Concept plan
Setting Out · Phase 05 — Concept design
Upload the concept plan
The PDF, or a straight-on photograph of the tracing paper — whole sheet in frame, with the title block, north point and scale bar readable.
Where the drawing lives, and what you drew it with
File name and folder, or "A3 tracing paper over the printed base plan". Name the route — tracing paper, graph paper, Inkscape, QCAD, QGIS.
Scale and sheet size
As it appears on the sheet — "1:100 at A3". Work out that your block fits before you print, and print at 100 per cent.
What the title block says
Address, drawing title, north point (true north, not up the page), date, revision letter, and CONCEPT ONLY — NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION.
Every zone, resolved into a real shape
One row per zone from your zoning diagram. "Dining" becomes a 4.2 × 3.6 m paved rectangle, or it does not exist.
| Zone | Shape and size (m) | Surface, structure or planting mass |
|---|---|---|
Level changes shown, with top and bottom levels
Every step, wall, ramp and mounded bed, marked against your datum. A 900 mm drop drawn as one thin line is how it gets built without a barrier.
Circulation routes and their widths
In millimetres. About 1200 for a main path two abreast, 900 for a comfortable single path, 600 for service access only.
How the plan answers the brief
Take the brief point by point and say where each one landed on the sheet — and name anything you have quietly dropped.
How it respects the constraints plan
Soakwell lids, inspection openings, easements, Water Corporation clearances, KEEP trees, R-Codes minimums. Nothing drawn over any of them.
