               Site Cover
               AO8.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code – Site Cover
               This AO prescribes minimum site cover for two storey buildings as:
               •         50% for one of the storeys; and
               •         30% for the other storeys; or
               •         40% for both storeys
               As indicated in the table above, the house was calculated to have 37.87% site cover for the ground
               floor and 31.9% site cover for the upper floor as well as 24.34% for the basement, a birdseye view
               of 43.26%.
               As discussed above, despite the noncompliant basement, the house still presents to the street as
               primarily two storeys. Given, the substantial existing houses on either side it will be similar in scale
               and bulk to these dwellings and consistent with the general streetscape.
               Therefore, the proposed dwelling is considered to accord with Performance Outcome PO8 of the
               Low Density Residential Zone Code.


               Roof Terrace
               AO 16.2 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code – Site Cover
               The AO prescribes no roof terrace.
               As discussed above with respect to building height, the proposed roof terrace will have no
               streetscape impact nor present excessive bulk to the neighbour to the north, largely due to the
               terraces location towards the north-eastern corner of the site and the slope of the land, falling
               southwards.
               The proposed roof deck includes 1.75m screening on the northern side which should manage
               privacy issues and overlooking potential to the neighbour to the north.
               Therefore, the proposed roof terrace is considered to accord with Performance Outcome 16 of the
               Low Density Residential Zone Code.
