Schedule 8Design quality principles in schools—Chapter 3
1 Responsive to context
Schools should be designed to respond to and enhance the positive qualities of their surroundings.
In designing built forms and landscapes, consideration should be given to a Country-centred approach and respond to site conditions such as orientation, topography, natural systems, Aboriginal and European cultural heritage and the impacts of climate change.
Landscapes should be integrated into the overall design to improve amenity and to help mitigate negative impacts on the streetscape and neighbouring sites.
