The City has received a planning application for an outbuilding at Lot 263 (No. 20) Natham Square, SWAN VIEW. The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential with a density code of R20/35 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- 6.5m x 3.1m metal outbuilding
- Wall height 2.4m
- Total height 3m
- Colour cream
This proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks’ by virtue of proposing a 0.5m setback to the southern and western lot boundaries in lieu of the required 1m.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks is as follows:
“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 determination of application, the City wishes to formally invite you to provide a submission on this proposal.
Submissions closing Thursday, 2 July, 2026 at 5pm.
