The City has received a planning application for a Single Dwelling at Lot 1973 (No. 68) Martinich Drive, CAVERSHAM.
The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential Development with a density code of R5 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17.
The proposal consists of the following particulars (if relevant):
- 2 storey Single Dwelling
This proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks’ by virtue of proposing a 1.02m setback in lieu of the required 1.5m to the southern lot boundary.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks is as follows:
“Buildings set back from lot boundaries or adjacent buildings on the same lot so as to:
- reduce impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties;
- provide adequate sunlight and ventilation to the building and open spaces on the site and adjoining properties; and
- minimise the extent of overlooking and resultant loss of privacy on adjoining properties.”
Prior to the determination of application, the City wishes to formally invite you to provide a submission on this proposal.
Submissions ending Thursday 20 February 2026.
