What is Providence?
Amex Corporation was established in 1987 as a property

development company specialising in residential land
subdivision, operating initially in Perth and then expanding
into Brisbane (1988) and Melbourne (1993).
The company is a family based privately owned organisation
with family members actively involved in the executive
management of the business.
It is Amexs strategy to make long term investments in future
residential land and the community that is created from it.
World class planning and a collaborative approach to the
statutory approval process are key elements to this strategy.
Amex Corporation has set

a vision to create a master
planned community within
the heart of Ripley Valley on
the urban outskirts of Brisbane
- A progressive, vibrant and
modern new town, that brings
back true neighbourhood living.
2
Project Vision
Providence offers a breath

of fresh air: A new address
that melds the values of
the past with benefits and
opportunities of the future.
4
A progressive, vibrant and

modern new town, that brings
back true neighbourhood
living.
A unique and special place

built around people and the
basic human need to connect
with others. To be inspired.
To bring out their creative
side in ways they may have
never thought possible.
A town with a focus on the

future, that is in tune with
the desires of its community,
that evolves and adds new
layers, always centred around
people, to create the most
desirable new address choice
in Brisbanes western fringe.
A place that harnesses

peoples passion.
That gives rather than takes.
A substantial and prosperous
new address that provides
all the opportunities of
live, learn, work, play and
stay, but never loses its
soul, being its community
heart created around true
neighbourhood values.

street number.
Your builder must submit all documents via the DRC email
address - providencedesignapproval@amexcorp.com.au.
To ensure the design review and approval process can be
finalised as soon as possible please include in the submission
a completed Minimum Documents Checklist for DRC - this
can be found in appendix E or requested digitally via the
email above.
Plan of Development
Appendix D comprises the Plan of Development. This
plan contains the minimum design controls to be met in
accordance with the relevant Approval Authority at State
and Local Government. The Home Design Guidelines are
aligned with the Plan of Development controls, however
they also provide additional controls so that the preferred
neighbourhood outcomes are achieved as part of the design
vision for Providence. The Design Review Committee may
approve design outcomes that are different to the Home
Design Guidelines subject to demonstration of similar
outcomes. The DRC cannot approve different solutions to
those contained in the Plan of Development.
6
Design Vision
The intent of these guidelines is to foster a modern
contemporary town feel. They comprise guidelines to assist
in the promotion of a consistent and high standard of house
and garden design.
Contemporary modern homes will be achieved through
consistent setback controls, complementary colours and
material selection and gardens that enhance the streetscape
and the neighbourhood of your home.
Site Planning
Climate and Building
Orientation
A home that is well positioned on its site delivers significant
lifestyle and environmental benefits. Correct orientation
assists passive heating and cooling, resulting in improved
comfort and decreased energy bills.
Natural Gas
When designing your home and planning for your homesite,
it is important to consider service and energy connections.
Providence will provide natural gas as an alternative energy
source to electricity that assists in reducing your carbon
footprint and making your home and neighbourhood a cleaner
place to live.
Natural gas is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels.
In Providence, natural gas is the preferred energy source
for cooking and hot water. Choosing natural gas is a sure
way to reduce your carbon footprint.

Homes to have provision for the NBN Co to be connected
immediately or by subsequent home owners, by providing the
conduiting and power point as detailed in Appendix C Key
information for builders and cablers.
Site cover and amenity

Site cover for each lot is varies and is shown on the setback
table. For specific site cover details relevant to your lot type
please refer to the Plan of Development.
Dwellings must have a minimum area of private open space
at ground or upper levels accessible from a living room
consisting of at least:
- for a two bedroom dwelling, 9.0m2 with a minimum width
of 2.4m.
- for a three or more bedroom dwelling, 12.0m2 with
a minimum width of 2.4m.
Setbacks and height

The maximum height of buildings shall be in the order
of 9 metres.
Setbacks are specified as contained in the Setback Table.
The location of the built to boundary walls are indicated on
the Plan of Development included in your Sales Package.
Where built to boundary walls are not adopted or shown
on the Plan of Development, side setbacks shall be in
accordance with the Setback Table.
Built to boundary walls on the low side of the lot must be
founded deep enough to allow an adjoining lot to be cut to
an appropriate depth.
Boundary setbacks are measured to the wall of the building
or edge of balcony, except for street frontage where it is
measured to outermost projection.

