2     Proposal
As demonstrated in the Dwelling House Design Plans prepared by DCM Building Design in Attachment 2,
a new two (2) storey, four (4) bedroom Dwelling House is proposed. The dwelling includes storage, pool
room, bedroom and outdoor space on the rear ground floor. An open-plan living design including the
living, kitchen, dining, bedroom, and outdoor balcony is provided on the ‘street level’ ground floor (level
1). The second storey contains two (2) bedrooms, a sitting room, and a roof terrace/roof garden. Whilst
the proposal includes three different levels, the proposal is two (2) storeys, with no part of design resulting
in there being three “storeys” stacked above or below one another.

The new house design is modern and will be constructed with quality materials. The combination of
different materials and natural colour palettes seamlessly complements the surrounding environment. As
detailed in Figure 2, the front views depict a well-thought-out and balanced design that avoids an
appearance of overdevelopment.




Figure 2 Streetscape Render (DCM Building Design, 2024)


As demonstrated in Figure 2 above, the site's frontage uses a mix of rendered wall components and
aluminium battens seamlessly integrating into the other external design elements and allowing the
entrance to be easily identifiable. The dwelling proposes a two-car garage with a single garage door, which
blends and displays as a part of the dwelling. The design and siting of the proposed Dwelling will result in
the following relevant built form parameters (refer to Table 1).
