PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             10 DECEMBER 2019


The booster assembly is approximately 1.8m in height, whilst the meter assembly is
approximately 1.1m in height (refer to Figure 7). The assembly areas are required to be at the
road frontage due to fire regulations, with both pieces of equipment proposed to be setback
approximately 1.4m from the front boundary. It is noted however that South East Queensland
Water and Unitywater requires the meter assembly to be a maximum distance inside the
boundary of 2m to the outlet side of the meter assembly. Therefore, the following condition is
recommended to increase the proposed setback of the meter assembly to a minimum of 2m from
the road boundary, complying with South East Queensland Water and Unitywater requirements
whilst reducing the visual impact of the assembly areas from the street frontage.
Meter Assembly
47.   The outlet side of the meter assembly located in the north western corner of the lot must be
      setback a minimum of 2 metres from the northern boundary.
The change is considered necessary and will improve the safety of the residents’ onsite, and is
therefore recommended to be supported.
Window Height Reduction on Each Unit
The change includes a 200mm drop down of the pelmet provided to ceiling, reducing the window
height on each unit.

The change is considered a minor aesthetic change and is recommended to be supported.
