creative solutions that engage and respect the streetscape. Refer to
precedent studies in section A8 for examples.
Glazing should bring day lighting to customer service areas and
provide surveilance of the street.
Building entries should be clearly visible from the street and provide
intuitive way-finding for visitors and present a positive corporate
image. Refer to the Estate Architect for additional explanation.
Additional shading devices may be required on east and west
elevations.
M1.4
Canopies, awnings and solar shading devices play an important role
in the character of a facade and are to be utilised and thoughtfully
integrated into the facade as required on elevations visible from the
street.
Developments that apply feature materials and colours to elements
of the built form to provide visual amenity are encouraged. Refer to
Section A8 and A9 – Precedents and Materials Guide.
M1.5
Developments of more than one building must be complimentary to
each other in terms of scale.
M1.6
Secondary street facing facades on corner Lots are to be of similar
architectural quality as the prime street facade.
M1.7
‘Lean-to’ structures added to the predominant building mass must
be a minimum height equivalent to two storey (7m).
M1.8
Building designs and landscape treatments are to address Crime
Prevention through Environmental Design principles. Refer to
Section M4 and S7 for more details.
M1.9
Submission Requirements:

7Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTSM2 PASSIVE DESIGN
M2.1
All developments are to optimise the application of passive solar
design principles (described in Section S12) and as required in the
Building Code of Australia, including; building orientation, shading,
natural lighting and cross-flow ventilation etc. Street facing
facades, which are to be prominently glazed to satisfy the urban
design principles, must be appropriately shaded from solar heat
gain.
M2.2
External shading devices (overhangs, directional louvers, shutters
and awnings) are to be provided for all north, west and east facing
openings exposed to solar heat gain.
M2.3
Provide a suitable level of natural lighting to the floor level of all
buildings by incorporating strategically placed windows, light
shelves, light wells, awning reflectors etc into the overall design.
If this can not be demonstrated by the developer and determined
by the Estate Architect by casual review of the drawings and
good design practice, then a computer model may be requested
to confirm that at least 30% of the total floor area of all buildings
achieve a Daylight Factor (DF) of 2.0% as measured at 1.0m above
floor level measured under a uniform design sky.
M2.4
Hi level (clerestory) operable windows and vent openings are to be
provided within the building to ensure cross ventilation and heat
purging.
M2.5
Pale coloured roof and wall materials are to be used to reduce heat
gain in summer and reduce cooling energy levels and costs.
The maximum roof solar absorptance (SA) permitted is 0.5, refer
to BCA for colour classification and BASIX (NSW). Colorbond have
a number of Very Light (SA <0.35) and Light (SA <0.55) colorbond
steel roof solutions.
M2.6
Ceiling voids are to be ventilated to remove excess heat in summer.

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS3GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES
S3.1 Guiding Principles – General Industrial Development
There is scope to create a number of built form designs that
comply with the mandatory requirements. Listed below are some
explanatory notes on the main design principles. Please also refer
to Appendix A8and A9 for a number of inspirational precedents.
1. The desired built form outcome is for simple singular building
masses of consistent height (equivalent to two storeys) to
incorporate administration, showroom and industrial uses.
Traditional lean-to offices are discouraged.
2. Buildings are placed to create a pairing effect with adjoining
developments. This promotes a unified streetscape, rhythmic
urban design, centralised cross-over locations and opportunities
for shared access and serviceability. The front setbacks are
reduced to 6m to bring the buildings close to the street and
create a boulevard feel.
3. Side walls can be expressed as feature (blade) walls which are
allowed to extend 3m into the primary setback zone.
4. Front elevations would ideally be predominantly glazed or
contribute positively to the streetscape in another way (refer to
M1.3 and precedents in section A8).
5. General orientation is to be perpendicular to the street and to
have side access servicing from the open hardstand/ parking
area.
6. Openings (windows, clerestory windows, doors, roller shutters)
in the side walls promote cross ventilation.
7. 3m side setbacks create a linear micro-climate zone between
neighbouring buildings. This landscaped zone provides a
breakout space for staff and promotes greater natural light and
cross-ventilation. This is mandatory within 21m of the prime lot
boundary and encouraged for the depth of the whole site. Non-
landscaped areas greater than 21m from the street boundary
should be screened from view.
