        PO41
        Mixed-use buildings are designed and operated to ensure:
   a)   business uses manage potential impact on residents, including impacts associated with:

           (i)   visual and acoustic privacy;
          (ii)   safety and security; and
         (iii)   Lighting.

   b)   residential uses do not limit the business opportunities of the site; and
   c)   residential uses have reasonable privacy, security and private outdoor living space



      AO41.4
      Dwellings provide:
   a) clearly identify private residential space by using features such as low walls, changes in surface
      texture or other landscape treatments.; and
   b) private open space or an open balcony directly accessible from a habitable room:
      (a) with a minimum area of 9m²,
      (b) with a minimum dimension of 2.5 metres; and
      (c) clear of any utilities such as gas, water tanks and air conditioning units.



Although the development does not meet the Acceptable Outcome – AO41.4 for 2.5m minimum
width of balconies (provided 2m as shown below), the existing balcony is 12m2 and provides
sufficient private outdoor living space for the residents. The proposed re-use of the upstairs tenancy
does not limit the business opportunities on ground level - consistent with the Performance Outcome
PO41.
