Amended Delegated Report - Code - Planning - MCU25 0101 (As Published)

               Assessment
               As shown on the east (street) elevation and sections, the proposed rooftop terrace is below the
               maximum height of 8m above natural ground, and the design contributes positively to the skyline
               and the surrounding character by screening the terrace from view from the street with solid
               balustrading.
               There are several other examples of development in the surrounding area that includes a rooftop
               terrace, including a 2 storey house at 16 Kingfisher Drive; a 3 storey duplex at 20 Kingfisher Drive;
               the 3 storey duplex neighbouring the site at 26 Kingfisher Drive; a 2 storey house at 32 Kingfisher
               Drive; and a 3 storey house at 7 Pelican Street.
               The terrace is setback more than 15m from the front boundary and is centrally located towards the
               rear of the roof. The combination of the solid 1.2 metres balustrading and the over 4m setbacks
               from the side boundaries will not create opportunities for overlooking to the private open of
               neighbouring properties. It is noted that the side boundaries of the subject land do not interface
               with the private open space areas of the neighbouring properties.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               4.1. Referral Agencies
               A SARA referral agency response – with conditions dated 25 September 2025 was received by
               Council. The response conditioned that certification was to be submitted to SARA to confirm that
               the subject site had been remediated and cleared of unexploded ordinances and the proposed use
               can be suitably managed on the site.
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:

               24740636) their assessment and recommended conditions for the Decision Notice.
               5.     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.
