4.2 Setback
The proposal seeks a performance outcome assessment against the relevant outcomes pertaining
to side setback, with the area of encroachment indicated below.




                                     Figure 5: Areas of the building within the side setback

The relevant Performance Outcomes seek for buildings and structures:

   a)   provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including provision of visual and
        acoustic privacy;
   b)   not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable areas of adjoining premises;
   c)   provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
   d)   preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
   e)   allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area at ground level for
        landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and utilities;
   f)   be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area; and
   g)   protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important areas such as national parks,
        waterways and wetlands.


The design includes a single storey bicycle storage area attached to the garage along the western
side boundary. Although the built to boundary encroachment is allowed under the QDC for Low
Density Residential zoned lots, this site includes an alternative provision seeking a 1.5m setback.

Considering the length of the garage is 8.8m and an average height of less than 3.5m the impacts
of the garage are akin to other low density house areas. The three houses at 888, 92 and 98 Hilton
Tce are more than likely to be built as dwelling houses under the superseded planning scheme
provisions.

The built to boundary represents 8.8m of the 66m long side boundary (1/8th of the length) including
a built to boundary element which will still allow for a high amenity to users of the adjoining premises
at 88 Hilton Tce. The rest of this side boundary is to be planted out with landscaping to separate the
two lots. The proposal is consistent with the relevant performance outcomes pertaining to setbacks.
