Specific Outcome O45 and Probable Solutions S45.1

Probable Solutions S45.1 reads as follows:

   S45.1 Front fences or walls are setback an average of 1 metre and are articulated to
   provide visual interest by stepping the design at maximum 5m intervals.

The front fence is 1 metre high, is transparent and includes two recessed areas but these are more
than 5m apart. As the spacing of the recesses does not strictly comply with S45.1 the front fence
design needs to be assessed against the overarching Specific Outcome, O45, which reads as
follows:

   O45 Front fences and walls are designed and sited to—
   a) contribute to the attractiveness of the street;
   b) be compatible with the existing streetscape character;
   c) relate to the architectural period of the building;
   d) avoid interference with the movement of surface stormwater;
   e) allow for casual surveillance from the street or on main roads, mitigate traffic noise;
   f) provide for planting in front of high solid fences and walls; and
   g) ensure planting between the front fence and the footpath does not create an
   impediment for pedestrians using the footpath.

Comment: Although the fence to Wattle Street is not recessed every 5m, given the highly
transparent design, it will still allow views of the landscaping to its rear.