Private Open Space

When private open space is designed and located thoughtfully
in site planning for the home, it will dramatically enhance the
lifestyle needs of the residents. Private open space should be
located to have strong relationships with the internal living
areas of the dwelling to maximise entertaining, relaxation and
recreation living areas. It is also important for private open
space to be functional for day to day needs.
Private open space should be located, where possible
to maximise Northern & North-Eastern exposure of the
allotment. Ensure privacy of the occupants and consider
overshadowing impacts on adjacent buildings and
open space.
Private open space should have a clear relationship to the
internal living area of the dwelling.
The design of your home should focus on quality of the
space in terms of orientation, size, shape and landscape
treatment.
Indoor/outdoor living
Refer also to section on site cover and amenity.
Privacy created through fencing and vegetation
13
Building Design
It is envisaged that the presentation of the
dwellings at Providence will reflect the modern
vibrancy of the Town. The following guidelines
aim to ensure your investment by maintaining
the overall quality of the neighbourhood
through building design and an appreciation
of the local environment and lifestyle.
Garages and Driveways

The design of your home must provide accommodation for
your vehicles on-site with minimal visual obtrusiveness and
adequate provision for vehicle manoeuvring. The location
and treatment of garages and garage doors is to contribute
positively to the streetscape and be in accordance with the
following requirements:
Garages are to be constructed simultaneously with the dwelling
and be compatible with the main building in teams of height, walls,
windows, roof forms, colours and materials.
Additional car parking spaces may be provided in tandem
within the property boundary. No carports are permitted.
Other than where accessed from a laneway, the maximum
width of a driveway at the lot boundary shall be 4.8m where
serving a double garage and 3.0m where serving a single garage.
There is a maximum of one driveway per dwelling, unless it
is a corner lot.
14
Roofs
Roof design should be representative of the contemporary
Town feel, whilst showing respect for local environmental
values. Roof designs that are a simple composition of shapes
will aid in reducing their visual prominence. The use of
verandahs, balconies and other architectural elements are
encouraged to create interest in the roof design. A break in
length shall be provided for fascias longer than 15m, where
fronting a street.
Roof materials shall consist of either colorbond or
a flat profile roof tile.
Roofs should conform to the following types:
Pitched roofs at a minimum of 22.5 (hip or gable);
Skillion roofs; and
Flat parapeted roofs.
Verandahs Balconies
and Porches
The inclusion of verandahs, balconies and porches in the
design of your home will contribute to your enjoyment, safety
and comfort. Where verandahs, balconies or porches are
included they should complement the dwelling style, materials
and colours and should not dominate or be out of scale with
the front elevation of the dwelling.
Front verandahs, or porches should be designed so as
to identify and emphasise the entrance to the dwelling.
15
Building Articulation
and Treatment
External colours used in the design of your home should be
an expression of natural finishes that will complement the
colours of the surrounding natural environment. External
materials should be of a harmonious design, selected to
enhance features of the dwelling and be respectful of the
character of nearby dwellings. The building should conform
to the following:
Front facade materials and colours
Minimum of 2 complementary materials and colours to
facade facing street and no more than 4 different materials
and colours.
A limit of 80% total wall coverage (excluding windows/
openings) applies to the use of any one material or colour.
Face Brickwork may be used as a feature to the front facade
to a maximum of 50% of total wall coverage (excluding
windows/openings).
Note: Samples of external colours (roof and walls) must be submitted

and approved as part of the approval process. Feature colours will be
considered on application.
16
Building Articulation
Primary Frontage Treatment - Street Address
Each street or park frontage must be addressed with
inclusion of three or more of the following design
elements in the related facade:

- balconies, porches or verandahs;

- awning and shade structures;
- variation to roof and building lines;
- inclusion of window openings; and
- use of varying building materials.
Secondary Frontage Treatment

All buildings with a facade of more than 10.0m that are
visible from a street or park are articulated to reduce the
mass of the building by two or more of the following:

- windows recessed into the facade;

