1.4 PRE-LODGEMENT MEETING SUMMARY

A pre-lodgement meeting was held on 3 August 2021 (Council Ref: PLM21/0043) in relation to the
proposed development. The key issues outlined in the meeting notes are:

    ●   Plot ratio: The height of the pool and decks at the rear is less than 1 metre above natural
        ground level. The proposed plot ratio is 0.43:1, which slightly exceeds the maximum plot ratio
        requirement of 0.4:1, but is considered consistent with the prevailing plot ratio in the
        immediate vicinity of the development site. Justification against the relevant overall outcomes
        has been addressed in section 5.2 of the Planning Report below.

        provide greater individuality of dwelling units when viewed from the street frontage in
        accordance with AO14.1 of the Medium Density Residential zone code.

    ●   Wall lengths: The maximum wall lengths of the eastern and western (side) elevations on the
        ground level is 14.82 metres, with a 1.454m long screening device provided to screen the
        alfresco area. The side elevations provide variation in building design elements through the
        inclusion of a door and screening device to reduce bulk to adjoining neighbours.

    ●   Garage doors facing the street frontage: AO15.1 of the Medium Density Residential zone code
        requires garage doors that face the street are no more than 6 metres in width, or 50% of the


                                                                                                     3