8. Skylights to promote natural light through the roof.
9. Parking between the building facade and the street should be
avoided (other than roadside embayment parking bays). Off
street parking and hardstand areas are located to the sides of
buildings to create openness to maximise land use efficiencies
whilst maintaining good urban design principles.

Primary Street frontage will be determined by LandCorp
Secondary Street setbacks: minimum 3 metres, except as varied
by a Detailed Area Plan
S3.3 Internal Zones (refer to plan diagram in M3)

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS4REQUIREMENTS FOR SERVICE INDUSTRIAL
S4.1 Application
Service Industrial lots within Stages 1 to 5 are highlighted on the
plan in Appendix A2.
S4.2 Building Setbacks and Layout
The general requirements of the two service industrial development
scenarios are outlined below. Guidance from the Estate Architect
will be required in determining setbacks for individual lots in each
scenario. (Read in context with the diagrams on this page)
Main Building Mass should be built to the side boundary
(secondary street boundary for corner lots) to maintain built
edge.
Secondary Building Mass (smaller scaled building proportionate
to Main Building Mass) should front the primary street (this will
assist with screening of service yard).
Corner lots can locate rainwater tanks on the secondary street
behind the front setback line. All other lots can locate rainwater
tanks within the setback zone.
Service areas should be screened by the Secondary Building
Mass.
Car parking and shared crossovers are encouraged to be located
on the primary street.
Secondary Building Mass should front the primary street and
screen service areas behind.
6m wide access-way is to be maintained through to rear and

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS5 LANDMARK AND DAP SITES
S5.1
Sites in key prominent locations have been nominated as landmark
sites and the development on these sites are guided by Detailed
Area Plans (DAPs).
The key objectives of landmark sites are:
To promote prominent architectural form on corner elements to
provide a reference point in the built form and landscape.
Encourage additional height elements where appropriate to
keynote a point of difference with the balance of the estate and
demark estate points of entry.
Ensure articulated facades which provide aesthetic appeal and
overlook to feature open spaces.
Provide for variations to setback requirements where necessary
to create prominent feature elements.
Provide some guidance to preferred land uses.
21Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS6ARCHITECTURAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES - URBAN AND
ARCHITECTURAL FORM
S6.1 Objective
To create a high quality, best practice, industrial estate with a strong
sense of place for users and visitors, by the use of distinctive, flexible
and environmentally responsible architecture and urban design.
This section expands on the architectural design intent and
reasoning behind the mandatory and best practice initiatives.
S6.2 Guiding Principles - Architectural Design
1. Blade Walls
The side perimeter walls can be extended into the setback zone if
required. This would be encouraged to provide strong street facing
facade definition, with the added benefits of providing support
for solar shading devices to shade street facades . They can also
provide good integrated signage opportunities.
2. Singular Building Mass
A uniform building volume and scale, equivalent to at least two
storeys, to contain all building functions would provide a strong
streetscape for the estate. It would articulate the ‘hit and miss’
pattern derived by the location of crossovers which effectively
determines the building locations on smaller Lots. It is a more
efficient use if land and would enhance the effectiveness of the
required micro-climate space which is placed between buildings,
thus creating a ‘micro-climate’ for staff, landscaping, openings, etc.
3. Microclimate Landscape Strip
A mandatory 3m wide landscape zone is to be created along the
side boundary for a minimum length of 21 metres from the front
boundary. Typically, adjoining lots mirror each other thus creating
a micro-climate zone 6m wide on the side boundary which is
preferably unfenced (see conditions, S10) and visually connected
to the streetscape. It is encouraged that this feature is carried
through to the whole length of the buildings thus creating a linear
courtyard with opportunities for cross-ventilation, natural light, etc.
A screen can be placed 21m from the front boundary to screen non-
landscape uses if this micro-climate zone does not extend to the
full length of the building. At 3m wide is allows openings in the side
building walls and greater flexibility for passive solar design and
improved amenity for occupants. See NPV benefits in S17.
