The City has received a development application for a proposed carport to be located at 20 Stewartby Crescent, Viveash. The carport is proposed to be 3 metres high at the driveway entrance and 5.5 metres long.
A variation has been identified in relation to the deemed-to-comply requirements of the Residential Design Codes as follows:
5.2.1 – Setback of Carports and Garages.
- The carport will be set back 1.8 metres from the street boundary instead of the4-metre requirement.
The City is therefore conducting a merit-based assessment against the design principles due to the above variation. The relevant design principles are as follows:
P1.1 Carports and garages set back to maintain clear sightlines along the street, to not obstruct views of dwellings from the street and vice versa, and designed to contribute positively to streetscapes and to the appearance of dwellings.
P1.2 Garages and/or carports set back to ensure any vehicle parking on a driveway does not impede on any existing or planned adjoining pedestrian, cycle or dual-use path.
