Response to Outstanding Issues

Figure 1 Boundary Interface – 27 Avocet Parade (Source: DCM Design & Drafting 2022)



Further to the comments made within the response to the Information Request, consent has been obtained
from the adjoining property owners, being 27 Avocet Parade (adjoining to north) and Unit 1/6 Martin Street
(adjoining to east). A copy of the consent documents have been included in Attachment 2, with the following
additional comments provided by the adjoining neighbours in support of the proposed arrangement:

27 Avocet Parade – ‘The proposed development will add to the character of the street and will assist in keeping
cars from parking on the street. I am amazed that has been no known serious accidents to the date’.

1/6 Martin Street – ‘That the development contains a design that will positively contribute to the character of
the area. Will not impacted upon the use or enjoyment of the open space and will provide an improvement
through mitigating potential traffic impacts’.


With recognition of the minor extent of actual built form encroachment above a permitted fence height on the
boundary (30mm), as well as with consideration to the support provided by the adjoining properties
(Attachment 2), the development achieves the intent of Performance Outcome PO12 and should be supported.



          ITEM 4 - ROOFTOP:
          It is to be noted that the screening does contribute to height and the inclusion of such requires
          a 2/2.5m setback. Combination of screening, landscaping, stepping in the terrace may
          address this.

RESPONSE
Figure 2 below demonstrates the marginal extent of the encroachment to the side boundary setback, noting
that the extent of non-compliance relates to an open pergola structure. As per Figure 2 below, given the existing
natural ground to the north, the setback encroachment will equate to only 0.5m. The proposed setback variation
has been viewed from the adjoining development to the north (27 Avocet Parade) and accepted through
provision of support for the development provided in in Attachment 2.
