Detached House Code
Setbacks
The proposed house is setback greater than 6m from the front boundary.

The minimum side boundary setback is 2m and complies with the acceptable solutions
within the Detached House Code.

Earthworks

1. For new buildings or structures or additions of more than 50m2 of gross floor

area to an existing building or structure — floor levels of habitable rooms are—

a) for areas where minimum floor levels are available—not less than the
specified level;

b) for areas where flood modelling is available—a minimum of 500mm
above the modelled flood level; and

Cc) for areas where flood modelling is not available, a minimum of 500mm
above the highest known flood level;17

The proposed site is not flood affected and subject to minimum habitable floor levels.

2. Enclosed car parking and manoeuvring areas are constructed at a level that
permits the parking area to drain from the site by gravity means, without the
need for mechanical pumping;

No mechanical pumping is proposed for the carparking arrangement onsite.

3. Filling, other than accessways, does not extend more than 1m beyond the
footprint of any building or structure, measured from the outer walls of the
building or structure.

The filling proposed for the site is to ensure safe and convenient access to the dwelling.

4. Fill material placed over services does not impose any additional surcharge
loading on the service.

No additional loading is proposed over any Council service.
5. Where excavation is carried out
a) a minimum cover of 600mm is maintained around all utility infrastructure
(to top, sides and base of services); or
b) a retaining wall is provided to support the soil surrounding the service;

No excavation is proposed around any existing utility infrastructure.
