Proposed Development

The development application is for 36 multiple dwelling units across four two-storey buildings. The land use is being considered an ‘A’ use pending approval of an upcoming scheme amendment to re-zone the land.

The application proposes a design principle assessment against the following provisions of the Residential Design Codes (Part C):

• 1.2  Trees and Landscaping -  The proposal is required to provide 13 medium trees to achieve the deemed-to-comply principle. Although the application proposes 5 medium trees, the application also provides 48 extra small trees to compensate for this shortfall.
• 2.1  Size and Layout of Dwellings - Major openings to ground floor multiple dwellings facing directly onto car parking areas and/or non-residential components of a mixed use development should be setback 3m to achieve the deemed-to-comply principle. Minor variations to the deemed-to-comply principle are proposed from building 2 (2.8m), building 3 (2.4m) and building 4 (2m).
• 2.3  Parking –  The application proposes a deemed-to-comply shortfall of shortfall of 3 visitor bays and 1 motorcycle bay across the development. 
• 3.4  Lot Boundary Setbacks -  Buildings 1 and 2 require a 3m rear setback to achieve the deemed-to-comply principle. Building 1 proposes a setback of 2m at the point nearest to the boundary and building 2 proposes a 1.75m setback at the point nearest to the boundary.
• 3.5  Site Works and Retaining Walls – Western retaining wall exceeds 1m in height and therefore requires a 1.5m setback to achieve the deemed-to-comply principle.
• 3.5  Site Works and Retaining Walls – Earthworks in front setback area of buildings 1 (approx. 1m) and 3 (approx. 1m) exceed the 0.5m required to achieve the deemed-to-comply principle.
• 3.6  Streetscape – Some ground floor units fronting the street are not provided with a separate pedestrian access from the street.
• 3.10  Visual Privacy – refer to drawing SK0.31 for cone of vision extension outside of property boundaries.
