Minor Change Report 51994 1391 01 [As Published] · 51994.1391.01

                    where amendments are required or dispensations have been granted in conjunction with this
                    approval.
               Applicant’s Request
               The proposed minor change application seeks an approval to make additions and alterations to
               Unit 2. Unit 2 is a ground level unit that is located on the northern side of the building. The proposed
               additions and alterations will enclose a small terrace in line with the overhead balcony to extend
               the existing study area.
               The proposed additions will not be visible from the street frontage or the adjoining properties given
               that: + it is located to the rear of the building; + it adjoins a common wall with Unit 1; and + it is
               located beneath a balcony associated with the units above.
               Assessment of Request
               The development site contains 5 units, the proposed changes relate to Unit 2 which seeks to
               increase for the purpose of 5.5m2 of gross floor area.
               The original development permit was built to the maximum GFA allowable, therefore the proposed
               extension does not comply with the 1990 Scheme. Under the 1990 Planning Scheme, GFA
               calculations included staircases, whereas the current scheme excludes stairs from GFA
               calculations as per the administrative term. The total area of staircases within the approved
               development equates to ~26m2. In this regard, should the development be constructed today there
               would remain the ability to extend the multiple dwellings a total of 26m2 while remaining within the
               plot ratio parameter of 0.65:1 as per Performance Outcome PO8 of the High Density Residential
               Zone Code.
               Further to this, the increase of area does not protrude beyond the existing development footprint
               and therefore there is no increase in site cover, is on the ground floor and will not be visible from
               the roadside or adjoining premises.
               The proposed extension does not raise non-compliance with the planning scheme provisions
               regarding private open space.
               Considering the extension, being for a study only, remains within the approved density of
               development, the development does not warrant an additional car parking space.
               The proposed extension is appropriate in consideration of the circumstances of the site.

               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
