New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsBuildings are to have a visual bulk and an architectural scale consistent with
structures on adjoining or nearby land and are not to visually dominate the
street or surrounding spaces, unless the applicable Locality Statement
provides otherwise.
In particular:
• side and rear setbacks are to be progressively increased as wall height increases,
• large areas of continuous wall planes are to be avoided by varying building setbacks and using appropriate techniques to provide visual relief, and
• appropriate landscape plantings are to be provided to reduce the visual bulk of new buildings and works.