- balconies, porches or verandahs;
- window hoods; and
- shadow lines are created on the building through
minor c hanges in the facade (100mm minimum).
- use of varying building materials.
17
Landscaping
The landscape in any home is an important
part of the lifestyle of the owners and character
of the lot. Landscapes also form an important
part of the streetscape, neighbourhood and
its links to the community and character of
the local area. It provides basic needs such
as shading, colour, texture and privacy.
It also helps to soften the hard elements
of the buildings in the neighbourhood and
provide us with a link to nature that is
too often lost in urban areas.
18
The design of your landscape should look

to utilise plants, materials and finishes that
complement your lifestyle and your house. It
is also a great opportunity to contribute to the
appearance and quality of your neighbourhood.
Planting Design
Select plants should be suited to the local climate and rainfall.
Native species that have evolved in your region are best
adapted to cope with local conditions. As the Ripley Valley
area is in Sub-Tropical South East Queensland, there are a
number of local native species as well as appropriate exotic
plants that grow well in the local soil types.
Some of the benefits of native plant species are:
Encourage local/ native fauna and insect species;
Often require less watering to thrive;
Require less fertiliser and additives to thrive;
Wide range of forms, flowers and colours available.
Front Yard Landscapes

The design and presentation of your front yard can not only
improve the presentation and value of your home but can
help to improve the quality and appearance of the street in
which you live. A well designed and maintained front yard
helps to promote community pride and create awareness of
the importance of the landscape in peoples homes and lives.
When designing your front yard the following should be considered
in maximising presentation, access and amenity aspects:
Design planting and paths to address the different levels
of access into your home;
Place trees to provide shade and screening to rooms at the
front of the house;
Ensure planting selection and garden bed location offer
clear views and surveillance opportunities to the street;
Look to maximise colour and texture opportunities to
highlight the architectural form and features of your home.
19
Retaining Walls
Retaining can walls can help to enhance your house in the
following ways:
Maximise usable areas in your garden especially where there
is a change of level between your house and the footpath
Complement your home and garden areas through the
selection of complementary wall materials, colours and
locations.
Some of the materials for retaining walls are:
Split Face Masonry
Rendered and painted smooth face masonry
Landscape key stone walls
A Grade sandstone blocks
The following materials will not be permitted in front
yard landscapes:
Timber sleeper (treated or untreated);
Concrete sleeper walls
20
Front Fencing
Front fencing generally is not permitted except for special
circumstances such as:
Privacy around outdoor living spaces when located in the
front yard (or side yard in the case of corner lots); and
Privacy and safety around swimming pools when located
in the front yard or side yard in the case of corner lots.
In such cases, fencing in the front yard shall be limited to:
50% transparent or not to exceed 1.2 metres in height
A maximum of 60% of the front boundary length; and
S
etback 1.5m from the front property boundary to allow
for landscaping and screen planting, for at least 50% of
the fences length, except where adequate perforation is
provided to minimise the visual impact on the street.
Side and rear boundary

privacy fencing
Side and rear boundary fencing should consider the need
for privacy, security and amenity. Materials and colours
should complement your home and garden areas.
21
Side fencing on corner lots

To create a neighbourhood streetscape it is important for
side fencing on corner lots to not only provide a dwelling
with privacy but also to present well to a public street.
The adjacent plan is an example of locations where side
fencing is required to provide fence types in accordance with
Types A and B as shown in the diagrams. These fence types
will be required on similar lots throughout the Providence
Community.
If visible from a street or park, the tops of fences on sloping
lots must be horizontal and not follow the line of slope.
Steps in the fence will be required in gradual increments.

Driveways
The driveway can often dominate the frontage of the home
and detract from the streetscape appeal. Only one driveway
is permitted for each allotment and it is the intention to soften
the visual impact of the driveway by designing it to address
the following:
N
ot greater than 3.0m for a single garage and no greater
than 4.8m wide for a double garage at the street boundary;
Extend from the kerb edge to the garage/carport;
A
llow for at least 1.0m of screen planting between driveway
and side boundaries (where possible);
R
equire minimal earth works and disturbance to existing
surface features by crossing slope and have a maximum
gradient to comply with the relevant Australian Standard;
Be completed prior to the occupancy of the home; and
E
nsure that finished surface level of the driveway is
consistent with any existing footpaths that it may cross.
Driveway surface materials and colours are to complement
the dwelling and landscape and may include:
Concrete or clay pavers laid over reinforced concrete base;
Exposed aggregate; or
Coloured concrete.
The use of other products or materials must be approved.
Under coated grey, broom-finished concrete and stamped
driveways are NOT acceptable. Car track driveways are
NOT acceptable.
24
Letter Boxes
Letter boxes must be clearly visible and identifiable from
the street or lane as relevant and are to be designed and
constructed to be consistent in material and colours with
the dwelling.
It is preferred that letter boxes are constructed of brick or
similar material and incorporated into the landscaping.
Letter boxes on poles are NOT acceptable.
25
Ancillary Structures
Garbage Bin Storage,
Plant and Equipment
Garbage bins, plant and equipment (eg. air conditioner
condensers), must not be visible from a street or park.
Appropriate site design or screening measures with fences
or enclosures that complement the material and colours of
the house, should be adopted.
26
Environmentally Sustainable Design
Cost efficient homes, smart homes, sustainable homes are all terms used to describe homes
that are designed to save money, increase the value of your investment, feel safer, move around
more easily and help the environment. When designing a home, it is important that it is
environmentally sustainable and responds to the needs of your family as it grows with reduced
maintenance and running costs over time. Principles worth considering and discussing with
your builder are comprised below.
1. Glazing and Frames Materials

