Low Density Housing Code
Application

against the Low Density Housing code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) | The purpose of the Low density housing code is to ensure dwelling houses, community residences, rooming
accommodation and short term accommodation (where no more than one detached dwelling on the site) :

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

are appropriately located;
achieve a high level of comfort and amenity for occupants;
maintain amenity and privacy of neighbouring residential premises; and

are compatible with the character and streetscape of the local area.

(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Low density residential code are:

Development incorporates a high standard of design and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape character of the
area in which it is located.

Development is sited and designed to protect the amenity and privacy of neighbouring premises

Development provides a high level of safety, security and amenity for residents.

Development is provided with an acceptable level of infrastructure and services.

Where not in a sewerage service area, effluent disposal systems are designed and sited to avoid adverse effects on the
environment.

Driveways and crossovers provide safe and reasonable vehicle access from the carriageway to the property boundary,
minimise adverse effects on Council's infrastructure and ensure safety for all users of the footpath.

Community residences in the Low density residential zone are of a domestic scale with traffic levels which do not
unreasonably affect the residential amenity of neighbours.

Secondary dwellings are small scale, subordinate to the dwelling and provide housing choice and amenity for the
occupants.

Rooming accommodation in the Low density residential zone is of domestic scale and provides housing choice to meet the
varying needs of the community.

Buildings relocated from other sites do not pose a health or safety risk or adversely affect the amenity of their
neighbourhood or existing infrastructure.

Development maintains the natural landscape character and visual quality of hillslopes and ridgelines and avoids adverse
impacts on the environmental values of the land.