4. Shared Access
The placement of buildings in a side by side ‘paired’ clustering,
creates opportunities for neighbouring buildings to share turning
circle and vehicle circulation zones to maximise efficiency.
Crossover locations are strategically placed to facilitate shared
access arrangements.
Standard legal pro-forma agreements for the sharing of access-
ways and microclimate zones with an adjoining land owner are
available from LandCorp.
5. Vehicle Parking
Parking areas for General Industrial lots are not permitted between
the building and the street (other than embayment parking bays).
22 Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS6 This creates positive, interactive streetscapes. Vehicle servicing
and parking is to be placed to the sides of the building, or to the rear.
Service Industrial lots have partial street edge parking, but not in
front of the primary building zone.
6. Flexible Design
The built form principles of the design guidelines are based on
simple, best practice architecture, which can be applied to any of
the permitted uses and be adaptable for future use. The desired
built form is for a simple, efficient, well executed and functional
building solution that is conceived with care and attention to detail,
materiality, scale and context.
7. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
Reduced building setbacks, side service areas open to the street
and predominantly glazed street facades all provide good visual
connectivity to the public zones and hence crime prevention
qualities.
CPTED Principles:
Maximise passive surveillance of street and public areas
Parking areas should be visible from adjacent properties.
Ensure building design limits the ability for unauthorized entries.
Design to ensure clear demarcation between the public and
private realm.
Ensure the design does not provide areas with minimal or no
surveillance.
8. Visual Amenity
This requirements permits individuality within the design
provisions. The underlining design principles are robust enough
to transcend interpretation by proponents. This estate aims to set
a new cultural standard in industrial building design and create a
shared aesthetic and strong sense of place. The design ideas are
simple enough to have longevity and create quality spaces for all to
appreciate.
S6.3 Best Practice Recommendations
Adaptable Buildings
Provide simple adaptable buildings that can easily be converted
or divided and therefore remain flexible for future use, without
diluting the simple expressive nature of the shared estate
aesthetic.
Paired developments facilitate sharing of car parking, turning
areas and cross-overs.
Provide minimum two-storey front façades and ideally a
singular built form mass to create a strong streetscape and a
good urban design.
23Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS7PARKING AND ACCESS
S7.1 Objective
To provide a high level of accessibility for businesses, employees
and visitors to the estate whilst maximising developable
land through the use of on-street parking and shared access
arrangements.
S7.2 Requirements
Provision of the required number of bays is based on the intended
use of the site, as specified by the City of Wanneroo District
Planning Scheme No.2 outlined in Appendix A9 (also refer to City of
Wanneroo direct).
S7.3 Efficient Parking and Access Arrangements
PARKING PLACEMENT
Public car parking for each site is to be located within the public
parking zone at the front of the property, refer M3 and M4.
On-street parking, where provided by LandCorp, can be
offset against City of Wanneroo parking requirements (i.e.
if a development requires 10 bays and 2 on-street carpark
embayment’s are provided, only 8 bays are required to be provided
within the property).
Where there are multiple tenancies, the offset shall apply across the
entire site and not for individual tenancies.
Staff parking may be located within the public parking zone or can
be located within the roadway, circulation and screened parking
zone as indicated in section M3.
Specific parking requirements contained in the City of Wanneroo
District Planning Scheme No.2 is outlined in Appendix A10.
SHARED ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS
The lot configuration within Meridian Park has been designed to
promote sharing of vehicle access and turning/movement areas to
minimise unnecessary hardstand area. This will have a desirable
effect on streetscape amenity through limiting the occurrences of
crossovers and increased road safety through minimising access
locations.
Crossover locations will be provided by LandCorp, refer to
Appendix A4, A5 and A6.
S7.4 Best Practice Recommendations
In order to create more efficient use of land, site layout should
facilitate the sharing of vehicle access and turning/movement
radiuses. Applicants are advised to liaise with the Estate Architect in
this regard (specifically relating to the placement of trees within car
parking and truck turning movements).
Adjoining lot owners are encouraged to liaise with each other to
facilitate shared parking and access arrangements that maximise
vehicle access-ways and turning radiuses.
