Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU25 0146 (As Published) · MCU25/0146

                           Criteria           Planning Scheme                      Proposal              Complies

                                         the seaward boundary of the
                                         site.


               Front Setback – AO9.1 of the Low density residential zone
               The proposal does not comply with AO9.1 of the code, as a portion of the garage eave encroaches
               into the required 6 metre front setback, with a minimum setback ranging from approximately 4.6 -
               5.4 metres.
               The non-compliance is generally minor in nature and is limited to an eave rather than a habitable
               component of the dwelling. The encroachment will not adversely affect the amenity of adjoining
               premises, obstruct views, or alter the open streetscape character of Lorikeet Drive.
               The main building envelope of the dwelling maintains an appropriate presentation to the street,
               with the building bulk generally located behind the prescribed 6.0 metre setback line and
               opportunities retained for landscaping within the frontage.
               The proposal complies with the intent of PO9.


               3.      CONSULTATION
               3.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               3.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •       Senior Development Engineer
               The Acid Sulfate overlay covers the site, although the proposed dwelling is above 5m AHD and
               does appear to require significant earthworks triggering assessment.
               A small portion of Landslide Hazard affected land is adjacent to the property but does not impact
               the lot or proposal.
               The internal width of the driveway is less than 6m complying with AO15 of the LDRZC, with the
               ability to construct a standard vehicle crossover.


               4.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning Scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
