                                         Editor's note—refer to Figure AP3-9A
                                         and Figure AP3-9B.

                                         Editor's note—any structures greater
                                         than 1 metre above ground level will
                                         contribute to site cover such as
                                         balconies, patios, decks, above ground
                                         swimming pools and the like.


                                         Editor's note— while the planning
                                         scheme does not require car parking
                                         spaces to be covered, the desire to
                                         retrospectively cover a parking space is
                                         not supported if site cover provisions
                                         are not met.