A template for a Deed of Agreement for Reciprocal Access can
be provided on request from LandCorp. See also examples in
Appendix A5.
24 Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS8 LANDSCAPING AND PAVING
S8.1 Objective
Landscape plays an important role in creating a strong sense of
place, providing a high level of amenity and assisting in thermal and
solar efficiency.
These benefits must also be balanced against the need to minimise
potable water consumption. Through appropriate design, detailing
and species selection these objectives can be mutually achieved.
S8.2 Landscape and Paving
LandCorp will be provided street verge landscaping to establish a
uniformly high standard and sustainability measures within the
streetscape.
With the exception of street trees, the landscaping of verges will
occur after construction on each individual lot to avoid damage
during the construction phase.
Street trees will be provided at the time of road construction to
ensure uniform growth throughout each stage of the development.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that street trees
adjacent to their lot are protected during the construction phase.
S8.3 Best Practice Recommendations
1. Water Sensitive Landscape Design
Use dry planting and low water usage plants where possible and
group plants with similar water requirements (hydrozoning) for
most efficient water usage for all species.
Mulch all planted areas with 75mm thick mulch to help the water
retention properties of the soil.
Slope paved areas and driveways away from buildings and
towards planting areas minimising concentration of water flow.
Incorporate opportunities for the recycling of grey and black
water from the development to be used for irrigation purposes.
Where available, property owners should use topsoil and mulch
from stockpiles from the estate.
2. Micro-Climate Zone Design
Provide a shady break-out space for staff amenity.
Tree planting is encouraged to provide shade and direct and filter
winds towards openings in buildings to reduce heat loads during
summer and create a controlled environment.
Water tanks and bicycle racks may also be located in this space,
but not at the expense of the provision of amenity for staff.
Provide and reinforce natural surveillance and clear sightlines
through the design of the hard and soft landscape.
3. Solar Screen Planting
Planting of shade trees within the green zones, shown in section
M2 will help reduce heat loads to the building during summer whilst
allowing heat and light to penetrate the building during winter.
4. Hardstand and Paving Areas
The treatment of hardstand and paving areas will have significant
implications for the quality and quantity of stormwater generated by
a site, as well as having implications for microclimate and amenity.
Permeable surfaces should be maximised in order to reduce
stormwater runoff. Examples of permeable paving include
gravel, compacted graded gravel, TERRABOND porous paving and
segmental paving.

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS9SERVICE, STORAGE AND DISPLAY AREAS
S9.1 Objective
All aspects of a development that are visible from the street
or adjoining public areas, need to contribute positively to the
streetscape, urban design principles and estate aesthetics.
S9.2 Best Practice Recommendations
Screening should be used to conceal unsightly items and areas that
do not contribute to the streetscape.
Screens should be strategically placed to achieve this objective,
be of a similar quality to the building facades and integrated with
the buildings where possible.
26 Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS10 FENCING
S10.1 Objective
All aspects of a development that make up the visible elements
viewable from the street or adjoining public areas need to be given
the same level of design sensitivity and integration as the building
facades.
They must also contribute positively to the quality of the
streetscape and the shared aesthetic of the estate.
S10.2 Micro Climate Zone
It is preferred that the mandatory minimum area of micro climate
zone (3m x 21m) is unfenced and seen as a wrapping of the verge
around the street facade. If a fence is required, then it must be
constructed as per the diagrams on this page.
S10.3 Best Practice Recommendations
Fencing transparency should be sensitive to the needs of screening
from public view unsightly storage or service areas and at the same
time maintaining the objective of an open and active façade.
All fencing should be in keeping with the theme of the estate and
complement the proposed built form.
Minimal fencing is preferred to promote the urban design
principles of openness and intuitive way-finding.
Materials used for fencing should be of similar quality as the
building facades and be strategically placed to be integrated to
the buildings.
Building street facades should not be screened or fenced to
ensure a connection between the streetscape and public realm
is retained.

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS11SIGNAGE
S11.1 Signage
Signage should be sensitively located so as not to detract from
the facade or streetscape and not be excessive in scale or
quantity. Materials and lighting of the sign should compliment the
architecture.
