_ASTP Town Planning Report

     •    The proposed development achieves a plot ratio of 0.27:1 in lieu of the maximum 0.4:1 permitted
          (AO11);
     •    Both frontages of the site comprise landscaping within the front setback (AO12.2);
     •    The proposed development presents as detached Dwellings with varying heights and built form
          styles to the street frontages to offer visual interest (AO14.1);
     •    Dwelling entrances are easily recognizable from each street frontage and include design
          elements in the front façade of the built forms including extended eaves and window openings.
          (AO14.2);
     •    The proposed development incorporates external design features that ensure that blank walls
          will not have a length exceeding 15 metres. Further, the development provides ample
          landscaping onsite to soften the development from the street and adjoining premises (AO14.3);
     •    The proposed garage doors do not exceed 6 metres wide (AO15.1);
     •    The area between the front fence along Opal Street and property boundary is landscaped,
          however, will not encroach the laneway (AO17.4);
     •    The external building facades utilise natural finishes (i.e. open timber balustrading etc) and
          lightweight construction including weatherboard cladding (AO18);
     •    The main roof of each building has a roof pitch no less than 5 degrees and has minimum 600mm
          eaves to at least 75% of the perimeter of the building (AO19.1);
     •    Parapet walls are not proposed (AO19.3); and,
     •    Any requirement to provide privacy treatments to particular windows can be conditioned as part
          of any future development approval (AO20.1-AO20.5).

The propsoed Dual Occupancy development does not comply with the following Acceptbale Outcomes of
the Zone Code:
    •    AO12.1 – reduced front setback to Ruby Street and Opal Lane, as well as a reduced side
         setback to the western boundary
    •    AO17.1 – front fence to be setback 1 metre and step in at maximum 5 metre intervals

The proposed development is considered to comply with the corresponding Performance
Outcomes of the abovementioned benchmarks, as demonstrated below within Table 2.
