More specifically the principles and guidelines relating to heritage conservation at the Deanside Homestead Complex are: Principle 1 Conserve and protect the fabric of the features (buildings, structures, trees, dry stone walls, and driveway) that contribute to the significance of the place. Guidelines Select appropriate entrance locations to the site and destinations to steer users to more robust areas and away from more sensitive areas. Identify shared path locations along the Kororoit Creek corridor, urban interfaces and areas that will have minimal impact but will arouse interest to users, identifying items of interest along the way. Locate places for recreation and low-impact infrastructure to maintain positive connections between heritage place and residential development. Consider the need for signs (directional and interpretive) and how they should be designed and placed. Retain and promote areas of vegetation to maintain an open space quality to enable retention/conservation of the historic plantings, dry stone walls and archaeological features. Principle 2 Heritage site to be visible from public spaces and local streets. Guidelines Provide an appropriate area of open space between the Deanside Homestead Complex and the former mansion site in order to maintain a physical and visual connection. Maintain a sense of open space around the heritage site by providing an open space buffer that is sensitively landscaped to promote a historical landscape setting through consideration of view lines within site and edge plantings. Principle 3 Nearby development (including medium density housing as relevant) to contribute to the protection of local features and social values of the heritage conservation area. Guidelines Maintain historic vegetation and enhance aesthetic character by incorporating similar species types in surrounding parks, creek lines, school, nature strips and in private gardens but are considerate of the Growling Grass Frog Conservation Area. Ensure development in heritage interface areas does not visually dominate as a result of its scale, form or siting. Encourage sympathetic and high quality development that does not diminish or detract from the heritage visual setting and streetscape character. place’s significance, Promote an interpretative design approach for surrounding new development that is complementary in form, scale detailing and materials to the significant heritage features but is clearly contemporary in design. Avoid new development that distorts the historic evidence by simply copying or reproducing historic styles or detailing. Ensure that the front elevation of new houses and other development directly faces the street.
