The City has received a development application for a proposed single house on 3 Flyer Way SOUTH GUILDFORD WA 6055. The applicant is proposing an as-of-right variation to the lot boundary setbacks on the south boundary. The details of the proposed development are as follows:


Zone: R20

Site Area: 412.5m2

Site Cover Area: 236.99m2

Wall height (max): 2.607m

Roof ridge height (max): 5.5m


The as-of-right variation is 1.06m in place of 1.5m from the south boundary (as seen on the associated site plans). The City will conduct an alternative merit-based assessment against the design principles of the Residential Design Codes - 5.1.3 Lot boundary setbacks:

Design Principles:

P3.1 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 Council giving consideration to the proposal, comments from the surrounding owners are being sought.


Submissions ending 30 January 2026.