Often it is found that the graphic effectiveness of a sign is in the
‘space around’ text and its placement.
A discrete sign on the edge of a substrate can be more effective
than a huge sign that dominates the backing material, be it a wall
or building facade.
Signage to the blade walls should be treated with care and not
distract from the facade expression.
Creative solutions are encouraged, for instance the use of ‘super-
graphics’ as suggestive signs (refer to reference project images)
used as effective background textures or images.
Materials within the buildings can be effective signage, for
example by facade material selections or corporate colours.
Signs could offer solar shading, or be part of the glazed facade
treatment.
Utilise durable and environmentally conscious materials and
technologies
28 Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS12 PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN
S12.1 Objective
To optimise passive solar gain and improve overall building
performance through energy efficient design and fitout.
S12.2 Guiding Principles
The orientation of buildings on the site should be planned to
promote natural lighting, ventilation and heating and cooling.
Passive Solar Design decreases the reliance upon mechanical
heating or cooling thereby reducing energy loads and operational
costs. These simple and logical design factors can significantly
reduce everyday running costs of buildings with little or no
additional building cost. Refer to Section M2
1. Natural Daylight
Natural daylight provides less heat gain than most types of artificial
light for equivalent lighting levels.
Skylights and Clerestory windows enable natural daylight to
permeate the building without loss of privacy or usable floorspace.
Skylights provide some of the best ways to admit daylight and
distribute it evenly thereby saving energy and improving visual
comfort levels.
2. Passive Solar Shading
Exposed west and east facing surfaces, openings and windows
should be minimised or adequately shaded. Shade structures
are highly visible items and must be of suitable quality and be
integrated into the facade and architecture. Awnings can be
oversailing roof canopies, light shelves, vertical and/or horizontal
louvres or screens.
Unshaded west and east facing high mass walls (e.g: concrete pre-
cast or tilt-up panels) should be externally clad to minimise heat
gain and insulated to isolate thermal mass internally and minimise
heat radiation to the interior.
Provision of well considered landscaping is necessary for valuable
shade throughout summer and to allow for the permeation of winter
sun (refer to Section M2 and M4 for more details on landscaping).
3. Cross Ventilation
Orientation and openings should maximise natural cross flow
ventilation. Some of the fundamental built form and urban design
principles of Meridian Park is to provide and encourage side
setbacks that allow good cross ventilation through external wall
openings appropriately placed on the building facades, in addition to
roller shutters.
4. Energy Efficient Lighting
The use of high efficacy lamps will have little impact on installation
costs in real terms yet can achieve a typical +10% energy saving on
installation when compared with lower efficacy light sources such
as metal halide and T8 fittings.
The largest energy savings can be made by the installation of
daylight/occupancy control systems which provide an average five
year payback through energy savings.

SUPPORT INFORMATIONS14 WATER MANAGEMENT
S14.1 Objective
To minimise the impact of Meridian Park on scarce water resources
through the implementation of a total water management approach
and water sensitive urban design principles.
S14.2 Rainwater Harvesting
The storage/tanks should ideally achieve a 65% target reduction in
potable water use if 90 kilolitres per gross hectare is plumbed into
toilets and landscape irrigation systems.
Capacity of the rainwater tanks is based on a ratio of 90 kL/Ha to be
adjusted for individual developments based on lot sizes. For a 2000
m2 lot, the tank size to achieve a 65% potable water reduction is
approximately 18 kilolitres. Smaller lots or strata lots could provide a
pro-rata amount of storage.
The capacity of the on-site rainwater tanks may need to be adjusted
to accommodate specific end user requirements and projected
employee numbers.
S14.3 Storage Tanks
Rainwater tanks can be located within the designated landscape
areas, or side setback micro-climate zone, integrated into the overall
building design, installed below ground or screened as required.
It is not necessary to screen the tanks from prime street views if
there has been adequate consideration into the design, placement
and finish of storage tanks.
Rainwater tank overflow is to be directed into designated landscape
areas.
S14.4 Best Practice Recommendations
All developments should aim to provide a minimum roof area
equivalent to 50% of the total lot area to harvest the required
rainwater for toilet flushing, cold water laundry (if required)
and irrigation purposes. Where there is insufficient roof area,
equivalent volumes of rain water will need to be harvested from
other surfaces with appropriate filtration and redirected to the
rainwater tank.
