3. This Change Application

The existing dwelling within the premises is one of the original dwellings approved on the site in
1983. John Mainwaring, an architect who worked with the late Gabriel Poole on the design and
construction of the original development, advises that the original dwellings were deliberately
designed and constructed as a form of interim development on the site.

As evident by recent submissions by certain owners of other dwellings within the site, there is
general position by some owners that given the design and construction of the original dwellings, the
original dwellings are reaching an age where they are requiring substantial maintenance work and
renovation to reflect current accommodation standards for the area. The original dwellings are also
relatively small comprising an open single carport, laundry and entry on the ground level; a small
combined kitchen, living and dining area and deck on level 1; and two small bedrooms with small
built-in robes on the upper level. The demolition plan (Drawing DA003) in Attachment A provides
the floor plans for the existing dwelling. The elevation of the original dwellings are evident in the
imagery of the proposed elevations in the proposal plans such as these on Drawing DA007 and also
in Figure 3 below. The external fabric of the existing dwelling comprises square hollow section
galvanised posts on the ground level and external wall cladding typically vertically grooved plywood
and the roof gable ends decoratively clad with lattice, and roof structure consisting of a corrugated
iron over a steeply raked roof with the corrugated roof sheeting extended to curve over the hip of
each roof form.

The applicant is intending to demolish the existing dwelling on the premises and is seeking Council’s
approval to develop a new detached dwelling within the metes and bounds of the premises as
shown on the proposal plans in Attachment A.

The new dwelling proposed within the premises incorporates design features which include the
following:

    (a) Ground floor: Open carport fronting an undercover landscaped area which is partly defined
        by a small external shower and storage cupboards, securable two storage rooms, a
        combined laundry and small bathroom and entry stairway to upper levels.

    (b) Level 1: Open floor plan containing a kitchen, dining and living areas, deck and stairways to
        other levels noting that this level is recessed from the western boundary of the premises
        when compared to the ground level.

    (c) Level 2: two (2) bedrooms each with their own ensuite and robes and also stairways to
        other levels.

    (d) Level 3: family room with associated toilet shower, kitchenette and storage and also
        stairways to other levels.

    (e) Rootop: uncovered roof terrace which is partly defined by an open arbour frame and this
        level accessed by a hatch from Level 3 below.

    (f) The proposal is to use similar external cladding materials as feature on the existing
        development in that external cladding will comprise linear (vertical) wall cladding,
        aluminium, textured wall cladding framed glazing.

    (g) There will be feature visual/privacy screening strategically positioned around certain
        windows. Elevated horizontal windows are also utilised so as to increase privacy in other
        rooms on Levels 1, 2 and 3.
