4.2.1 Setbacks

The proposal requires a setback variation to the front and side boundaries. The extent of the
encroachments is minor as demonstrated below. The proposal is therefore assessed against PO9
of the Low Density Residential Zone Code which is provided below.

PO9
Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
(a)    provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including
       provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
(b)    not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
       areas of adjoining premises;
(c)    provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
(d)    preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
(e)    allow for soft landscaping to be provided between buildings and the site boundaries to provide
       for trees and shrubs;
(f)    contribute to open streetscapes by avoiding buildings and structures within the front 6 metres
       of the property; and
(g)    protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important areas such
       as national parks, waterways and wetlands.

The eaves to the front of the garage are tapered from a setback of 6m to 5.4m and the eaves to both
side boundaries encroach approximately 0.6m into the setback. The encroachments are shown in
the Figures below.
