The City has received a development application for an outbuilding (shed) at 29 Karreen Way, South Guildford.
The proposed shed measures 4.6 metres by 12 metres with a top-out height of 4.1 metres above natural ground level. The shed is to be located adjacent to the southern boundary with a 1-metre setback.
The proposal includes variations to the wall height and site coverage requirements for large and multiple outbuildings under Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) Clause 5.4.3 – Outbuildings, as follows:
- The wall height of 3.1 metres varies the required 2.4 metres as specified within the deemed-to-comply provision C3 (ii).
- An aggregate outbuilding site coverage of 49.45m2 is proposed, varying the maximum provision of 46.6m2 (10% of the site area) within deemed-to-comply provision C3 (ii).
Because the development does not meet these deemed to comply provisions, the City is undertaking a design principles assessment and is seeking feedback from affected landowners regarding the proposed variations.
Submissions closing Friday, 10th April, 2026 at 5pm.
