MCU250042 - Response to Information Request · MCU25/0042

In summary, we seek a relaxation to this item for the following reasons;

a.     The shape of the lot is non-standard and presents constraints. I.e. the dimensions of this lot are
       20.105m frontage and 25.146m depth - whereas in comparison, a standard house site averages 15m
       frontage and 40m depth, which – for the clients site represents a lot depth that is approx. 38% shorter
       than standard.

The relaxation we seek is consistent with the Queensland Development Code MP 1.2 -Design and Siting
Standard for Single Detached Housing – on Lots 450m2 or Over, A2 as depicted below:




Acoustic Concerns - The upper level plunge pool and balcony is for the private and exclusive use of the master
bedroom, i.e. parents retreat. This is not a high-use, family area.

The following provides the northern neighbouring house in its current elevated position. It shows elevated
natural ground level and a retaining wall of 1.5 m high plus a solid metal fence of 2.0 metres, providing an
existing privacy and acoustic barrier of 3.5 metres.




The retaining wall on the northern side boundary is 1.5 metres high as depicted below:
