3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
This application seeks a combined Development Permit for a Material Change of Use (Dwelling House
with a basement) and Operational Works (Earthworks) in accordance with the Proposal Plans. The site is
currently occupied by an existing dwelling house, which will be demolished prior to the construction of
the proposed development.

The proposal has a building height of less than 8 metres. Parts of the dwelling may be considered three
storeys due to the site’s crossfall and slope towards the street frontage. Parts of the basement level are
more than 1 metre above natural ground level due to the fall of the site as demonstrated in Figure 2
overleaf.

The proposed gross floor area is 479.5m2 and the proposed site cover is:

    ●​   Basement Floor: 24.34%;
    ●​   Ground Floor: 37.87%;
    ●​   First Floor: 31.59%;
    ●​   Birds eye view: 43.26%.

The Basement Floor incorporates vehicle parking and manoeuvring, and includes stair access and future
lift access. There is also a powder room located on this level, however, it is important to note that this is
an NCC-compliant toilet and is required to meet the latest Livable Housing requirements.

The Ground Floor comprises the main entry, MPR room, guest bedroom and ensuite, media room, office,
kitchen, casual dining, formal dining, walk-in-pantry, laundry, lounge and two powder rooms. The First
Floor comprises the master bedroom, ensuite and private balcony, two bedrooms, each with separate
ensuites, an MPR room and a balcony. A rooftop terrace is directly accessible from the eastern balcony via
a staircase. Internal stairs and provision for future lift access connect each level.

A number of private recreational spaces are afforded to the dwelling, and includes an expansive outdoor
lounge and dining area and a pool on the Ground Floor. As outlined above, upper level recreational
spaces include two balconies on the First Floor and a rooftop terrace. A modern and high quality facade
has been designed utilising varied building materials and finishes, and a modern colour palette. 31.64%
deep landscaping is proposed across the site at ground level, plus several feature planters. Refer to
Elevation Plans and perspective image in Figure 3 for more details.
