4.3 Setbacks
The building projects into the northern front boundary setback on both the ground floor (small portion
of garage and section of dining room) and the upper floor (decks, roof eave, suspended planter), as
shown below (red shade).

The roof eaves and suspended planter assist in softening the building façade and provides depth
through stepped design and articulation. Where encroaching, the built form does not comprise of
square, unarticulated wall plane, and instead includes forward projecting elements to eliminate
building bulk and scale.

The proposed development offers an improvement to the existing development (dwelling house
currently built 3.8m from Wyandra Street frontage). It is also noted that the site is constrained by two
road frontages where Council would support a 4.5m setback where a dwelling house was proposed.
The development has a bulk and scale no different to that of the dwelling house and the
encroachments are limited to elements of the building that create depth and visual interest.

It is considered that the western façade (Wyandra frontage) presents well and contributes positively
to the streetscape. The development meets the performance outcomes pertaining to setbacks.
