4.1 Height
The proposal seeks a performance outcome assessment against the relevant outcomes pertaining
to height in metres, with part of the roof line extending higher than the 8m height limit relative to the
height measured at the boundary.




                                       Figure 4: Areas of the building >8m height limit

The relevant Performance Outcomes seek for buildings and structures:

   a)   are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and surrounding premises and with the
        predominant character of the area;
   b)   are designed to provide an interesting streetscape and complement landform changes;
   c)   do not visually dominate the street or surrounding area;
   d)   respect the scale of surrounding vegetation and maintain a vegetated skyline;
   e)   do not unreasonably obscure views or lead to overshadowing of neighbouring properties; and
   f)   do not exceed two storeys.



The design is two storeys and does not obscure any neighbouring views or dominate the street. The
pitched roof requirement requires the apex of the roof design to protrude through the 8m height limit,
owing to the increased finished floor height of the ground level.

This is consistent with other buildings in the area that meet the minimum floor height and roof pitch
requirement. The proposal is consistent with the relevant performance outcomes pertaining to height.
