The City has received an application for a proposed outbuilding (shed) at 14 Serene Close Ballajura.

Details of the proposal are as follows:

  • Proposed outbuilding size: 10m × 7m (70m²)
  • Wall height: minimum 3.36m, maximum 4.10m
  • Existing shed: 11.42m² (to remain)

The applicant is seeking approval for a larger outbuilding than what is permitted “as of right” under the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). As a result, the proposal includes the following variations:

Outbuildings – Clause 5.4.3 of the R-Codes

  • A total collective floor area of 81.42m², in lieu of the 60m² permitted as of right.
  • A wall height of 3.36m and 4.10m, in lieu of the maximum 2.4m permitted as of right.

Accordingly, the application will be assessed against the relevant Design Principles of the RCodes.

The City invites your comments on the proposed variations as an affected landowner.
