The proposed development does not comply with the Probable Solution in relation to Building Height.
Accordingly, an assessment of the proposal against the relevant Specific Outcome is provided as follows:

Buildings and other structures -

a) are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and surrounding
land;

The proposed extension does not increase the overall height in metres of the approved dwelling, and
accordingly it is considered that the building height remains consistent with structures on adjoining and
surrounding land. It is noted that a number of three storey multiple dwelling premises are located within
proximity to the subject site.

b) have a maximum building height of 2 storeys;

The existing approved dwelling has a maximum building height of 3 storeys. The proposed extension does
not increase the overall height in metres, nor the visual impact of the dwelling as the increased floor area is
entirely contained within the existing building footprint, and is not visible from the street or the beach.

co) do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline;

The proposed extension does not increase the site cover of the existing dwelling, nor its streetscape
presentation. Dense landscaping is located along the side property boundaries. Accordingly it is not
considered that the proposal will visually dominate the street or surrounding spaces. It is noted that the
proposal does not alter the existing approved skyline of the dwelling.

d) preserve the amenity of surrounding land including access to sunlight;

The proposed extension does not adversely impact upon the surrounding land’s access to sunlight.

e) respect the scale of surrounding vegetation;

The proposed extension does not increase the scale or height of the existing approved dwelling.

f respond to the topography of the site by stepping down the slope or siting above the ground level on
stumps, for sloping sites.

The proposed extension seeks to utilise a redundant area of the site, whilst still providing a stepped building
form.

6. ASSESSMENT — SETBACK VARIATION
As the subject site has an area greater than 450m”, Acceptable Solution A1 of the QDC states:

For a dwelling, garage or a carport the minimum road setback is —
(i) 6 metres; or
(ii) where there are existing dwellings on both adjoining lots and at least one of the dwellings is
setback from the road between 3m and 6m, and the difference between their road setback is-
A. not more than 2m — a distance between the dwellings; or
B. more than 2m — the average of the road setbacks for the adjacent dwellings
