Introduction

6 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

1. To support renewal and appropriate

industrial subdivision and development.

2. To encourage high quality design that

responds to local conditions.

3. To improve the visual appearance and

amenity of industrial land for workers,

visitors and the local community.

4. To encourage the protection and

enhancement of local biodiversity

values and ecological systems.

5. To encourage industrial land use and

development that contributes to a

30% tree canopy coverage across the

municipality.

6. To demonstrate how applicants may

meet the environmental design and

stormwater management objectives of

the Brimbank Planning Scheme.

7. To provide infrastructure that is

consummate with modern industrial

development.

8. To ensure places or objects of local

heritage significance and Aboriginal

cultural heritage are appropriately

considered and addressed within

Industrial Areas.

9. To provide a clear framework for

decision making.

The BIDG will apply to all planning permit

applications for the subdivision or development

of land within an Industrial Area as defined by

the BILS, with the exception of the Brooklyn

Industrial Area (see Figure 2). This includes

permit applications for buildings and works to

existing buildings.

The BIDG consist of general guidelines (Sections

A to D) applicable to all Industrial Areas (except

Brooklyn) and a separate section (Section E) for

precinct specific guidelines.

Most Industrial Areas have precinct specific

guidelines under the BIDG. However, specific

precinct guidelines have not been prepared for

the Orica and Calder Park Industrial Areas, as

the guidelines contained within Section E have

been drafted to respond to existing conditions,

whereas the Orica and Calder Park Industrial

Areas are largely undeveloped.

It is, therefore, recommended under the BILS

that prior to the development of these precincts

a Development Plan/Master Plan

be prepared and

approved by Council to provide further guidance

as to the appropriate and specific development

requirements of these precincts.

Land within the Brooklyn Industrial Area has been

excluded from the BIDG because it is already the

subject of precinct specific design guidelines that

were developed as part of the Brooklyn Evolution

2016 Strategy, which established a Structure Plan

and Urban Design Framework for this precinct.

These guidelines were implemented through

Planning Scheme Amendment C177 in 2016,

which introduced Schedule 11 to the Design and

Development Overlay (DDO11).

The objectives of these guidelines are:

The BIDG provide a framework to guide

and evaluate applications for subdivisions

and development. The BIDG ensure that

environmental, amenity and aesthetic matters

are addressed and integrated with the practical

requirements of industrial use and development.

They aim to assist planning permit applicants and

Council to design, assess and develop proposals

that maintain, and where possible improve,

the visual appearance, amenity, economic

performance and ecological functions of industrial

land.

Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines 7

The BILS identifies some precincts that are

currently zoned for industrial uses but may in

the future be considered for rezoning subject

to further strategic work. These are defined as

Transitional Areas or Employment Areas (see

Figure 2). It is acknowledged that these areas

may be subject to different strategic and design

considerations in the future due to other work

that may impact these locations (e.g. planning

for the Sunshine National Employment and

Innovation Cluster). However, in the absence

of Council adopted alternative place specific

guidelines and/or until such time as rezoning of

the land has occurred, Sections A to D of the

BIDG apply to planning permit applications for

the subdivision or development of land in these

areas.

Subject to relevant approvals and consultation,

the BIDG are intended to supersede any existing

industrial design guidelines or restriction (except

for the Brooklyn Evolution). This is to provide

a more up-to-date and consistent approach

to the use, development and management of

industrial land in the municipality. However, the

removal and replacement of these guidelines and

restrictions are often through planning and/or

legal processes and generally require consent of

relevant parties to that agreement.

In the interim, where there is a conflict between

an existing industrial design guideline, restrictive

covenant or Section 173 Agreement and the

BIDG, the existing guidelines/restriction will

prevail except where they are silent on an issue

that the BIDG address. Any proposed changes

to existing industrial design guidelines must be

consistent with the BIDG.

Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines 9

10 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

The Brimbank Planning Scheme contains

the overarching objectives and application

requirements to be met by planning permit

applicants, including for industrial use and

development.

The BIDG have been prepared to supplement

rather than conflict with any existing policy in

the Planning Scheme by providing practical

and instructive examples of how industrial

development can typically meet the requirements

of the Planning Scheme. However, adherence with

the BIDG may not satisfy all the requirements

of the Planning Scheme or other applicable

legislation (e.g. the Environment Protection

Act 2017 or Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006) and

applicants must also ensure all requirements

contained within the Brimbank Planning Scheme

and other relevant planning policy are met, not

just those captured in this document.

For example, the Brimbank Planning Scheme

includes a number of policies, requirements and

guidelines aimed at protecting the safety and

amenity of people based on the nature of specific

industrial uses. These policies, requirements

and guidelines are State based and may include

measures to reduce the risk of harm to the

public such as separation distances between

particular industrial uses and sensitive uses,

the use of physical barriers such as bund walls,

or other operational, building and site design

requirements. The BIDG do not attempt to

address such matters and should be considered

in conjunction with any applicable State

legislation, policy, requirement or guideline.

