Proposed Changes to Approved Plans
It is proposed to amend the approved plans to remove the two (2) car garage and construct a swimming pool in
its place, which will form part of the Unit 2 private open space provision. In accordance with Condition 3 of the
Town Planning Consent approval, the development must provide two (2) covered car spaces and one (1)
uncovered space. As such, it is proposed to construct a carport to accommodate this parking requirement. The
proposed carport will be located on the northern side boundary (0m setback) and will be constructed with a
front setback ranging between 0 metres to 0.86 metres.

Further, in order to accommodate the carport and required vehicle manoeuvring area, it is proposed to relocate
the driveway further south and widen it to 6 metres within the verge and the site. Confirmation has been
received from the building designer that the amended driveway design complies with Standard Drawing RS-049
for residential driveways. It is also proposed to reduce the amount of hardstand within the site by increasing the
size of the garden bed adjoining the visitor parking bay. This will enhance the streetscape amenity of the site
and assist to reduce the visual impact of the built to boundary carport.

The proposed carport and relocated driveway extent are illustrated in the suite of Proposal Plans prepared by
Essess Building Design in Attachment 2.

The carport will be constructed using timber posts and metal roof sheeting with a 5o skillion roof pitch, such that
the carport will appear as a lightweight and articulated structure from the street. As shown in Figure 2 below,
the proposed carport will only be partially visible behind the existing solid front fence onsite.