a. C
onsider passive solar design - window placement, size and shading
b. Controlling heat flow through glazing and window frame material
c. Use WERS to determine glazing requirements
2. Insulation for ceilings and walls

a. Combine insulation with design for climate considerations
b. Consider insulation type and material to suit local climatic conditions and external
wall exposure
3. I ndoor Air Quality relating to materials and finishes and ventilation

a. C
onsider the types of paints, glues, plastics, and some manufactured wood products
These can release chemical substances at room temperature, called VOCs
(Volatile Organic Compounds). Consider toxicity, quantity and proximity of materials
b. Ensure cross-ventilation through passive solar design techniques and ceiling fans
as well as mechanical ventilation in bathrooms
27
4.
Hot Water Systems
7.
Promote resource efficiency
a. Review types of hot water systems to meet your expected usage, operating cost and
available energy sources from solar, gas or electricity
5.
Lighting and Energy Consumption
a. When considering your bench tops, splashbacks, doors, shelves and cabinetry, and
floors, use products such as natural stone, reconstituted stone, natural timber,
recycled wood products and some glued-wood products such as composite products,
finger-jointed timber, laminated timber, fibreboard, hardboard and plywood
a. Consider the range of energy available from solar, gas and electrical
8.
Universal Design
b. Maximise daylight where most required
a. Consider the longevity of your home which spans age, gender and ability
c. Install multiple switches to control lighting
b. Provide easy access to your home from your street and your garage
d. Use compact florescent lights and LED lighting as the most efficient and cost-saving
lighting over longer periods, despite the initial up front cost
c. Have a room on the ground floor that could be adapted as an additional bathroom
and bedroom
e. Spend time with your builder designing the location of lighting and switches to make
your home safe and efficient
6.
Water Usage and Harvesting
d. Incorporate doors and corridors that allow for easy access and movement consider
corridor width
e. Consider kitchens that are safe for all people to use
a. Conserving water saves you money. Install water efficient taps, shower heads, toilets
and appliances. Use drought resistant plants and groundcovers where grass is not
needed. Wash cars, caravan and boats on the grass where possible
f. Consider handles and tapware within easy reach by all people
9.
Construction types
a. Heavyweight and lightweight materials used in construction differ in mass content.

Heavyweight construction systems are usually masonry and include brick, concrete,
concrete block, tiles, rammed earth, mud brick, etc. Lightweight construction uses
timber or light gauge steel framing as the structural support system for non-structural
cladding and linings (eg. fibre cement, plywood and colorbond steel)
b. Consider construction types and a combination of both according to such things

as site conditions (such as slope), optimising climatic outcomes, and external or
internal usage
b. Whilst rainwater tanks are not mandatory, it makes sense to use free water from the
sky for external use, rather than pay for it

10. Passive Heating and Cooling
Natural Ventilation
Summer
The following principles should be applied:
Objective: Design to reduce heat gain to internal and external areas
use open planning to enhance cross ventilation;
Solar Access & Shading
locate openings in buildings and courtyards between buildings to catch the prevailing
breezes (north east or south east); and
use vegetation plantings to channel cooling breezes into buildings.
design to provide shading to all walls, openings, outdoor living areas and hardstand
Winter
paving to minimise heat absorption and reflection through:

