Town Planning Report

         Ground Level – 8.6m
         Level 1 – 7.3m
         Level 2 – 7.3m

The front setback for the two lower levels comply with the prescribed setback of AO9.1.
The upper level achieves a setback of 7.3m to the outer projections and 9.9m to the wall
triggering assessment against PO9.

The front setback is therefore seen to align with the requirements of PO9 as follows:
    The setback maintains privacy for future residents through the provision of
       screening elements within the front elevation. The setback of 9.9m to the wall
       provides a suitable setback to the street to ensure retained privacy for the existing
       dwellings located across Elanda Street.
    Existing buildings within the street exhibit similar setbacks to those proposed as
       part of this application. 61 Elanda Street is identified with a consistent 6m setback
       for each level. A setback of 9.9m is achieved to upper level walls, providing
       additional separation from the front boundary and providing a notable step in the
       building form. The setbacks and design of the building is therefore seen to align
       with the prevailing built form and character of the street.
    The setbacks allow for the provision of the front stair case elements which form a
       design feature within the front elevation. This element creates visual interest within
       front elevation positively contributes to the visual aesthetics of the street.
    The setbacks of the upper level does not impact on existing vegetation within the
       site.
    Suitable ground level setbacks are achieved ensuring that appropriate landscaping
       can be undertaken within the front elevation providing a landscaping buffer
       between the street and proposed building.
    The site is located in an established residential area and does not adjoin national
       parks, waterways and wetlands. The front setback proposed does not impact on
       these elements.

Side
The proposal achieves a compliant side setback for the proposal to both side boundaries
of the site. The side setbacks achieve 1.5m setback to the first storey, 2.0m to the second
storey and 2.5m to the third storey of the building.

Rear
The proposal achieves a rear setback of 6m for the entirety of the building. The building is
three storeys and therefore does not meet the prescribed setback of 8m to the third storey.

The rear setback meets the requirements of PO9 as follows:
    The site is identified as dropping towards the rear which continues through the
       adjoining lot. The difference in height results in misaligned floor levels and the
       proposed building siting higher than the adjoining lot. This will help prevent direct
