Minor Change Report - MCU26 0012 01 & OPW26 0034 01 (As Published) · MCU26/0012.01
The proposed changes include retention and repurposing of the existing Dwelling house as a
private gym, relocation of the stables, amendments to the dwelling orientation and driveway
alignment, revised building materials and finishes and updated earthworks and engineering plans.
The retention of the existing Dwelling increases GFA of the site from 1,117m² to approx. 1,255m²
or a net increase of 138m².
Council requested further information regarding the proposed conversion of the existing Dwelling
house to a private gym noting concerns that potentially the building could be reused as a second
self-contained dwelling.
On 2 September 2026, the applicant submitted revised plans detailing the proposed
decommissioning works advising that all cooking facilities and laundry had been removed from the
dwelling. It is generally agreed that the removal of kitchen and laundry facilities together with the
internal reconfiguration of the building and plan notation for a private gym, provides sufficient
certainty that the building will function as a private gym ancillary to the approved Dwelling House.
Stables building setback
The proposed stables do not comply with AO8.3 of the Rural Zone Code, which requires buildings
and structures associated with a rural activity to be setback 20 metres from a road reserve. As
shown on Figure 3, the stables are setback approximately 15 metres from the western frontage.
Notwithstanding the reduced setback the stables are located adjacent to an unformed section of
Lukes Road with highly limited traffic movements.
The reduced setback does not give rise to amenity impacts, environmental nuisance or conflict
with adjoining rural land uses. The stables remain appropriately separated from surrounding
properties and maintain the rural character of the locality. Accordingly, the proposed setback is
considered an appropriate design response that achieves the intent of PO8.
