         Initial Design                               Proposed Changes

The reduction in the height of the landing and pool level results in the landing generally
complying with the max 1m height of structures along the boundary, mitigating the need
for a handrail. The reduced height of the pool also does not disrupt the architectural design
intent to allow for a seamless view from the pool over the landing. There are also
substantial opportunities for landscaping between buildings and fencing area for
splashback fencing compliant with the building code.

The proposed changes reduce any opportunities for overlooking into the neighbouring
building and allow for landscaping opportunities between buildings, consistent with the
Specific Outcomes of the Detached House code.

    3. Please provide privacy screens to the balcony to mitigate overlooking of the
       neighbouring open space.

Floor to ceiling stacking screens have been provided along the length of the southern
boundary. This element provides for increased privacy to both houses and reduces any
overlooking opportunities into the adjoining neighbours private open space.

A counter-levered deck is also provided along the rear boundary extending 1m in to the
rear coastal setback. This deck is designed to be recessed to not obstruct views from the
neighbouring dwelling open space areas. These changes address Council’s requirement
for the use of privacy screening devices.


The revised design addresses Council’s information request. In accordance with section
13.3 of the DA Rules please proceed with the assessment of the code assessable
application. If you have any further queries in relation to the above, please do not hesitate
to contact myself.
