Following issue of the information request, Council staff raised that side boundary setbacks may be an
issue due to concerns from surrounding residents. It is understood that this aspect was not raised in the
information request as the pre-lodgement meeting notes indicated that Council staff were supportive of
the reduced setbacks. Following a meeting with Council staff on 14 th May 2019, the applicant has
reviewed the proposal plans and considered the view lines from the existing units to the rear of the site.
These units on Elizabeth Street are approved with living areas on the ground floor and upper level as
detailed below. The units also feature a ‘frame’ around the northern balconies which focus views from
within the building.
