change of use for the existing extension to be used a Detached House. This is despite the existing
extension to the dwelling already forming part of the existing Detached House use, with minor
building works only being required to make the use compliant with the planning scheme.

The surrounding land is characterised primarily of dwellings on the eastern side of Mitti Street, with
several unit developments located on the western side. To the immediate north is a group housing
development comprising allotments that are about 350m² in area. Adjoining the site to the west is an
allotment having an area of about 600m². To the south is another group housing development
comprising allotments that are also about 350m² in area. Therefore, the surrounding land to the east
of Mitti Street is comprised of generally of dwellings on allotments that are about 600m² in area and
have a low-density residential character and amenity (Figure 2).

Development Proposal

The reconfiguring a lot component seeks to create proposed Lot 1 having an area of 711m² and
proposed Lot 2 having an area of 662m² (refer Figure 3). Access to proposed Lot 1 will be by way of
access easement over the existing driveway from Mitti Street to the western property boundary.

In order to deal with stormwater drainage and localised flooding issues affecting the land, the
applicant intends to construct an open drainage channel along the western boundary of proposed
Lot 1, as shown. This will also result in a more useable open space area provided to the west of the
existing extension to the dwelling.

The proposed flood mitigation works will improve the existing access and level of safety to residents
occupying either the existing dwelling and the proposed Detached House (extension) (refer
