1. DETAILS
The proposal is for Building Works Assessable Against the Planning Scheme (carport within the
Landslide Hazard Overlay).
The existing dwelling house was established in 2021 (DBW21/0176, EXE21/0030, PC21/1534)
and a review of historical aerial images find that the carport was established sometime in 2023
and now seeks retrospective approval. The carport is located within the front setback and has
obtained the relevant approval for the design and siting (RAB25/0058).
The Planning Act 2016 allows exemption certificates to be issued where ‘the development was
categorised as assessable development because of an error’.
The Low Density Housing Code includes an error in that an ‘or’ has been excluded between
Acceptable Outcome AO22.1 and AO22.2 thereby making the proposal assessable development
in circumstances where the superseded planning scheme categorised the works as Accepted
Development on the basis that they were undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of
a geotechnical report.
