Setbacks

Requirement :
Schedule 1 Table 1.1 Semi-Attached Housing Zone requires the rear setback to be 6000mm.

Specific Outcome:
     a) be compatible with other uses and works;
              A. The rear setback will be similar to other dwellings in the area which have been constructed within
                  the rear 6000mm setback. The structures within the setback will be the swimming pool and lower
                  deck and the upper deck to the rear of the dwelling. The proposed setbacks will comply with the
                  QDC requirements and will not significantly impact on the adjoining properties. The upper deck is
                  located to the northern side adjacent the unit development, these units will have a greater impact
                  on the proposed dwelling than the deck will have on the units.
     b) maintain the safety of people and works;
              A. The proposal is a standard dwelling construction and will not increase the maintenance for safety of
                  people or works.
     c) avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises, including acoustic
          and visual qualities;
              A. The proposed setbacks will not produce significant impacts on the adjoining sites considering the
                  heights and setbacks of the structures within the rear setback requirement. The dwelling to the rear
                  boundary is well set back from the boundary and the units to the north will have minimal impact.
     d) avoid significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including native habitat removal,
          fragmentation and attrition;
              A. The site has been mainly cleared with the need to remove some vegetation to the front and rear.
                 The design does allow for replanting of vegetation to the front, side and rear once the works have
                  been completed. This proposal is in keeping with developments in the area.


Construction within the Coastal Protection Precinct

Requirement::
No development further seaward than the coastal building line.

Specific Outcome:
    a) does not adversely impact upon natural coastal processes;
             A. The proposed dwelling is at the rear of the coastal protection building line with dwellings between it
                 and the coastal front, such that the development will have no effect on the coastal environment.
    b) it is designed and sited to protect the natural beach experience and visual amenity enjoyed by residents
         and others;
             A. As above, the proposal will have no effect on visual amenity of properties towards the beach.
