Energy efficiency objectives To achieve and protect energy efficient dwellings and residential buildings. To ensure the orientation and layout of development reduce fossil fuel energy use and make appropriate use of daylight and solar energy. Oriented to make appropriate use of solar energy. Sited and designed to ensure that the energy efficiency of existing dwellings on adjoining lots is not unreasonably reduced. Living areas and private open space should be located on the north side of the development, if practicable. Developments should be designed so that solar access to north-facing windows is maximised. The dwellings are designed to take advantage of solar energy and living rooms and private open space areas and located to receive northern light as appropriate. Based on the level of overshadowing proposed, it is not considered that the siting or design of the development will unreasonably reduce the energy efficiency of existing dwellings on adjoining lots. 55.03-6 Open space objective To integrate the layout of development with any public and communal open space provided in or adjacent to the development. Standard B11 If any public or communal open space is provided on site, it should: Be substantially fronted by dwellings, where appropriate. Provide outlook for as many dwellings as practicable. Be designed to protect any natural features on the site. Be accessible and useable. - N/A There is no communal open space requiring consideration. 55.03-7 Safety objective To ensure the layout of development provides for the safety and security of residents and property. Standard B12 Entrances to dwellings and residential buildings should not be obscured or isolated from the street and internal accessways. Planting which creates unsafe spaces along streets and accessways should be avoided. Developments should be designed to provide good lighting, visibility and surveillance of car parks and internal accessways.  Complies The development is designed to provide for the safety and security of residents and property. All dwelling entrances are clearly visible from the street or internal accessway and private spaces within the development will be fenced.
and limits the impact on the amenity of existing dwellings. If no distance is specified in a schedule to the zone, 1 metre, plus 0.3 metres for every metre of height over 3.6 metres up to 6.9 metres, plus 1 metre for every metre of height over 6.9 metres. 55.04-2 Walls on boundaries objective To ensure that the location, length and height of a wall on a boundary respects the existing or preferred neighbourhood character and limits the impact on the amenity of existing dwellings. Standard B18 A new wall constructed on or within 200mm of a side or rear boundary of a lot or a carport constructed on or within 1 metre of a side or rear boundary of lot should not abut the boundary: For a length of more than the distance specified in a schedule to the zone; or If no distance is specified in a schedule to the zone, for a length of more than: 10 metres plus 25 per cent of the remaining length of the boundary of an adjoining lot, or Where there are existing or simultaneously constructed walls or carports abutting the boundary on an abutting lot, the length of the existing or simultaneously constructed walls or carports, whichever is the greater.  Complies Subject to Conditions The requirements of the standard have been achieved. The maximum wall length on the southern boundary is 8.2m and has a maximum average height of 3m, with no part of the wall exceeding 3.32m. Given the exposure of this wall on boundary to the street and to the frontage of the adjoining dwelling, it is considered appropriate that the wall be appropriately treated, so as to further limit any visual amenity impacts on the adjoining property and on the streetscape. A permit condition can address this change. 55.04-3 Daylight to windows objective To allow adequate daylight into existing habitable room windows. Standard B19 Buildings opposite an existing habitable room window should provide for a light court to the existing window that has a minimum area of 3 square metres and minimum dimension of 1 metre clear to the sky. The calculation of the area may include land on the abutting lot. Walls or carports more than 3 metres in height opposite an existing habitable room window should be set back from the window at least 50 per cent of the height of the new wall if  Complies The required light courts have been achieved and all windows have access to the required level of daylight.
To avoid future management difficulties in areas of common ownership. Clause 55.06-4 Site Services To ensure that site services can be installed and easily maintained. To ensure that site facilities are accessible, adequate and attractive. B34 The design and layout of dwellings and residential buildings should provide sufficient space (including easements where required) and facilities for services to be installed and maintained efficiently and economically. Bin and recycling enclosures, mailboxes and other site facilities should be adequate in size, durable, waterproof and blend in with the development. Bin and recycling enclosures should be located for convenient access by residents. Mailboxes should be provided and located for convenient access as required by Australia Post.  Complies The dwelling layout and design provides for sufficient space and facilities for services to be installed and maintained. Bin and recycling enclosures, mailboxes and other site facilities have been provided adequately and will blend in with the development. The site facilities including mailboxes, bin and recycling enclosures and mailboxes have been provided and located for convenient access.
