I don't think caveats is the right word... easement maybe?
Any way, it was a condition governing what you can and can't do on the lot.

That requires a bit more timber for rafters and struts. But its is a very marginal cost difference. If you went above 25 degrees then you have to include worksafe requirements, so you can expect a much larger jump in costs Re: Roof pitch clause 27Nov 06, 2012 6:17 pm Disco Stu I too have signed up with The Homebuyers Centre and ran into the 25° roof pitch issue. The original house design ( Aussie Alfresco ) was altered for rear access. Land caveats on the Butler lot then required a 25° pitch, costing $1600. The original 21° pitch was saved simply by running eaves across the entire front of the house. In fact, I used most of the $1600 credit to finish off eaves to the entire house. I really wanted a lower profile roof, especially on a coastal, wind prone lot. What an odd little clause! Not really an odd clause, in fact it is quite common. Covenants like this are to prevent a sea of awful looking low pitch cheap housing. Sadly it doesnt work. 90% of housing in Perth is still cheap and nasty looking. Now if you want a bold set of guidelines look at Perry Lakes. No pitched roof are allowed. No horrible 2c facebrick allowed.
