     Reserve Dedication
     Consistent Reserve Alignment
Figure 1 – Land dedication along Olivine Lane

No land dedications have been required by Council associated with any development occurring on the
northern side of Olivine Lane. This includes a recent development for a dual occupancy located on the
adjoining site at 13 Olivine Street, Cooroy. Given the circumstances, it is unlikely that a consistent verge width
could be achieved on the northern side of Olivine Lane. It would also be unnecessary to require land
dedications on the northern side of Olivine Lane, given that a consistent dedication on the southern would
achieve the reserve width required by the planning scheme for a laneway. Overall, the development will
achieve the overall outcomes of the Cooroy Local Plan Code and not impact on the laneways ability to
provide vehicular access and serving functions.



Issue – Front Setback

Noting that the development proposes access from Olivine Lane and a 2 metre resumption from the laneway
frontage is required for widening Olivine Lane, (pursuant to PO17 of the Cooroy Local Plan Code), the existing
secondary dwelling will have a front setback of 1 metre from the Laneway.

Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code requires buildings and structures
to be setback a minimum of 6 metres from frontages and as such, the development setback will be
substantially under the acceptable outcome.

Information Request

3.      Provide amended plans with a building setback that complies with AO12.1 of the Medium Density
        Residential Zone Code.
