                                     Northern side setbacks - The
                                     proposed swimming pool
                                     complies with A2(e) of QDC
                                     MP1.2.

                                     The deck abuts the northern
                                     boundary.    The deck is
                                     proposed primarily to provide
                                     access to the pool from the
                                     site frontage and is not
                                     considered wide enough to
                                     conduct            substantial
                                     recreational activities. The
                                     proposed encroachment is
                                     not a solid built structure
                                     (being an unroofed deck) and
                                     therefore does not impact on
                                     access to sunlight, or visual
                                     and acoustic privacy to
                                     adjoining dwellings through
                                     overlooking                or
                                     overshadowing. A 1.8m high
                                     fence will provide visual and
                                     acoustic privacy to the
                                     northern adjoining neighbour.

                                     Southern side setbacks - The
                                     proposed garage is built to
                                     boundary however this is
                                     considered compliant with
                                     A2(d) of QDC MP1.2 as the
                                     proposed garage has a height
                                     of 3m, is less than 9m in
                                     length and the property to
                                     the south includes an existing
                                     garage hence the proposal
                                     will not impact on a habitable
                                     room on the adjoining lot.
AO9.4                                Complies with AO9.4
Notwithstanding the provisions of    The proposed pool and
AO9.2 and AO9.3, a lesser b​ uilding garage comply with the QDC
setback​ to:                         as outlined above.
