• Eaves to 44% of the perimeter of the building; and

• A symmetrical design outcome.

6.5.1 Building height in metres

The proposal exceeds 8m set out by the Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 by 0.955m. The proposal is
therefore assessed against PO8. Figure 5 below shows the extent of the variation sought. Important
to note the section is of the roof ridge which is the highest point of the building above NGL.

The minimum floor level for Flooding purposes is 2.8m AHD which is approximately 1.6m above the
NGL at the south end of the building. The portion of roof subject of the variation is centrally located,
to the rear of the building and will not obscure any views from the neighbouring properties. Similarly,
no overshadowing will occur given the steep roof pitch of 35 degrees.




Figure 6 - Section showing the maximum roof height at the centre ridge
The interesting and narrow roof form being only 4.5m wide to each dwelling provides visual interest
to the surrounding area rather than a bulky and dominant roof form out of scale with the area. The
proposed variation to building height complies with PO8 of the Medium Density Residential Code.

6.5.2 Setbacks

Carports

The carports are proposed with a 0mm setback. In support of the siting the following matters are
important:

• The access is highly constrained by existing council stormwater infrastructure and street trees

• Complies with PO12 of the Medium Density Residential Code –
