Roundhouse Design Guidelines - Victoria

Landscape
Character:
The landscape of the Historic Precinct should evoke feelings of
an operating rail yard.
The use of trees should be limited to the perimeter of the site
where they form part of the streetscape rather than part of the
precinct.
A naturalized landscape, utilizing the indigenous trees and
plantings of the Victoria area, as can be seen on various parts
of the existing site, is the appropriate approach in the railway
precinct.
Railway
Interpretation: A comprehensive interpretation concept and design has been
prepared for the Historic Railway Precinct and is found under
separate cover in the report entitled “Roundhouse Celebrating
Our Heritage, Interpretive Approach for the Roundhouse
Railway Heritage Site and Residential Community”, May 2008.
Specific guidelines for interpretive elements are contained in a
separate section of this design guidelines document and will be
applied to this DA.