Rainwater tanks can be located in the micro-climate zone. There
are a number of storage solutions available that suit the linear
nature of the micro-climate zone whilst also allowing general
access. Water storage solutions can also have excellent thermal
sink properties that benefit the thermal performance of the
buildings through careful placement and selection of storage
types.

In developing the Meridian Park Industrial Estate (‘the Estate”),
LandCorp has demonstrated its commitment to quality sustainable
industrial land development through the application of the Meridian
Park Design Guidelines (“the Guidelines). The design and planning
of the Estate focuses on maximising the efficient use of land,
water, energy and resources. The Estate is a leading example of an
industrial precinct that maximises benefits to developers, tenants
and the community alike through high quality sustainable design.
Planning for the estate follows both national and international
trends in efficient and sustainable industrial building design and
land development. In developing these Guidelines, LandCorp
has continued to review and assess the cost effectiveness,
sustainability and implementation implications of the Guideline
provisions, to ensure both direct capital and operating savings and
benefits, as well as productivity and social amenity benefits within
the Estate.
LandCorp invited Worley Parsons, with input from other design
professionals, to undertake an evaluation of the key provisions
and requirements of the Guidelines in order to ascertain and detail
the cost effectiveness and benefits. The first phase of this was a
desktop review which found that the majority of the provisions
could be implemented at little or no additional cost when compared
with a standard industrial development. A second phase, based
on Worley Parsons’ EcoNomics™ Assessment, looked at the costs
and benefits of the various Guideline provisions in more detail.
Economics™ is a sophisticated way of assessing the financial,
social and environmental implications of the Guidelines across the
full life-cycle. The EcoNomics™ assessment has enabled LandCorp
to quantify the key provisions in the Guidelines in monetary terms,
and strike a practical balance between energy, water, and resource
efficiency, against the investment required by purchasers required
to achieve these outcomes.
The assessment evaluated the Guidelines in three key components
including Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency or Aesthetic and
Amenity value. The assessment included monetised values for
greenhouse gas emissions, tenant/occupant health, tenant/
occupant productivity, and aesthetic amenity.
The Meridian Park Guidelines were assessed against a “Business
as Usual” (BAU) or standard Industrial development. This entailed
the modelling of a Meridian Park building design and comparing
it against a typical BAU design. All results are presented as a
comparison to the BAU.
Based on the results of the Economics ™ assessment, LandCorp has
made significant changes to the original Meridian Park Guidelines,
and many of the previous Mandatory requirements are now Best
Practice. As the costs of water and energy increase in the coming
years, as many expect, many of the Best Practice provisions will
become more cost effective and move towards mandatory practice.
LandCorp will review the Guidelines on a periodic basis in response
to market conditions. A summary of the results of the Worley
Parsons study is contained in the following sections. A full copy
of the Worley Parsons report can be made available on request to
LandCorp.
35Design Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
SUPPORT INFORMATIONS17COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS - RESULTS
The Energy Efficiency analysis demonstrated that the following
provisions are financially, environmentally and socially economic,
compared with the BAU design within the first 5 years:
Shade trees
Hi level clerestory operable windows and vents
Ceiling void ventilation
High efficacy lamps
Solar Hot Water or heat pumps and
Smart Meters
This reflects research globally that indicates highly energy efficient
buildings can generate a 7 to 12 percent increase in net operating
income by reducing operating costs (Fox 2008). The relatively low
current cost of energy in Western Australia, however, resulted in
some requirements only becoming economic after 5 to 10 years.
Lighting management systems and PV/Wind turbine systems are
Best Practice recommendations that require 10 years for the energy
savings to overcome the capital costs.
As capital costs for renewable energy systems and carbon pollution
becomes costed the economics and payback for alternative energy
systems will improve.
The Water Efficiency analysis highlighted the relatively low capital
cost of the selected design requirements, coupled with a relatively
low benefit value due to the cost of water in Western Australia
currently $1.17/kL. The majority of the requirements assessed were
only economic, in comparison to the BAU, after a period of time..
