Figure 2: Edward Street/East Elevation (Attachment 1, Plan No. DD4.1 B)

The entry pathways to Units 1 and 2 have been reduced in width by 0.190 metres, and 0.210 metres
respectively. This reduction allows for deeper landscaping to occur along the northern and southern
boundaries, including the planting of trees which will screen these sections of the proposed duplex from the
adjoining properties.

Unit 2’s intrusion into the setback is for approx. 3.5m in length which is in alignment with the neighbouring
properties clothes line area, which does not impact on amenity. Unit 1’s intrusion is for approximately 9m which
is in alignment with the adjoining areas open space area. Due to the intensive landscaping proposed od
Syzigiums, the minor intrusion will not be visible.

Council’s Issue - Height of Fence and Retaining Wall
The side and rear boundary fence is proposed to be located on top of the retaining wall, having a
combined height of 2.8 metres due to the filling of the site. This creates amenity issues for neighbouring
property. The positioning of the fill should taper down to boundaries where possible.

Information Required by Council
5.      Provide amended plans that consider the amenity of adjoining property and amend fill areas and
        fence heights accordingly.
