AO2 – Site Area

AO2 of the Home-Based Business Code requires a minimum 550m2 for accepted development,
however the site area is 510m2 – therefore requiring a code assessable application. The relevant
Performance Outcome PO2 seeks for Development to occur on a site with adequate area for the
proposed use, without adversely impacting neighbours. The house has been designed to allow for
short-term accommodation within two bedrooms at the front of the site with shared communal garden
and kitchen.
The owner has been operating without compliant since 2018 and has managed all associated
amenity concerns. The area of the dwelling is 188m2 and the two bedrooms utilise 44m2 (23%) of
the total site area. The site also adjoins a quiet local road with sufficient parking provided onsite
(compliant with the detached house requirements at the time of construction (NP2006 - 1 carparking
space)) and 2 spaces available onsite for guests.




Figure 4 – Area layout plan with marked carparking and bedroom areas.

The guests share the kitchen, laundry and living areas with the owner making for a home-hosted
environment that also offers the guests their own privacy. The guests also enter the site from the
street adjacent to their bedrooms, thereby not creating a nuisance to the neighbours. Although not
strictly meeting the 550m2 site area requirement, the proposal meets the corresponding Performance
Outcomes of The Home Based Business Code.