wide eaves designed to shade summer sun;
design shading devices to suit the orientation (east and west require different
shading to north); screening structures; and screening vegetation such as vines on
trellises to shade walls.
Objective: Design to enable heat gain to internal and external areas
design glazing size and location to minimise heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
15% glazing ratio (window to floor area ratio). Too much glass leads to overheating;
Design of shading to enable solar access to internal and external living areas
particularly in the morning and afternoon through;
provide fewer windows on the east and west elevations; and
- Eaves designed to allow winter sun
where applicable consider glazing tint to allow light and minimise heat transfer.
- Window shading designed to allow winter sun
Insulation
- Deciduous vegetation (trees and vines on trellises)
Thermal Mass
external lightweight skin insulates the mass in walls from solar gain allowing it to act as
a heat sink during the day to maintain interior cool;
Provide thermal mass in walls and floors (interior and exterior) and expose to radiant
heat (sun). The mass in walls and floors is used to store and release heat energy to
stabilise internal temperatures.
provide insulation to roofs and walls to prevent heat gain from the exterior in summer; and
reduce heat gain issues of colours selected for faade and roof.
Thermal Mass
provide shading to internal thermal mass in walls and floors for cooling effect of heat sink in
summer; and
thermal mass may require access to night ventilation for purging of any heat gained during
the day to avoid excess internal heat gain.
Solar Access
The following principle should be applied:
Natural Ventilation
Locate buildings and vegetation plantings to screen outdoor areas from winter westerly winds.
Insulation
provide insulation to walls and roofs to prevent heat loss from the exterior in winter; and
provide curtains to windows / doors to retain heat during night.

Individual lot Guidelines

The highlighted lots in the adjacent Key Plan are key sites and must consider the
individual lot guidelines contained within this document to ensure a quality outcome.
Appendix B is divided into two sections - Housing Guidelines and Landscaping
Guidelines.
These guidelines are to be read in conjunction with the Plan of Development and
the Home Design Guidelines. This document provides guidelines to homes that
are visually prominent. They are aimed at achieving a quality housing and landscape
outcome that will protect your investment in the neighbourhood.
All individual home designs and landscaping treatments will be reviewed by the
Design Review Committee. It is understood that particular building and on-site
conditions may vary which will require different design solutions that may not be
contained in this document. Therefore alternative treatments may be considered,
provided they demonstrate similar outcomes to the design guidelines.
Building Commencement:
To ensure neighbourhoods are completed in a timely manner, building is to
commence within 12 months of purchase of your home allotment.
Plan of Development
Appendix D comprises the Plan of Development. This plan contains the minimum
design controls to be met in accordance with the relevant Approval Authority at
State and Local Government. The Home Design Guidelines are aligned with the
Plan of Development controls, however they also provide additional controls so that
the preferred neighbourhood outcomes are achieved as part of the design vision
for Providence. The Design Review Committee may approve design outcomes that
are different to the Home Design Guidelines subject to demonstration of similar
outcomes. The DRC cannot approve different solutions to those contained in the
Plan of Development.

The following information will be required when submitting a request:
To request a Pre-Installation of the NBN Equipment, visit: www.nbnco.com.au/preinstallrequest
Pre-installation of the NBN in-home equipment should be arranged to take place at least 20 days ahead of the estimated
home completion date.
To enable a smooth and efficient connection to the National Broadband Network, builders/developers may request
a pre-installation of the in-home equipment supporting NBN access on behalf of all owners/occupiers of the premises.
Requesting equipment pre-installation
Its important to remember that if customers want to utilise applications like IPTV via Smart TVs in their living room
and telework via HD video conferencing in their office they should consider fixed cabling in the home to connect
these devices.
Both fixed line internet and telephone services will be delivered over the NBN. The NBN Co equipment should be located
in a safe location, where it is convenient to connect telephone as well as computers and internet TV.
Its important that builders and cablers talk to new homeowners about the telecommunications services they may want
to access in their homes and provide guidance on where NBN equipment, phone and data outlets should be located.
* Builders should always provision space and

environment for PS/B. It may be pre-installed or
requested by the end user during the life of the building.
* For indoor installation only, NBN equipment is not

installed in prohibited location, such as bathroom, laundry
etc. as per NBN-NO-GDE-0011 Guides.

The guidelines will need to be read carefully - for example - Garages and Driveways states that for a double garage the maximum width
shall be 4.8m or 3.0m for a single. We would expect that dimensions such as this will be clearly marked. Applying this approach to all
elements of the guidelines will make for an efficient approval process.
