The City has received a planning application for a Detached Studio at Lot 109 (No. 1) Karijini Court, Ballajura.
The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Special Use Zone 4 with a density code of R17.5/40 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17.
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- 4m x 7m (28m²) studio
- Maximum structure height: 4.039m
This proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setback’ by virtue of proposing a boundary wall along the western lot boundary. Boundary walls are not permitted as of right within areas coded R17.5.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setback are as follow:
“Buildings built up to boundaries (other than the street boundary) where this:
- makes more effective use of space for enhanced privacy for the occupant/s or outdoor living areas;
- does not compromise the design principle contained in clause 5.1.3 P3.1; does not have any adverse impact on the amenity of the adjoining property;
- ensures sunlight to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas for adjoining properties is not restricted; and
- positively contributes to the prevailing or future development context and streetscape as outlined in the local planning framework.”
Prior to the determination of application, the City wishes to formally invite you to provide a submission on this proposal.
