        •   The entry pergolas have a maximum height of 3 metes and are not roofed, and as such are not
            defined as a structure.

        •   Landscaping vegetated elements are proposed to the pergola entries which compliments the
            built form of the duplex and provides a further softening treatment to the front façade.

        •   The pergolas do not impact amenity of the adjoining properties, to the south, the area of the
            pergola adjoins the properties bin storage area and their feature entry landscaping structure (this
            is approx. 1200mm from the boundary and to the north, adjoins to a vacant rear back yard.

        •   The landscaped entry pergolas comply with outcome sought for AO6.1 of the Dual Occupancy
            and Multiple Dwelling Code as they provide clearly identifiable entry areas for residents and
            guests.

Council’s Issue - Side Setback of Roof
The lower roof is proposed 0.78 & 0.8 metres setback from the side boundaries, in lieu of the required 1.5
metres and does not comply with AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential zone code. It also does not
comply with the corresponding PO12, as this will compromise the amenity of adjoining premises.

Information Required by Council
4.      Provide amended plans that position the roof setback 1.5 metres.

Applicant’s Response
The proposed architectural plans have been revised to further increase the side boundary setbacks. Refer to
the First Floor Plan (Plan No. DD2.2 B) and East Elevation (Plan No. DD4.1 B – Figure 2 below).

The setback of the concrete awnings on the first floor to the side boundaries has been increased from 0.780
metre and 0.800 metre, to 0.990 metre on both side boundaries. As depicted in Figures 2 and 3 below, the
side boundary relaxation sought is only for the awning. The bulk of the building mass of Unit 2 is further setback
from each side boundary at 3.101 metres and 2.300 metres being the distance from the terrace and staircase
entry to the side boundaries.
