The City has received a development application for a shed/garage for Lot 196 (No.124) Clayton Street, Bellevue. The shed is to be 5 metres by 11 metres in size with a height of 3.966 metres.


A variation is proposed to the wall height and site area coverage standards for large and multiple outbuildings, in deviation from the provisions of Residential Design Codes 5.4.3 – Outbuildings.

  • The wall height of 3.966 metres varies the required 2.4 metres as specified within the deemed-to-comply provision C3 (ii) relating to large and multiple outbuildings.
  • An aggregate outbuilding site coverage of 92m2 (all outbuilding sizes) is proposed, varying the maximum provision of 60m2 (or 10% of the site area whichever is greater) within deemed-to-comply provision C3 (ii) relating to large and multiple outbuildings.


The City is conducting an alternative merit-based assessment against the design principles due to the above variations and seeks feedback in relation to the proposed variations from affected landowners.
