Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU26 0003 (As Published)

               The reduced setbacks to the west do not result in amenity impacts due to the low building height,
               detached nature of the secondary dwelling, and are in line with the setback established by the
               existing church.
               It is considered that due to the proposal being for the adaptive reuse of the existing church for
               residential purposes, with the inclusion of the secondary dwelling, and the shed for domestic
               storage purposes, the proposed 1.5 metre side setbacks are consistent with the adjoining
               residential uses to the east and west.
               The proposed setbacks allow space for the required vehicle parking and soft landscaping.
               PO20–PO26 – Building Design and Streetscape
               The proposal retains and adaptively reuses an existing historic village building that contributes to
               the character of Kin Kin. New works are subordinate to the existing structure and include traditional
               materials, verandahs, decks and articulated roof forms. The building continues to present an
               attractive streetscape outcome and maintains the established character of the locality.
               PO29–PO32 – Amenity
               The proposal is for a low scale residential development with no significant noise, traffic, lighting or
               operational impacts. The secondary dwelling is compliant in size and does not generate activities
               beyond those expected within a residential environment.
               The proposal is therefore unlikely to adversely affect adjoining properties or the surrounding village
               environment.
               The proposal generally complies with the built-form, landscaping and amenity provisions of the
               code. The adaptive re-use of the former church represents a reasonable planning outcome where
               the original community use has ceased and the development preserves an existing local heritage
               building.
               Hinterland Villages Local Plan Code
               The Kin Kin local plan seeks to maintain Kin Kin as a small rural village with a distinct hinterland
               character and limited growth. Development should respect the scale, form and appearance of
               existing development and retain the character of important village buildings.
               The proposal:
               •         Retains the former church building.
               •         Preserves an established village structure.
               •         Adopts a scale consistent with surrounding buildings.
               •         Incorporates traditional verandahs, decks and lightweight building forms.
               •         Maintains the spacious and landscaped character of the village
               Low Density Housing Code
               AO5.1 of the Low Density Housing Code requires where there is no reticulated water supply, the
               premises is serviced with a rainwater tank with the following minimum water supply capacity:
               a.        for dwellings with no more than 3 bedrooms – 45,000 litres; or
               b.        for dwellings of more than 3 bedrooms or where including a secondary dwelling on the same
                         premises – 60,000 litres.

                   PO5
                   Development is provided with:
                   a.     a level of infrastructure and services that is appropriate to its setting and sufficient for the
                          intended use;
                   b.     an effluent treatment and disposal system that does not have an adverse effect
                          on ecologically important areas or water quality; and

                                                                                                             Page 8 of 15
