AO13.2 Development ensures a to boundary wall has a maximum length of: 15m, where located in the density residential zone, Medium density residential zone or High density residential zone; or 9m, where permitted in the Low density residential zone or the Infill housing zone precinct of the Character residential zone. AO13.3 Development may incorporate a built to boundary wall which exceeds the maximum length stated in AO13.2 to match the extent of an abutting and lawfully constructed built to boundary wall on an adjoining premises. PO14 Development ensures that the proportion of buildings to open space and landscaping on a site: is in keeping with the intended form and character intensity of the local area and immediate streetscape; contributes to modulation of the building form; supports residential amenity including access to natural light, sunlight and breeze; supports private outdoor subtropical living; provides for communal open space; provides for deep-planting areas to retain significant vegetation and protect or establish large subtropical shade trees. AO14 Development has: a building footprint within the building envelope; a maximum site that: complies with the requirements set out in a neighbourhood plan; or if no neighbourhood plan applies or no requirements are specified in the neighbourhood plan: where in the Medium density residential zone, Low–medium density residential zone, the Infill housing zone precinct of the Character residential zone or Low density residential zone, is 45%; or in the High density residential zone, is 40%. PO15 Development has a building depth and form that must be articulated to: ensure that the bulk of the development is in keeping with the form and character intent of the area; AO15.1 Development where in the Medium density residential zone, Low-medium density residential zone, in the Infill housing zone precinct of the Character residential zone or Low density residential zone, the maximum length of a wall in any direction is
respecting the prominence of any adjoining or nearby heritage place or local landmark; providing a corner land dedication, if required, that: accommodates a deep-planted large feature tree within the dedication area; provides a building envelope that acknowledges and integrates the presence of the large feature tree canopy; accommodates high levels of pedestrian movement and a high quality pedestrian setting. Note—A neighbourhood plan may indicate whether or not a land dedication is required. integrates landscaping, building entries and the public realm at the ground plane. Note—The Council’s Independent Design Advisory Panel may be invited to provide advice on developments in accordance with the provisions of the Independent design advisory panel planning scheme policy. AO47.2 Development provides a corner land dedication adjacent to the existing verge area which: complies with any dimensions identified in a neighbourhood plan; accommodates a deep-planted feature tree in compliance with the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy; is embellished in compliance with the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy. Note—A neighbourhood plan may indicate if a corner land dedication is to be truncated or inverted. If the configuration is not specified, a truncated land dedication is to be provided where the building or podium is 2 or less storeys height. Where an inverted corner land dedication is provided, the building design accommodates the feature tree canopy at maturity. PO48 Development minimises visual impacts on a view corridor of significance and enhances opportunities for observation of key vistas and views from identified view points. AO48.1 Development ensures building placement and design minimise visual impacts on a view corridor identified in a neighbourhood plan. Note—A neighbourhood plan may identify view corridors and may or may not identify any specific view points from which they are observed. AO48.2 Development enhances opportunities for views and vistas from a view point identified in a neighbourhood plan. Note—A neighbourhood plan may identify view points and may or may not identify any specific view corridor that they observe. PO49 Development on a significant corner site provides a prominent visual reference and AO49.1 Development is designed to emphasise the corner setting of a significant corner site
PO53 Development in the Low density residential zone or the Infill housing zone precinct of the Character residential zone respects the intensity and form of the neighbourhood and demonstrates an appropriate site density. Development in the Low density residential zone does not exceed 1 dwelling per of site area. AO53.2 Development in the Infill housing zone precinct of the Character residential zone does not exceed 1 dwelling per 300m2 of site area. PO54 Development provides a side boundary setback that reflects the character and form intent of the area, generally characterised by the separation of buildings. AO54 Development in the Low density residential zone or Character residential zone: does not incorporate a to boundary wall; or matching the extent of an existing to boundary wall on the adjoining property; or incorporates a maximum of 1 to the boundary wall on a side boundary where the owner of the adjoining premises does not object. Editor's note—Confirmation in writing in the form of a statutory declaration from the registered of the adjoining premises is required to be submitted to demonstrate compliance.

Note—Where podiums are proposed, setbacks are zero in accordance with the relevant height of the proposed wall as set out in this table except where located in a zone in the centre zones category or the Mixed use zone and then setbacks are in accordance with the Centre or mixed use code. Note—Separate setback provisions apply to built to boundary walls and where a building height transition is required. Table 9.3.14.3.D—Adaptable housing elements Dwelling access There is a well-lit, continuous, accessible path from the car park/drop-off area to the front door or lift, with no steps from the driveway or the street footpath. Pedestrian paths are separated as much as possible from vehicular access. All entries into the dwelling from external paths have no more than a 10mm change in level. Crossovers and driveways are designed to allow access by emergency vehicles. Note—Well-lit are areas that comply with lighting standards AS/NZ 1158.3.1:2005 Lighting for roads and public spaces. Note—Accessible paths have: a minimum 1.2m width; a maximum cross fall of 1:40; gentle ramping with a maximum slope of 1:20; no steps or ledges along the length of travel. Car parking A minimum of 1 resident car parking space is provided per adaptable housing dwelling.
