All well planned developments must have covenants to protect a person’s investment and increase values combined with creating a harmonious and friendly environment in which to live. The covenants introduced at Harrington Waters have been kept to a minimum and are fair and equitable. A few of the more pertinent covenants are:

• Fences are not permitted along the front boundary of any lot and are not permitted to extend from the front building to the street frontage.
• All buildings must have a minimum internal area, including garage, as follows:
  1. Waterfront 250m²
  2. Golf Course 200m²
  3. Dry lots 180m²
• All buildings must be used as a private dwelling only. However, part of the building may be used by professional persons in the practice of their business.
• Garages must be constructed in the same material as the main building.
• The external walls of the building must be predominantly brick, stone, concrete or glass. Timber, aluminium or fibrous cement must not be more than 25% of the total area.
• Flat roofs and skillion type roofs are not permitted.
• Clothes lines must be hidden from the street and all public areas.
• The front boundary must be fully landscaped.
• The minimum ‘set back’ from the front boundary is 5 metres.