All provisions are NPV negative for the first 5 years, with the
following provisions economic within 10 years.

COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS - RESULTS
The Aesthetic and Amenity Value analysis highlighted the benefit of
climate responsive orientation design and landscaping for building
occupants.
The combined requirement of (Design to setback 6m front
and 3m side and Microclimate zone to be created in 3m space
between buildings) was the most economic of the requirements.
The benefits associated with visual connection and access of
building staff to external landscapes, in particular the micro-climatic
zone, resulted in significant health and wellbeing benefits.
The following Best Practice requirements are also NPV positive and
economic:
Site layout to enable shared parking and access arrangements
and
Provide blade walls and minimum two storey front façade

SERVICE INDUSTRIAL LOTS

Service Industrial Lots
The lot and built form layout is indicative only. It is subject to
change and detailed design. Layout plan depicts proposed ultimate
configuration.
iiiDesign Requirements and Guidelines – December 2010
Access
Two independant 6m wide two waycrossovers can be constructed witha medium strip of 0.5m on each Lot, to create a 'pairing effect' of traffic nodes.This effectively locates the buildings onthe opposite side of the site, to thevehicle/ parking zone which is accessed directly from the crossover.
Shared crossover access is encouragedand arranged by agreement between neighbouring owners.
If a shared crossover is used, it is moreefficient land use even if the two way crossover is 11m wide for very large vehicles, shown dotted.
Blade Walls
External side walls expressed as blade walls set back 3m from street boundary.Side walls enclose office, showroom with industrial use to the rear into singular building mass, with minimum two storey street elevation. Width of building will be afactor of use function and external vehicleand servicing requirements including parking.
The external wall nearest the side boundary needs to be set back 3m for the first 21m fromthe prime (street) boundary. Beyond 21m it isencouraged but not mandatory. It is hoped that proponents will see the benefits and adopt themicro-climate zone for the length of the building.
Extended parapet walls at least 1.5m above roof level to create a common architecturalexpression of main walls as 'blade elements'.
Width of building influenced by on site parking, service area and internal building area requirements.
Possible building widths shown dotted highlightvariation, which would be a product of building use and vehicle requirements. Examples shownare based on: 13.7m for single aspect parking off access road19.6m for single aspect parking off internal road25.2m for double aspect parking off internal road
Building Envelope
Priority zone, for location of office, reception, showroom, public interface, staff areas, etc. Area can be shared with industrial uses from zone B.Mandatory side set back of 3m tocreate micro-climate zone. Width couldbe independant to zone B, but intentis to create a singular building mass.Street elevation must be glazed and as transparent as possible (with solar shading)to present an active edge to the street.
General industrial building use zone.Encouraged to have 3m side setback to continue micro-climate zone. Service access from the side or rear.
Rear area could be building area if required or service zone. If it is used for storage or hardstand it should be screened from the street.
Landscape
6m setback zone for landscaping. Note blade walls will project 3m into this area.
Mandatory 3m wide micro-climate landscape strip 15m deep and visible from the street. Could accommodate water tanks.
Continuation of 3m wide breakout area micro-climate zone, landscape strip. Can be used to locate stormwater holding tanks. If used for storage or isnot landscaped sufficiently, it needs to be appropriately screened from view.
Landscape strip could extend to rear.
Vehicles
Car parking, circulation, service yard and turning circle zone is predominantly to the side of the building for a numberof reasons; one being that there is an opportunity for neighbouring Lots to share the service yard area and therefore accommodate vehicles of larger turning circles. Parking should be closer to the street and service vehicles towards the rear.
Demonstration of how the area for vehicles can be varied to suit the building width and parking arrangement. Examples shownare based on: 13.7m for single aspect parking off access road19.6m for single aspect parking off internal road25.2m for double aspect parking off internal road
Flexible
The rear area and full width behind the vehicleservice area and parking zone could be an extention of the building envelope or ascreened hardstand or storage area.
Demonstration of how the building width canvary to provide more space but needs to betraded off with in site vehicle requirements.Minimum distance from side boundary 13.7m.
