Reconfiguring a Lot Code
The proposal does not strictly comply with AO7.3 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, which requires
building envelopes identified on a plan of development to demonstrate that sufficient building area
is available that is not affected by a site constraint or that appropriately responds to the identified
constraint.
AO7.3 All reconfigured lots on land subject to a constraint or valuable feature identified on an
overlay map contains a building envelope marked on a plan of development that
demonstrates that there is an area sufficient to accommodate the intended purpose of
the lot, that is not subject to the constraint or valuable feature or that appropriately
responds to the constraint or valuable feature.
The amended building envelope extends into minimum side setbacks to 6.0 metres from the
western side boundary rather than the 10-metre side boundary setback sought under the Rural
Zone Code.
PO7 Development provides for a lot layout and configuration of roads and pathways
that is responsive to:-
a. the setting of the site within an urban or non-urban context;
b. any natural environmental values present on, or adjoining the site;
c. any natural hazards affecting the site or adjoining land such that the number of
properties or persons at risk is not increased;
d. the terrain of the land, minimising the need for earthworks;
e. any places of cultural heritage significance or character areas present on,
or adjoining the site; and
f. any important landmarks, views, vistas or other areas of high scenic quality
present on, or able to be viewed from, the site.
Editor’s Note— Development of land affected by constraints shown on overlay
maps will be subject to overlay codes
Assessment
The revised envelope is located immediately adjacent to the existing approved building envelope,
does not encroach into flood affected land, ecological features or covenant areas and does not
compromise access, servicing or the ongoing use of the allotment.
Areas of the existing building envelope reserved for effluent disposal have been established to the
eastern side of the Dwelling house and are already in place and operational. Development
Engineering have advised that any new habitable buildings on the site will be required to meet a
minimum floor level of RL 10.75AHD to comply with flood immunity. A condition will be imposed
to ensure that the minimum floor height is enforced for future building approvals.
As outlined above the proposed Secondary dwelling is modest in scale, remains subordinate to
the existing Dwelling house and is supported by the adjoining landowner who has confirmed the
reduced setback will not result in any notable amenity impacts.
Accordingly, the amended building envelope appropriately responds to the characteristics and
constraints of the site and is considered acceptable.
The proposal is considered to satisfy PO7, as the amended building envelope remains responsive
to site constraints and provides an appropriate building area for the intended residential use of the
lot.