These guidelines are segmented into a number

of Parts (A – D), each dealing with a different

aspect of subdivision or development, while

Part E provides precinct specific variations. All

Parts relevant to a proposal (subdivision and/or

development) should be considered.

a minimum 40% of the height of the main

building in order to achieve an appropriate

proportion of office component activating

the street.

B3.

Useable landscaped outdoor staff areas

must be provided on lots greater than

2000sqm.

B4. The provision of bicycle facilities such as

secure bicycle racks, shower and change

rooms is encouraged on all sites.

provide feature treatments to ensure

buildings address both street frontages.

B6. Applications for the development of multiple

small-scale ‘factoryettes’ on a single site

should include an assessment of how

the proposal responds to the purpose

of the relevant SSIP, RSIP or LSIP, as

applicable, in accordance with metropolitan

strategic planning policy for industrial and

commercial land.

B7.

Gateway sites identified in Part E to these

guidelines should incorporate ‘landmark’

building design which may include elements

such as taller built form than surrounding

development, incorporation of artwork or

signature design features onto building

facades.

B8. Building design should seek to reduce visual

bulk by incorporating features like facade

delineation and colour variation, particularly

for large sections of facade.

B9. Large scale murals on side or rear building

facades that are visible from public spaces

are encouraged and should promote a

positive image that reflects the history or

identity of the place or community.

22 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

B10. Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)

must be incorporated into development.

ESD Objectives can be met through various

design aspects including:

● Shading of sun exposed office windows

●

Glazed areas / windows designed and

located to achieve adequate internal

daylight, thermal performance and glare

control

●

Translucent roof sheeting or skylights

to maximize the use of natural light,

balanced with overall heat gain from sun

exposure

●

Basic roof insulation for maximization

of thermal performance, particularly in

office areas. Green or brown roofs are

encouraged

●

High level sashes, and rotating roof

ventilators for natural ventilation

●

Roofs pitched within 15-30 degrees to

allow for optimal performance of solar

panels (even if their installation is not

part of the immediate proposal)

● Saw-tooth roofing to allow ample

daylight if faced south to avoid

overheating, as the glazing is protected

from the sun. Ventilation can be readily

provided on the vertical planes

●

Installation of dimmable or daylight

sensor LED lights to reduce unnecessary

use of electricity.

B11. Building heights should respond to the

scale of the built form in the area, including

existing industrial development.

B12. Where a greater height is needed, the

required height must be justified in relation

to the use and the façade must be well

articulated through additional building

elements such as highlight materials, colour

treatments or window glazing.

B13. Built form opposite residential uses should

step building heights from a maximum of

7m at the street frontage to a maximum

of 9m except where the applicant can

demonstrate the scale of the development

is consistent with the residential character

of the locality.

B14. Shadow diagrams should accompany any

site adjacent to a protected grassland

reserve, nature reserves, drainage reserves

and easements, public open space,

waterways, wetlands and areas of known

or recognised environmental significance or

other sensitive use.

24 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

B15. For the purposes of assessing the viability

of trafficable areas, plans must include:

●

Both sides of the road

●

Parking lanes on both sides of the road if

applicable

●

Swept paths for the largest vehicle

proposed to use the site where vehicles

are required to enter and exit the site

in a forward manner. Swept paths must

show access egress as well as internal

maneuvering. Some vehicle sizes may

require the path to be shown from the

nearest arterial road

●

Width of crossover and splays

●

Width of internal access ways

●

Dimensions of car parking spaces.

B16. Visitor car parking should be convenient

and proximate to the office entry, while also

minimising visual dominance from the street

through the use of landscaping.

B17.

All trafficable areas must but be sealed to

the satisfaction of Council.

B18. Vehicle crossovers, including splay widths

must be designed to suit the needs of the

site, in line with Council guidance.

B19. Layout should be designed so that loading

and servicing occurs at the side or rear.

B20. Avoid locating loading areas along

boundaries adjoining sensitive uses.

B21. Loading bays that are visible from the public

realm should be obscured with canopy tree

planting at the site frontage.

B22. All loading/unloading of vehicles must occur

on-site.

B23. Car park areas should allow for the roll-out

of electric vehicle (EV) charging. Provision

of commercial vehicle charging within

individual loading bays is more readily

resolved by individual tenants/owners.

However, for employee/visitor car parking,

providing appropriate electrical capacity

which is pre-cabled for future charging bays

is strongly encouraged.

B35. Fencing must allow clear views between the

street and the site.

B36. Barbed wire is prohibited.

B37. Permeable fencing adjacent to a grassland

reserve, area public open spaces or area of

environmental significance must be small

enough to catch litter.

B32. Fencing should be a maximum 1.8m in

height.

