9.3.5.3 Criteria for assessment
The planning scheme prioritises the preservation of medium-density residential neighbourhoods
for predominantly permanent residential dwelling units and seeks to protect the amenity of
surrounding residential areas from the impacts of short term accommodation.
The Medium Density Residential neighbourhood relevant to the subject site is defined within figure
6 below. All of these areas are considered to form part of the same neighbourhood, as residents
in these areas would generally have a sense of association/community across these areas.
