provisions.

The proposal requires relaxations for planning provisions for building height in storeys and
metres, and setbacks to Banksia Avenue and the site’s internal boundary. These are discussed
below.
 Building Height in Storeys
The rear of the development is 3 storeys high, with the lower garage level only complying with
the definition of a ‘basement’ for a northern portion of that level, where it returns into the hill. As
such, the building has 2 and 3 storey portions at the rear above the garages. Figures 7 and 8
below show the areas of non-compliance.
