Assessment against the relevant Specific Outcomes for the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality
and the Attached Housing Zone is detailed in the following table. Whilst generally complying with
the specific outcomes the proposal seeks to vary the requirements for roof form, length of wall
and side boundary setbacks.

Table 3: Assessment of key attributes of the proposal against the Specific Outcomes for the Semi-Attached
Housing Zone



The most relevant specific outcomes are addressed below:
Specific Outcome: 05 Laneways
O5      Access for new uses is only taken off a laneway where upgrading works are carried out to
        the laneway to enable the laneway to accommodate the anticipated levels of traffic.
The proposal seeks access from both Opal Street and Diamond Lane. Diamond Lane is a narrow
lane that currently provides rear access to a number of residential and commercial premises
which front Opal Street and Diamond Street and is the sole access point for the residential
development on the adjoining land at 11 Opal Street.
To ensure a satisfactory response to this specific outcome the construction of a passing
opportunity for vehicles traversing Diamond Lane is required.
