Height (Storeys)
Probable Solution S7.1 of the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code states Buildings and other
structures have a maximum building height if in the Industry Zone—10m.
The corresponding Specific Outcome O7 states:
Buildings and other structures-
a)       are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
         surrounding premises;
b)       have a maximum building height of 2 storeys;
c)       do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline;
d)       preserve the amenity of surrounding land uses;
e)       respect the scale of existing vegetation; and
f)       respond to the topography of the site by avoiding extensive excavation and filling.
The proposed building is 10 metres and 3 storeys in height, contrary to Specific Outcome O7 b)
(see figure 5). In this regard the applicant submits the following:
      The additional section plans are included, which show three storeys of storage areas within the
      new building. The external appearance of the building includes a zincalum awning at 5m height
      with metal louvre ventilation and express joint/monoclad wall cladding.
      Because of the awning along the Jarrah Street façade, the building appears to be two storeys
      in height from the road frontage. It is noted that a large three level pallette racking flooring
      system could be provided within the industrial 10m high building and not change the appearance
      from the street. Only two fixed metal louvre ventilation perforations at the rear of the building,
      the building appears similar to other large industrial 10m high buildings within the Cooroy
      Industrial area.
      The design meets the relevant Specific Outcomes a and c-f of the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald
      Code, presenting a building height consistent with structures on surrounding premises which do
      not visually dominate the industrial streetscape. The design also meets the corresponding
      Overall Outcomes which seeks to accommodate uses and works that are designed and
      managed to contribute positively to the character of the locality without adverse impacts on the
      environment.