B33. Fencing should be constructed of Black

PVC coated chain mesh or black vertical

steel posts (not rounded tubular pool fence

style).

B34. Front gates on lots less than 600sqm

should be sliding rather than inward or

outward opening.

26 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

B38.

Business identification signage must be

incorporated into the building design and

shown in proposed plans for new buildings.

B39. Freestanding signage in the front setback

should be limited to directional signage.

B40. Internally illuminated and animated signage

is discouraged at interfaces with reserves

and open space.

B41. Signage attached to front and side

boundary fences is discouraged.

B42.

Decal signage fixed to areas of glazing (i.e.

windows and doors) is discouraged.

B43. Clear directional signage should be used to

identify visitor parking areas.

B44. Wherever possible heritage buildings

should be retained and restored, including

the reinstatement of altered and removed

heritage features.

B45. Works undertaken that detract from the

heritage significance of a place should be

removed.

B46. Alterations and additions should maintain

the building’s architectural integrity and

character and be sympathetic to the

heritage place in terms of scale, bulk and

setbacks.

B47. Alterations and additions should not

obscure, alter or remove original features

and details that contribute to the

significance of the heritage place.

B48. Alterations and additions should be

distinguishable from the original building.

B50. New buildings adjacent to heritage buildings

should have regard to the heritage

building’s statement of significance when

considering a design response.

B51. New buildings adjacent to heritage buildings

should respect the scale, form, siting and

setting of the heritage building.

B52. New buildings adjacent to heritage buildings

should employ a contemporary yet

contextual design approach.

B53. New buildings adjacent to heritage buildings

should not obscure views of the principle

façade/s or identified significant features

of surrounding heritage buildings from the

public realm.

B54. New buildings adjacent to heritage buildings

should use cladding, materials, colours

and finishes that complement the existing

heritage building/s.

B55. Remnant historic signage should be

retained where possible to assist in

interpreting the previous uses and history

of the place.

B56. Advertising signs should not obscure any

architectural features that contribute to the

significance of the heritage building.

B57. Advertising signs should not be internally

illuminated, except where located at a

distance from the heritage building.

B58. Advertising signs installed on industrial

buildings should be located flush to the

building parapet and not project from the

building façade.

PART C

Material & Colour

Palette

The form of industrial development is often

driven by functional requirements so the use

of appropriate materials and colour can make

a positive contribution to how well a building

sits within its immediate context. Material and

colour selection can make a building stand out

or blend in and can provide texture and interest

to a design. Materials and colours also have

an effect on the indoor comfort and quality of

a space as well as having a broader impact on

the environment through heat absorption or

reflection, embodied energy or ability to be

reused or recycled.

The objectives of Material and Colour palette are:

1. To create attractive buildings and visual

interest even where the intended use

dictates a solid form or large expanses

of blank façade.

2. To reduce the environmental impact of

materials used.

3. To ensure colour palettes used are

appropriate to the locality and sensitive

interfaces.

30 Brimbank City Council - Industrial Design Guidelines

C1. Light coloured roofs and paving should be

used to reflect as much heat as possible,

however, reflectivity and glare impacts must

also be considered.

C2. The cladding of any warehouse component

should allow adequate daylight to safely

illuminate the interior, except where it

can be demonstrated that the intended

use requires the interior to be devoid of

sunlight.

C3. Industrial development tends to use high

volumes of certain materials, particularly

concrete. The impact of materials can be

reduced in the following ways:

●

Concrete - Consider committing to

the incorporation of Supplementary

Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) and/or

use of recycled aggregate or water.

●

Timber – Consider committing to

sourcing all timber from sustainably

managed sources that hold third party

verification (e.g. FSC/PEFC ‘Responsible

Wood’).

●

Recycled content – Consider materials

that include recycled content such as

polyester insulation, recycled paving,

bricks or timber.

C4. Colours used should be appropriate to the

location, and building and landscape design.

Refer to Appendix 1.1 for examples of

suitable colour schemes.

C5. For sites adjacent to public open/green

space (reserves, grasslands, creeks),

materials should be utilised that reinforce

the landscape such as timber and textured

concrete.

C6. Side and rear walls visible from a residential

area or the railway line must be articulated,

textured and painted to address the

interface, and have graffiti proof paint

applied to 3m above ground level where

walls are accessible.

C7. All concrete wall panels on side or rear

facades must be painted or textured

including where visible from a vacant site.

C8. Use of bright, bold colours in large portions

or that are not compatible with the

muted tones of the natural landscape are

discouraged.

C9. Applications must provide labeled colour

elevations or a colour and materials palette

that clearly demonstrates the nature of the

proposal.

C10.

External finishes should be of low

reflectivity to minimize glare and reflection

to surrounding areas.

Note: Further information on the suitability,

design, construction and maintenance of

WSUD assets is available on the Melbourne

Water website.
